SHORTAGE OF DOG TEAMS Is
 REPORTED IN INTERIOR.

It is reported from Nome and inter for Alaskan camps that dogs will be in big demand this winter owing to the number of new camps which are receiving attention from stampeders. The hundred or so animals taken from Nome by Lieut.. Haas for the French army has left Nome shy Of good dogs, and the discovery of new beach diggings in the Solomon dis trict combined with the rush of prospectors to Dime Creek has caused a real shortage of dogs.
 Present indications are that a heavy travel between Anchorage ana Seward and Portage Bay will result from the failure of the steamers to land their cargoes and will require dog teams for making fast trips over the divides.

LITTLE TALK LIN TRAPPER AND
 FUR TRADE

Millions of dollars will change hands between the trappers and deal. CTS in raw furs during the coming | season. It is indeed wonderful tC
 contemplate, when one thinks of tho thousands upon thousands of fur
 bearings animals killed every year
 throughout North America, and stil
 the supply does not seem to be with ering. Many people are of the opin- ion that the fur industry is becoming extinct, due to the fact that the ami mals are being killed off in many
 parts of the country. This is not the case, in fact, 1t Is just the opposite of conditions as they exist. The de mand of fashion, the competition of the large circular houses and the general utility of fur garments have sent the price of furs up to such an enormous height that a clever trap per can make a small fortune if he handles his catch properly.
 The fur trade has rightly been called the greatest of our natural resources. No industry. agricultural, mineral or otherwise, has been the origin of as much wealth to this country and Canada as the fur in. dustry. Before a single field was cultivated, a single mine was opened or a single railroad constructed, the fur bearing animals of this country were the only source of revenue. This was one of the main reasons for the rapid colonization of our country, es- pecially of the west. It was the trapper's trail that formed the path of the first highway, and the trap per's fur formed the first cargo that was ever freighted on any of the inland waters of this country. It was also the trapper's catch that brought the first foreign wealth to this country, and ever since We have been practically supplying the world with furs. No other natural resour- ces have been productive for so long time or have yielded such an az gregate wealth as the fur bearing ami mals, so after all, the fur industry is not dying out. The fight is getting keener, and this promises to be the banner year for the trapper and fur shipper.

NOME MAIL CARRIERS TERRIBLE E
 EXPERIENCE.

Fred Larson, who carries the mail between Nome and Candle, had fearful experience on a recent trip in which he narrowly escaped being drowned and freezing after escaping from the former danger. He was using reindeer sleds and while at tempting to cross Salt Lake, sled and man went into the water Larson struggled among the broken Ice and finally succeeded with the help of another man in reaching solid ice.
 The wind was blowing a gale and as the spot where the accident oc- cured was without shelter, Larson was in danger of freezing to death, as the wet garments froze to his body. His hands were numb and it was impossible for him to do any. thing to help himself, so his partner cut his clothing from him and wrap ped him in a fur robe. They finally reached shelter, but the mail car rier's health is reported badly shat tered from his terrible experience.

SCORE UP ONE FOR JONES
Sarcastic Comment viii Be Appre-

Time Methods of Travel,

Down in the crimson clover zone
there were two farmers named Jones
and Smith, respectively. Jones was
old-fashioned and stuck to old-fash-

modern, bought a fine new automo-
bile. One day he was proudly exhib-
iting to some friends when Jones
came along
"Um," remarked Jones, as he
thoughtfully sized up the handsome
machine. What's that thing there
on the side?"
That's a spare rim and tire an
swered the proud Smith. 1--WE al
