 MONEY IN NORTH

Seattle, Dec. 16-Insead of go- ing to Alaska to make a grubstake and then coming outside to spend it, the modern pioneer is one who goes into the North and takes up home there, prepared to spend the rest of his days amidst plenty. This is the modern description of an Al askau adventure, according to John Noon, of Seward, who is a guest at the Seward, with Mrs. Noon, says the Seattle Times.
 "The old day of going to Alaska to get rich and then coming out side to spend it is gone," said MT. Noon. We've got as good farm land as many places in the state of Washington, and, little by lit tie, we are couvicing the cheecha- koas who come there of this fact"
 MT. Noon, who was member of the second Territorial Legislature, declared that the town of Seward is showing more evidence of pros Derity than it has for some time. considerably building is going on and taking a lot Of new work in and the railroad commission is un- dertaking a lot of new work in the matter of terminals. A new depot, which will be a Uretentious struc- lure befitting the terminus of the government railroad, will be DullI in the spring.
 MT. and Mrs. Noon will be in Se- attle for a few months, while MT. Neon concludes matters of business that called him outside.

L0T OWNERS
 ARE WORRIED

COIdoYa-So serious is the pre- dicament of prominent pool room and billiard parlor owners at An chorage as the result of arrests for gambling on their premises, that they have called Attorney L. V. Ray from Seward at a heavy eNpensa to defend them.
 Under the ruling of Secretary Lane lot owners at Anchorage are liable to forfeit ther property if li- Quor is sold thereon or gambling oc- CUTS.
 During the past two weeks num- erOus raids have been made on the pool halls, and arrests made on war rants sworn to by Assistant U. s. Attorney Munley.
 The pool halls involved in the cases are valuable property the lots running from 5000 to $7,OOO each, and the buildings and equip ment at from $5,OOO 10 $2O,OOO. In cases where there is a conviction the power lies with the secretary of the interior to cancel the title 10 the ground in cas s where he deems the owners mad knowledge of the offense. In cases where lots were confiscated following the sale of liquor it was held that the secretary might cancel title if he saw fit, regardless Of circumstances, and there is no appeal from his de- cision.
 There have been strong hints of some sort of graft in connection with the gambling in Anchorage in recent issues of the Anchorage Times, but the officials involved in the report or the manner in which they grafted was not set forth.

PLACE YOUR
 COSTUMES

All sails are set for the big an- nual masquerade ball at the White Pass Athletic club Saturday night
 Committees are today making ar rangements for the prizes which will be offered as an inducement for go- ing in costume, and as a novel idea is to govern the awards this year, it is believed that greater interest will be taken in preparng for the event than for several years past. years past.
 It is the intention of the com mittee of arrangements to digress considerably this year from pre- cedents established in former years, and put into effect several new stunts in the way of entertainment. The restrictions will be few, and the latitude great, so it will be \ good idea to get busy and plan your costume SO as to be one of the lucky ones.
 There will be ten and possibly more prizes this year, the commit tee up to date having positively decided on giving first and sec ond door prize, prize for the best dressed gent, the best dressed la dy, best sustained character, lady and gent, most comical gent, most comical lady, first and second priz- es for the best group.

Tn perhaps tae most daring sport Of all-stcer bHl3Ga@2ilg--is revealed a feat you nut sec t1 believe. 4 man jumps from the back oa Us running horse as he uecratcs a Texas long, horn. If lis judgment is good he seiZes the stilctto-IiEe horns and drags the steer to a siands,:iI. Then begins a struggle worthy of gladiator as the man, using the horns as levers, bends and strains every muscle to throw the great beast hy twisting it's neck. If he succeeds in this the classics of the game require him to hold the steers upper lip in his teeth, at the same time raising his hands for the count Of four seconds; hence the term steer bull logging" This sport is "bSolu,r," harm less in every respect to the four leg ged animal, but his two legged con- petitOr must use cuusummatc skill, strength and nerve to protect himself and conquer his antagonist.-Charlcs W.
