II IS not a pleasant or agreeable Sug

The Wearing OF Red.
Red is the color that has swept the
continent, and so suddenly that the

here is the red Of flame. as we'll as
the red OF the ruby, the scarlet OF the

east the warm red Of BlrdcauX and
Burgundy, and the deep red with its
touches of black that suggest the dregS

USE OF OLIVE OIL.
Reasons Why It Should Have More
 Prominence In Cooking.

Reasons Why 1t Should Havs More
 Prominence In Cooking.
 Americans are not. generally speak ing. liberal enough in the use of olive oil. It should occupy a more prominent place in cooking.
 Any olive oil left in the pan after frying can be filtered through cheese cloth and kept in cool place for future use. Olive oil can be used re- peatedly. It should be hot before the article to be fried is placed in the pan.
 Olive oil is capable of having the temperature raised to over 600 degrees before 1t burns. Butter burns at little over 200. suet at about 300 and lard at 235. It will be seen that butter is q poor frying medium. as food must be kept at too low temperature or 1t scorches. while with oil the high degree quickly coats the outside of the article. with crust that prevents the oil from penetrating.
 Rub the preserving kettle with olive oil to prevent fruit from burning.
 Use olive oil in recipes when possi- ble where butter is called for. It is especially delicious tn soft gingerbread. salad dressing and baked beans.-New York Sun.

4harkss E0os.

The eggs of fishes are usually small. soft and inconspicuous. The most re- markable point about them is the ex' traordinary number laid by the indivtd' ual. A single cod lays as many as 100000 eggs. Sharks lay eggs which are large in size, few as to numbers and are deposited singly instead of in masses. These eggs consist of dark colored leathery envelope and are usually adorned with frills. horns or long twisted tendrils. These append ages serve the purpose of keeping the egg case supported among the branches of seaweeds. thus preserving the en- bryo from the damage 1t would sus' tain were the egg carried hither and thither by the worcestershire Amer ican.

Feet of a Cat.

There is nothing especially striking about the feet of a cat except it's abil- ity always to land on them. Hold n young cat by its feet short distance from the ground for few seconds and then let go. The cats back. being heavier than its feet, should strike the ground first. But it doesn't. Just as the cat is being let go it gives a quick upward thrust with its chest. and as the feet are freed they swing under it so 1t lands on them. In the case of the young cat that has never experi- enced this before 1t doesn't know that 1t is going to be dropped. If it were q long drop there would be time to think. but in the short drop the cat must act. and act immediately. In fact. 1t is really forehanded. The natural con clusion. then. is that this faculty fin the cat is located in its feet. It is inherent in them.-Atlanta Constitution.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO VALDEZ.

With the dawn of January l, the Prospector wishes the citizens of Val deg a happy and prosperous New Year.
 The past year has borne it's bitter as we'll as the sweet, for all of us; but the coming year looms large with promise. Nineteen Sixteen will see the fruition of great things for the Territory; possibly for Valdez. There ia much our city needs in the way of enterprises, and there is a proba- bility that several new concerns will locate with us before the advent of Nineteen Seventeen.
 Come what may, those of us who stick it out here, with a calm confi- dence of our city's future, are bound to receive our reward.
 This district is too rich with minor al resources to go much longer with out big things developing for us. Too much notice is being given the Sound by eastern capital to much longer es- cape our destiny.
 Whatever Is in store for us, we be- ieve will be demonstrated within the next few months. The continuation of the present war is enriching few mine owners, but it's cessation will start flood of eager capital to the North which will benefit all.
 We trust that when the flood of Prosperity strikes the Sound, that your craft will ride the topmost crest of the wave

NATIVES MAKE PROGRESS.

: Few people of Alaska realize the real progress being made by the na- lives of Alaska, and especially those living in Southeastern Alaska where they are brought into close touch with the progressive whites. The tribes of Southeastern Alaska have formed a brotherhood and a review of the convention recently held at Metlakahtla shows that the natives are making surprisipg progress.
 . Speaking of citizenship, the chair man, who is a native, said:

white people might take lessons from them. Wheneit Is considered that the white people have been generations struggling towards the light and have had the benefit of the best teachers, whilst the natives in Alaska emerged from savagery few years ago, and have come into contact mostly with the worst element, the comparison is all the more striking and is entirely in favor of the natives.

