When the trappers come the captured

the same trap second time. When
the balloons are carried away all their

one occasion some big Arabian balloons

Drops OF rain vary In their size per

F airbanksan Killed
In European War

That Mike Susan, formerly mem
Der of the Union Mining company
operating several years ago on mum
Der II Goldstream. is victim of
the European war, is the word con
tanned in a letter received here q
few days ago by Peter Zernich from
Mrs. John Susan. The letter does
not state just when the former
Fairbanksan was killed. merely stat
ing that he died fighting for his
country, on one of the battlefields
of Eastern Austria.
The letter further states that
John, Victor and Joe Susan, all
brothers of the man who was killed.
are seeing service in the war The
two former are in the navy of Aus
tria while the latter is in the army
The Susan brothers made a large
amount Of money out OF their oper-
ations on Goldstream and with their
wives, went back to the old country
expecting to end their lives in
peace. That they are not doing so.
Is evidenced by the letter received
here. John Susan was at one time
interested in the Miners Home sa-
loon on Garden Island.

that the result will be kind of ami

at the same time produce profit

Mr. Purdy has an ambition of pro
ducing this new breed Of sheep ats
soon as circumstances will permit
him to do so. He believes that the
government could be interested in
the plan, and on its experiment
al farm be induced to make an ex-
pertinent that will determine the
value Of such hybrid animal
There are others who believe that
the ordinary sheep. which are now
raised in the northern part of the
United States, can be imported and
raised here with much profit. 1t
is reasoned that the extreme cold
that is felt here at times will only
tend to make the wool of better
