MAN PREFERS ARCTIC CIRCLE
 TO ANYTHING IFy SOUTHLAND

Just returned from q two months visit to trading posts at kotzebue, Shungnak and Selawlk, north of Nome and inside the Arc lie circle, E. E, Patterson of Cashmere is in Seattle on his way home to his apple or chard, says the Seattle Post tnteIigencer Mir, Patterson, with Thomas Berryman, owns the three posts, with Mr Berryman re nlAlning Inside to supervise and Mir. Patter- son looking after the buying of supplies Outside
 In addition to his posts in the North. Mr. Patterson has large fruit ranch, and as he has been away all summer, is anxious to get back and see how the crop came out Mr. Patterson reports business slow in the North, but as good as could be expected The fur catch, he says, is much less than normal, on account of the low prices not tempting the natives to trap.
 "The natives are loath to trap, with prices low, and prefer to stay around their villages and drink seal oil and take it easy" he said. As an example of the fur situation, last sea son we got five silver fox skins, but this sea, son secured but one which sold in Nome before coming South" Mir Patterson's part ner has not been Outside in twenty years. T tried to bring Berryman down with me this time, so he could see the exposition but there was nothing doing" he said. "He prefers the Arctic circle to anything the Southland has to offer" According to MT Patterson, mining is active at Shungnak and at Squirrel river, with a good deal of new country being developed, An extra stormy summer has been one of the note worthy features of the season this year"

IDlTARODERS ENJOY TRIP

A letter from Ray Clark, who left Dike- man for the Outside on the last trip of the Washburn, dated "On board Seattle No, 3, Sept. 27," says: We arrived at Holy Cross on the 23d, stayed one night, got on this boat and went up the Yukon to Kaltag, and there met the Delta. We are now bound down for St Michael. The Wash burn took thirty passengers and we have thirtyt two, the balance of the Iditarod bunch on this boat. Everyone Is having a good time"
 From other letters received it is believed that those passengers who left here on September IA did not get away from Michael before the first of October, and it is likely that those who left here on the 21st caught the same ocean steamship as those who left week earlier

FATE.

Two shall be born, the whole wild,
world apart,
And speak in different tongues anc
have no thought
Each of the others being and have
no heed.
And these DER unknown seas, to un-
known lands,
Shall cross, escaping wreck, defying
death;
And all unconsciously shape every
act
And bend each wandering step to this
one end
That one day out of darkness they
shall meet
And read life's meaning in each others
eyes.
And two shall walk some narrow way
of life
So nearly side by side that should
one turn
Even so little space to left or right,
They needs must stand acknowledged,
face to face.
And yet while wistful eyes that never
meet
And cropping hands that never clasp
and lips
Calling in vain to ears that never hear,
They seek each other all their weary |
days
And die unsatisfed-and this is Fate.

Honoring Charming Visitor.

All OF society was active yesterday
with round OF pretty parties that
meant continuous engagements. In the
morning Mrs. Geo. Dennis opened the
doors of her hospitable home to the
girls OF the younger set to have them
meet her lovely guest, Miss Marie Sed-
berry, of Union City, Tenn. Through
out the morning Miss Sedberry was the
recipiento of much admiration, she look
ing extremely lovely in an exquisite
white frock with touches of yellow.
Her outfit was beautifully in keeping
with all the decorations, white and vel
low roses being lavishly used to define
the color plan.
There was not dull moment the
whole morning through. Mrs. Arthur
Rood assisted Mrs. Dennis in entertain
ing and introduced number OF highly
interesting contests. A particularly
clever one was the making of various
and sundry animals with chewing gum.
In this Miss Rebecca Scarborough was
most proficient and her reward was a
beautiful yellow rose.
The dining room was indescribably
beautiful, white and yellow being used
in every available space. The center
ornament was fashioned OF the yellow
and white roses placed on an elaborate
centerpiece Of crochet over yellow. To
vie in beauty with the surroundings
were two pretty maidens, Misses Mar
garet Rood and Bessie Meek, dressed
IN harmony with the decorations. They
served the guests to delicious tea and
sandwiches and provided them with
lainty souvenir bows OF yellow ribbon.
Those so charmed to meet Miss Sed-
berry were Misses Erma Curry, Celia
Terry, Carrie Bufkin, Genevieve Dor
ey, Rebecca Scarborough, Marguerite

HARD PROBLEMS.

