How Are Sandbags Made?

From Pearson's Weekly.
 Hundreds of thousanos of sandbags are being used on the continent to form cover for the soldiers along the tops of the trenches, But though the bags are being sent out as fast as possible by the author ities more are still wanted, and many people are making them in their spare time.
 The best thing to make sandbags from is the material called Hessian, the sam kind of stuff that is used to make very rough aprons. The mos, important thins to remember about the bags is their size for if they are not of the regulation size they are useless.
 The bags should be s3 inches long by Ii inches wide. If the- are made any longer they are too heavy to lift easily when filled with sand or earth.
 Sandbags should never be sewn up with thread for they have to stand exposur. to all sorts of weather, and thread would rot very quickly, allowing the sand tc escape.
 The bag should be sewn with fine string and a double piece of strong string should be left at the mouth of the bag so as to enable it to be closed when filled with earth.

A herd of reindeer numbering sev- eeral hundred head are expected to ar- rive here from Kotzebue sound within a few days and will be quartered on the tundra north of the city. Owing to the large size of the herd 1t will probably become a considerable attrac- tion to such of the towns people as have not seen the deer in his native haunts In this connection it may be we'll to remind dog owners that they should assist in preserving the herd by keeping an eye on their dogs as a few dogs may stampede the whole herd which are little used to the canines. Also there is no little danger that dogs will seri- ously injure some of the deer as was the case several days ago when two deer belonging to the native herd were so previously injured that they were necessarily killed.

C. Y. Waldblom, miner who Is working an antimony prospect in the vicinity of Bonanza creek off Nome river was brought to town this after noon by the Llarshal's office suffering from the effects of a series of accidents of such serious rature that it is matter for wonder that he is still in the land of the living. According to the story telephoned to the Nugget this afternoon by MT. Chase of the Dexter roadhouse who Is aware O. the details. Waldblom and his partner, a man named Holmes, were working on their shaft Saturday when the former, after loading hole with stick and a half of dynamite, suddenly fell from his seat on the bucket while being hoisted to the surface, overcome by the fumes from the burning fuse at the bottom of the shaft which is forty feet in depth. His body immediately disap- peared from the sight of his partner in the thick smoke and a moment later the explosion occurred as the dynamite was reached by the flame from the fuse. Waldblom waited for some time for the smoke to clear away and then lowered himself to the bottom of the hole. There he was amazed to find his partner unconscious but apparently still alive Holmes, who is rather small man, succeeded in getting a rope around his partner, who weighs close around ITO pounds, and with consider
 able difficulty hoisted him to the sur
 face. He then partially dragged and
 carried Waldblom to their cabin which 1 is over a mile and a half away from the scene. After restoring the injured man to consciousness and making him comfortable Holmes hurried to Chase's arriving there this morning. News of the accident was immediately phoned I in to town and a team was hurried
 out by the marshars office Up to the hour of going to press the man had
 not arrived but was expected within
 the half hour. Chase asserts, however,
 that he was not suffering greatly when
 passing the roadhouse and 1t was
 learned that while one of his limbs
 was badly swelled and he is suffering
 from many bruises and cuts, not a
 broken bone can be found by such ex-
 animation as has been made. Appar-
 ently the man is but little injured al-
 though falling a distance of forty feet
 and then being subjected to a dyna-
 mite blast Waldblom's cap was con-
 pletely blown to pieces by the explo-
 sion and how he himself survived is a mystery.

Love is like the strong canopy OF
a tent, which bears the pitiless hail
and the driving storm, protecting ev-
erybody who shelters beneath it. Love
is hiding place from the wind, and
a covert from the tempest She
bears" the passions of envy and the
slings of outrageous blasts of fierce
contempt. She is always rearing her
tent above the smitten and stricken
children of men, and In her gracious
shelter they find security and peace
T. II. Jowett.
