We shouted for Peter, and ran to
the nearest stone wall, Juggling back
some fat stones. which we placed d.

the bank and watched the water rise,
I shoveled some of the earth removed
from the basin into the now abandoned
temporary channel and packed 1t down.
"Say, we can have fish in here"
cried Peter. who was also watching
the water rise.
"You can have a four-legged fish,"

the bank with a gleeful bark and went

Then we climbed the orchard slope for
dinner. Midway we looked back.
There glistened our pool, twenty-foot

flower beds all askew about it, the
ragged weeds and bushes pressing
them close, and beyond it only the

It is adapted by nature to it's habitat, being white. and as it inhabits a country near the snow line, where tho snow lies much Of the year. it is well blended in color with its surroundings. Another of the northern species is the Ovis Fannini, or Fannin's sheep. which has gray sides almost like a saddle blanket thrown over the animal and dropping at the sides. These are found in almost the same localities as the white species. and in some of the same regions is found the Ovis Stonci, or the black species known as Stones sheep. The kc- mai Peninsula was formerly the fin est hunting ground for sheep, but recent years has decimated their numbers there and they are now most plentiful in the high mountains about Mount Mckinley.
 The moose, the greatest of the deer kind in the world, is plentiful over the greater part of the interior. and on the coast, in the KCnai Pen insula where the finest specimens are found. Heads have been taken with horns spreading 7Sha inches.

THE TENDENCY of mankind to
 organize-to establish clubs or
 branches of lodges. already in existence - has been as pronounced in Alaska perhaps. as in any other part of the world. Wherever & con- munity has grown to any size at all, there will be found from one to half a dozen fraternal orders. The habit in Alaska towns has become almost chronic. Tn Juneau, the following lodges maintain chapters and con- duct regular meetings: Knights of Columbus. Archbishop Seghers Coun- ell No. 176O; Benevolent Patrons of Elks. Lodge No. 420; Loyal Order of Moose, Juneau Lodge No. TOO; Arc tic Brotherhood, Juneau Camp 32; Knights of Pythias; and Persever- ance Rebekah Lodge No. 2, a branch of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Besides these fraternities, the Ancient and Accepted Scottish rite of Free Masonry. Southern Ma sonic Jurisdiction, is represented by the following lodges of the order: Alaska Consistory, No. l; Alaska Council. Knights of Kadosh; No. T.; Alaska Chapter Rose Croix, No. l.; Alaska Lodge of Perfection, No. l.; Southern Shrine Club; Mount Juneau Lodge, No. 147, A. F. and A. NJ; Ju. neau Chapter No. 7,-Order of the Eastern Star.
 Of these lodges, the Elks, Moose, Arctic Brotherhood and Odd Fellows maintain regular club houses where they conduct their business meet. ings and carry on their social en. tertainments. Arrangements for the use of these halls Is also made by the less fortunate lodges which do not maintain clubs in the city.
 The Arctic Brotherhood building, completed nearly a year ago, is the newest one of its kind along Cas- tineau Channel and the only club in Juneau which affords the privi- leges of a gymnasium and natator-

WOOD PULP

The United States imported during the 12 months ending June 30. 1915. 5S7,922 tons of wood pulp for the manufacture of paper, of the val ue of $19,SS1,l1l. Also 9S5.6S6 cords of pulp wood valued at $6,572, ,S39 a total of $26,453,95O.
 In Alaska there has been set apart a forect reserve covering 41,- 100000 acres. largely composed of pulp timber, and fully ripe for cut ting. Why not utilize our own pulp woods and keep over twcn.y-six mil lion dollars in cur own country? This would create an industry rival ing the salmon fishery in Alaska, and the ripe timber needs to be cut to make room for younger trees.
 The wood pulp comes from coun- tries as follows:

 The meteorological records kept at Juneau began in 1881. and it is not probable that 15 degrees below has ever been exceeded. as. up to 1913. the lowest given is 10 degrees be- low. The highest temperature re- corded from 1913 to 1915. inclusive, was S9 degrees during 1915. Prev ious to that time the record was SS degrees. During that period there was but one thunder storm, and that is noted in the records as an unusu- .al occurrence, for thunder storms and violent electrical disturbances are almost unknown along the coast
