KNITTING NOTE
 OF RED CROSS

The Knitting Committee of tine Red Cross announces that all the socks that went out on last weeks shipment were up to specifications and standard in every way. There still seems to be some misunder standing about the length, of the sweaters, many of them being re turned under length.
 When the sweater is all finished, except for being sewn up on the sides, the long strip should mea- sure 53 inches, when laid out on the floor and not stretched at all. Of this total of 53 inches, 25 inches each are taken up by the front and back, to the neck hole. Three inches is the measure across the neck hole. The completed garment should mea. sure 25 inches from the bottom of the neck hole to the bottom of the sweater. Of this 25 inches. four are purling and twenty-one plain knit. ting. If the measurement is taken from the shoulder. it should be 26R inches. for both front and back, or 53 inches in all.
 Mir. Max Behlke has kindly sharp ened three pairs of shears for the sewing committee of the Red Cross, to aid them in cutting out the ma terials for pajamas and bed-shirts now being made by the ladies oi Fairbanks.

MEATLESS DAY
 AT BAD TIMES

LONDON, Feb. 14.-Because Scotch fishermen will not go fishing on Sun days, the choice of Tuesday as Lon don's official meatless day is de- clared by London fish dealers to be an oficiaf blunder. The dealers say that the public, unable to buy meat on Tuesdays. will try to make good the deficiency with fish. At this season of the year the major portion of London's fish supply comes from Scotland. For the reason that Scotch fishermen won't fish on Sundays there is no fish from Scotland landed here on Mondays. The fish caught D. Scotch fishermen on Mondays get here too late for London's consump- tion on Tuesdays.
 Cornish fishermen will not catch fish on Sundays either. They carry their scruples against Sunday labor further than do the Scotch fisher men.

That the postal revenues may be to further restrict the amount of money which may be sent by postal money orders to Norway, Sweden, Denmark, The Netherlands or Swift zerland.
 To the effect of the above, Post master T. H. Deal has been advised that money orders payable in the above countries named should not be issued on the application of one remitter for greater amount than twenty dollars within one calendar month.
 The postal department realizes that this protection is imperative. Recently the amount was cut down to S100. Later it was reduced to the sum of $50, and the latest order reduces it to s2O It may be found necessary to eliminate all money orders to these countries in the future.
 Unusual diligence will be neces- sary to prevent evasion Of the spirit of this rule by two or more remit ters purchasing orders in favor of the same payee. Should this occa- sion develop. it is MT.

DESPlSED YUCCA PLANT
 TO BE STOCK FATTENER

LAS CRUCES. N. M.. Feb. 1.-The yucca plant. despised by many farm CTS. which grows over thousands of acres of New Mexico lands. may prove to be a valuable cattle feed. Experiments are now being made at the state agricultural college here with a view to determining just how mixtures of yucca and other feeds are utilized by stock. If the expe- riments prove successful, vast and cheap store of feed will be opened up to stockman of this region.
 Our idea of a get-rich-quick scheme right now would be to have 10000 hens and have each hen laying an egg day.

SUNS ECLIPSE
 ATTRACTION
 FOR COLORADO

COLORADO SPRINGS. Feb. 13.- In order to afford the nations scien- lists an opportunity to witness the total eclipse of the sun on June g.. Spencer Penrose, of Colorado Springs, president of the Pikes Peak Automo- bile Highway company. has invited several hundred astronomers of the United States, Canada and Mexico to view the phenomenon from the sum- init of Pikes Peak. 14,109 feet above the sea level. Pikes Peak is in the direct line of the total eclipse and officials of the Naval Almanac office of the United States Naval Observa- tory, Washington, say that it is one of the country's most favorable loca- tions for eclipse expeditions.
 No such extensive shadow path has passed over the country since the eclipse of 1878, when view of the corona was obtained by Professor Langley and his party of United States Naval observers on Pikes Peak
 The automobile highway up .the famous peak will be used for trans portation of the various scientific in struments necessary for observing and recording the eclipse.
 The eclipse will last about 100 seconds at Pikes Peak. While cross ing the United States in 47 minutes it will pass through Colorado Springs at 4:23 D. m., Mountain time.
 COLORADO SPRINGS, Feb. 13.- Arrangements are being made at Salida, settlement about fifty miles east of here, for the accommodation of a considerable number of scien- lists who will come to this section next June to observe a total eclipse of the sun.
 An observatory is being built here for government observers who will view the eclipse. Next May the scientists will begin to arrive to make their preliminary observations, set up instruments and prepare to make the most of the brief time that the eclipse will be total.
 Denver, Colorado, and Green River, Wyoming, are other points where observations will be made of the eclipse.

