 Some months before this happen. ed ! had grubstaked three different prospecting parties.

They not only struck rich placer ground but they also found some good ledges. Harris located claims for himself and for me as well as locating claims for other of his friends.

Recently in company Wit1 N. A. ful- ler a fellow guest at tho Log Cabin hotel at Mckenzie bridge. ! walked up Che windins path through Che woods to Che wire cable suspension bridge at the Hayes place We stop ped on the swoyins spldeGwcb bridge Co admire Che view of the Three Sisters. The subject of mountain scenery brought out the ls.ct that we had both been in Alaska. Mir. Fuller looks to be at most not over 5o years of age. but he was born il Michigan 66 years ago, He went io Alaska, when. exclusive Of Russians. there were but handful of white men. and less than g score of white women in the Territory At the time he went there no suspicion existed of the pres euce oi rich gold deposits in Alaska. Alaska was an orphan. Seward had bought it for the United States for s7.200.000. but Uncle Sam did not ap- preciate taking iR the Russian or phan Tn the absence Of law in the Territory. General O. O. Howard sent a letter to the Secretary or war in 1875 and urged that Alaska be at- tached to Washington territory as a county" Oregon's United States Senator John n. Mitchell introduced
 O bnI in Congress to attach our new
 northern possession to Washington
 Territory as Alaska county. The fol- lowing year. 1876, MT. Selucius Gar field Washington's Territorial dele gate. proposed the same thing, but it was felt that Alaska was rather large for county. As there was no regular communication between AL aslyan ports. a person wanting to go from one port in Alaska Co another 300 miles distant took the monthly steamer for San Francisco and from there went back to the desired point
 This involved trip Of S.o00 miles, to go 800 miles. SO it was felt tha, making Alaska a county would not solve the problem of administration.
 In 1877 the Alaska Gold and Silver Mining Company was incorporated. The mine. or Steward tunnel as il was called. was about 12 miles from Sitka. The rock was biuish gold bearing quartz in slate formation. The ore ran about SIP @ ton. It was this mine that took Ar. Fuller to Alaska

DOUGLAS BOY AT FRONT
 WRITES TO HOME FOLKS

Another letser from the front has been received by relatives living in Douglas This comes to John Hen son, the well known Douglas pioneer. and is written by his nephew Samuel Henson. Alr. Henson left for the front some four months ago with the Brit ish Expeditionary force as a mem Der of the Bud Canadian Brigade In the First B. c. regiment The letter reads as follows:
 Just a few lines to let you know that even in the hurlyburly of Che greatest drama in history you are not forgotten. The shells are whistling and bursting around me as ] write. 80 lf this letter seems somewhat mixed just overlook it Gunfire and bursting shells are not conducive to good train of thought should dearly love to have a few hours with you now. put more than all I'd love to be home for awhile, just to have week in bed and my meals brought up Go me and Father and Mother to speak to cine gets absolutely weary out here. but there is stern work to do before the good times win come again
 don't need to go into mysteries, in a letter ike this. about the cruel ties of war but if you get a chance. just read tbe finding of the British commission on the Belgian question. They are true. every word of them the things that ] have seen myself are beyond belief and ! would have called any man liar who would have told me such things three months ago. Vengeance is mine will re- pay" is what we read in the Book. and truly there will come terrible day os reckoning for the Huns. A whole nation lies ruined, her man hood slain. her womanhood ravished all to satisfy the power-lust of im- perialism. They are power-mad.
 Sherman once said: ''War is Hell" but # be were living now he'd have to admit that Hell must be tame com. pared with what we we had to go through the other day. We were sent to reinforce a front line trench and we were seen by the enemy. They sent over such hall of shot and shell that 1t seemed as if nothing could live in it. For six hours we laid down, hugged the ground tight CT than we had ever hugged anyihing before, while the earth an around seemed one flaming mass of shell. About midday we had a lull and we dug in, believe me If had been doing piece work should have earn ed S1O iu the next hour After this we were to exhausted to move and we lay panting in the bottom of the trench while the bombardment open Cd afresh

SOMETHING TO 1T

The Star feels complimented to
see that its article on university ex-
tension is copied in full in the Tampa
Tribune and Orlando Reporter-Star.
That is positive proof that there is
something in it.-Ocala Star.
The Star is altogether too modest.
The excellent editorial in question
was copied by many other papers
and deserved it.-Orlando Reporter

The Star hadn't noticed that it was
afflicted with modesty, but it is well
known that Joe Reese is keen OBJ
server.

ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY

What is this we see in the Tampa
Tribune about the state university :?
Opposition to the policy suggested by
Editor Benjamin in his Oca1a Star
article? Yes; even so. The Reporter
Star is surprised at Lambright. He
seems to think that the Benjamin idea
would cumber the university in fill
ing the legitimate functions of uni
versity. The Reporter-Star believes
in and has previously expressed its
approval of the Benjamin idea, which
is the only real idea of what a uni
versity should be. Of course it is to
be understood that we haven't much
experience in running universities.
But the Benjamin idea seems the
right one Neither Mr. Benjamin nor
the Reporter-Star expects the univer-
sity to become that just yeti will
require many years for it to measure
up to that standard. In the mean
time we should like to get the Tri-
bune's help. Come on, Ed, be a good
fellow. Let's make the university
just what it should be-Orlando Re
porter-Star.
The Tribune is a whole team and
its help is well worth having in any
thing. If its editor will look into
what has been done on this line in
some other states, notably Wisconsin
we think he will conclude the plan
has it's good features. Of course, il
couldn't be all done at once, and real
ly is only an extension of what is be-
ing done now. A bunch of the college
boys came thru Marion county last
year, in company with one of THEN
teachers, inspecting farm work or
the ground. Fifty years ago, any
thing like this would have been con.
sidered' an excuse for a picnic, anc
would have been severely frowned OF
by any faculty. Yet these young mer
obtained much useful knowledge anc
brought large number of, people il
close contact with the big stat,
school,
Fifty years ago, boys went to col
lege simply and solely to study books
And the books they studied laugh
them mostly of the things that ha,
been done. Now, a great deal of thei
instruction is about the things the,
will probably be called on to do. Tn
technical and agricultural depart
ments of our university are the be
ginnings of the extension the Sta
proposes. They have proven won
derfu1ly successful, and the othe
things, one by one, as fast as posi-
BILE, without crowding, can also sue
cessfully come along.
