Quarantined.

In one of the little mountain towns of the south a Chautauqua meeting was held last summer for the first time The fact was advertised for some distance round the town. but the older negroes especially did not under stand what it was all about.
 Across the front of the little hotel of the village was flung banner bearing the one word "Chautauqua.
 Up to this hotel one day drove an old negro in q one horse wagon containing a few vegetables. which he hoped to sell to the proprietor. as he had done on former occasions. But when he saw the banner with its ominous word he was seized with fright and would not go into the building or even get out of his wagon. When the proprietor appeared the old fellow inquired nerv- ously. What disease is you all quar- antined for boss ?''-Youth's Compan- inn

 TRIP 10 ANCHORAGE
Steamer Admiral Farragut now Com. ing North, will Try to Reach
 Railroad Town Next Month.

SEATTLE, Oct 23.-The officials of the Admiral Steamship line, whose liner Admiral Farragut sailed We'd nesday for Southwestern Alaska ports, have announced that the Farra- gut will try to reach Anchorage next trip owing to the heavy offerings of freight for the new railroad town, and are accepting freight subject to the risk of the vessel not being able to reach her destination.
 Alaskans in Seattle who have lived for a number of years in the Cook Inlet district are divided in their opin- ion as to the possibility of the steam CT reaching Anchorage at any time after cold weather has set in. They state that heavy ice forms rapidly in the Inlet and should the steamer be caught at Anchorage while the ice is being forced against that shore by the tremendous Cook Inlet tide, that she would be destroyed as no vessel can withstand the ice when backed by the wall of water which rolls into the inlet.

SILVER FOX PEl! ]!
 SELLS FOR s2,600
Government Auction Sale at St. Louis Attracted Many Buyers and
 Bidding was Brisk.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 2S.-At the gov ernment auction sale yesterday one hundred and thirty-five thousand pelts Ire sold and the eaverage prices were Much higher than at any previ- ous sale. One silver fox pelt, which was declared by buyers to have been the best ever seen on the market for years, was sold to a New York buyer for $2,600.
 The success which attended the government sale has established the fact that St. Louis is the best fur market in the United States and effec- tually disposes of the claims of the Pacific coast cities that the govern ment sales should be held on the coast. Buyers were present from all parts of the world and the bidding was very spirited, especially for the blue fox pelts, which had been graded into three classes before being offered to buyers.

Proverbial Philosophy.

l don't know. writes correspond ent. whether the absurtlity of some of our proverbs when used as a meaps of comparison occurs to people when they quote them. For instance. "-As drunk as lord" Any one who looks into q metropolitan police court when the night charges are being dealt with will see that intemperance is not the ex- elusive privilege of peers of the realm. As dead as Queen Anne" Why Queen Anne? Why not Queen Elizabeth or Queen Boadicea? "As deaf as post. !" A post is devoid of all the five senses, not hearing only. AS cheap as dirt. ' What is the exact market value of dirt? It is not mentioned in any tradesman's catalogue.

THE MUDDY MISSOURI.
How the River Lowers the Surface of
 the Land 1t Drains.

tho Land 1t Drains.
 The Missouri is the muddiest river in the Mississippi valley. It carries more silt than any other large river in the United States except possibly the Rio Grande and the Colorado. For every square mile of country drained it car ries downstream 3S1 tons of dissolved and suspended matter each year. In other words. the river gathers annual ly from the country that 1t drains more than 123,OOO.OOO tons of silt and soluble matter, some of which 1t dis tributes over the flood plains below to form productive agricultural lands. but most of which finds it's way at last to the gulf of Mexico.
 It is by means of data of this kind that geologists compute the rate at which the lands are being eroded way. It has been shown that the Missouri river is lowering the surface of the land drained by it at the rate of foot in 6.O36 years. The surface of the United States as whole is now being worn down at the rate of 1 foot in 9.120 years.
 It has been estimated that if this erosive action of the streams of the United States could have been copcen- trated on the. isthmus of Panama 1t would have dug in seventy-three days the canal which was completed after ten years work with the most power full appliances yet devised by man.

THREE INQUIsITIvE SCOTS.
Ard How They Happened to Originate the Juts Industry.

Ard How They Happened to Originate
 the Juts Industry.
 James Logic, who is supposed tG know more about jute than any one else in America, tells in very in- tercsting way how jute came to be known to Europe and the west:
 "In 1S40, on Saturday afternoon, three Dundee flax spinners were walk ing to their beautiful residences in Broughty Ferry, about four miles east of Dundee, on the banks of the Fay. and as usual strolled along the docks. At that time there were several Clip per line sailing vessels trading with Dundee in Indian products, principally grain, linseed, etc.. and on this par. ticular Saturday one of these vessels was discharging her miscellaneous cargo, and these canny Scots observed fibre in some quantity on the dock and made inquiry as to what 1t whs.
 "They were told 1t was some Indian product that had been obtained in Bengal, and was suitable for the dun mage of ships. They examined the fibre little more carefully and all thought it would be possible to spin the fibre on their flax machinery. The result was that Monday morning they made bee line for the agents of the ship and asked what they were going to do with this waste material.
 "They got the reply. We propose dumping 1t into the river.' and when they expressed wish to experiment with it they were told they could cart it away from the dock and were vel come to it if they paid the carriage. Thus the jute industry started-for the fiber turned out to be nothing less thai, what we know commercially today as jute. "-EXchange

SUBMARINE TACTICS.
Locating the Enemy, Getting the Range
 and Makina an Attack.


