I Tolovana Mining
 Men are Arrivals

Phil Lynch and Tom Verdier, who operated on Olive creek, in the Tolovana district, during the past summer. arrived in town during the week. They are returning to the Tolovana today with a complete out fit. and will resume prospecting on their ground.
 Lynch and Nerdier are operating on the ground on which pay in the Tolovana was first discovered. They had a great deal of trouble during the summer, on account of being unable to secure an adequate amount of water for ground sluicing pur- poses, but they will operate on a large scale next season, as they now have the overburden all clean- ed off and will scrape directly into the boxes

FRENCH CABINET OUT.

PARIS, Oct. 28.-The entire French cabinet rendered to President Poin' care it's resignation this morning. Aristide Briand, who was president of the council and minister of the interior in 1909. and has held the portfolio of vice president of the council and minister of justice in the retiring cabinet. Is likely to be called on to assume the premiership to succeed M Viviani. General Ga lieni, who was one of Joffre's asso- ciates in the rejuvenation of the French army. will probably be min ister of war The failure to make progress in the west and the ab solute failure of the allies diplo- mats to win over Bulgaria are as cribed as the causes which have led up to the resignation of the cabinet the public and the press having been insistent of late in their condem- nation.

MILLS CANNOT SUPPLY LUMBER
 FOR BUILDINGS
TOLOVANA LUMBER MILLS ARE WORKING OVERTIME
 SAYS MILL MAN.

Arriving in town from the Tolo- vana country on business trip. o. M. Newland reports that the two lumber mills located at Westfork are now unable 70 supply the demand for lumber for building purposes at Brooks For that reason he and his partners are contemplating the construction of a new mill, and MT. Newland is in town for the purpose of securing larger boiler and en zine.
 Since the trails have frozen over. those who are constructing buildings at Brooks have taken the lumber right away from the saw, so to speak A supply had previously been sawed up, but when the builders were ready for it, it melted away as nothing, and the mills have been working overtime since in an ef- fort to supply the demand. which they are entirely unable to do at the present time. MT. Newland will therefore take in the larger machin cry as early as possible, although just when it will be landed at West fork depends entirely upon the con dition of the trails.
 The mill man states that large number of loggers are kept busy continually cutting logs for the two mills. The logs are easy to get being within a mile of the mills in most instances.
 As is the case in all new camps, the lumber men are compelled to take chances with the builders or the new town That is, money being a scarce article, promises to pay Ire taken to some extent in nearly every instance. Then, too, great deal of trading is done back and forth.
 Naturally number of people ask for credit to whom it Is not given by the lumbermen Therefore, those showing the hest promise of event. ually being able to pay are the ones who get their lumber first Then the case of the other fellow is looked after

 At any rate, two gentlemen now walk the streets of Fairbanks with their countenances spoiled to some extent. OHe lOOhS Ike lie had received glancing blow from the powerful right arm of Jack John son or Jess Willard, while the face of the other resembles that of man who had met up with a fe- male of the feline variety.
 The encounter in question took place in front of the Red Cros9 Drug store Saturday afternoon be- tween Jimmie Haney, the Alaska Gl- ant, and Leroy Tozier. the Port Townsend Wonder. It lasted fo, about five minutes, as nearly as eau be learned. although there was no official timekeeper. Nor was there a referee to count time on the number of times that the Giant slipped and fell on the icy side walk The Wonder pressed the ad vantage to the best of his ability, d managed to get in three swings which, except the first, hit empty air. But at the end of that time he was Ill out of breath from trying to stand on his feet and deliver light ming punches in the direction of the Giant, who was also worn out, chiefly from trying to stand up, but who, in the meantime, had managed to get in right hook with his open hand to the face of his opponent
 As there was no referee tc the encounter, the newspaper dcision is that it was a draw.

Death Rides
 At Wheel of
 Speeding Auto
FARMER STRICKEN WHILE DRIv- ING CAR; FAMILY DID
 NOT KNOW TIT.

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept 24.-, Another desert tragedy occurred to- day when D. N. Kent, a prosper ous Ohio farmer, died at the wheel of speeding automobile near La vic, fifteen miles from Ludlow.
 It was heart failure that over took him as be sped with his family across the hot, sandy stretches. but it came so suddenly and so appar- ently painlessly that when 1t seized him, death literally rode at the wheel of the machine.
 For he still sat upright with nc relaxation of the body. while eyes remained fixed on the road ahead and hands continued their firm grasp upon the wheel.
 And where he was driving with his family, the road was so straight and the grooves in the thoroughfare were so deep that steering is quite unnecessary after an automobile is once started right on its way
 So 1t happened that the man was dead for many minutes before his family realized his condition. While his dead form still seemed in com plete control of the automobile, his family were looking about them at the desert scenery and chatting gay ly of the pleasures they expecten to enjoy at the exposition at San Francisco. toward which they were hastening.
 Then one spoke to him and re- ceived no answer. Thinking the breeze caused by the speed of the machine had prevented him from hearing, the remark was repeated in louder tone. And when there wae yet no answer. they shook him to attract his attention. while the ma chine was still speeding across the sand.
 Then, with touch, they sensed the rigidity of the body and the realization came to them of his con- dition. They stopped the machine and unclasped from the wheel the hands which were cold even in des- ert heat

Christmas In
The Farmhouse

When as child you read stories of
Christmas celebrations where the
houses were decorated with holly and
mistletoe and the people had such jolly
times putting them up, didn't you look
around your own house and wonder
how that would look if trimmed with
long to smell their spicy fragrance and
to have hand in putting them up
where you thought they would look
the best? And didn't you long to feel
that peculiar Christmas spirit that is
in the very air in cities and villages
for more than a week before Christmas
Gay itself? And then did you just
settle back and say to yourself: "Well,
it's no USE
las long as 1 live on Il farm Christ
mas must be just the same as it al
ways has been-an exchange Of gifts
and afterward an unusually big din
ner|'
I want to tell you that you are mis-
taken-that you can have just those
very same things, even to bringing in
the old time Yule log, if you are so
fortunate as to have an open fireplace
in the farmhouse.
City people pay from 80 cents to 81
for a small house Christmas tree, and
every one who can afford it buys
tree every year for his children. How
often do farmers children have trees?
say, eve haven't gifts enough to make
a pretty tree" Many people never
put gift on-simply make it a tree of
beauty for the children. Strings of
popcorn. wishbones and canes gilded,
gold stars-anything bright and shiny
hung on tree delights a chilG-a bag
of popcorn with few candies in it
tastes five times as good if it has only
once hung on a tree Even if the gift
must be underwear, shoes and things
actually needed to wear have them
come as surprises and in as "Christ-
masy" looking packages as possible.
1t is we'll to keep the Christmas spirit
III the nome.
1t seems a pity for us country people,
surrounded by these beautiful things
deemed luXuries by our city friends,
to make no use whatever of them and
to let our lives become SO common
place Christmas is not solely a day
for gift giving and receiving and eat
ing. 1T is day for doing everything in
your power to add to the JOY of the
children-a day to remember the feeble
and lonely old people-a day to think
Of the strangers and the poor. If you
haven't money to spend for gifts for
them you can give some of yourself
and of your own home Christmas
cheer There are homes that it is an
inspiration to enter because of the
Christmas spirit they breathe forth. |
trust the farm homes will not be lack
ing in Christmas beauty or Christmas
cheer-that all of them will truly
keep Christmas" - Bertha G. Mark
ham in Country Gentleman.
