Katharin Ward, the we'll, known poet of the New York Globe, in making a trip to Alaska. has been a visitor in Skagway. for the past week.
 Miss Ward is chairman of the New York Press club. Many of her poems have been set to music, ana several of them have been repro duced on Columbia and Victrola records. She has wr.tten the words and composed the music for "A Fer feet Knight" "The shamrock Ship and "Take Your Hat Off to Old Glory" and a great many of her word pictures done in verse are to be found among the latest popu- lar hits.
 Miss Ward is of a sunshiny dis position, and she is today advocating the production of sons sentiment fol the boys going "Oyer There" which will eliminate the heart throps Hhu do more to "send them away with a smile" and "a promise to well como them back when the Hun is licked" This is somewhat of 8 new departure of thought for her, as she has been heretofore of the "heart throb': school.
 In speaking of her trip Mrs Murphy, for Katharine Ward" is her pen name, said that if she could cause New York to see The Garden City. as she has Seen it, Skagway would be unable to accom- modate the hords that would flock here for rest and recreation. This she will endeayor to do, and in part she describes her trip north and ner stay in skagway as fol- lows:

RUBY MAKES 4 NEW
GOLD DISCOVERY

MuCS excitement was caused here day before yesterday by the dis covery of gold in paying quantities about a half a mile above the town right on the banks of the Yukon River. George Burmeister made the discovery and after tip ping It off to Bob Leslie, Frank Hawk and Ben Keldy proceeded to get busy. banning. The four men banned out $500 in a few pans but deciding this was too slow, put up a section of a sluice box and shoyeled in about three wheelbar- rows of dirt from which they clean ed up $22.00. The geld seems to come right out of the hill and may develop into a big paying proposl- tion. It is 8 we'll washe gold and has evidently travelled some dis tance. There is much speculation a mong mining men as to where 1t came from and there will no doubt be 8 number of holes put down in ths immediate vicinity. The old saying that "gold is where you find it may prove true in this case and we have another Dawson right here on the Yukon. It was quite a sight yesterday to Asee eight or ten of Ruby's little tots digging with penkniVes around where the men were working. Each kid came away with two or three pieces Of gold ranging in value from five to twenty cents.
 When the discovery was known in town quite stampede took place and many claims were staked. -RuDv Record Citizen.

Noted Poet Visits Alaska and
 Her Heart Goes Out to Skagwoy

low Stone Park and Yosemite val ley the trip up the inside passage
 of the Pacific is dream of beauty.
 You wind and wind your way thru
 scenes of ever changing grandeur, the quiet of the waters and the nearness of the mountain foliage gives 2 lover of nature an oppor-
 tunitY to see the colorings of the wild flowers and trees in their new
 formed foliage peculiar to this coun' try. The mountain ash In crimson flame, the fire weed
 which softly cloaks the noun tain side, is dream of wonder in the distance to the travellers curious eyes. The abundance of pine and spruce, here and there a hemlock tree-the silence of your mirrored streams through the white pass, reflecting again in new splendor the beauty of the high .peaks,-words cannot do justice to this picture. l 1 have travelled all over the world ano have never seen anything that com pares with this reflection in your Alaskan waters. Tourists who take nothing but the boat trip make a great mistake. The accommoda- tions at Skagway are excellent the meals and service at the Pull len Hotel, where I am living is all that one could ask for and much more than you anticipate, consid- ering the inconyenieces at which everything is brought into the coun' try We have an idea in New York that things are crude and uncom- fortable, but on the contrary one can travel with perfect comfort
 Here in Skagway, in this grand valley the approach to God seems SO near, The sky in its splendor reflects the beauty of His eyes. The snowy clouds seem the hem of his white garments.-Here "He sure fly moves in a mysterious way-His wonders to perform" His glory flamss from sun and star - the lamps of His heavens cheering the lonely watches of the night-light- ing for us His greet mountains 1n iliying altars that all acclaim the living glory of His name
 From my windows in the Texas room m the hotel, I seem to be sitting on the footstool of this great snow capped mountain, the glacier in it's magnificent setting de lying the heat of many centuries oi summer suns. =.

WHEN SONGS WILL NOT

By Katherin Ward.

 Then songs will not be dreams I' in cur tapestry Of grey
 A silver thread lives on Then we may say, Our day is 'oiest
