inquire.
We all supposed women were
afraid of mice but we are convinc-
ed that Miss Snyder isn't, because
she bravely walked over the same
ground mouse had traversed a
few minutes before.
Mr.. Weber from Big Stone. S.
D., who was sent out by the de-
partment at the University of N.
Dakota, to advertise the views,
was here Thursday evening. The
pictures were good, and the even
ing was spent very probably by
a good crowd. The proceeds from
this will be used for the school.

METHODIST CHURCH

The interest in the work of the
church now is centering in the
revival meeting now being con-
Quoted by Evangelist \. b. David
son. assisted by Mrs. Davidson at
the piano and in The special sing
ing.
Last week the meetings increas
ed in interest. the best meeting
being on Friday eening. when a
number came forward and bowed
at the front, signifying their in
tention to begin the Christian life.
The Christian people are showing
an increasing interest i'm others.
and a spirit of devotion and ser
vice prevails at every service.
On Sunday two fine meetings
We're held. In the morning the rit-
ual service was dispendsed with.
and evangelistic service was held.
I'm the evening the house was
filled. AT both these services Mr..
Davidson preached powerful ser
mons. Much praise is due also to
The singers who have been faith
full and have made possible the
fine congregational singing that
has characterized the meetings.
On Sunday AN especially large
choir was present, which aided
materially in the services.
On Saturday evening Mr.. David
son spoke to the students and
visitors at the Bible School on
Conservation and Self Denial. At
the close twenty six young men
and women offered themselves for
service wherever called to go.
The special singing by Mr.. and
Mrs. Davidson is also help and
inspiration to all who come. This
will probably be the last week of
the meetings and all who can are
urged to attend. Come every even
ing and help make the meetings a
success.

One Who has not witnessed it ac- cording to the authors of the Survey report, can hardly imagine tho im- pressiyeness of the spectacle. From bank to bank the surface Of the river is solid mass Of huge moving ice cakes which are constantly grinding and disintegrating with an owe-in- spring exhibition Of regisuess force.
 The freezeup is less spectacular. With the increasing cold of the aut- umn slush ice forms In the river and as the cold becomes more intense the ice incroases In volume until finally t is sufficient to bridge the entire stream. This means the termination of navigation on the Yukon until the following May.
 The Geological Surveys measure ments Of stream How near Eagle were made during the winter at point two miles above the town. where the river IS 1600 feet wide. by cutting holes through Che ice at intervals of 50 feet and making soundings In this way tho exposed section of the river was determined. and Che velocity of the stream at each hole was deter mined by azPrice current meter. Dur ng the period of breakup discharge measurements were made by means of ice floats. In the open season the How was determined by the same method as on any large river.
 Tho maximum discharge measured In 1911 was on May 22, when the vol ume was 258OO0 second feet The width Of the water service at the measuring section was 1645 feel, and the greatest depth Of the river was 2S.7 feet. The average surface veloc. ity was 5.S miles an hour

YUKON FwTH LARGEST
 RIVER IN AMERICA

The Yukon river in Alaska is one Of the great rivers in the North Amer ican continent A brief report on the discharge of the Yukon river. at Eagle Alaska by D. A. Porter and R. w. Davenport has Just been Issued by the United States Geological Survey as FaterSupply paper 8f5-F. Probab. ly few people have an adequate con. cepticn of the size Of this river and the characteristics of its How. A. Fl. Brooks. of then Geological Survey. gives the Yukon fifth place among the large rivers in North America and es. timates its drainage area at about 32O.- 900 square miles Its length, Includ- ing the Lewis and #Teslin rivers. is given in the report as S2OO miles. This may be compared wth 6,O00 miles for the Mississippi and Missouri 2'S6s miles for the Mackenzie, 2.o00 for the Colorado combined with the Green river and 1900 for the Ohio combined with the Allegheny.

TEE VALUE or
 WOOD AS A FUEL

The United States Forest Service
 has issued the following bulletin on
 the value of wood as fues
 The fuel value of two pounds ol
 wood ie regularly equivalent to that
 Of one pound of coal This is given
 as the result of certain calculations
 now being made in the forest service
 laboratory which show also about
 how many cords of certain Kinds of
 wood are required to obtain an amount of heat equal to that in a ton of coal.
 Certain kinds of wood, such as nick ory oak, beech birch, hard maple, ash elm, locust longleaf pine and cherry have fairly high heat values, md only one cord Of seasoned wood Of these species is required to equal one ton of good coal.
 It-takes a cord and a hali of short- leaf pi-e. hemlock, rcd gum Douglas dr sycamore, sad soft maple to equal ton of coal. and two cords of cedar, redwood poplar catalpa, Norway pine, cypress basswood, spruce, and white pine.
 Equal weights of dry, nonresinous woods however are said to have practically the same heat value re- gardless of species, and os Q conse. quence ii can be stated as a general proposition that tho heavier the wood the moro heat to the cord. Weight for weight. however. there Is very little difference between various species; the average heat for all that have been calculated is 600 calories, or heat units per kilogram. 4 yilo. gram of resin will develop 9,4OO heat units or about twice the average for wood. As consequence, resinous woods have 9 greater heat value per pound than non-resinous woods, and this increased value varies. Of course. with the resin content
 The available heat value of cord of wood depends on many different factors. It has a relation not only to the amount of resin 1t contains but to the amount of moisture present cords vary as to the amount Of solid wood they contain even when they are of the standard and occupy 12S cubic feet of space A certain proportion Of this space is made up of air spaces between Che sticks. and this air space may be considerable in a cord made up of twisted, crooked. and knotty sticks Out of the 12S cubic feeet a fair average Of solid wood is about 80 cubic feet
 It is pointed out however that heat value is not the only test of useful. ness in fuel wood and since % per cent of an wood used for fuel is con- sumed for domestic purposes, largely in farm houses, such factors as rapidi- .y Of burning and ease or lighting are important Each section of the coun- .ry has its favored woods and these ore said to be, in general the right ones to use Hickory of the nom -esinous woods, hes the highest fuel value per unit volume of wood and as other advantages. 1t burns evenly and as housewives say holds the neat.
