ACTIVITIES AT THE NEW
 CAMP ON TOLSTOI RIVER

Iditarod Pioneer, April % - The exodus to the Tolstoi region has con tinued during the past week, and many outfits have been transported over the rough trails by dog teams and horses. The fall in the temper ature has helped matters consider ably, for while there is practically no snow, loads can be dragged over the frozen ground with some degree of success. There is at present no at tempt to transport extensive supplies, the main object being to have on the ground sufficient to last until the opening of navigation
 Should the present weather con tinue there is no doubt that numerous shafts will be bedrocked before the breakup occurs, and should the re- suits be as are confidently anticipat- ed, nothing can prevent a stampede of great proportions when the steam boats begin to operate The various creeks are all staked now, and there is very little reason for a continuation of the rush to the new discoveries. Nevertheless many from distant parts have arrived on the scene, according to recent arrivals.
 Because of the fact that practically all of the men who st2ked ground in the new district were compelled to return to IditarOd, Ophir, Cripple and elsewhere for supplies with which to prosecute work, there has been little to report in the way of new develop ments. All evinced a desire to rush supplies to the scene prior to the breakup. Therefore there has been little new work as yet From now on it may be expected that work will progress in all parts of the district. Rumors have been rife, as is usually the case in such instances, and lurid tales of new pay pay on new creeks, etc, have been poured into the ears of willing listeners. Sifted down, how ever, these seem to have been largely the result of imaginative minds work ing over time.
 It is frequently remarked by old timers that as yet there is no excuse for excitement. So far the district has shown up well, but not sufficient work has been done to say authOri- tatively that a paystreak will be lined up. The indications are excellent; in fact it is universally agreed that no mining district discovered in recent years, not even the famous Fairbanks district, has shown up so well for the amount of work dore. But it might be we'll to warn the public, and especi- ally those expecting to come from the Outside, that the future of the new camp is by no means assured. Ex- tensive plans should not be entered into until work now being undertaken has progressed sufficiently to give an idea of the extent Of the pay.

SEWARD CITY TO
 BE BEAUTY SPOT
FLOWERS TO FLOURISH AND CIVIC FAIR WILL BE RIOT
 OF LONELINESS.

The great Civic Fair of Seward will be held in the last week of August, will last three days and will be the elimination of the beautifying campaign of the ladies of the city for this year and the incentive to keep up the good work in the years to come. The delegates appointed from the fraternal orders and public bodies will meet with the ladies next week when important details will be entered into. In the meantime the members of the Women's Club have seen to it that flowers and vegetables are being nur- tured in readiness. Never before in the history of the city have so many garden spots been cultivated and never before was the sale for flower and vegetable seeds so exten- sive. At the corner garden plot near the Schaleben residence twenty beds have been laid out and each of twenty children has received a plot in which to do his or her own gardening. Some of the children have chosen to use their skill on vegetables, some on flowers and some on both. Judge Hildreth and Mrs. Green have been assiduous in their attentions to this plot and to them much credit is due Plots are given to children who could not garden at home. The ladies are most desirous of having the play grounds near the city hall cleared of stumps before school vacation begins so that the children might have the full benefit. Window boxes are being used now at the schools for the grow ing of flowers that will be transplant ed in the playground. The fair will probably be held in A. B. Hall and is certain to be a most delightful and in structive one.

LONG BEACH, July 81, 1916. Never
were styles more frivolous and ornate
than this year, when the "Sport" note
dominates everything and sweaters are
prize possession in every smart ward
robe.
Formerly the feature of clothes built
for the open was their tailored design
and finish, now we have added to this
colorings that Guido the blossoms by the
wayside, and elaboration of detail that
would seem in place only in dance
trock. Yet the effect is charming, and
never did the crowd that assemblies here
appear more attractive. The beach
sWarms with bathing suits in every color
of the rainbow, or if some tame hue is
selected it is made with gay pipings of
brilliant color and topped by headgear
that must make the lnermaids envious.
Rubber has been made to assume every
color of the rainbow, and then fashioned
in caps and hats that copy every shape
known and few besides. Rubber flow
ers adorn these or ornament the belt or
corsage, and gay pagoda parasols are
used for their effectiveness in the lounge
on the sand before or after the bath.
Castle House.
Castle House is popular as ever for the

''There has been great change in the
outlook for apples during the past three
years in New England The production

