The desert rat is the name applied to the hun dreds of men who, by themselves, spend their lives in the lonesome places of the desert mountains of California and Nevada, prospecting for gold. Year in and year out with only a pack ,burrow or two they travel through the lonely hills, com ing to town only as they need sup plies.

FISH RUNNING
 BETTER THAN FOR
 SEVERAL YEARS

KETCHIKAN, Aug. That prac- tically all the canneries of the dis trct are ahead for this time of the season, with their packs compared with the past two years was the statement made by J. R. Beegle president of the Alaska Gamers Association, and pioneer cannery man of the Ketchikan district.
 One of the largest catches of fish taken from one trap since 1915 was brought in to the Pure Food Fish Company recently oh scow MT Beegle reported and added that dur ing the past few days, most of the canneries had been supplies with more than they could handle.
 The two great setbacks to the ,eason are the shortage of labor and the lack of transportation, which are holding up the canning industry considerably. As Mir. Beegle point cd out, although there are plenty oi fish, the canneries are filled up with canned fish and no means of trans portation or getting them out of the way. Nearly all the plants are working shorthanded and many are only able to use part of their lines so that it is not likely that a big pack will be put up this season.

DISCOVER GOLD ON YUKON BANKS
 IN RUBY LIMITS

Gold was recently discovered on the bank of the Yukon river within the limits of the town of Ruby, ac- cording to word received in the last mail The RubyRecord Citizen of July 18th contains the following ac- count of the discovery:
 Much excitement was caused here day before yesterday by the discov- cry of gold in. paying quantities about a half mile above town right on the banks of the Yukon river. George Burmeister made the dis covery and after tipping it off to Bob Leslie, Frank Hawk and Ben Keldy proceeded to get busy pan ming. The four men banned out $1300 in a few pans, and deciding this was too slow, put up section of a sluice box and shoveled in about three wheelbarrows of dirt from which they, cleaned up $2200. The gold seems to come right out of the hill and may develop into a big paying proposition. It is a well washed gold and has evidently trav- eled some distance. There is much speculation among mining men as ts where it came from and there will no doubt be number of holes put down in the 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 see 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"

Screen WiU Vindiddte Gen. Cr0aUder's Decision Sdus AdOLnh ZMkOr.

Adolph Zukor, President of the Famous Players-Lasky Corporation last Monday thanked Provost Mar. shal General Crowder for his decision to list the motion picture business among the essential industries under his work or fight law" and said that in his opinion the screen would vindicate the Provost Marshal Gen erals judgment.
 "The motion picture industry said MT. ZukoD '1s already on war basis. In making our plans at the present time for the season of 1918 19. we are deciding to produce only plays of a cheerful nature, because we believe it to be a patriotic duty that devolves at this time peculiarly upon the screen to bring comfort and courage to the heart of America But the screen is doing an even more important work. It Is interpre- ting the ideals and aims of American democracy, to the rest of the world and in order to aid the Government in this direction to our fullest abil- ity, we have decided to select only such subjects for production as will indicate to the peoples of foreign Nations the qualities and spiritual texture which have been developed in American manhood and womanhood by the institutions which we are now striving to preserve

SPORTS

Bhl lIof1 Alh ORSE IlHhD QUARTERS IN FRANCE, Aug. S. Brains and Quickness of thought are as necessary to the airmen as pluck, endurance and physical skill in aer- ial manoeuvres. The English pilot of single-seater fighter of the lat est type, while cruising all over the German lines the other day, saw be- low him three slow, old-fashioned enemy machines flying steadily west ward as though to cross the lines into British territory.
 Unfortunately, the Germans were too far off to be attacked success fully, and the British pilot figured that if they realized his presence they would fly for home and safety long before he could get within close range He therefore flew up into the clouds and then turned in the di- rection in which the enemy machines were moving.
 Judging his time, he pushed the nose of his machine downward, dived out of the clouds to the Germans be meath, and when close enough to be fairly sure of his mark, pressed the trigger of his gun A stream of lead played about the German machines. None of them returned the fire.
 Once before the pilot had heard of similar occurrence. This flashed through his mind and pulling back the control levers he scared up again into the clouds. He was only just in time, for as he vanished into the vapor three enemy scouts ap- peared. The slow machines were the bait and the British airplane was the expected prey, for its pilot was well known and feared by the Ger mans in that part of the line.
 Once he knew what the odds were against him, he no longer hesitated. Down once more out of the clouds he came, straight at the nearest scout. A short burst from his ma chine gun and the hostile machine wavered, then slowly fell into a spin, hurtling downwards and crashing far below.
 The odds were still five to one True, three of the enemy planes were slow and old-fashioned, and ta- ken alone might have been account ed for by one but the addition of two falsifying scouts manoeuvered by 5killful pilots gave the matter a different aspect. The British pilot lid not wait, but no sooner had one next, banking. sideslipping, ever try ing to reach the vulnerable part in
 he enemy's armor All the time
 he second scout was trying to se- :ure favorable position to fire at
 he attacker and the three old two ieaters were firing long range bursts IS opportunity afforded.
 For some minutes this competition ,or position continued, each party firing short bursts without definite results. Then suddenly the deciding factor arrived .ss
 Out of the sky loomed ,twaseater British fighter of. the latest type, proceeding on special errand. Be- fore the Germans had realized his arrival the new pilot steered his ma chine into the midst of the fight. A long burst from his rear gun caused one of the German fighters to stagger in its flight, then drop it's nose and leave the combat. Evident ly the pilot had been hit. Then to- gether the two British machines charged the Germans. A short skir- mish. ensued before the enemy decid- ed that discretion was the better part of valor and put their machlnes into spins to evade their adversar- ies' fire in the low Attitudes close
