GASTINEAU CHANNEL
 TOWNS LEAD IN GROWTH

The importations by Juneau, Doug las and Treadwell for the year 1914 were valued at approximately $5,5OO,- OOO-a growth, in round figures, of $1, ,5OO,OOO over 1913 and of $3,5OO,OO0 in two years. Probably no section of the West has shown such a high per centage of gain in so short a time. These figures require no embellish- ment to illustrate clearly the stride with which this section of Alaska is developing. They show a purchasing power per capita that is wonderful and purchasing power is but another name for prosperity.
 Records show that the 1919 record will show another marked gain in Gastineau Channel shipping-(Alas- ka Empire Dew Number)

GOLD BULLION MINING

That the Gold Bullion Mining Go. of the Willow Creek country enjoyed a good season is the report brought out by Ronald HarraiS, manager of the mine, who passed through Sew ard on the Farragut recently on his way east. MT. Harrais reports that the Willow Creek country as whole showed up well, producing about the same amount of gold as they did last year. The Gold Bullion employed about 70 men all during the season and will continue to operate for about two weeks longer. The work at the mine has shut down but the men will be kept there a little longer getting things in shape for the spring

arrival, so the drawing was never made, but a
chill that he caught on this journey laid the foun-
dations of the illness which eventually carried
him off. The town hall Of Middelburg and its
fine tower were new buildings when he saw them.
The town hall and tower of We're were some
forty years older, having been built about 1470
by A. Keldermans the elder, though the statues
on the facade were not added till after Durer's
visit. Unfortunately the surviving pages of his
sketch-book contain no drawings Of these places.
There Is, indeed, on one page the complicated
top of some tower, unnamed, the highest member
of which is like that of We're, but the rest is
different. Durer was evidently entertained by
these fantastic steeples and several Of them ap-
pear in his sketches. In the nature of things,
however, such light wooden structures as
crowned the towers Of the low countries were
not so durable as the stone substructures. Some
have persisted by fire, others have lost their open
work decorations, others have had to be repaired
in various degrees, and repair has generally
meant simplifcation. The tower of We're, how
ever, was apparently never very elaborate, and
probably remains much as it was originally built.
Four-square and plain below, the stone portion is
completed with a clock chamber, strengthened
at the corners. Then comes a balustraded bell
chamber, with a Dubbed spire for roof to 1t, of
unusually slender and graceful proportions. Little
imitation dormer windows were a common deco
rative detail on these bulbs, but on We're spire
they are reduced to the roofs of them only. These
and the Gothic crochets higher up are the only
medieval elements surviving in this tower.
The town hall below contains a treasure GER
tainly worth seeing, for lovers of fine g%oldsmith's
work worth going to see-an admirable CLASH
fication of Sights" which We owe to the common
sense of Doctor Johnson. How useful a guide
book to Europe, confined to the things worth
going to see," would be when peace returns,
though a real peace in a once more friendly world
is hardly to be looked for in the days of any but
the young. The treasure at We're is a magnih-
cent goblet, richly enameled and chased, which
the townsfolk caused to be made for, and pre-
sented to, the Emperor Macmillan.
How they managed to have both the prestige
OF giving 1t and the solid satisfaction of keeping
1t is not recorded in any books to which | have
access. At all events, there 1t remains-a very
handsome example Of a fine period Of art in the
low countries. We're also possesses a fourteenth
century church, once in ruins but now repaired:
also some remarkable old houses, a fountain OF
1851 and other agreeable remains. On the whole
a traveller on landing in Holland might well spend
a night at Middelburg. where he can hire cycle
or motor and make In a single day a circuit OF
entertaining little places, which preserve the
charms Of old Holland more completely than the
larger and more famous cities wherein modern
life has compelled much external modernization

a miracle indeed-the ball had turned
about in air and had Disappeared!
The batsman was tanning the air.
PLAY yet again, Senior; you are the
great wonder!" cried the most promi-
nent citizen, and from that moment
the reputation of the young scientist
was made. Now he made the ball
speed like lightning until It smoked
its course. Again it swept about in a
graceful serpentine curve. How mar
velous the drops and the inshoots,
seen for the first time in that part
OF the world! The mysteries of the
spitball held the populace in thrall.
They shouted for more. When the
game was over the younger element
insisted that the Senior should teach
them all the American pitch"
Then 1t was that they drew from
him that he had been on the second
team at Columbia University and for
a time had pitched v g for the regu-
lar nine.
Messrs. Halter and Watson told how
much they desired to have snakes and
bugs. After the explorers had scored

1t all happened down in Santo Do

1t was to this land that there trav-
eled last May Clarence R. Halter, Of
the department of herpetology, and
Frank E. Watson, department Of ento-
mology, both of the American Museum
of Natural History, one in quest of
snakes, the other of bugs. They had
letters of introduction and hopeful dis
positions and a zeal for work.
And yet, somehow, the respectable
natives of Santo Domingo did not
warm to them at first as they might,
and especially the Senior Halter.
Caught Five Hundred Snakes.
He came back from there a day or
so ago laden with spoils, five hun
dred in all-the strange and solemn
solenodon and the shrinking and sight
less typhlops, dragged, unresisting,
from its lair.
1t vas a hot day, and at q certain
city there were gathered some hun
dreds of the native sons watching
eighteen men playing at an American
game-I would not go SO far as to say
that they really were playing it.
There were nine players to a side,
though, and there were bats and balls
covered with horsehide, and things
were going rather slowly on the
whole. The pitcher tossed a ball as
though it were an apple he was be-
slowing On a calf.
rs it not the great American game
of baseball?" asked a prominent citi-
zen of the Senior Halter.
1T certainly is not" answered the
Senior, who was then taking his day
off and some chances.
There came over the features of the
Santo DOMINICAN an ~incredulous smile.
He called the manager of the team
and said that the gentleman from the
States would be glad to show how
the great game was played.
Then Box Didn't Go.
Just about forty seconds after that
the Senior Halter was in the pitchers
box. First the ball trickled out from
his fingers and then turned tornado.

stand! Down on their faces went the

Their cigarette cases look just like vanity cases. You can't tell them apart

She had on her wrist what ! thought was a silver vanity case supported by
