SAW A HORSE
FOR FIRST TIME

Ii will probably be news to
many people that there are in the
Yukon many Indians who have
never seen horse. Yet such is
the case, says Little Salmon
correspondent of the Dawson
News. Recently there came into
Little Salmon Joseph Cote, and
with him came an Indian bearing
the famous name of Sousa. He is
about ~ years old, but never in
his life had he seen horse before.
Walter Lamb, who manages the
Taylor, Drury and Pedlar post at
Little Salmon, has team there
for banking wood, and great was
the curiosity of Sousa when the
time came for the horses to come
home. He edged up to them, very
carefully, and looked them over.
Have rider" said Lamb, and
brought a horse near. Sousa
could stand it no longer, but ran
as fast as he could to the cabin
for shelter, whence he looked in
safety at the strange beasts.
There was another excitement
in connection with the horses.
The travellers had ten dogs with
them, none of whom had seen a
horse before. The nearest thing
to horse that the dogs had seen
was a moose, and when the horses
came in the dogs tried to break
their chains and get at them. and
it took three men with black
snakes to change their ideas on
he subject.
This is the first time that Sou
sd had seen the mighty Yukon.
He in company with many other
Indians some wears ago came
over the divide from the Macken-
zie to Ross river, at the mouth of
which Cote has a trading post
and conditions were so favorable
that they all decided to stay.
Since that time families have been
coming over all the time.-Ruby

MINING OUTLOOK
FOR THE K0YUKUK

In a report rendered by Deputy
MAJ sinai I1eppenstall to his ciiiet,
ana also IN letter received from
Dr. Dantorth OF the fairbanks
lines, the conditions in a MIN
ing way in the koyukuk and the
ouelook Tor the spring are pretty
we'll explained. The outlook is
very good for the spring. There
is more activity shown on Ham
mond river ana Nolan creek than
ever before. The extremely cold
weather has frozen up Hammond
river, SO the operators are
bothered very little with water
there, and some of them report
having good pay. On Nolan
creek, every claim from discovery
to . below is working, and all
have good pay. Gold and Myrtle
creeks, two of the oldest produc-
ers in the camp, will add consid-
erably to the output of the spring
cleanup, Jack Thompson and
Oscar Johnson, who are working
OH Gold creek, report that they
have very good pay. Jack and
Martin Slisco report that they
have found excellent pay on Myr-
tie creek.
Porcupine creek has taken on a
new lease OF life. There are sew
eral men prospecting on that
creek this winter, and they report
finding very satisfactory pros
poets. 1t is reported in Wiseman
that Charles Murray and partners
on Rye creek, in the Wild river
country, have reached bedrock
and found some money, but whe-
Their it is pay or not is not known
in Wisenan' They are the only
ones in the Wild river district
who have been able to get to bed
rock. The others were all trou-
bled with water.-Fairbanks

SATURDAY, APRIL I, 1916.

After all the severe denuncia-
ton that has fallen to the lot OF
that ancient ana much patronlzed
institution, the kiss, because OF
certain alleged mlcrobe spreading
tenuencles, 1t is indeed cheerful
to hna that some one has come to
its defense with the calm, cold
evidence of an analytical report
to sustain their contention that
the kiss is by no means so deadly
as some of Its traduecrs would
have us believe. For that is just
what has happened! Hear it, all
ye kiss inclinedl The kiss, de-
spite the efforts of the lofty por-
ticoed ones to convince us to the
contrary, has been proven no more
deadly than a hundred and one
other things we encounter with
out a thought of their containing
the slightest hint OF danger In
deed, it is proven that the kiss,
under ordinary conditions, is real
ly not dangerous at all. No less
an authority than the United
States public health service has
delivered the momentous pro-
nouncement that kisses, take
them through and bye, are far
more innocent as spreaders of the
deadly germ and microbe than
are the omnipresent fly or that
gentle companion of our slum-
Der hours, the mosquito. In fact,
a report of the service recently
issued, declares that the kiss is
ninety nine per cent pure. This is
no idle statement, remember, for
it is backed up by a comprehen-
sive analysis of the germ dissipat-
ing possibilities of over four
thousand subjects examined I'M
der the rigorous rules employed
by your Uncle Samuel in determ-
inging just what is dangerous to
the public health and what is not.
Therefore, upon the unimpeacha
BILE testimony of the government
the kiss possesses no more dangers
that can of sardines or a dozen
and one other articles of diet in
which we indulge almost every
day OF our lives. But one per
cent of all kisses are dangerous,
according to the report which
goes on to say that even these
are not really dangerous to the
average healthy adult. They are
dangerous to children and the
weak and debilitated but, again,
this does not mean that they will
surely cause illness in the event
that one of them happens to be
received. There is, indeed, danger
that some of the many germs
carried around by the one per
cent of possible kissers may be
transmitted to some possible
kissee, but that is as far as it,
goes Out of the total of 4,oo3
persons examined but one per
cent were found to be carrying
dangerous germs in their oscul-
tory aDparatti which might be
transmitted to others through
the act of kissing. 1t is true that
in this small percentage some par

Many attacks by the Austrians
against the Italians in the upper

bending back the line Of the Italians,
who, in counter-attack in which there
was handtto4hand fighting, repulsed

Failure likewise followed an attempt
of the Austrians to surround the
Italians in the Trovo Valley.

William Jennings Bryan is one OF
the biggest figures of the national cap
ital these days, despite the fact that
he holds no Office. He is the center
of large crop of rumors, and he is
identified in some way with almost
every big political project before the
nations congress.
Here are some of the policies it is
said Bryan hopes to commit the dem
ocratic party to:
Nation wide prohibition.
Woman suffrage by federal amend
ment.
Election of the president by direct
popular vote.
Changes to make the constitution
more easily amendable.
Mr.. Bryan also is opposed to the ef-
fort to give the federal government ex-
elusive & ltrol over railroad regula-
ton and "militarism" as represented
by proposals for universal military
training.
Rumor also has it that Mr..
BRYAN is identified with a strong
movement toward peace in Europe
But prohibition is the reform fol
which he is plugging hardest just now

Last June Company G, w. N. g.,
Wausau's crack military organization,
was called to go to the Mexican Dor
der. The departure of the boys was

Information was given out that the
special train would arrive in Wausau
at $50 p. M, but it was after IL
o'clock when it finally pulled into the
st. Paul depot 1t was a bitter cold
night, and our citizens being anxious
to greet the boys and give them a
hearty welcome, filled the depot and
grounds to overlooking as early as
eight o'clock. The long wait and the
cold drove hundreds to their homes;
still there were thousands on hand
when the train arrived. After a brief
reception, in which relatives took an
active part, procession was formed
which was in charge of a former cap
tain of the Company-Herman J. Abra-
ham, In line were drill team of
the Eagles of seventeen men; the
band; Company G.; United Spanish
war veterans; civic societies and citi-
zens, generally. 1t all made an i'm
posing scene as the procession
marched along streets crowded on
either side with enthusiastic citizens.
The line of march was west on Grant
street to Third, south on Third to the
court house square. 1t was too cold
to remain outside so Company G and
all that could, went to the court room
where Mayor Marquardt made an ad-
dress, welcoming the boys home; the
band played patriotic pieces, all sing

cession again formed and marched to
the armory where luncheon was
served to the returning soldiers, by
