JUG Dog Will Bob Warren. the well Locate Tho known old timer has Pays.reak. used all methods and
 means i'll an effort to To- cate paystreak during his life time in the west and in Alaska. However. although he has come near it at times, he has never located a paystreak for himself, but he does claim to have located the pay on one of the formerly fabulously rich hills of the Dawson country by means of a mechanical device. In fact. the old biblical quotation, He saved CtUe!5, himself he cannot save" seems to work well in Bob's case when it comes to finding the paystreak with his machine.
 However Bob Is now of the opin- ion that he has found a way<to ul umately locate the pay on Ester creek, where he is now working That is, he has taken dog out to locate 1t for him.

 great things are expected Bobs plan Is to get a little gore from some place and put it on nugget which he will bury He will then put a little more gore on another nugget and give Mir. Dog a sniff of it Then when dog finds the first nugget. his education will be complete and he can be started to trailing the elusive paystreak even though 1t lie many feet un- der the surface of the earth.
 Auto Used In these progressive days More Ways of the interior to make Than One. a trip over the trail
 from Fairbanks to the coast by automobile Is nothing, as is now being demonstrated by the almost continuous travel of the ma chimes back and forth. Therefore those who can handle machines to advantage have hit upon plan whereby they can come from the coast to Fairbanks with but little or no cost to themselves, the eX- pense being chiefly roadhouse bills
 The plan was brought to light \, gently when a party of four people arrived In Fairbanks over the trail and sold their machine as soon as they reached town They had bought the machine on the coast, paying practically the same for it as they would pay for trip in by auto stage One of their number "navi- gated" the machine, which was Ford Then, when they arrived here, they sold it for practically the same price they had paid for it. and were therefore out nothing and had secured their passage free Of charge.
 The new owner Of the machine is now oetting ready to leave for the Outside. He Is learning to onPrate it and expects, when he gets ready to leave for the coast to have several other people inter ested. By this cooperative plan it is expected that all will reach Chitina or Valdez at a minimum cost of transportation, as the ma chine will be sold again, probably to party of people coming in from the Outside.
 Dan In Dan Callahan says that Wilson's as soon as certain Class. event is pulled off at
 the White House where in President Wilson will be par ticipant. he is going to make appl- cation for the position of United States marshal of the Fourth divi- sion. He says that he has no fear of being turned down. because the President is sure to recognize his ability when it comes to choosing a life partner.

 On the evening of October 12, number of men were sitting in local restaurant engaged in the pastime of feeding the inner man Glancing at the calendar on the wall, one of the men happened to notice that the date was recorded in red letters. His question of the rest of the diners therefore started with Why"
 One of the answers was that, be- cause the calendar was made in California, October 12 was red let tered as California day" Another said that it was undoubtedly Chi cago day which was meant until 1t was explained to him that unless it was a national holiday "Chicago day" would scarcely be marked on a calendar made in California
 Suddenly a wee sma voice" pipec up from behind the cash register. where its owner sits enthroned dur ing the dinner hours in that restaur, ant every evening.
