there.
First Graduate Manager.
Pullman was first graduate manager
of tho annual field and track meet Of
all the high schools In 1901. He has
been an ardent supporter Of athletics
in schools. He encouraged tho forma-
ton Of a baseball team in the Sunday
school Of the Church of the Reforna-

Our Camphor Crop.

The camphor industry in Florida.
which may be said to have begun in
1908, has developed so greatly within
a single decade 1t is confidently expect
ed that within a few years it will be
able to supply the demand for this i'm
portant gum in this country. The bulk
of the camphor now used here is i'm
ported from Japan. A single tract of
! 900 acres of camphor trees planted in
1908 last year yielded over 10000
pounds of camphor gum in addition to
the proportionate supply of OIL
This little tract of land was planted
by a celluloid factory. which is utiliz-
ing the gum for its own purposes. An
other company last year bought eight
cen square miles of land In the same
locality, and Is rapidly planting 1t In
camphor 1.S00 acres having been
planted this year.
Enough seedlings are already on hand
to plant nine square miles. Several
methods, and also some new machinery
have been devised for camphor produc'
ton in Florida. which will offset the
cheap labor of Japan and insure a suf-
ficient profit.

TRAVELETTE
BY NIKsAH.
Juneau,

Juneau, the capital Of Alaska, like
most other towns of that country, Is
more picturesque In its situation than
in itself. 1t is built at the waters
edge, with dark. spruce-cla noun
tain domineering it. Seen through the
evening mist as the boat approaches,
it is charming: but closer inspection
reveals the usual collection of boxlike,
frame houses. unfinished streets-an
angular. raw-boned sort of a town. but
filled with the energy that gets there.
Much more interesting than Juneau
Itself is the great Treadwell mine,
which we reach by a ferry. Discovered
by a famous prospector known as
French Pete,' this mine was bought
by a carpenter named Treadwell for
s4O0, and since 1882 it has produced
s50.00o.0O0 worth Of gold. while there is
enough ore in sight to keep its tre-
mendous machinery in operation for
seventy-fve years to come. The Tread
well is one of the great mines of the
world. The roar of its machinery fills
the wilderness for miles. Despite It's
great size, it is in every respect a
model. Its employees are provided with
neat cottages and boarding houses and
clubs where are billiards and pool
tables, a library, a theater, ballroom,
a swimming tank and Turkish bath.
Everything is lighted with electricity
generated at the company's plant.
Juneau Is also interesting as the
place where "hoochno." the native
whisky of Alaska. was Invented. and
the method of making 1t perfected.
Hoochinoo is ferment of molasses,
sugar, flour and corn meal. This mix
ture is heated in gasoline can, while
a gun barrel running through another
can filled with ice from nearby
glacier constitutes the distilling ap-
paratus. In the most primitive OF these
stills long piece of kelp, or seaweed.
is used instead of the gun barrel. with
equal effect Thus does the thirsty
prospector in the Alaskan wilds con-
coct for himself beverage beside
which the forty rod" Of legend Is as
grape juice. This hoochinoo Is said to
have been the original squirrel whisky,
so called because it made the imbiber
talk "nutty" and climb trees. Nitric
acid" Chain lightning" and battle
AK are some of the varieties of this
famous beverage. Any of them is
capable of converting good citizen
into a fiend incarnate. and the passing
of hoochinoo will doubtless be one or
the first steps in the civilization of
Alaska.
