 During the past summer wo- man came to Fairbanks from the oulSLON oiiS iiiahy II iiSANs' in Fairbanks but shortly after her arrival here she went to the creek to work Naturally she "stormed the hearts" of number of the men she met
 One in particular fell for her, according to the story told She agreed to marry him. They came to town shortly after cold weather set in, and, as she was his proSpec- tive bride Gin his opinion) he bought her new fur coat, paying some thing like s16O for it. A date for the wedding had not been set, for various reasons.
 The man returned to his work on the creeks, leaving the woman in town for time. Shortly after ward, she too, went to the creeks Immediately after her return the man perceived decided "chilli- ness" in her manner toward him. In fact he immediately decided that he was in need of fur coat, so chilly was the weather in that i'm mediate vicinity.
 The woman had not taken her new coat to the creek with her, having left it with a friend in town. The man made this discovery in a more or less stormy conversation with her, in which she broke off their engagement.
 Shortly thereafter the man him self made a trip to town. He went to the home of the mutual friend of the couple and stated that he had been sent to get the coat. Short ly thereafter a telephone converse tion ensued, and the woman on the creek found out that as far as she was concerned, her fur coat was no more.
 Since that time the man in the case has consistently refused to re turn the fur coat to the woman under any circumstances. He has learned his lesson.
 That is the first chapter in z story of Love and Fur Coats"

 ORDER OF DAY
 IN NEW CAMP
DEVELOPMENT OF TOLOVANA IS ONLY A MATTER
 OF DAYS NOW

Recent arrivals in town from th1 | Tolovana country bring word that
 prospecting on Livengood and Mike
 Hess creeks and all of their tribu-
 taries is now going on full blast.
 The construction of suitable quar-
 ters for winter was the first order
 of business among the prospectors,
 but most of that work has now been
 done, and they are able to turn
 their attention to actual mining
 and getting in their winter sup plies.
 No reports of new finds have been
 received in Fairbanks for several
 weeks That fact, however. is nc ! indication that the streak is not
 there, for the reason that bat few
 prospectors have been sinking holes. 1 Until within the past week the | trails all over the country have l been bare of snow and therefore transportation of supplies has been l tied up to great extent Now,
 however, enough snow has fallen t.
 make the roads exceptionally good and it is therefore expected that
 movements of big machinery will bo
 started shortly
 As yet there are very few plants of any size in the entire Tolovana district A great many of the pros pectors, however, are equipped with
 prospecting boilers, and by give and take arrangement they help each other in sinking their shafts,
 either "necking" the boilers around
 or hauling them with dogs or horses. Then there are many men who have staked ground who cannot af-
 ford to do more than represent it.
 That fact in itself is sufficient to
 hold prospecting back
 It is understood that Mike Hess and it's tributaries are practically all staked. Livengood creek is also
 staked wherever there is the bar possibility of pay being located. In fact # is stated that on the latter
 stream it is now practically impos sible to secure a lease on anything
 like reasonable terms, so sure are the owners of the ground that they
 have a stake in sight.
 HUDSON BOOSTS.
 Teddy and James Hudson, two of
 the original discoverers of pay in the Tolovana district. are among the more recent arrivals in the city They came in on a business trip, intending to start on the return trip to the Tolovana tomorrow. Asked concerning the present out
 look in the new camp, Teddy Hud
 son stated Saturday that it is bet , ter than ever. The prospectors who
 have been working during the fall are not saying much concerning their
 finds, those who are doing the dig gng being of the "close mouthed"
 kind. However it is known that several instances, while other holes
 put to bedrock show good prospects H. l. Miller is continuing hia
 prospecting on No. ' above, or Mike Hess creek. It is stated that he has found good pay, but the

 The Commercial club will a'sC endeavor to ascertain, to certain extent, who is sending various things Outside The members of the eX- ecutive board will then make an effort to get said persons to send out by parcels post, which will, in a measure, bring up the sale oI stamps at the postof1ice and will have that much effect toward rais ing the classification of the post office
 Postmaster Deal states that there is a considerable increase in the revenues of the present fiscal year as compared with the receipts for the same period last year. He eX presses himself as well pleased with that fact and with the effort 10 get the office back into the secono class now being made by the exec utive board of the Commercial club

of equalization in the early part of the coming month. The law states that the levy cannot be more than two per cent, and it is practically one and one half per cent The latter has been the prevailing rate of taxation here for years.
 The present city council has dJ,e great deal during it's administra- tion toward the reducing of the city's expenses. a strict retrench- ment policy having been adopted when the council went into of flee One of the most recent re trenchments was the purchase of city meter, to which all of the lights of the city are connected
 It WAS stated at the last meeting of the city council that the meter reading for the month of October showed an expenditure for light of only $13S. as against the former flat rate Of S450 per month.

VALUE OF A CHILD'S GIFTS
Those Made With Their Own Hands
Teach Good Lessons and
Give Inspiration.

If we stop to think about our
Christmas giving we realize that a
gift means more to the giYer than it
does to him who receives If It Is
given in the proper spirit the donor
finds out to the full that it is really
more blessed to give than to re-
ceive." a fact that is lost sight of in
an age of the commercial spirit.
With children there is a great edu-
cative value in their present giving
if it is encouraged to be really their
own giving. If the mother, however,
simply prepares some little remem-
brance, and says Mary, this is your
Christmas present to Aunt Ellen" the
gift has no meaning in the thoughts
of the young giver. And not only
has it no meaning, but lit becomes
actually harmful for the reason it pre-
sents the idea to the child that the
gift without the giyer is really gift.
And the child has put no thought or
self sacrifice into the giving of that
present.
On the other hand, IL the child be
given pocket money which it may con-
slider it's very own, or, better still, IL
1t is enabled to earn pocket money and
is then encouraged to set aside por-
ton of its very own money for pres
ent making the idea of true giving is
acquired. The. sacrifice, the fore
thought, the love necessary to. make a
gift real gift are there.
The homemade gifts of children
have many valuable lessons 30 teach
the young givers. Many lessons lin
sewing, raffia, bead-work or painting
may be given under the guise of MAX
| ing a gift. In one family. where the
elder sister had never made gifts,
and really never learned to sew we'll
| until she was eighteen years of age,
the younger sister, a girl of ten, in
| spired by the example of a small
| friend, wished to make birthday gifts
/ for her family. Once she asked her
mother to teach her how to crochet;
another time to scallop, and before
she was twelve years old she had be-
come as proficient little seamstress
as one would want to see.
Thus practical lessons are learned,
| while the child is inspired with the
| idea that Not what we give, but
what we share: the gift without the
giver is bare"