 How does a submarine attack? How does it locate the vessel it wishes to torpedo and how does it proceed about the business of sending such vessel to the bottom? Here is the way the con- mander of Uncle Sam's submarine flo. tilla tells it:
 "A submarine will come to the sur face at 5000 or 5000 yards from the vessel it is attacking-far enough SC the enemy Is not supposed to see the periscope. It stays up long enough to get the enemy's course, then goes down and sets its course to intercept the en- emy's ship.
 "rThe vessel must be coming more or less toward the submarine. otherwise the submarine. with it's low submerged speed. cannot catch it. "The officers of the submarine will know the revolutions of the approach ing ship and will use the gyrocompass with which to work out it's exact posi-, 1 ton. They will know just when to come up to be within range.
 "When the submarine comes up it will show the periscope as little as pos sible, take quick aim and fire it's first torpedo. If 1t wants to remain there out of curiosity to see the effect it can But if it does not it goes right down again.
 Tt stays short time under water turns the cap bringing new torpedoes up into the tubes and then comes III for second shot if necessary. Pitts burgh Press.

Captains of launches plying on the Sound express the opinion that the friends of Jack Whalen and Ike Vest berg are needlessly worrying over their safety and are sure that no mis- hap has befallen them. They state that both Whalen and Westberg are familiar with every nook along the coast from Valdez to Ellamar and could find shelter anywhere. They are also reported as careful and not the kind of men who would reckless ly venture out in a small boat in a storm such as has been raging dur ing the past few days, outside the Narrows.

3 THE NARROW BosPoRus.
At It's ursatsst Width It Measures
 Only 9,e38 Feet.

At lts 0rsatest Width It Measures
 Only e,s3s Feet.
 The Bosporus contains few danger ous submarine rocks or shoals. The locality of these few is indicated by lighthouses or buoys. The water is only slightly tinged with salt and Is marvelously clear. The sands. glitter ing apparently near the surface. may be twenty feet below.
 sOn a map, of whatever scale. each of those familiar straits. which cleare lands and continents asunder. seems hardly more than silvery thread Yet as one sails over their famous wa ters the opposing shores on either hand sometimes appear far away. The strait of Gibraltar. which wrests Afri- ca from Europe. Is sixteen miles wide: that of Messina. forcing it's way be- tween Italy and Sicily. is from two to twelve: that of Bonifacio, which, like a blade of steel, cuts Corsica and sar- linia apart. is seven miles in width at its most contracted point: even the Dardanelles expands from over one to four.
 But the illusion as to distance creat- ed by the map Is reality as to the Bos- porus. Of Buyoukdereh. where 1t at- tains its largest breadth, its hemmed in waters broaden to only 9.838 feet. or about one and four-ffths miles. Be- tween Roumeli Hissar and Anadoli Hissar they shrink to one-sixth Of these dimensions. or to 1,641 feet From "Constantinople." by Edwin A, Grosvenor.

RAILROAD MAN PRAISES
 WORK ED.

"I never in my eXper'eEce m rail- road saw as good a roadbed as that now being constructed by the Alaskan Engineering commission orl the government railway line leading from Anchorage to the Matanuska landing. It is simply ideal! The greater part of the roadbet is conl- DOS. d of grave. of . .;st tfe right size for this purpose, the gravel beinb ob- tained from the cuts necessar. to the construction The record of achieve men in railway construction 'a tn" matter of tlule, made by the Eonl- mi.s:on, exceeds that of any ott CT no:shern railway. Actual construc- tiohEaz'k began the latter part Of May, and by the end of this month thirty-two miles of grade, which in- wolves the moving of about one mil lion cubic yards of material, will be completed. Of course, in prairie re- gions, in temperate zones, better ec- ords have been made, but ill virgin country, with the handicaps inci"ent to railway work, the record has not been reached by other construction forces"
 The above statement was made to the Pioneer by G. M. Campbell, upon his return this week from trip over the completed part of the work as far as the Matanuska landing in the com pany of Gen. Supt. O'Reilly. MT. Campbell has been engaged in rail- way construction in Canada and the United States, most of the time as a contractor, for the past fifteen years, and is qualified to speak with author ity with respect to the local project.
 Every advantage has been taken by the Commission, says MT. Camp bell, of the possibility of supplying the work from the waters of the Knik arm, thereby lessening the cost of such supplied to the station men. The men are living well on about 50 cents per day. Some of the ex- perienced timber workers under con- tract says MT. Campbell, have made as high as $S per day in getting out piling for the bridges. "To my own personal knowledge" he continued, mo station men have made less than the going wages and some that were experienced and good workers, have made as high as $6 and $S per day. fife average worker has cleared. over and above expenses, about $100 per month"
 ""Credit should be given the locat- ing engineer" said MT. Campbell, "who has located line through rough country, avoiding difficult con- struction and securing a four per cent grade against the load, with maximum curvature of six per cent, which means an inexpensive line to maintain and operate"