Profitable Hay Crops in New England.
Despite the late spring and the heavy
rainfall throughout the New England
States, indications are that the season
of 1916 is going to be very profitable
one for the farmers. Wilfred Wheeler,
secretary of the Massachusetts Board of
Agriculture, predicts that the hay crop
will be almost onefourth larger than the
record crop of 1909. Pastures have been
excellent, dairying has been profitable,
prices for farm products are good and
farmers are gradually getting larger
shares of the selling prices for their pro-
ducts through a better understanding of
marketing conditions. The work of the
farm bureaus in helping the farmers and
introducing better methods is having an
effect throughout New England. Bet
ter methods of handling the soils and
feeding the crops are making up for the
adverse weather conditions and insuring
larger yields than would be obtained
otherwise.
More Sheep in New England.
Charles Stone, farm superintendent of
New Hampshire State College, says that
sheep raising is profitable now in New
Hampshire and that he has the yields
and figures to prove the statement.
Many New Hampshire farmers are con-
sidering taking up the raising Of gen.
eral purpose sheep to solve the problem
of depleted dairy pastures. Agricultural
Commissioner A. L. Folker has also in
vestigated the sheep raising industry and
is urging to return to it on the hill
farms of the State. The New Hamp-
shire Sheep Breeders Association is Of

Feed Up Your Fields-Increase Your Yields.

The farmer easily can see that feeding he

Help out your field, bring up your yields and
watch your profits mount.
And when you see just how 1t pays in larger

Next year you'll feed your other crops and

For farming is game in which the Golden
Rule applies,
You feed your crops and they feed you; so.
therefore, fertilize.

WHAT ONE VOTE MAY DO.

The late Honorable Lyndon Oak of
Garland told me that at one time when
he was a member of the Legislature
Hannibal Hamlin was speaker of the
House. MIR. Hamlin loved a joke, and
on one occasion when business was slack
he sent page to tell member who was
very particular about his personal ap-
pearance that one spear of hair on his
head was on the wrong side of the part.
The member evidently did not like a
joke, at least not on himself, and when
the Legislature voted for United States
senator he voted against Mr.. Hamlin,
who was defeated by one vote.
AN old line Democrat, who was so par
tisan that he was called ''copperhead"
during the Civil war, told me with great
satisfaction that when two brothers, one
a Democrat and the other Republican,
were candidates for representative to
the Legislature in the late '70s he voted
for the Republican because he considered
him the better man for the place, and as
his candidate was elected by one vote he
felt that his vote did it.-PIscataquis OBJ

These cases were mentioned by the
Observer Ito impress on the Republi-
cans of Piscataquis county the import
ance of giving Mr.. Guernsey good vote
in the primary election of July Oath, "
but they have general application and
should be borne in mind at the election
next September. The stay-at-home vote
at every election is larger than it should
be, and often defeats the will of the
people.

was the establishing of distributing
house of the Farmers Union in Portland.
Mrs. J. M. Strout is president of the

Moore is chairman of the cooperation
committee. The distributing house in
Portland will cost from $4,000 to 5000,
and the plan is to issue 1000 shares of

will be made with the Maine Central
railroad for location near the main
tracks of the freight station.
Mr.. Embree reports that the local
Farmers Unions in various localities are
acquiring buildings that are we'll located

for the distribution of grain, feed and
other supplies. Among cities and towns
thus designated, where negotiations are
pleted, are Biddeford, Eliot, Westbrook,
Yarmouth, Maranacook, Freeport, Rock

New Gloucester and Turner. In Bidde-
ford a building, formerly the old freight
depot, has been leased; in Eliot house
is being built; at Maranacook part of the
old station which had been used by salt
company is being fitted up as grain
and flour store, and at White Rock one
of the local dealers has sold out to the

commencing at the bottom of the ladder
and ascending step by step to the climax
of his profession with no mar or stain of
character. This life of Capt. Curtis
should so inspire US to live lives of use
| fulness that when the summons comes
| to US we may answer with an earthly
record of good service.

here by auto Saturday afternoon, July
22nd, who were making a most interest
ing trip. They were from the far Cali
fornia coast, two men with their wives,
and were bound for Nova Scotia. They
were using Ford car and carried big
load of camping paraphenalia and were
making the entire trip Gypsy style, pitch

most of their meals on camp stove.
though occasionally for a change they
would stop at a restaurant. They had
slept in their tent every night since they
started They left there June 5th and
by the route which they came had regis
tered 4, 500 miles. They plan to return
by auto and arrive back home about Octo-

Bank Employs AgricuItnrist.

George c. Gill, president of the Hol-
yoke National Bank, employs an agricul-
turist to visit the farmers, find out the
value of their property and arrange for
loans to provide cash for the purchase of
tools, farm machinery and fertilizers.
The bank is doing extensive work among
the Polish farmers of the Connecticut
valley, and finds that the services of an
experienced agriculturist to work with
the farmersis mutually beneficial. The
Holyoke National bank is one of the
leaders in cooperative work, and their
success has led many other banks
throughout the Uuited States to take up
similar methods in being of service to
the farmers in their communities.

pale flesh to deep orchid is used and never
before has there been such showing of
pink lingerie.
Organdie, volles and taffetas in pink
and white check or peppermint candy
stripes, all contribute their share to
swell the pink note. Foulards, especially
those with big polka dots, are very well
worn, and with or without sport rigs,
nearly all the younger set are wearing

are set with Opaque stones of large size
