ORDER SUPPLIES FOR
 THE ENTIRE YEAR

There will be a rejoicing on the Pribilof islands when the supplies for next fall winter and spring ar rive. New clothes for the men, wo- men and children. good things to eat, ammunition for the rifles and shotguns, household furniture, medi- cines and other necessities will come by the ship load. Enough to last 2 year. That is the way the brueau of fisheries, which have control of the islands, buys. Bids on 1,4S7 different articles have been called for by the bureau.
 Except for the employees of the bu- reau of fisheries and the school teach ers,. there are but few white people on the Pribilofs. The rest are Na- lives. However, those of the Far North demand good things to eat and wear.
 Golf caps for men are specified and nothing less than Paris garters will satisfy the fastidious dressers, of whom there are apparently twenty four on St. Paul and St. George is lands. The king of indoor sports on the islands is smoking and TO less than 3,125 pounds of the leaf made famous by Sir Walter Raleigh are ordered in the specifications. Cigars of the Manila brand, 5000 of them are wanted in the North, and accord ing to the supply list they must be at least five inches long," The St. Paul islanders smoke tailor made cigarettes, while the St. George men roll their own, in consequence of which 1000 books of papers are wanted on St. George.
 The women of the islands seem to delight in fancy colored skirts, but for some reason every request wheth- CT for gingham, percale, or sateen, is marked, "send no yellow
 Among the foodstuffs 1,240 pints of Worcestershire sauce, six live tur- keys. 100 pounds of pickel pigs feet, "A pints of sweet gherkins, and hundreds of cans of apples, peaches, pears and cherries hold forth wis ions of repast such as will be en- joyed on the Fourth of July, birth days and Christmas.
 The girls have not been neglected either, for 1S0 cartons of Wrigley's s chewing gum, 800 pounds of pailed candy and A pounds of bonbons are called for. It's a long and expensive bill which Uncle Sam will foot when the shipments go on their Northern journey.

LARORS AS \ MAN IN MINE
 WITHOUT REVEALING SEX

PITTSBURG. Pa, May 19.-Eacll morning at o'clock for three years, youthful coal digger went down ill the mines at Tyler, Pa, clad in over- alls, blue shirt, with miners cap and lamp.
 The young miner was known as Joe Ricatone," from Sunny Italy. Bright and happy of face and disposi- tion, always ready to engage in a frolic or a fistfght, if occasion de manded, Joe won place in the hearts of the others miners and was not only regarded as good fellow, but friend to tie to.
 Rather suddenly one day recently Joe decided to give up mining and try something else. There were his brothers to consult, and after sol emn family council it was decided that he should don woman's appa- rel and come to Pittsburg to find some other kind of employment.
 For "Joe" is girl.
 She is a beautiful girl too. She had come to America to win her for tune and the lure of $2.50 per day in the mines was too strong for an am bilious girl of her physique.
 To carry out her plans she donneL the regulation attire of the Italian laborer and applied to the mines fo1 work.
 She did the regular work required by the men at her side and at no time was her sex suspected.

STEAM DREDGING
 SAVES NOME CAMP

Dredging in the Nome mining dis trict of alaska is gradually restoring that camp to position of importance it held during the days Of early opera tions, says John Brewer, mining man of the North, who has operated in that vicinity for sixteen years. Brow CT came South last winter for the second time in sixteen years and IS in Seattle preparing to return. He is a guest at the Frye, says the Seattle Times.
 When the rich pay banned out in the Nome submarine beaches,' said Brewer today, mining men gradual !y deserted that camp for better grounds. Hand working of the Nome claims was too expensive to warrant operations on the low grade pay to be obtained and the camp seemed doomed to desertion.
 About this time the steam dredge made it's appearance and began to working ground paying as low as if teen cents a yard. Each year few new dredges were imported with the result that dredging operations in the district are now extensive. The average pay in the Nome camp is about forty cents a yard and excel tent results are being obtained from dredging"

NEITHER WESTWARD TOWN
 WILL BE PORT OF ENTRY \

Neither Seward or Anchorage will be made ports of entry this summer, according to B. R. Stivers, deputy Collector of Customs, now in Anchor age. where he will be stationed for about a month. After he leaves there a special man will be appointed to act only while ship is in port un- loading bulk cargo of coal, steel or other commodity for the Alaska Eng ineering Commission.
 The collector of Customs at Juneau confirms the statement that neither Seward or Anchorage will be desig- mated as ports of entry this year, and a temporary appointment will not be made for Seward this year. On ac- count of the Alaska Engineering Com mission importing several cargoes of coal and steel this season for the use of the railroad, a temporary man will be appointed under an authoriza- tion received recently from Washing ton, stationed at Anchorage who will be paid for each day actually employ ed.
 A petition from the Seward Com- mercial club asking that Seward be designated as port of entry was re- gently sent to Washington. In an- swer to the petition, letter was received recently by the collector of customs here, which states that it is unnecessary. The department has received authorized information that neither the Grand Trunk nor the Cam adian Pacific Pacific are contemplat- ing extending their service to Seward and therefore the designation of that place as port of entry unnecessary and inadvised.
