The Nine-Day Bogy Returns to Life
I am told child should remain in bed
nine days after the breaking out of the rash
of measles. Is 1t right?
Answer - No. 1t is old wives gossip.
Generally the child should remain in bed
only while the fever is present, which is
three or four days (this is when the rash
is most pronounced) AS soon as the fever
is gone let the child get up AS soonf as
the child feels like going out to play, Slet

The Nome Chamber of Commerce and all Seward peninsula is now en- gagged in au effort to secure balf mil lion dollars for road building in the territory.
 According to advices received in Fairbanks the roadhouses along the Olnes- -Tolovana road have entered into an agreement not Go serve meals for less than S15O. They have each posted a forfeit of S25 as a guarantee that the agreement will be kept. Travellers who have used che trail extensively state that the meals at mauy of the road houses are not all that could be de- sired, but considering the freight charges that the price is reasonable enough -Ex.
 A special dispatch to the Skagway Alaskan from Atliu, B. C., says: Chas. Petit, who has been trapping on Hitch. cock mountain, twenty five miles north of this place, reached town last night and gave himself up to the authorities, stating that he had killed his partner, Alex Swanson, having mistaken him for a moose. In telling of the accident Petit said that they had established a camp and he had made a trip which had taken two weeks. He was return ing to camp and had reached point about mile and a half away when he heard a commotion in a clump of bush es about fifty feet from him. He thought that 1t must be a moose, not having the faiutest idea that Swanson would be that far from camp, and with out Investigating any farther, he fired point blank into the rustling brush. When he investigated Che spot he found that he had killed his partner
 One night last October,while the good ship Senator was steaming from Nome to Seattle with the social hall of her thlrd-class passengers crowded with bOisterOus, good-natured miners, some one turned a deck hose through an open daylight into the midst of the party. As the sea water sloshed over the group panic fell on them. Some one shouted fire" and. the crowd in- stantly charged toward the ladder lead ing to the upper deck. J. F. Kelly was standing in the way No one thought of walking around him, SO they walked over him. Kelly went down, and the hobnailed boots offorty miners climbed the length of him. Twice Kelly man aged Go rise, only to go down again beneath the boots ofthe milling miners. When the excitement subsided, Kelly brushed off his clothes and announced that some one was going to pay for using him as a doormat. Yesterday jury in Judge Tallmau's department of the superior court gave him a judgment of s25O against the Pacific Coast Steam ship company, owners of the Senator Seattle Post-lntelligencer,

 The cost of expeditions for the relief
 of wrecked fishermen and lost hunters
 in Southeastern Alaska has become
 such a burden to the communities of the district that the Ketchikan Com- mercial Club has started a movement to have a revenue cutter stationed there during the winter months. The Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Com- merce is Investigating the matter and will render such assistance Go the plan as seems advisable. Fishermen, hunt CTS and others are often wrecked and cast away in the stormy winter months on the Southeastern Alaska coast. "Volunteers for relief expeditions are always plentiful" says the Ketchikan Commercial Club, "but the expense of boat hire aud food for the relief parties has become a burden on the communi. ties. Such wrecks have been particu- larly numerous this year."
 Seattle is to meet the competition of Prince Rupert as a gateway to Alaska. Cheaper fares via more direct route as a result of the completion of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Com pauy's trauscontiuental line for time threatened to cause an important amount of travel to be diverted by way of the North Paci6c's newest port, but action by the North Coast Passenger Association removes this danger and puts Seattle on an equal footing with her Northern neighbor. Following meeting of railroad and steamship of dcials at Portland recently came iudi vidual notice by the Northern Pacific, Great Northern, Union Pacific and Chi- cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway com. pauies and the Alaska Steamship Com pany, the Pacific Alaska Navigation Company aud the Border Line Trans portatiou Company of their intention to establish the same through oneway fares between Alaska ports and Eastern territory via Seattle as now apply via Prince Rupert
 Because they believe market condi- tions during the next few years at least will warrant considerable investment in the salmon packing industry of the North. c. c. Burnett, A. B. Penney cook and J. F. McGehee have decided to put in a mild curing plant and salt cry for salmon at Wrangel narrows with the idea of getting a caunery equipment later. The new company organized by them is one of several new concerns that will operate the com ing summer. i've are going out after the business and while we will start with a mild curing and saltery plant we expect to add a canuery outfit later" said Mir. Burnett. "There seems to be an excellent chance in the North ern salmon industry, as we expect to prove by our entering wedge. We have our equipment on the ground now and and will be ready to operate by the time the first salmon show up," Mir. Burnett is secretary of the new com pany. Its name is the Glacier Fish & Tradino C0mpaDv.

