1T looks like we will get through
without an accident" At Pinewood
the train stopped and he had seen
several negroes and two or three
white men unloadcd. He was stand
ing on the rear platform, when he
heard pistol shot. This attracted
his attention TO that side and as the
train started and the rear Of the
train passed the place where the ne
grOes had unlOaded he saw one of
the negroes throw up his pistol and
fire in his direction. He felt the
shock and pain from the bullet and
knew that he was shot. After the
train had passed another shot was
fired.
Mr.. Cole stated thta he did not
think that the man had fred at him,
put that he merely fired at the train
and he proved to be the innocent VIC
tim of the shot. This opinion, he stat
ed, was strengthened by the fact that
the negro had already fired one shot
at the train and fired another after
1T had passed. He stated that he
hoped that the man would be caught,
as he thought he should be pun
ised for such criminal indiscrminatc
shooting at train, whether he
hit anyone or not.

the people got hold of one of my

remains that the horse saw the sign
in the window and stopped there be-
cause it was my sign. Other signs
for water had been left in the win

never before offered to stop there.
That was not the first time that
he horse picked out the place where
my signs are displayed. He seems
always to know where my cards are,
and never makes a mistake in stop
ping at places
Among the friends and neighbors
of Mr. Musgjerd his stories about
his horse have long been a matter
of comment The horse is eight years
of age. and he is treated as good as
though he were human.
The horse has the distinction of
living in two room house, built
for the use Of people. but later as
signed to his private use. The house,
it is said was papered and fitted
up to rent, but as no renter appear
ed. Mr.. Musgjerd decided to put his
horse in it,
From some of Mr., Musgjerd's
friends comes the story that When
the horse was first taken to the
door of the house he refused to
enter. Just why he objected to
going into the house was not at
frs. made clear, but it was thought
due to the wall paper. This was
then removed, and the horse made
no further objections to his new
home.

Swallows Balloon

Dr. A. ]. Carlson of the Universi-

method of measuring the degree OF

which is inflated with air after Il
reaches the stomach. By DR.. Carl
sons method the contracting walls
Of the stomach press against the in
flated balloon and force the air
from it. The amount of the air
expelled fixes the degree of hunger,
and the rapidity Of its expulsion
shows the rate at which hunger is
increasing.

Good Pay Found on
Twenty-mile Creek

Gravel running from 81 to nearly
81 to the square foot of bedrock has
been struck on the Gold Bar associa-
ton claim on Twenty-Mile creek, in
the Salchaket district, according to
a statement made Saturday by Char
ley Anderson one of the owners
of the mine, who is spending a few
days in town.
The claim is owned by Oscar
Pearson and Mr.. Anderson, and aft
err everyone else gave up working
there they continued to sink holes
in hope of finding good paystreak
Late in February they located dirt
that ran to more than a dollar
foot, and this has steadily increased
as they have extended their drift,
which is now about 60 feet. There
is no water on the claim and the
bed rock is about IS feet from the
surface.
Arrangements have been made
with Ernest Peterson to move his
machinery from Goldstream to the
new find, where it will be operated
this year.

ton of the trail and its dangers to
Fairbanks. Finally Mr.. Rowson puts
an end to the discussion).
Mr.. R.: Well, if I am willing to
take the IRISH as far as the breakage
is concerned, you'll send the pack
ages, won't you?
Clerk: Yes, certainly we'll send
them, but l was just warning you.
as you are evidently not familiar
with the conditions in Alaska
Mr.. R.: My friend, l probably
know great deal more about AL
aska than you, for | have lived for
several years at Fairbanks, and
have crossed the trail between that
place and Cordova. For your own
information, and to keep you from
giving people wrong information,
will explain how these packages will
go.
The packages will go by rail from
here to Seattle, and from that place
they will be sent by steamer to
Cordova From Cordova they will
go about 1870 miles by the Copper
River & Northwestern railroad to
Chitina From Chitina they will be
shipped in a comfortable horse stage
to Fairbanks, a distance of some
thing more than 300 miles.
The road from Chitina, called by
Alaskans a trail, is good wagon
road in winter time, and was built al
great expense by the government
and the Territory of Alaska. There
are roadhouses at convenient dis
tances, and passengers and freight
are taken over it all through the
winter months without accident, for
the snow in the interior of Alaska
is never deep and the road in win
ter is never impossible.
CAT this juncture the clerk gets
very busy, and the dialogue comes
to an abrupt end).

Express Clerk Gets Lesson About Alaska
Returning Traveller Tells Funny Story

How much in error is the popular
understanding of conditions in AL
aska in frequently related in news
paper articles and letters from the
Gu side but one of the most striking
instances is told by Walter Rowson
of this city, who recently returned
from trip to Europe and various
parts of the United States, he hay
ing had the pleasure of humiliating
an express official who should have
known 100 much of the conditions
in Alaska to have misrepresented
them.
The returning Fairbanksan had
bought some Christmas presents
while abroad, and wanted to express
them from Portland to friends in
Fairbanks.
The conversation at the express
office with one of the clerks there
was in effect as follows:
Mr.. RoWson: | want to express
these packages to Fairbanks, Alaska,
Clerk Anything breakable In
them?
Mr.. R.: One of them contains an
expensive Turkish pipe.
Clerk: 1t won't do to send any
thing breakable to Fairbanks, Alas
ka. If you knew anything about that
country, you wouldn't attempt such a
thing. You see, after the package
leaves the steamer, they have to go
by dog teams for nearly 500 miles
over glaciers and mountains of ice
before they get to Fairbanks.
Mr. r.. Is that so?
Clerk: Yes, indeed. In making
that long trip over the ice, the
sleighs are often overturned, and it
is almost impossible to carry any
thing without getting it broken, pro-
vided it is breakable. You've no
idea what that country it.