1t is now conceded that the problem
of land slides at the Panama canal is
one that yet remains to be solved. For
three months the canal has been out
of commission, due to the last big land
Slide which completely choked the
channel, and although they have sue
ceeded in working through this OBJ
struction. Colonel Goethals hesitate1
to make a prediction as to when navi-
cation through the cut may be resum-
ed. This is because it is impossible
to calculate the permanency of the
work already finished. 1t is easy
enough for the engineers to accurate
ly estimate the time required to re-
move a known quantity of earth from
the canal channel, but experience has
shown that further slides and shifting
of the soft earth may occur at any
time. so that a portion of the work
may have to be done all over.
Recognizing the Importance of this
problem the government has called in
to consultation number of prominent
scientific experts, who are to make a
further investigation and study of
conditions along the canal and offer
suggestions for permanently correct
ing the trouble which has been exper-
fenced through land slides. 1t is no
easy problem that these men will
tackle, but there is every reason to be-
lieve they will find remedy for the
difficulty under discussion. Problems
as great, or greater, have been faced
from the commencement of the canal
enterprise, and one by one they have
been mastered in a satisfactory man.
ner. The problem of land slides will
no doubt be solved in a similar way,
and thereafter traffic through the ca
nal very likely will suffer no further
disturbance from this cause.
During the short time the canal was
in operation the convenience and ad-
vantages of this new waterway be-
came so clearly apparent that the tenn
porary suspension of this route is felt
as a genuine hardship by ship owners
and shippers having occasion to use the
shorter route between the Atlantic
and the Pacific. Not only has it eaus-
ell irksome delay in the delivery of
eonsignments. but it has put an addi-
tionsl expense on shippers and trans

WARNING FROM BRITAIN.

Those American statesmen who pro-
fess to believe that there is no danger
of the dumping of cheap products in
this country after the close OF the
European war would do well to pom
der upon a word of warning which
has been uttered by the London Morn
ing Post to the people of Great Brit
ain. At time when the discussion
of domestic problems is discouraged
by the government, the Post feels i'm
pelled ito say:
"Military victory is still far away;
but even military victory will not
save this nation if it is won by Others
and not by ourselves and if it is ac-
companied by commercial defeat. We
understand that those German indus
tries which rely on the export trade
are at present time producing, not SO
much for export, as for dumping af-
ter the war. The state is at present
subsidizin@ these German industries
for the express purpose of accumulat-
ing reserves which will be used for
deluging our markets with cheap
goods when the war is over. How are
we going to meet this menace?
"This country must have nation
al protective tariff if it is to survive
the fierce commercial conflict which is
sure to follow this war. We may be
told that even to mention this sub
iect is what is called breach of the
party truce If it has come to this,
that the party truce is to prevent this
country from adopting in time a poll
cy necessary to its salvation, then the
party truce would be rather a source
of peril than of safety. But we pre-
fer to believe that this war has rais-
ed the question of imperial union and
trade protectiop out of the realm of
party politics and placed it among the
questions of national urgency. which
are to be settled without reference to
party"

FAIR THAT PAID.

1t is a matter of satisfaction to the
American people generally, and to the
people of the Pacific northwest partic-
plarlv, to know that the great San
Francisco exposition "more than paid
its way" 1t is known there will be
a comfortable surplus-perhaps al
most a million dollars-which is GER
tainly a record to be proud of, and
especially as most of the modern
worlds fairs have had different ex-
perienee. In fact, no worlds fan
since the pioneer event of this kind
has turned out so fortunately in a f.
nancial way. The first worlds fair
was held in London, in 1851, and al
though It cost less than a million dol
lars it took in S2.5OO,00O and left a
surplus of S930,OOO,
So-called worlds fairs grew swift
ly in size and cost after that time
until that of Paris, in 1873, cost the
French government alone S5,OOO,OOO
although it was estimated to have
welded s15,OO0,000 in increased du.
ties in a few years. OF course, all
the European fairs have had the ad.
vantage Of a larger and denser pop
ulation to draw from. That Of Paris
in 1889, costing Sl1,OO0,0OO, was seen
by S2.350.00O persons; that of St
a.ouis in 1904 by only le.694OOO

though it cost all told $42, ,00O,O 900. The
Centennial in Philadelphia had l3,-
10000 visitors. Away on the Pacific
slope, San Francisco could hardly
hope in this respect to- surpass the
European records.
Not a few of the worlds fairs have
been hit by genuine misfortune. For
instance. the fair which was held IN
London in 1862 was spoiled by the
death of the prince consort. Cholera
wrecked that of Vienna in 1873; the
aftermath of panic cost Philadelphia
heavily, as the 1898 panic penalized
Chicago. For a time the Panama-Pa-
cific bade fair to be ruined by the
war, but wiser counsels made 1t a
more strictly American affair and
turned it from wreck into a tri-
umph.
Since the first worlds fair, up to
that of this year, no enterprise OF this
kind has commenced to pay for itself
except indirectly by promoting trade
Even surplus of million dollars, II
realized in the final accounting, will
not look very large against the near
lv $16,O00,000 subscribed in San Fran
cisco by the city, county and state
and by individuals, to say nothing OF
the contribution of the federal govern
ment. The total cost of construction
alone runs close to $2O,000,000

UNITED WE STAND.

ga word to friends" is the caption
of an article in the November issue
of Mr.. Bryan's "Commoner. +" Its
first sentence reads thus: "The re-
suits of elections held in several
States November second indicate that
the republicans will be united in
1916" This solemn warning is fol-
lowed by an appeal for subscriptions
to the "Commoner. The rest OF the
issue of the paper is largely filled
with signed articles by Bryan and
others opposing the presidents plan
for preparedness. Which leads us to
remark that reading Of the "Com-

will be divided in 1916.
