LONG CREEK HAS
 A GOOD OUTLOOK

A feeling of satisfaction is expres- 'ed by the operators and prospec ,ors on Long creek and it's tributaries, says the Ruby RecordCitizen. This ceiling of success is felt by all alike, according to creek visitors who are now in town. That the creeks are spotted" is true only in the sense hat parts of the paystreak are rich CT than others. And that new pay is found in places heretofore un- ouched, emphasizes the need of more r spectors who are willing to take l chance here in preference to stam neding all over the Territory in re ,Donse to report of new find"

Fox Raising a New Industry HIGH PRICE ALASKAN
 WILD ANIMALS

The extremely high prices of all kids of Alaska furs has started a new industry in the Copper river val lev that bids fair to develop a perm anent and profitable business. Some years ago the propagating of foxes was experimented upon by some of the Nova Scotia farmers and they met with such success that they went into the business on a large scale.
 With that end in view agents were sent to Alaska to buy foxes in pairs to be shipped to their farms and many thousands of dollars worth of blue fox were sent to eastern Can ada. The silver and the black fox
 s were also eagerly sought for and as high as s2,000 was paid for a sin gle specimen. As the Copper River valley Is the habitat of this animal, it was here that the agents found most of the foxes that were want ed and this set some of the settlers to thinking. If this business could
 afford to pay such fancy prices and take the risk of shipping them thou
 sands of miles and take chances on heir dying en route or after their arrival before they could be accli- mated. it must be ak right in the native land of the fox.
 The first one to recognize the i'm )ortance of raising foxes in the in teror of Alaska was George Rorer, of Dry creek. He interested some people in Seattle and started the Alaska Silver Fox Go. Several acres If ground were enclosed with wire netting and dens were built and sev- eral pair of foxes were caught and turned into the farm, but one way or another the enterprise was not a success Some of the foxes burroH- ed their way out and some were stolen. and for some time the pens were empty. Others took advantage of the mistakes of Rorer and went
 into the business, notably John Me
 Crary, at Copper Center, who was
 we'll equipped for keeping the ami mals after they were caught. He
 now has some twenty pair, of which
 ten are silver grays. George Rorer started again with ten foxes and
 they are all healthy and there is no
 reason why they should not increase
 this season.
 c. l.. Hoyt, at Gulkana, was the
 rext to start in the business. He has spent several hundred dollars ! in buildings that are secure enough

Artist Declares
 Heat Hurts Beauty

WASHINGTON. - The only thing which prevents the American woman from being the most beau i'ul in thc world, according to Allyn Williams the famous English miniature paint CT, is the effects of the steam-heate r0oms and the dry atmosphere or the complexion.
 "The Irish girl has the best ski" in the world and the English comes next" said MT. Williams. "The American woman, in her face, figure and dress, has the beauty of the English girl combined with the vi vacity of the Parisan, but she lacks the peachlike complexion quality ir the skin of her British sister. ] have often noticed that general" when an English girl comes t America in six months she loses this peachlike bloom.
 "The American girl, however, is the best"

A Nome paper rises to remark anent the recent closing of the sal ns in that burg, that if it is
 rong to sell liquor on Sunday it is wrong to sell liquor on Monday. l.
 dmits the legal status of the mat CT but contends that the law is wrong in principle and demands a ;hange. The present status of the 'unday law in Alaska is a disgrace ! an enlightened community, for if t was strictly enforced it would be ! serious blow to business men of I'll kinds. Alaskans in the judiciar, vould not attempt 10 enforce these m ediluvian ordinances. and the
 rouble in Nome may rightly be at
 ributed to the placing of men in office who are not Alaskans an vho are only here to occupy a ia iob for the sake of the salary. II s to be regretted that President Vii son saw fit to deviate from his policy of Alaska for Alaskans when he ap- pointed Judge Tucker and District Attorney Saxton. Some men are SC straight-laced that they bend back wards when they walk. and they love their enemies so much that they hate their friends. A little common sense mixed in equal proportions with the laws would go long way toward keeping peace and order in the territory ,and would increase the respect for the judiciary.-Alaska Times, Cordova.

Norway to Adopt
 A New Language

In 1914 Norway will celebrate the centennial anniversary of her emanci- patton from Denmark and the re
 overy of her independence as a separate kingd m with constitution of her own, though united by dynastic ties with Sweden until 1905. l, is proposed to signalize the national re ioicings in honor of the ccasion b. the adoption in due pr7cess of law of new tongue as the official and national language of Norway, as eX- pained in the January Popular Me
 hanics magazine.
 About 60 years ago Ivar Aasen, philol gist, patriot and scholar, of Norway, constructed a language
 hich he named "LandsmaaL" an embodied in his new speech much of he old Morse and ancient Sagas, as we'll as the idioms and dialects of he remoter regions of the kingd m, where the peasantry have clung through four centuries of Danish domination to the tongue spoken by their forbears in the days he Vikings. Employing these and other materials and adapting them to mod Rrn requirements, Aasen succeeded in evolving so melodious and poetic language that the vast majority of his c0untrymen, commencing with the rural population, have accepte7 1t for their songs for their plays for their sermons and for their yer nacular.
 Iandsmaal is phOnptic. and is not so radically different from the print ed Danish language that an educated Dane can net make it out Something of the sort has been accomplished in Finland. save that now an edu- cated Finlander must learn three anguages, Finish, Swedish, and Rus sian, in order to keep abreast of the times in his own land.
