SHE WASN'T WHAT
 SHE SEEMED TO BE.

LOS NGELES.-Eugenie De For est, who for twenty-five years had posed as a man, was twice married once as woman, and then a. a man-and divorced. and who for five years conducted school of dramatic art as Professor" De For est, has confessed to the police the story of her duplicity.
 The woman's story reads like t page from the Arabian Nights.
 'I have always been sexless." she declared. "I have the body of q woman and the thoughts and char acteristics of man.
 Early in my life l met J. H. Hart, newspaper man in New York. His love-making was violent and after explaining to him my secret, he consented to our mar riage. We lived together many years as chums and were as happy as it is possible for two mortals to be.
 After Mr Hart's death l went to San Francisco and then came to Los Angeles and opened my school of dramatic art. Soon after that met Margaret Barton Hawley, house. keeper for a prominent man her.. and she proposed to me- l told her that there were obstacles in the road, but she waived them aside Then I told her that if she wished to be my wife she would have tc live in companionship based on higher plane.
 "She was willing and the cere- mony was performed. But she soon tired of the arrangement. and sepa- ration followed.
 T have harmed no one. If the law insists, ] will cast off mans clothing. and again become Eugenie, the woman 1 was when first wife"

Roadhouse Man
 Makes Report

J, w. McCluskey, the Richardson roadhouse man and freighter, made business trip to town last week He reports all as quiet up his way When he go. away for the upriver mining camp he took a load Of supplies for his roadhouse
 MT. McCluskey is the pionee, rancher of Richardson. He sta!ed a homestead there about nine years ago and since that time has put a large portion of 1t in cultivation His premier crop is "spuds,' and. according to those who know, MT McCluskey raises the best spuds in the Tanana valley. In fact, hls potatoes are so good that it is bare ly possible for the best connois CUTS to pick the difference between them and Outside potatoes.
 Figuring that within the neHt few years travel over the trat! from the coast to the interior will be heavy, MT. McCluskey has estab lished a roadhouse business in con, nection with his ranch He operat- ed the roadhouse during the past summer and found the business profitable, The summer trail to the coast runs through MT. McClus keys ranch and his roadhouse is located on 1t
 The roadhouse man Is planning to build large garage at his place next spring. The material Is all on the ground ready for use, and he expects to start the construc tion of the new building as soon as spring opens. He will therefore be able to accommodate automobiles during the entire summer.
 MT. McCluskey is planning a trip to the Outside soon. While he is on the coast he will make the pur- chase of ten good milch cows and will make arrangements to bring lIlCllt lo AAo pitlSC o'Ci lilC u GIL with some outfit bringing cattle to the interior. He expects to re turn from the Outside before the breakup, and will probably bring team of horses and a quantity of supplies with him,

THE CITIZEN WAS RIGHT.

A couple of weeks ago The Citizen printed a letter from Mir John Zug in which he proved to himself that we were treating him very badly when We made the statemen, that he had never built trail in Alaska that was worthy the name His reasoning was so plausible, and his tears (Detween the lines) SC copious that he had us going for time, and we printed his letter without comment. We are free from his "spell' now, for we have been up and over his latest blum der. Everything we have ever said about Mir. Zug's ability as a road builder goes double from this time nn

POLO PONY CALLS FOR
 AND DELIVERS MAIL

PORT CHESTER, N. Y., Sept. 27. One of the regular callers at the postoffice here is Trix, polo pony owned by Mrs. Charles J. Gould. When the mail arrives from New York each day he takes his place in line with the persons waiting for the distribution of the letters, and when it comes his turn he pokes his nose under the bronze grating of the delivery window and the mail for Mrs. Gould and her household is placed between his teeth.
 Then TrN whinnies thank you" and backs out of the postof- fee gracefully. When he reaches the street he canters proudly for the Gould home. where he walks up to the front veranda and gives the package to Mrs. Gould.
 Thomas Still, the Gould coach man. taught Trix to do this.

 BROOKS people are preparing to profit by former experiences of new mining camps, and if the signs are right. it may prove to be one new camp that will not be visited by the fire demon within year of Is birth. Ojala.
 R. J. SOMMERS, successor to MT. John Zug, had one put over on him when he became heir to the Olnes trail route, all arrangements hay ing been made before he took up the reins of office. He Is not to be blamed for the crime.
 IF Fairbanks "~,es to control the trade of the new camp, her peo- pie must put their hands in their
 'C"kets again. The pay and pros poets of the Tolovana camp demand machinery, and the merchants Of Fairbanks have it for sale Alto gether now for a Surface route!
 OPTIMISM Is plainly written on the face of every resident of the Tolovana camp. Two sawmills run ming night and day for several months are not able to supply the demand for lumber at $1O0 per thousand. A town of some 100 buildings built up inside of two months. Almost pay prospects re- ported from several creeks each day and people nocking in from all sections of Alaska. Why should mt they be optimistic?
 IF any individual. or group oi individuals. were to take contract from the government to build trail for practical purposes into the new camp, and would deliver, as com plete, the present Olnes trail, they would not receive one cent of the purchase price. and if any cash had been advanced, the governmen, would attempt to. and could, recover the amount paid, and the mners would be entitled to damages, by virtue of one years delay.
