Office BOYS Education.

Rubbing against the rough edges in

cago office boys the brightest in the
world. Here is a story offered by a
lawyer who doesn't know whether it
proves or disproves the theory.
Some time ago Smith entered his
private off ce, glanced at his desk and
then called the small office boy that
he had just hired.
Tommy" said he, did you see a
letter lying on my desk?"
Yes, SIR" was the prompt response
of the office boy. 81 took it down to
the postoffice and dropped it in the
hole"
What did you do that for?" de-
manded the boss. Didn't you see that
it had no address on it?"
Yes, sir" answered the boy, "but
thought you did it on purpose so that
] couldn't tell who you were wirtin' to-"

Big Wood Pile
 Lost Tn Flood

''I am just going to forget that l ever had any wood" was the state ment of Carl Behring, who arrived in town last week from his wood camp on the Big Cinema, where he worked all summer with the assis- tance of two men and then lost every thing by the flood. He later stated that the exact number of cords lost by him was 113. as near as he could figure it, although about two cords were left in his boom.
 Mr Behring states that he was not aware that the water was so high at the time he was putting the wood in the river with the intention of floating it down to Fairbanks as there was but a small rise in the waters of the Big Cinema at that time However, he is now aware of the fact that at the time he was putting the last of his summers cutting into the water, other men on the drift jam here were appro- pliating it for their own use. He will not claim his salvage percent age, stating that he would rather bear the loss than go to the trouble.

Steamer Shusana
 Sinks in Tolovana

According to word received in Fairbanks last week, the steamer Shusana, bound for the log jam on the Tolovana river with a cargo of about 30 tons of freight, sank a week ago last Friday, about 30 miles below the jam. The first word re ceived here concerning the incident was contained in a telegram re ceived by Abe Stein from his son. lsidole, who is purser of the gaso. line boat Dan
 All of the freight of the Shusana was saved, the wire stating that the Dan was taking it on to the log jam. It is understood that the freight was removed from the boat three warning of the predicament of the boat was given the crew when the craft struck a snag and sprung a leak.
 As far as is known, the Shusana carried no insurance. Her loss will therefore be a heavy one to her owners, the Alaska Rivers Naviga tion company However, it is pre- sumed that an attempt will be made to raise the boat after the freeZeup, although it is now stated that the water is seven feet deep on her decks where she sank

Fairbanks has raised up new opponent for this city-one who is camped on the trail of the Puge. Sound metropolis and who intends and confidently expects to trim the southern contender.
 This foe is the Panama Valley farmer. The agricultural community in the vicinity of the northern town has decided to compete with this city for the trade of Interior Alas ka in vegetables of all kinds par ticularly potatoes. In fact, mum Der of shipments have already been made to points up and down the Yukon.
 Reports indicate that the crops in the Panama region are shockingly healthy this year. Cereals are ma turing well and conditions generally are so pleas that real, old-fash toned agricultural fair is to be held the last week in this month-and it promises to be a humdinger, b'gosh Seattle Times

Riggs Will Make
 His Home Here

Upon reaching Fairbanks last week. Thomas Riggs. Jr., member of the Alaskan Engineering commission, made announcement of his plans for the coming year Among other things he states is that he is So- ing Outside about the middle of October and after a few months i'll Washington attending to the busi ness of the commission, will return North with lis family intending to make his home in Fairbanks.
 MT. Riggs states that all of his energies while at Washington dur ing the winter will be directed to- ward the prosecution of actual con struction work on the railroad in the Interior neXt summer, He feels that if Fairbanks is put into com munication with the Nenana coal fields by the railroad, that the cost of operations in the mines will be materially lessened. He predicts q great future for the quartz industry r4re when the coal takes the place of wood as fuel.
 The commissioner says that the time of the survey of the townste at Nenana is undecided. However, it is learned from other sources that the party of land office sur veyors now at Nenana surveying the coal lands has been instructed to proceed with the survey of the outer boundaries of the townsite. If is therefore supposed that the lots will be surveyed and the streets laid off when the surveyors return North in the spring.
 According to the statement o1 Mr Riggs, the sale of lots will take place immediately after the survey is finished. He has issued a warn ing to squatters to the effect that in the meantime they will hold their ground and buildings subject only to the wishes of the cOmmis- sion and that they will have to pur- chase the ground on which they make improvements the same as anyone else.
