chickens done gifts 'em. boss"
 We may sit here or kneel. as the occasion demands. and ask in our hearts that the government in the greatness of its heart will send us the mail Of course We can't go out and get 1t. but we can assist the post office department here by loading the department at Washington up to the guards withlett CTS. If We prod them and keep prodding them they will dis cover that we are in earnest.
 This is not a job that We can put off on our next door neighbor like we can mending the fence or taking care of the chickens; each one has to register his own kick. Then again it isn't wise to stop with one letter, there should be follow up letter in few weeks time. Fairbanks needs the mail all of the time and if we assist the strenuous efforts of the To- cal officials we are very likely to get it Be good fellow and speak about the Nenana mail when you write.

PIONEERS ARE TAKING HAND IN
 MAIL TROUBLE
LOCAL IGLOO WIRES DEPART MENT ASKING FOR ALL THE
 MAIL ALL THE TIME.

All the mail all the time" has been adopted as one of the slogans of the local Igloo of Pioneers. At least, that much is to be inferred from telegram sent yesterday afternoon by Henry T. Ray, secretary of the Igloo to the postoftice department Cues toned in regard to the telegram, Mr. Ray would say nothing more than that the telegram was about the mail and that he was sending it for the Pio- neers. Therefore, that the Pioneers have decided to inaugurate a quiet lit tie campaign of their own for a better winter mail service between Fair banks and the coast, is also to be in formed.
 As far as can be learned, there is nothing new in the mail situation. The matter of whether or not Fair banks will get the extra 2,000-pound per month service is still in abeyance, as is the matter of getting an improv- ed mail service this winter between Fairbanks and Nenana.

BIDS ARE WANTED.

T. H Deal, of the local postoftlce. can do very little more about getting the mail over the trail until he re- ceives bids for bringing the amount, 1000 pounds per month, from Chitina to Fairbanks. Now is the time to do some local hustling if we desire all the mail If you are a teamster and eX- pect 10 freight over the trail this win ter submit bid so that Mir Deal will have something to work upon. If you prefer. telegraph your bid to Washing ton. It is generally the rule with the department to ask for no bonds on emergency contracts, so there may be no bonds required on this contract.
 If you are not freighter, but know one. encourage him to make bid. There are not many teams in Fair banks at the present time, and every one should make bid. We must do our share at this end of the trail if we expect Washington to do hers. Let Us get together and shove this thing through, as Alaskans are accustomed to do anything they start out to ac- complish.

MINING GROUND
 IN L|VEHCCOD
 CHANGES HANDS
ST. GEORGE & cATHcART MAKE PURCHASE OF INTERESTS
 C. E. KEEN.

St George X Cathcart yesterday in creased their mining interests in the Tolovana country when they made the purchase of the Livengood creek in terests of Crosby E. Keen. All of the interests which changed hands are on the upper end of Livengood creek, some of them being on the paystreak as it has been mapped out to date. Others are still wildcats" but are To- cated in promising places, should further development work show that pay exists on the upper end of the creek.
 The interests in the Sunnyside and Aetna claims are probably the best, as two lays, those of Lon Doggett and of Altman & Zuber, are being worked on those pieces of ground at present An interest in the Triangle fraction lying between the Sunnyside and the Sunny bench, is also a very promising piece of property. Other property included in the transfer are the interests of Keen in the Snowbird and Mint claims, on which prospecting is now being done; the Black Jack claim; the Margaret association and the Bear Cat claim. The monetary consideration in the deal has not been stated, but it is understood that MT. Keen disposed of his Livengood inter- ests at very substantial figure.
 The sale of the ground by Keen does not mean that he is quitting the Tolovana. For, although he has dis posed of his Livengood interests, he still has extensive interests on other creeks in the Interiors newest placer mining district. Some of these he will prospect during the coming win ter.

FROM WHENCE IT COMES.

IL IS into strange company that MT. Hughes has fallen in this DO litical campaign. First was the union of the regular party and the Pro posite in cast of mind as Barnes and Roosevelt. Then came the hy- phenates who objected to Wilson s German policy. Then the woman $ suffrage party endorsed him. and now Colonel George Harvey. of the North American Review, has gone over to his side.
 There is no more rabid sympa- thizer with the allies in the country than the colonel That he and the Germans and lrish-Americans should favor the same man is the height of irony. However, the colonel is an exceptional judge of men. and one who expresses himself without any fear of the consequence. He is more likely to make better estimate of the attitude of the candidate than any other man.
 If Hughes is elected there will be lively time in Washington when he attempts to weld into q working unit the force that elects him. He can not, like Hercules. kill his hydra and be done with it; he must har- ness it to the blow and make it work There is a pleasant time in store for Hughes if he is elected.

POLITICIANS 0f CHATAN|KA ARE
 CE1 1 |NC BUSY
DEMOCRATIC CLUB TO BE ORGA- NEED AT CHATANlkA ON
 NEXT MONDAY NIGHT.