"The suu.-.. that engages our ear nest attention here today is one that is new to us today, and one that was utterly unknown to our fathers of few years ago. Like any of the other demands of this present life the call of our country for the exer- else on our part of the ordinary du- ties of good citizens is pressing and we cannot shirk it otherwise. Let us be humble apd wise, and at once familiarize ourselves with this, and then under the guidance of our American friends let us try to full fill it's requirements for the good of our northern country and our native people. If we commit bad mistakes let us be very willing to have them corrected, and then try again."
 "The citizen under our flag and government today is one who owes to his government allegiance service and support, and to whom the govern ment in turn grants and guarantees liberty of person, of conscience, of human society, the right of acquiring and possessing property, of suit and defense, and security in person, es- tate and reputation. This is but a plain and simple definition of the American citizen, and trust that it will help us tonight to understand the important subject before us."
 MT. Charley Jones, an elderly dele gate from Wrangell, concluded one of a series of discussions with the fol- lowing words:
 "Young gentlemen and friends, l cannot help myself. must conform to the conditions of the day in which I live now. So many white people have come to our country, and some of them have brought us the clear light of a better life. Why should l hold back? It is not right for me to do this. There was a time when the wild seal used to plunge into the wa ters at the slightest disturbance of the air. Now he has become used to the bright flashes of the government light on his native rookery, and he does not flee so easily any more. If he can do that surely can also con- form myself and life to the new re- quirements of this present day"
 The answer to questions concern ing the things which were holding the natives back were varied, as follows:
 Engage in some kind of business and be interested in it. Put in real practice what knowledge and trade you have learned in school. Save your earnings and use them alright. Be leaders for good among your own people. Find steady work and no matter how humble 1t may be stick to it. Send your children reg ularly to school. Take part in the common welfare of the town in which you live. Be interested in books and in your leisure hours. Go to church regularly and take hearty interest in your own home and family life and make it one worth living for." ..,

 The Legion of Honor is q French or der for the recognition of military anG civil merit. instituted by Napoleon while consul May 19. 1902. and inaugh- rated July 14. 1894. The decoration originally consisted of star contain. ing the portrait of Napoleon surround ed by a wreath of oak and laurel. with the legend. Napoleon Empereur des Francais:' on the reverse was tn French eagle with thunderbolt in his talons and the legend. "Honneur et Patrie."
 Tue order has been remodeled sev- eral times. the last occasion being sub. sequent to the downfall of the second empire. There are now five ranks or classes-ordinary chevaliers or knights. officers. commanders. grand officers. grand crosses. The pr0fuse granting of the decoration of the order latterly brought the institution into discredit and the number of chevaliers is now restricted to 25O00. the officers to 4.OO0. the commanders to 1000. the grand officers to POO and the grand crosses to seventy.

ALASKA's WEALTH IN FISH.


 report to the department, made pub lie many interesting facts regarding Alaska's great wealth in sea food. Part of his report says: .
 "The season of 1914 was the most prosperous in the history of the gen eral fisheries of Alaska. The prod ucts were valued at $5,50O,000 more than those of the previous season. The catch of salmon was the largest ever made and was noteworthy for the enormous output of reddish in the Bristol bay region.
 "In 1914 the fishing industry of Alaska gave employment to 21,200 persons, of whom slightly over 400O were natives. The investment in the fisheries was approximately $37,0O0,- 900, of which $31,894,O00 represent ed the salmon industry. The catch of salmon aggregated 54,650,0O0 fish, from which there were prepared A. 036,OO0 cases of canned fish valued at $18,92O,O00 and miscellaneous products valued at $638,000. The total value of the fisheries products proper in 1914 was S21,243,O0O, which amount exceeded that of any other one year. The number of sal mon canneries operated in Alaska in 1914 was eighty-one, compared with seventy-nine in 1913 and eighty-sev- en in 1912.
 "The annual census of red salmon ascending Wood river was omitted in 1914, but was resumed in the sea- son of 1915. The number which as- cended the river in 1915 was approx imately 24O,000, which number was less than that for any other year in which the census has been taken.
 During the year every possible ef- fort has been made to enforce the laws and regulations, and 1t is be- lieved that as much has been done as possible with the limited person nel provided. .
 Section of the act of congress ap- proved June 26, 1906, entitled, An act for the protection and regula- tion of the fisheries of Alaska au- thorizes the limiting or prohibition of fishing in certain Alaskan waters when in the judgment of the. secre tary of commerce such action is nec- essary in the interests of the fisheries, but it is required that before any such order is promulgated hearing shall be held at which all persons interest ed may be given an opportunity to express their views. Two orders made in accordance with this statute are already effective. Recommendations having been made that the depart ment prohibit commercial fishing in certain other waters, arrangements were made for holding a hearing in regard to the subject at Seattle on October 1, 1915.
 "In the fiscal year 1914 the five privately owned salmon hatcheries in Alaska liberated 64.S7s,5s0, red sal mon fry thereby earmsng for their owners tax exemptions on canned sal mon amounting t6 26,959.03. In the fiscal year 1915 these hatcheries lib- erated 79,619,500 red-salmon fry, on which the tax exemption is $31,847.- 80, the basis of exemption being 40 cents per 1000 fry" . ...,
