A big rock, loosened by slide which occurred this morning on the bluffs back of Moore's wharf, came bounding down the mountainside and smashed through a freight car that had been left standing on the railroad track there, doing considerable damage, but fortunately hurting no one, although there were two engines with their crews working in close proximity to the wreck-Skagway Alaskan.
 The need of immediate government action in having the coast line of Alas ka wire-dragged and the dangerous rocks charted was pointed out yester- day by Capt. F. Johnson, master of the steamer Excursion, which is now laid up at Juneau after a seasons work among tne canneries of the Northland, says the Seattle P. l. Although have spent seventeen years along the Alaska coast line aud have learned of many uucharted rocks by brushing over them. there are still hundreds of them that no man knows of, and lifetime is too short 10 search them out," said Capt. Johnson. "As soon as a rock is noted by some mariner the fact is re- ported to the government hydrograph office and bulletins g wing the location of the rocks by description are sent broadcast, but this method is unreliable and uncertain. The only way to do is to have allah the rock charted. Other wise we shall continue to have such wrecks as the State of California, Ta- homa and paramita. It will take years to thoroughly wire drag the Alaskan coast There are so many hooks and crauniea in the hundreds of inlet5 that it will be a tedious job But it must be done The routes that are com, monly used are pretty well marked, but if at any time ship should find it necessary to get off the beaten path she must take her own chances"
 Royal A. GuunisoD, former federal judge in the First division of Alaska and practicing attorney in Juneau for the past six years, registered yesterday at the New Washington with Mrs. Gun nison and their son, says a Seattle paper.

"South- eastern Alaska is suffering just now from an oversupply of labor" he con' tinued. "Otherwise things are going along nicely. Nothing exciting, but there is a goed conservative growth in all directions, none of the industries are closing down, and there is a very pleasant spirit of optimism" Of the political situation in Alaska, he said. oIt looks to me as though the noQ- partisan candidates will win most ot the places in Southeastern Alaska.

 John Dixon, one of the party of scientists and collectors on the whaler Polar Bear, reached Seattle after more than a year in the Arctic, during which he spent a great deal of his time in getting specimens of the bird life in the Far North. The birds which he collected are on their way to the Thay- CT museum in Lancaster, Mass, while the animals will be placed in the Mu scum of Comparative Zoology, in Cam bridge, Mass. Mr. Dixon was carrying with him several small, fine skius, one of the pygmy weasel, which he protest ed was incorrectly called the pygmy ermiue. He also protested that the animal commonly known as the er- mine, of which he had several skins, is not an ermine, but a weasel. He also had Che skin of a small species of muskrat
 Fairbanks Weekly Times: That Fair banks and Che Panama valley can supply not only enough vegetables for it's own consumption. but can aud will supply a good part of the products to be consumed throughout the whole of Interior Alaska. is being demonstrated this year more than ever before On the steamer Tauaus, which left yester- dag for lower and upper river conucc Gous, a large shipment of vegetables was made, aud for the balance of the season each boat will take a good sized cargo of garden produce from here. Several year ago it was not thought possible that Fairbanks could ever pro duce enough potatoes and other vege- tables for it's own use, yet several of the most prominent agriculturists in the district claim now that the farmers here can produce more than they can sell It is for this reason that they are shipping to Ruby, lditarod and other lower river points, where they are getting substantial prices.

It is with a feeling akin to sadness that the people of Whitehorse contemplate the semi seldom winter service on the railroad.

Ceredo Woman's Club.

The Ceredo Woman's club held 8
most interesting meeting with Mrs,
y. l.. Long and sister, Miss Grace
Hewitt, on last Thursday evening
A goodiy number of club mem be RI
were present and in addition &c
these were Mrs. Van Alta Of Colu,n
bus, Ohio. Miss Amos of Kenova
and Miss Blanche Griffith of this
place.
The program for the evening was
conducted by Miss May McDongal.
The first number on the program
whose subject dealt with that which
is dearest TO the American woman q
heart, 1.-The Home" was a paper by
Miss May Williams on "Textile In
Household Furnishings"
The writer showed us the value of
the color scheme in furnishing a
home, aud that contrast must be
used TO avoid monotony. The dis
tinction between bright and vivid
coloring was well brought out. The
amateur should adhere closely to
Persian rugs aud tapestries in house
furnishings and he will not 90 far
wrong.
Mrs. Eustace Adkins followed
with a very unique method of pre-
senting her subject, "Colonial Fur
niture," by interspersing her talk with
illustrations of the different kinds
OF furniture used by our ancestors.
Her talk began with the evolution
Of the chest, taking 1t from its be-
ginning as seat and receptacle for
the family treasures and heirlooms

Then the important designers
were taken up, the most famous be-
ing Chippendale. Then that i'm.

the four poster bed, was considered
with it's silk and damask curtains.
All ending with the maybe not we'll
known truth that the pioneers of
our country had luxuries of living
along with their reverses and hard
ships.
The final number was an interest
ing reading "!s Your Home Hon.
est2" by Miss Blanche Bush.
The social hour was filled with
the telling of funny stories, and de-
llcious refreshments served by the
hostesses, after which the club ad-
journed to meet with Mrs. Mott

High Cost of Living Re-
duced Fifty Per Cent.

People in town and cities could
save about cne-half their living ex-
penses if they would grow their own
fruit for Home use. Most people
have little garden back of their
home, where a few Fruit trees could
be planted, grapes could be planted
along the fence where they would
take up very little room, a patch of
Raspberries or Straw berries and a
few Rhubarb plants for pies. What
a great saving this would IN; an to
you and how nice and fresh and
juicy everything tastes when fresh
picked, from your garden. What a
pleasure 1T is to go out into your
own garden and pick a basket of
Strawberries or pick off some nice
ripe, juicy Peaches.
You would be surprised to know
the little amount of money it takes
to get plants enough for your garden
why a few dollars will do the
whole business if you buy your
plants direct from some good grow
