One of the party asked certain young man (who shall be nameless for the loan of some money, and was informed by him that all he had was one dollar. An other member of the party, a well known business man who likes his little joke, said: I've got $3.50 here, and I'll bet the drinks for the house you've got more money in your pocket than 1 have The unnamed one, who is known as a thorough sport replied that he did not wish to take advantage of the business man, as he really had only one dollar, and therefore had no chance to lose.

Interest in the Mexican war sit uation, the Colorado strike, the building Oi the Alaska railroad and the location Di the route of that means of transportation, and the return of Teddy Roosevelt all have had to take a back seat and allow full sway to the momcntous question: "When will the ice go out?
 Early in March, when a brief period of warm weather prevailed, prognostlcationa were freely made that the ice would run by the first of Apr When freezing weather again set in these prophecies were revised and various dates between the 4th and the 18th were predicted. Ten days ago warmer weather again set in, accom- panied by high winds and excitement be- gan to develop Great volumes of water were precipitated from the melting snow ln the mountains and higher valleys and the river has reached the flood stage without carrying out the ice. In places, it i. true the river is clear but no general movement has yet begun, although the river is said to be higher than ever bef.re known with out taking out the ice.
