NEW YEARS IN CHINA.
When All Debts Are Paid and the
 Whole Country Painted Red."

When All Debts Are Paid and the
 Whole Country Painted Red."
 New Years is the national pay day in China. All accounts must be squared up at that time. and the man who can't raise money enough to pay his debts has to go into bankruptcy. The laws are such that the creditor can enter the debtors house and take what he pleases if there is no settlement. To prevent such action families club together and make all sorts of compromises to keep up the business reputation of the clan.
 New Years is great day for the pawnbrokers. Their shops are crowded with people who want to redeem their best clothes before the new year. There are crowds, also, who want to pawn other things in order to get money to pay their debts. Pawnbrokers receive high rates of interest, in which they are protected by the government.
 The Chinese paint the whole country red, fguratively speaking, on New Years day in more senses than one. Red is the color which with them de- notes good luck and prosperity, and all the New Year cards and invitations are on paper of that color. Every child gets its New Years present wrapped in red paper, and red inscriptions are pasted over the doors of the houses.
 These inscriptions bear characters praying for good fortune, wealth and happiness, and they are posted on each side of the outer doors of the houses. New pictures of Chinese generals are put on the front doors. and the houses are-scoured and made clean.-Exchange.

It's the long way to the coal fields, It's the long way to go, Via the Guggs white elephant, The road that we all know; Through the hundred miles of storm
 belt,
 Through the fifty feet of snow; It's good road for scenery, I,ut the wrong way to go; Lots of bridges and lots of tunnels, lis the wrong way to go; Lots of glaciers and glacier streams It's the longest way I know. If Uncle buys the Guggs system It wont be long until he sees That the way to reach the coal fields Is a railroad from good old Valdez. Then, goodbye, Cordova, Goodbye, Seward town; It's long way to Matanuska. So you might as we'll sit down.

The great rivalry between A Troop,

Lieut.. William s. Martin, has been
attracting considerable attention IN
the upper cantonments. Last week in
baseball B Troop defeated A BY a
score of 8 to o, but on Saturday morn
ing A Troop was victor over B in a
very interesting mounted competition,
but only through drawing the long
straw after the score had been twice
tied and there seemed to be no other
way to award the prize except by
drawing lots. 5
The nature Of the competition was
such as to determine which of the
two troops had their horses under the
most perfect control which is now the
great aim in the training OF cavalry
mounts. Every member or both
troops took part in the competition.

The first bout was between Sidney

four two-minutes rounds. "Britisher"
Johnson was free with his swings,

pounds, was no match for him.
Clark and Frazier wanted to mix it
up for two three-m.nute rounds, and
mix it up they did. Both are skilful
boxers and kept the crowd in fren-

RECOGNITION OF FED.

I am willing to waive recognition at this time. I want to say waiving recogni- ton at the present is not with the in tention of again disturbing conditions in the district. That is the spirit want to instil in the minds of the mine here in good faith and hope for Better industrial conditions and that the lations between employer and employee will be such that they will have no objections to my intervention when l may come again.
 It was authoritatively announced to- day that President Charles F. Mover would arrive in Clifton Friday after noon. All mine property in the distrie> continues in the hands of Sheriff Cash who is confident that he can handle the situation without otside interfer- ence. It is reported that the commit tee in the event a conference is ar ranged with the mine mana gers will ask for the Miami scale which calls for a minimum of $3.5O underground.
 The general opinion is that the diff ferences will be adjusted quickly If they are not the shut down will be q long GraWn out affair working great hardship on the entire community.
