 They appointed that committee, and they did any other little thing that MT Daw suggested. and then they settled down to the real business of the even ing, that of entertaining and being en- tertained
 The news flashed from club to club of all that was being done, and the sessions at both headquarters lasted until quite a late hour, with the excite ment growing more and more intense.
 Dad Thonpson's farm was a diversi- fled tract of land. quite picturesque enough to look at, but of no delight at all to a farmer whose artistic imagery ran to fields of waving grain.
 Jinks Woods, who had hunted over Dads farm until there wasn't a rabbit or a squirrel left, was the guide for Blackies party of exploration, ard he landed them on the creek road side of the farm in two automobiles and a gasoline. buggy.

Since May, when the freighter Edith steamed for Nome and the Dlrigo left for Southwestern Alaska, twelve out of the company's thirteen vessels have been Tn active service, a condition that has not prevailed since the year mentioned. Off cials of the company said recently that there was no sign of any diminution in the North ern traffic movement that would mean a curtailment in the operation of its fleet De velopment work along the Alaska coast IS responsible for a steady cargo movement of substantial character.
