NAVIGATION IS NOW OPEN
 IN INTERIOR

Navigation Is now open in the in terior At least that Is the pre- sumption. by reason of the fact that the lee rom the upper Yukon liver is now running past Panama at the mouth of the Panama This is taken as an indication that the last flow of the season is commencing and that it will be a but short tim" until the supply of ice furnished by the upper Yukon and it's tributaries will have become exhausted. According ly, the steamer Tanana which left Fairbanks last night for Dawson, ex- poets to have clear sailing all the way to the Yukon metropolis.
 The opening of navigation in the interior means that the first boats from the upper Yukon will reach Fairbanks in about ten days. The steamer Schwatka, with a barge load of cattle. is supposed to have left Dawson last night, while the steam CT Washburn is bringing large quantity of perishables which will be transferred to some other boat, probably the Reliance. at Tanana for transportation to Fairbanks
 No word has yet been received here concerning the opening of the lower Yukon

TEXAN CHILL CON CARVE.

ENRN CHILL CON CSHNG.
 One pound round steak, , red peppers, 1 tablespoonful hot drip ping, garlic, thyme, ? tablespoonfuls dry rice. water, salt.
 Cut the round steak into small pieces and put it into a frying pan with the dripping cupful of boil ing water and the rice. Cover close ly and cook steadily until tender. Seed the peppers, cover them with boiling water and when tender scrape the pulp from them. Mix this with half pint of water, little garlic and thyme, and add to the meat. Salt to taste, simmer ten minutes and serve.
 CORN PONE BREAD.
 One pint corn meal, 1 teaspoonful salt, 1 small tablespoonful lard, sweet milk.
 Mark Twain once gave d recipe for a whole lot of meal, a whole lot Of water and d little bit of salt. But, to correctly follow his directions one must be black of face and weigh two hundred and fifty-nO one else produces the desired results from uncertain quantities but the real old before the war negro. For the average person of the average cook. ing intelligence the following IS d very good recipe for real southern corn pone:
 Place the lard in the center of the meal and pour over this enough boiling water to scald all the meal. Add salt and enough sweet milk to make a dry batter. Dip your hands into cold water and take up enough of the mixture to form little oblong shaped pones, a bit larger than a croquette. Have your baking pan hot and greased. Place the little pones on the baking pan, but do not let them touch. as they must have an all-over brown crust. Brown them in the oven and serve with the meat course.
 If there should chance to be any batter left over from dinner it may be utilized for supper by adding more sweet milk and a little butter and sugar Drop this on a hot bak, ing pan in little cakes and serve hot

LOYAL LEAGUE
 MEMBERS ARE
 NOW DRILLING

General drilling has commenced In Fairbanks. It started last night, when party of Fairbanksans, an swcring the call to arms, assembled at the Loyal League armory. Alp, proXimately loo men were present in the hall at s o'clock, or shortly after. but only thirty-two were placed in line for drill, owing to lack ol space. And these thirty-two were drilled but short time only, as it was seen that the only manner in which the men can be handled is to name separate nights ill the week for each drill master to work the various squads Accordingly, that plan will be followed out each drill master being given eight men. At present there are eight drill masters, consequently more men will be drilled in the future than appeared on the floor last night.
 The drilling, such as it was, aho" ed the emuestness with which Far banksans are taking hold of the matter Not nearly all of those men who were in line last night or who were waiting to b. assigned to a squad are of eligible age for nili- ,ary service. but all -Aow the spirit which Is to be expected of Amcgjcan citizens al the present time. In fact. a casual survey of the thirty two men on the floor showed but two of the required age, between twenty-one and thirty years, and three more who are slightly under age. A number more were there who are d year or two over the age limit who would be glad to serve their country were they asked to respond to second call, men who no doubt now wish that they could turn the pages of their lives back for year or two in order that they might at least say they were eligi- ble when the call to duty comes.
 Just prior to the commencement of the drilling R. C. Wood chairman of the military committee of the Alaska Loyal League, gave those as sembled short talk. In few words he outlined the purpose fol which the armory was purchased namely, the drilling of the members of the Alaska Loyal League. but said that those who had put their money in the building intend that it shall be used for all civic pur ing or not No rent is to be charged for the building at any time except to the territory, which is now pay ing rent at the rate of $10O monthly on account of the drilling. The ar mory is never to be used for DO litical or religious purposes, accord ing to MT. Wood,
 The chairman of the military com mittee further told of the business deal whereby Gordons roller rink was acquired and turned into an ar mory. He said that the purchase price of the building was s5.O00 and that S3,500 Of that amount had been subscribed toward the payment for the building. The remainder ot the money, he said, was secured by giving a mortgage on the building for $500. This amount is expected to be raised shortly through the rent now being paid by the terri tory and such entertainments as the league will give in order to clear itself of indebtedness.
