Mules are popular farm work ami
mails in the south, southwest and in
the corn belt. Admirers claim that
the mule Is easier kept, more intel
ligent than the horse and less liable
to injury. Good mules cost as much
as or more than horses and are rath-
er scarce just now. A pair like those
pictured make a fine farm team.

FIRST FLOUR
 MILL BROUGHT
 TO INTERIOR
(Fairbanks Citizen.)

The Panama valley now boasts of flour mill, the first in the history of in- terior Alaska, if not in the history of the whole territory. On a recent boat, Magnus Nelson, one of the progress sive ranchers of the district, received his flour mill and is now prepared to make his own flour from wheat grown on his farm. The mill is but the be- ginning marking the commencement of an epoch in the history Of agricuI- tural interior of Alaska. The step from this period of the little hand four mill to the great milling estab- lishment of the future may extend ov- CT a considerable period of time, as world affairs are counted today, but at least one enthusiastic and success full farmer of the district believes it will be in the lifetime of the hardy pioneers that are now tilling the soil
 MT. Nelson intends only to make his own flour at this time, but the very fact that he is able to do it, indicates to other farmers that it will be but a short time until many of them are installed in the ranches of the district,
 Many efforts have been put forth to boom the industries of the Panama and the farmers would now like to have some financier or capitalist get around him enough people interested in the country to build one large mill that will be able to handle all the wheat raised in the country, that it may be turned to four and thus cut down the expense to the consumer.
 To many this may seem an idle dream, but to the farmers who started to grow spuds and other vegetables, when people jeered at them, and who have proven the industry a success, it is a serious proposition.

EASY TO SEE FISH FROM
 HYDROAEROPLANE.

Orvar Meyerhoffer, an aviator of San Diego, Cal, has confirmed state ments made by other persons that people in an elevated position can de- tect fish in the water much more easi- ly than persons at the surface Speak ing of his flights over the ocean in the neighborhood of San Diego, he is quoted as follows: "I have used my hydroaeroplane in deep sea tuna fish ing a number of times. By flying at an altitude Of 800 feet over the sea the location of the fish can easily be de- tected. then vo1plane to the kelp beds, where the water is invariably smooth, land and then skim out to where we sighted the fish. Dropping over a boathook to keep the plane from drifting. we get out our rod and reel and the sport Of taking the willy tuna is on.

ELECT RETURNS GLAD
 AT RESULTS
Is Confident of His Election And Grateful For The Splendid Support
 Given Him.

Hon. Chas A. Sulzer, Delegate-elect, accompanied by Mrs. Sulzer, arrived Saturday evening on the steamer Ev- ans from Anchorage where he finished the campaign that resulted in his el- ection as delegate to congress. MT. and Mrs. Sulzer were met at the boat by large number of friends and ad- mirers who received them with open arms and conducted them to the Sted. man Hotel where others visited them. Tired of the hard trip from Anchorage during which they encountered a ter rife storm, compelled Mir and Mrs. Sulzer to remain indoors yesterday in order to rest for their trip home this morning.
 Speaking of the campaign, the Dele gate said this morning that he was pleased with the result; with the gen erous support given him throughout the territory. The support he receiv- ed, he said, had exceeded his most sanguine expectation with the except ion of Ketchikan and Nome where he said he had been led to believe he would get large majority of votes. Nome he said had received him with open arms and had given him all the assurances of a big support, but for some reasons or other, at the last mo- ment the voters failed him. In Ketch- ikan, he said, where I am positive 1 have not a single enemy, I was dOubly surprised at the result, although he added T knew Ketchikan had always been strong for Wickersham, being my home town l had reason to expect better. Nevertheless, you may tell the voters that I am exceedingly great full for what they did for me and shall do all in my power to help the town in every respect"
 In reference to returns from pre- cincts unheard of yet, he said that he was confident that Marshall City would give him enough majority that even if Wickersham was to receive the majority in all the other precincts, he could not possibly win the election. AS it is he said, q carried three div isions, something that was thought i'm possible by even my most devoted friends and SI1nnorterc
 The delegate is going to his home to look after his business and will re- turn shortly, when a public reception will be rendered him.

ALUMINIUM ON SKIS LENGTHENs
 JUMP.

An increase of several yards in the jump of ski-runners is a rather surpris- ing result of the process of metallizing objects by means of a spray. In Swift zerland a coating of aluminium of the thickness of thin cardboard is being applied to the ski blades by this meth cd, and this not only adds greatly to the durability of the bearing surface but it also very materially lessens friction, and tends further to prevent caking of snow on the blades. It is the diminished friction that lengthens the jump.
