eheechaco as to the length of
time of his residence in the North,
having been in Alaska scarcely one
year yet, Rev Edward H. Mallory,
pastor of ST James mission, Tanana,
and of the Mission Of Our Saviour,
the native mission located short
distance above this city, is not a
new conner from the experience
point Of view, as it has been his lot
in the short time he has been
with us to travel trails such as
even the most hardened sourdough
would hesitate to tackle. In fact
he has proven himself to be
regular Viking of the Trail as,
during his first years residence in
Alaska he travelled something over
1000 miles through the trackless
wilderness OF snow, accompanied
only by an Indian guide most OF
the time.
The trip referred to was that
when Rev. Mallory substituted for
Archdeacon Stuck when the latter
was Outside, on his annual trip
to the Episcopal missions of In

WOODS 8 KAY

Edward NJ. Woods and David Kay,
the subjects of this sketch, are per-
haps better known to their friend j,
throughout the North as Mickey"
Woods and "Scotty" Kay. Both
are among the early corners to
Alaska, Mr.. Woods having arrived
at Juneau in 1895 and Mr.. Kay
at Dawson in 1898. At present
these two gentlemen are conduct
ing the Tanana and Headquarters
bars in this city and are numbered
among the towns most enterprising
citizens.
"Yes, think this place has a
great future, and l intend to stay
with it," said Mr.. Woods when he
was interviewed. "At any rate,
should my hopes and expectations
be untitled, cannot leave the
town in any worse condition finan-
cially than when l arrived here. "
Mr. Woods came to Tanana in
1909. and has made it his home
since that time.
"Scotty" Kay, the partner of Mr..
Woods, is among the oldest in
habitants of the present town Of
Tanana, having come here in 1908,
or shortly after the place became

ANDREW 6. VACHON

There is no better example in
Tanana Of what persistence and
business diligence will do than that
afforded by A G. Vachon, manager
of the Tanana Commercial company
one of the largest of the three
large outfitting establishments of
this city. In fact Mr.. Vachon as
he says, has made" himself in
Tanana and, inasmuch as the town
has been good to him in a business
way, he is now using his every eff
fort to promote the welfare of the
community generally.
Mr. Vachon first came North in
1899 when he landed at Dawson. In
the stampede from the Yukon CITY
to Nome over the ice in the winter
of 1S99-1900 he was in the vanguard
staying at Nome until 1902. He
then went to Fairbanks where he
was engaged in mining and mer-
nontile rureuts until he came to
Tanana in 1905
On Iii1v : Of that year. Mr. Nach-
on with his brother Peter, establish
ed the now widely known Tanana
Commercial company. The business
in cabin on the river bank just in
front of the present store. few
years later the present commodious
store building was constructed and
now there are few mercantile e5-
adjustment in Interior Alaska which
enjoy larger volume Of trade than
does the Tanana Commercial com
pany In fact everything necessary
to the business or comfort OF the
trapper or prospector is carried by
them.
Since he first came to Tanana
Mr. Vachon has been a consistent
booster of the town. He has seen
the opportunities she afforded from
the very first. and has at all times
taken all Of them he could get.
When he could not handle them
himself, he has turned them over
to the benefit Of others. At that
he believes that most Of the op
portunities which will in the flu
ture be derived from living in a
town like Tanana situated as it is.
have not yet been thought of and
that in years to come this city
will assume an importance second
to none in Alaska. certainly to none
in the Interior.
He is therefore one of Tanana's
most enterprising citizens, for when
there is anything in the wind which
might lead to the betterment Of
the town. he is always one of the
first to offer financial or personal
assistance At present he is serv-
ing the municipality as member
of the city council. while he is
also a member Of the Tanana Cham
Der of Commerce and of the sew
eral fraternal organizations estab-
lished in the town.

The work which Rev. Mallory
came North to perform is entirely
different from any he has ever
had to do Outside Nevertheless
he likes it and, although he is one
of those who goes wherever duty
calls, he would like to stay with
Alaska as he feels that the field for
missionary work is larger here
than at any place on the North
American continent.

Animals Have Odd Fears.
LIONS AND TIGERS DIS
LIKE MICE AND RATS.


1t is well known that many peo-
pie have an inexplicable aversion to
certain animals. Most people have
horror of snakes and other things
that creep the earth. Captain Win
fred Gonzales, the Director of the
German Geological Annex, with
Sur Brothers Worlds Progressive
Shows, in speaking of the peculiari-
ties of animals, says: Animals,
like human beings, have their likes
and dislikes. Put certain animals
together and you will expect fight,
while another two will become the
friendlieSt Of comrades. Women
are Droverbial for their horror of
mice, but one would hardly expect
IN elephant to show fear at such a
tiny foe. This fear was recently
shown at Winter-quarters, Macon,
Georgia, where the Sun Brothers
spent their Winter months lay off,
during some experiments TO find out
the likes of animals in a menagerie.
The huge animal spotted the mouse
as soon as it was placed in its en-
closure. The elephant gave evil
dence of fear Immediately.
with one of his big feet it could
have smashed the tiny intruder out
of existence. Instead, it stood for
few minutes motionless, and ap-
parently helpless with fright. Not
until the mouse had been removed
was the elephant to be pacified, and
it was some hours before it regain
ed its normal courage.
Mice, indeed, inspire fear, or
! something akin to it, in a great
many animals. A Bengal tiger
trembled and uttered long mournful
howls the whole time that mouse
was in its cage. Two rats were in
troduced into lions cage, and the
same tear was shown by the larger
animal for the smaller ones. There
have been many suggestions put
forward for this extraordinary dis
like Of these large animals for mice.
One very probable one is that mice
and rats have peculiar smell which
is hirhly repulsive to their ene-
mics. A Puma, however, has no
such fear. When rat was intro
duced into its cage, the huge cat
made spring and that was a
goner."

The Woman's Mission Society of
the Baptist church held a very
pleasant and profitable meeting on
Friday afternoon at the home of

subject of state missions, articles
being read by Mrs. 7. L. Minis,
Mrs. Mamie N. Tillman, Mrs. E.
!. Norris. Mrs. B. B. Jones, Mrs.

A special collection of s16.32
was taken for state missions, and