pledges signed and sent in there were received 167 weekly reports from those who pledged themselves to make a report each week, a showing of considerably less than 50 per cent.
 The reports sent in show that there were 2,812 meatless meals, 2,109 wheatless meals. 1892 waste. less meals. and 160 families reported a saving on sugar. The number of reports sent in is very discourag ging to the committee, as 1t shows that the public is not alive to the i'm portance of the situation.

 q. A call has come for experi- enced Packers and MT. B. w. John son of Fairbanks advises me that you can furnish the names Of a con- siderable number of men who would be glad to respond to this call.
 "2. It is quite likely that there may be in the next draft from Al aska number of young men who have had more or less packing ex- perience, and if so, l should very much like to secure their names. They could come here in advance of their call and voluntarily enlist if they so wished and by so doing get into the Pack Train service. There is also a call for men qualified to act as instructors at the various Remount Depots throughout the country where Pack Trains will be organized.
 a. The one difficulty in furnishing these instructors is due to the fact that most men of practical expert. ence in packing have not used the army regulation aparejo pack and consequently are not qualified to in struct unless and until they have spent a month or so on the army methods. For that purpose we have a school for Packers here under the supervision of an old time Army Pack Master who has also packed in Alaska and elsewhere but who uses nothing but the Army regula

WILL BE BUSY COMING SEASON
 AT LNENCO0D

This camp Is experiencing more activity this winter than any other portion of Alaska. Prospectors are busily engaged in numerous locali. ties endeavoring to develop pay creeks where they have formerly had but good and indifferent pros. poets, and are having material en. couragement.
 On Amy creek there are several outfits prospecting. Colbert & Gus. tafson have bedrocked two holes on the War association and found enough in the last hole toS start drifting. On the upper end of the creek Nelson & Summerville are pre-. pairing for extensive summer opera. tions, and a number of outfits are prospecting in their neighborhood Kelly and partners will have out a substantial dump of high grade dirt by spring. and Samson & Co. are hoisting the richest dirt ever taken out on Amy. It is safe to say that the spring cleanup on Amy creek alone will amount to s150,0OO.
 Another tributary of Livengood that is showing up to the good is Lucky. Sharp & Perry have good pay developed, and two other out fits have good prospects. both being at the present time engaged in sink ing working shafts for the summer operations. The Godfrey drill was engaged in prospecting on Lucky but unluckily lost the drill bit, so had to suspend until it could be re- covered.
 On Livengood proper there are no new developments. All the plants are working, being either engaged in taking out dumps or opening up for summer work. Shortage of labor is the only thing that will curtail the production for the coming sea. son.
 Over on the other side of the Money Knob" there is a large amount of prospecting work being prosecuted, and the showing is very gratifying to the owners. Cascaden's s drill is begging away every day, and will have at least a months work before it will be shown how ex. tensive the pay streak is on the North Fork of the Tolovana. Geo Wheeler took large load of sup. plies over to his ground adjoining the Hudson holdings Friday, and will commence preparations immedi ately for extensive summer opera tions. He intends 10 be ready to catch the very first water, as the supply is rather short during the summer. Stone & Verdier have cut of substantial dimensions to finish up this season, and Hudson Bros have several years work mapped out If the drill discovers drifting ground in the deep channel the Tolo vana between Olive and Cleary creeks will be larger producer than the Livengood valley, and the present indications are that such will be the case.
 A number of our oldtimer> have been stampeding to Gunnison creek in the Rampant country, of late, and the reports from there are very good. s2.50 ground having been dis covered on three claims. This re. port is verified by prospectors grub staked from here.

TWO MORE ARE PROVIDED FOR
 FROM HUNGER

Yesterday afternoon there was do- hated to the orphan fund the sum of $25O. This money came from three people. Two of them have obligated themselves to support an orphan for one year and have sent in their first weekly installment. The other has been supporting an or. plan for some months past and is unflagging in his interest.
 It costs s36.50 to support an or phan for a year. This amount to be paid in lump sum is difficult for many at this time of the year. The solution is solved by those who have an earnest desire to help. by the payment of the small sum of seventy. five cents weekly. This, in itself, is so small sum that it will not be missed; in the aggregate it will amount to the required sum to sup port an orphan for year. The standing of the fund and those con. tributing are as follows:
