before legislature for years.
Senator Thomas took exception to
the items contained in it, although he
said he was as willing as anyone to
vote to pay the just claims against the

the state when there was a law against
it. The deficiency bill is largely made

Buttons are used for fastening the

Struggled Pepper In Bike.

Smuggling pepper into Germany has
taxed the ingenuity Of the German
mind, but Teuton recently evolved
the following method: A bicycle be-
longing to a workman who was riding
into Germany was seized by the Swiss
authorities, and on examination It was
found that the framework was filed
with pepper. Customs officials who
later raided the workman's dwelling
found large quantities of the same
condiment, apparently waiting for .
favorable opportunity.

country life are always interesting, or
those made on trips to places of great
natural beauty Of historic interest. The
blank books can be had at the humble
and useful ten-cent stores and the pic
lures pasted In them. There is really
more interest In this work, If the books
are to be sent to acquaintances who
have joined the army, and it is not at
all hard to get acquainted with some
soldier boy who may have less atten-
ton from home than his comrades.
One especially nice thing about them
is that they can be passed along and
another is that the work is interesting
in itself.
The pictures ana stories should al
ways be cheerful. The boys at the
front have no use for "sob stuff" but
they don't mind being a little senti-
mental. Here Is chance to be imme-
diately seized, to do something worth
while for Christmas.

KEYSTONE DRILL TO BE USED
 ON LOWER WILLOW CREEK

Harry Watson who arrived here about two weeks ago from the Marshall district, is reported to have completed arrangements for operating Keystone drill on the lower reaches of Willow creek, in the Marshall dis trct, during the coming summer Shortly after the opening of navigation, it is stated sae drill will leave here in charge of an ex pert of the Yukon Gold Company.
 The impression has been given wide pub licity that the pay on Willow creek, from which some s2000OO was taken last sum mer, was confined to five claims only, and the statement had been made that this ground would be worked out during the coming summer This is believed to be CT roneous as 1t is claimed that 1t will take at least three years to work out what ground has been opened up already. The belief is general in Marshall that the pay on Willow creek extends far below the pres ent workings as 1t is not thought reasonable that such rich deposits should end so abruptly Options have been obtained on some twenty-five claims on lower Willow creek, and these will be prospected with view to dredging operations. Should the ground prove to contain a continuation of the Willow creek paystreak it will be of tremendous importance to the Marshall camp.
