The highest known price ever paid
for beefsteak was at Circle City. Alas
ka. a town that sprang up almost in
the night during the Klondike gold ex-
element The first steak to reach
there sold for $4S a pound. 1t was a
ten pound steak and was sent from o
point fifty miles away. 1t was placed
on exhibition and was such a curiosity
that all the miners turned out In a
body to see it
OF course every one wanted a piece
of the precious meat, and the prices
offered might have resulted in a gen

one thought of rafting the steak for
the benefit of hospital which bish-
op was trying to establish for the min.
ers at Circle City. Bids started at Sc
pound and rose quickly to $35 At
last, in order to avoid possible trouble,
it was decided to sell tickets at prices
ranging from 30 cents to $3.50 for the
privilege Of drawing a slice. After
$3.50 worth Of tickets had been sold
the drawing began. and to the relief OF
those in charge Of the enterprise nc
serious consequences resulted.-DetroIi

CURIOUS HAWAIIAN GRASS.
Why Thousands Of the Islands Cattle
Never Drink Water.

Never Drink Water.
The proverbial horse which can
be led to water, but which cannot
be made to drink, exists in large
numbers in the Hawaiian Islands.
Among the cattle he has thousands
of cousins of the same proclivities.
1t is a surprising statement to
make and yet one that is literally
true and so commonplace that no
one there thinks anything about it,
that there are hundreds of horses
and thousands of cattle which never
take drink of water throughout
the whole course of their lives.
On all the islands the upper alti-
tudes of the mountains are given
up to cattle ranges. The cattle run
wild from the time they are born
until they are rounded up to be sent
to the slaughter house. Except dur
ing the possibly two or three months
Of the rainy season there are no
streams or pools of water in any
part where the cattle range.
But everywhere there grows re-
cumbent, jointed grass, known by
the native name MAMMA. This is
both food and drink, says a recent
traveller. Horses and cattle grazing
on it neither require water nor will
they drink it when offered.
Our first experience with this fact
was on trip to Heleakala. A party
were mounted on horses which had
just been brought in from the
range. The journey they made was
fourteen miles, in which distance
they assembled 5000 feet. The party
started in the afternoon and at sun
set halted for supper. They thought
it strange that the horses should
leave feed of grain to nibble the
scanty grass which grew near by
but were willing to trust their in
stinct in the matter.
However, before starting, they in
! sisted that they be given water. The
native guide demurred, saying that
they didn't need it, but with the
good natured compliance of his race
yielded to requests and led detouI
of about a mile, which brought the
party to a ranch house where there
was well. But to the utter amaze
ment of the travellers the horses
would not drink.
They took it as another case OIL
instinct and assumed that the water
for some reason was not good anC
so refrained from drinking it them
I selves. 1t was not until the return
the second day to K.awaapae thai
the travellers learned the secret Of
the wonderful MAMMA grass.-Phil

THIRTY-ONE KILLED

SEATTLE, Nov. 17.-Thirty-one men were killed yesterday by an ex- plosion in the fifteen hundred foot level of the Northwestern Improve ment Company's mine at Ravensdale thirty miles from Seattle. Only three were saved. The explosion is believ- ed to have been caused by dust. Work CTS with oxygen helmets are working m relays against gas, smoke and de- DriS. Six bodies and the three in- Jured survivors have been taken out and now it is feared the work can not continue. Many of the dead are Americans.