That ore is being hauled to the mill from the various claims on Fairbanka creek is the information brought to town by P. J. Rickert, who returned from a trip over the line to repair a break that occurred near Meehan, says the Fairbanks Times. Mir. Rickert saw the ore being unloaded into the bins and although the Heilig mill was not in actual operation at the time he passed, it is no doubt working by this time. The first ore that Mr. Heilig contem plated putting through the mill after he bad installed his coDcentrator was the ore from the Favian.Foss claim, opposite McCarthy's property on the summit. These two prospectors have been working on this claim for some years, and whenever they have a mill run, they are pleased with the returns. The property has thus far paid for it's own development.
 Besides owning interests in several mines and the townsite of Hadley, Alaska, Stanley Oakesmith is branch iug out in new lines and will start a canuery this spring in time for the years pack. "T have followed mining for a good many years, but the canuery business looks good to me-" said Mir. Oaksmith. q shall retain my mining interests, as the duration of the can nery season is only few months and will have the rest of the year to attend to my own affairs. ] recently bought the townsite of Hadley, Alaska, and while this place may not be lz9own very we'll yet it will make a noise before we are through. At the present time the Grauby Smelling Company is shipping 300 tons of copper ore a day from Had- ley and there will be other mines pro- duciug soon." Mr. Oaksmith is presi' dent of the Scandinavian American Packing Company.
 Take note The first coal conner cially mined in Alaska has been taken out of the ground and burned in Alas kan stoves in Alaskan homes, John A. Herbert, of Seldovia, Alaska, on Kach. emak bay, is the miner Under re- strictions of the law and the regula- tions established by Secretary Lane, a permit was granted last April to Her. bert to mine coal in the area of the Chugach national forest. The land con- tains two workable beds of Ignite, but is unclaimed and unoccupied for any purpose. Herbert began bis coal min ing operations on May of last year, aud since then has built bunkers with a capacity of 800 tons, has purchased scows for the transportation of the coal to Seldovia and has "run a drift" to cut the vein of coal near the point of outcrop. Up to November 1, 1915, be had mined and marketed 700 tons of high grade Ignite, and he is continuing his operations through the winter The report of the mining operations comes to the interior department from An chorage, the southeastern terminus of government built Alaskan railroad, where Herbert has marketed much of his coal. The coal has found a ready sale also at the salmon canneries at Seldovia at prices ranging from S25O a ton at the bunkers and S3.5O at SeldoYis to S6 a ton at Anchorage. The interior departments report shows that Herbert is a miner of experience and is develop ing the bed Gin a workmanlike manner aud with a view to future mining"

During the last few years the ranks of the Alaska Pioneers have been in- creasing rapidly and the latest reports give the number of members in the different igloos as follows: No.1, Nome, 4l5; No. 3, St. Michael, B; No. 4, Fair banks, 752; No. 3, Ruby, 32l; No. 6, Ju = neau, 2l5; No. r, Valdez, 225; No. 8, Wisemau, 73; No. 9, Seward, 76; No. 10, Iditarod, l55; No. II, Opbir, 3S. Total 2323 mem bers. This shows an increase of 695 mem bers since July, 1914. There are now two auxiliaries, IglOO No. 1, Pioneer Women of Alaska, Nome; lgloo No. 9, Valdez. The Grand lgloo has a card index of 200 names, Pioneers who have belonged to Igloos since the order was instituted nearly eight and 8 half years ago.-Ex.
 "That interior Alaska is receiving it's share of the home-owning immigration is shown by the rapid growth of Fair banks. At one time Fairbanks had a population of nearly l5,OOO in the dis trict then Pinchotism hit tine territory and the population dropped back to but few thousands; now it is going ahead again with leaps and bounds, and in a few more months will be larger and more prosperous than ever. 1t has become a city of fine homes and good buildings and fine schools. Most of this growth, of course, is due to her To. cation in the center of one of the best districts for mining and agriculture in the territory, and still another reason for it may be traced to the large num- Der of men who have built homes and brought their families in from the states. Now that people on the out side are finding that the climate of Alaska is not nearly so rigorous as that of Nebraska, the Dakotas or Illinois, they are bringing their families in and preparing to stay. Fairbanks is due to be the metropolis of Interior Alaska, and Valdez is proud of her steady, rapid growth."-Prospector.
 Arthur Berry, who is now in Seward from the Kuskokwim, is the owner of the most wonderful moose alive Up on the banks of that stream where Mr. Berry lives and conducts the Kusko- kwim Trading Company he has a COW moose that comes into the house and lies down like a pet domestic animal. When the door is locked Mrs. Moose comes up to the window and looks in. Then to the door she moves and tries every means to gain an entrance, and when the door is open she rushes right in like a frolicksome puppy dog Mir. Berry got the animal when she was only a few weeks old and has raised her. She follows him everywhere and has absolutely no fear The only hu- man beings she cannot tolerate are the Indians and especially the squaws. On occasion she goes after the native women and chases them. Her method of fighting the women is to kick at them with foreleg, then turn and kick out with the hind hoof as if wishing to give her fore and aft weapons an equal chance. The reason for this hostility 10 the natives is said to be due to the fact that the Indians punish moose by whipping them in the ears. Last sea son Mir. Berry grew a lot of cabbage and when the task of feeding his pet confronted him in the fall he let her loose at the vegetables, Seward Gate way,