A prominent federal office holder and politician remarked a few days ago that there seems to be but very little interest taken in politics in the interior. They are live ones down on the coast" he said, showing their interest in national affairs by their interest in the coming territorial cleo tion."
 But if he thinks that the interior is entirely dead in the matter of politics he should be at Chatanika next Monday evening and help to organize the Chat anika Democratic club. For politics are seething at the creek city, accord ing to all reports, and the Democrats of that vicinity have decided that they will perfect an organization having as it's object the furtherance of the in terests of Democracy in Interior Al ka and in Chatanika and vicinity in particular
 The meeting will be called to order at S:30 o'clock Monday evening in the spacious lobby of the Dempsey hotel at the creek city. Hans Madsen will be in the chair The general public, and all Democrats in particular, are urged to be present.

wear anything from Greek gown tu q peasant costume and look divine, says Belle Armstrong Wright in Good Health. But with very few exceptions allowed for the perfect woman, designs in dress must be adapted before they can be adopted to advantage.
 Fashion plates are drawn upon beautifully tall and fair women to show the proper proportions to be observed in the designs themselves, according to the mind of the design ing artist.
 Some designs are hopelessly bad at the beginning. and others are good only for certain types of wo- men Designs, however good in them srly rs. are not meant to be slayishly copied
 A woman six feet tall may wear dress eight or ten yards wide at the bottom, but the dumpy little woman who is as broad as she is long will be ridiculous figure in same enormous sweep of skirt.

TO CIVlLiZE MOROS
 BY MEDICAL MEANS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-A plan for civil zing the 100000 Moros of the Sulu archipelago, by giving them medical relief from the many di- seases rampant in their native isles, was announced today by the Rock efeller Foundation.
 Cooperating with the International Health Board of the Rockefeller Foundation, the Philippine govern ment will send hospital ship to the island group inhabited by the Moros and kindred tribes. The ship is now being equipped and will be maintained for five years under the joint supervision of the government and the foundation.
 An announcement made today by the foundation says:
 For more than 200 years the MoroS, who were the famous Malay pirates, have resisted all attempts by Spain and the United States to pacify them by military force. Since their entrance into history they have been people apart. They are of the Mohammedan faith. The Moros suffer from skin diseases of severe form, malaria, hookworm, dysentery and other preventable infections. As the IgorOte and other head hunting tribes were civilized largely by the men who brought them medical re- lief, it was decided to reach the MOroS in the same way"

VAULT WILL bE SCENE Of MUCH
 NiHItR WyRK
LATE RAINS HAVE ASSISTED MINING OPERATIONS
 MATERIALLY.

Perhaps the rain of the last few days has not been very pleasant to the people of Fairbanks, but it has been a veritable godsend to the ope- rators on Vault They are still sluic- ing, many of them while others are blocking out new work for the winter.
 According to reports reaching Fair banks from Vault, there will be as much work done there this winter as last. The operators are very much enCoura ged by the way things have gone this year.
 Warren Beatty & Hamilton are working on the Victoria association on Treasure creek and are preparing to take out winter dump there.
 E. M. Keys X Sons have begun ope- rations on the claim on upper Vault which they recently purchased from Jack Prest, They will take out a winter dump.
 Dominic Fassini and partners have taken lay on the Victor association on Vault and will take out winter dump.
 Henry Cook, on lower Vault, is still sluicing and will later begin to open up other workings.
 Samson, Williams and partners have started work on the Wild Cat and are making every preparation for winter work there.

r FREESTONE IS
 LAID AT REST

Yesterday afternoon at 230 sim pie and impressive funeral service was held at the undertaking establishment for the late Lou Freestone. Rev. G. G. Bruce, of the Presbyterian church, conducted the services. The men whose sad duty it was to bear the body of their friend to his last resting place in the Fairbanks cemetery were Louis Brigal, Joshua Vance, Jacob Bender. F. k. Barbee, Thomas Wat son and Bud CourtemanChe.
 Freestone had been ill for many months, but resisted the efforts of his friends to take him to the hospital Finally he became so seriously ill that the counsel of his friends prevailed, and he was taken to St. Joseph's hos pital under the care of Dr. M. F. Hall. But the action was too late, and he passed away after just few hours in the hospital.
 He was an oldtimer and well known to Fairbanks people. He was an ex- pert mill man and amalgamator, and set up many mills in this district. Since his illness however, he has been one of the managers of the Railroad Cigar Store.

GEO. w. GOETHALS.

The threatened resignation of Maj General George w. Goethals, gov ernor of the canal zone. marks the passing from active life of one of the greatest engineers and eXecu- lives this country has produced. Gen. Goethals is striking example of the blindness of democracieS in the recognition of its great men. Ameri- ca as whole never heard of the man until he was chosen governor of the Canal zone; yet he was in charge of the Mussels Shoals canal construction on the Tennessee river and made remarkable record there.
 America is the most readily caught by the flamboyant utterances of some self advertiser, and Goethals is not that type of man. Once in charge at Panama his great executive ability brought order out of the muddled condition into which things had fallen under the system where by the engineer in charge was throt- tied by an absent commission.
 Now he has taken his place among the great engineers. and it is no mean place that he holds. America was tardy in recognition. but she has royalty made up by her generosi- ty. Nor has she ever found a more worthy recipient.

WE HAVE SOMETHING
 ON THE OTHER ANIMALS.

In the London Opinion the sage James Douglas, speculating on that pleasurable emotion which is accom- panied by face cracking movements of the muscles of the physiognomy and a brightness of the eyes and is known as laughter. describes the phenomenon as the human miracle" and says:
 No bird or beast or fish or rep tile can laugh. You can teach an ape to do almost anything, but you cannot teach him to laugh. The awful solemnity of animals is the earth. They are cut off from the abiding miracle of humor.
 "A wise man has warned us to in- terrogate ourselves when we laugh. totally and entirely repudiate that diabolical doctrine. Never interro- gate yourself when you laugh. You should never look laugh in th mouth
 There are many kinds of laugh ter. but they are all good Interro- gate yourself if you like when you weep. But if you value the well be- ing of your soul never interrogate yourself when you laugh. Laughter is a good thing in itself. and an end by itself The quality of laughter. like the quality of mercy, ought never to be strained. Laugh be- fore you look
