WANTS PATENT TO
 SITE BEFORE RIVER
 WASHES IT AWAY

In October, 1912, T. H. Beaumont of Fort Yukon, made application foI patent on his trading site at Fort Yu- kon. The ground was surveyed and taken up with the general land office through the proper channels, but for some reason the issuance of the pat. ent has been held up.
 Now the land office in Fairbanks receives q communication from MT Beaumont saying that unless the pat ent is issued soon there will be noth- ing to issue it on except the Yukon river, as the channel has changed its course so much that it is washing away the ground on which he origin ally applied for a patent.
 The question arises: If he gets patent on the original survey and it is in the course of the river, can he build fence around it?

THf STORY OF
 ST. VALENTINE
By MARGARET SLOAN Age 8-Grade IV.l

Long, long ago there lived a priest named Valentine.
 He liked to help people when they were sick. He would go to see them and would take them fruit and books to read. They began to like him very much. At last he got so old and feeble that he could not come to see them. When he heard that any one was sick he would send note of happiness and gladness.
 After a while they did not get any more notes. They went to hSo cabin and found that he had died. From that day to this we send lit tie messages of love to each other on his birthday, the fourteenth of February.

ALASKA THE LAND SOMI: PEOPLE SAID
 COST TOO MUCH
By ALICE DAGGETT (Age ll-Grade V.)

Alaska was bought from Russia in 1867. It was bought at night for $7,2OOOOO by William H. Sew ward. It was bought at night be- cause the United States had been waiting so long for Russia to make up it's mind to sell Alaska. When Russia decided, William H. Sew ard did not even want to wait till morning so they opened up all the big houses and bought Alaska. Most people thought that was too much to pay for country so far off. But now Alaska has paid for itself in fish and in furS and skins many times over.
 Alaska is the most important territory that the United States owns and is almost twelve times the size of New York. Alaska IS one-sixth of the land owned by the United States.
 There are q good many hot springs up north. They are sup posed to be caused by volcanoes and the water has a very odd taste. In the northern part they uss reindeers to pull the sledS and they go ten miles an hour, where horse goes five miles an hour. The rein deers were shipped from Siberia and Sweden. They are used for food and skins also.
 In the south they use dog teams to carry the mail and freight.
 Whales are caught for the whale bone and for the oil. Many men risk their lives to get them.
 Seals are very easily caught and so the government protects them by not letting people catch as many as they want. Only one company can catch any and they have to pay to catch a certain amount a year. They have two skins. The oute[ one has short hair and is not used. The inner one has soft fur on it, and is sent to London where seals are dressed.
 The salmon is the most valuable fish that Alaska has. They are can ned and sent to the states.
 Alaska has a varied climate. Most of the mountains are covered with snow the whole year around. But in the valleys it is warm enough to raise many agricultural things.
 Mt. Mckinley is the highest mountain in North America.
 The glaciers are very beautiful The ice breaks off in pieces and floats away. If you are on a boat you will see the engineers are very careful to keep away when the ice breaks of.

SAVING POSTAGE
 STAMPS KEEPING
 MANY INTERESTED

On the morning of Lincoln's birthday, the editor of the Gateway, gave the school an excellent talk on "stamps"--presenting each pupil with copy of the Lincoln Centen- nial stamp as a souvenir.
 The talk was especially appreci- ated Ry the stamp collectors of the third, fourth and fifth grades.
 Harry Revell has the largest gen eral collection.
 After listening to the talk the pupils were asked to write an essay on postage stamps and the follow ing one was selected for publica- tion:

 (Age 9-Grade V.)
 Stamps
 Letters were first carried by run ners. They would carve their let ters in rock. Later they used mud got of the river Nile. They put it in bag made of cloth so it would not break.
 Queen Victoria had the first stamps made. They were made in l840. In the United States they paid twenty-five cents to get let ter carried. At first anyone who happended to go that way carried the letter. The postmaster wrote his name where our stamps are put. Germany was the last country to use stamps.
 In Panama they have one-half cent stamps only they have to pay two and one-half cents to get a let ter to the United States.
 The three most valuable stamps came from the Island of Maurius. The Czar of Russia, the King of Spain, and the King of England own them. They cost $7,50O each. They are made from wood cut.
 At first they did not have en- velopes. They took sheet of paper and folded it in the middle and on one side wrote what they had to say then folded in into an envelope.
 In England they use war stamps.
 The Chinese people write their address in Chinese letters and the men in the United States postoftice cannot read the address. So they have 8 Chino man in the postoftice and the letters written in Chinese letters are tied together and the Chino man sends them to whom thav are sent.

Only the other day q little, lame

been q hard one and 1t was evident
that she did not feel physically fit.
When at last she reached patron

the woman said to her pleasantly:

what It meant to him and them.
Nor is appreciation confined to peo-

brilliant piano solo required that the
cover Of the Baby Grand be raised.
When the diva returned to the stage
for her next number, she turned with
the simplicity Of a girl to put down

stepped forward and took the heavy

thought was in every ones mind.
