NAUGHTINESS OF NOME IS
 BEWALLED BY MINISTER

(Dr. Bauer in Salem (Ore) Statesman)
 l am just now completing my two years ministry, which, according to our federated plans of alternating with the Methodists, is 1ny limit. During these two years 1 have been trying to answer the great conun- drum, Why is mining camp? It is still unsolved 1 know more about mining camps than I did before, but there are deep things still unsolved. Here are some of the things l found out: Nome has booze bill of over S1,000 per day; the big days are just after the fall clean-ups. Gambling, while opposed by city and federal authori- ties, IS prevalent and damning Forty six painted creatures of the underworld came in on the boats now in the harbor over crowding the 'cribs," coming to prey on the miner who strikes it rich. Besides this open evil we have an agnostic editor whose delight is to hurl his shafts of scorn at par sons and church pillars.
 In opposition to these things we have one little Protestant church, the Church Of Rome consistently refusing to take any part in moral crusades, but receiving much of its support from saloon men, There is a kind of lonesome feeling for the pastor of the little church as he faces the Ahazes and Jezabels and there are no juniper trees to resort to.

PARROT TO PLAY PART
 IN MODERN WAR GAME

For once much-lauded Polly of wants a-cracker fame has proved herself useful as we'll as noisily ornamental, and the green tailed prattler is now an important feature in the intricate sniping system which has been developed in Europe during the past year, says an exchange.
 A French scientist recently discovered that the parrot is acutely sensitive to the pres ence of air r-craft, and accordingly the allies have Stationed" 8 number of the Pollies on the Eiffel tower, in Paris, in order to warn the sentries of the approach of Ger man Taubes. Before the intruding ma chine-bird is visible to the human eye the parrot fairly "bristles with excitement" and begins to screech.
 Polly's acuteness is not due to her eye sight, as one might suppose, but to an un- usual sense of hearing which enables her to give very valuable warning.
 The bird corps is not restricted to caged birds, however or even to those of the land. At sea the gulls are almost of as great serv- ice as they are quick to betray the presence of submarine which rises to the surface. As soon as the periscope appears above the water the gulls rise in big t1ocks, circllng around it and calling shrilly thus indicat- ing the whereabouts of the submarine to the lookouts of any ship that happens to be in the vicinity,

BROTHER AGAINST BROTHER
 IN FIGHTING IN POLAND

(London Correspondence Associated Press)
 The desperate fighting now going on around Warsaw and throughout the eastern zone of operations centers attention on the colossal tragedy of Poland the second that unhappy country has endured, the first hav- ing stirred America to it's depths when Kos ciusko went there to tell Poland's own story and left its memories in the statue of the Polish lberator in one of the public squares of Washington
 But that first tragedy was as nothing compared with what Poland is now under going, the entire theater of eastern fighting being within the territory of the old king dom of Poland, with Russian armies tramp ing over the north and west, all compress ing Poland as in double vice from four sides marching and fighting on scale of unprecedented magnitude, and leaving a train of wreck and desolation even greater than that of Belgium and Serbia.

FOOL RESIDENTS OF NORTH"
Seattle Post -Intelligencer)

"The Post -Intellgencer's editorial article yesterday entitled "A Flyer in Foxes must have proved somewhat of revelation to the reading public" said an old Alaskan "but nevertheless it represents but one side of the story, the Canadian end of it.
 Tt is not generally known, perhaps, that most of the silver gray foxes referred to by United States Consul Mays at Charlotte town are taken from the islands and main land of Alaska Originally they were stocked by the Russian government. Dur ing the past thirty years, what with the use of poison and other unlawful methods of destruction for their pelts, this most val uabIe fur animal has been reduced to q van ishing point. Of late years the Canadian breeder has appeared upon the scene with money in hand and for S200 each has bought up almost every remaining animal and shipped it out on an easily acquired department permit.
 ''So eager has been the pursuit at this price by both native and white men alike that the coming two years will certainly witness the departure to Prince Edward island of the last living silver gray fox from Alaska.
 "The gaping outsider may inquire with indignation. Where are the officers, the game wardens, the laws for the preserVa- ton of fur, fish and feathers? The answer comes laundering back, These are all joke. a roaring farce, and outside of the beautifully written annual reports of these officials, but dead letter Thus the fool residents of this Northern territory have dissipated their valuable patrimony for 8 mess of pottage to enrich their most enter prising neighbors of Prince Edward island. Ponderinc over these things makes hot the blood of the Alaska pioneer"

ANTIMONY IN NOME DISTRICT

The antimony rock which He'd and Strand are showing, and of which they will export a parcel of fifty tons is possibly the purest ore that it is possible to obtain in the native state Notwithstanding freight rates are so high, the operation of the mine in spite of the favorable demand would hardly be profitable. It is stated that almost fifty dollars ton is demanded for freighting the ore to Nome.-Industrial Worker July 29.

''On the excessively hot days horses
die by the score in every large city.
Beating sun, hot pavements and heavy
loads make a deadly combination for
the sturdiest horse. In weather ex-
tremes the loads must be lightened or
the speed reduced. In either event the
horse is unable to accomplish the work
| that IL expected OF him. This means that
the slowness of progress made by the
horses prolongs the days work for them
