she can possibly afford. She prefers to do the
work Of arrangement herself knowing that her
own personality will be suggested to those who

SEATTLE IS BUSY;; STREETS CROWDED
Ms. Brevig Writes That Spirit City Is Enjoying Boom of Very
 Large Proportions.

Writing to her husband from Vancouver, under date of August IA, Mrs. J. A. Brevig, who les, Nenana for the Outside few we. ago, tells of having made a visit to Seattle recently, where she found the war spirit very much in t,i- dence and the streets :rowd"d with people as never before. The war has transformed old Vancouver into very lively place, she says, but the activity there does not begin go compare with that of the Puget Sound city. Another thing that she noticed in Seattle was the very strict application of food regula- tions, the restrictions on the Ameri- can side being somewhat more rigid than in Canada
 Among the Northerners seen in Seattle were Ed McInnes, Jack Green and others. Charles Heron had left Seattle and when last re- ported was working at his trade some place in Georgia. Mrs. Me Gibney was seen on the street in Vancouver.
 The traffic on Seattle's busy thoroughfares is such, Mrs. Brevig says, that it is serious undertaking to attempt to cross from one side to the other

HUNTERS PREPARE
 FOR DUCK DINNER

The launch Overland under the command of Roy Lund will leave Nenana at midnight sharp, bound for the Minto Lake country with a party of Nenana nimrods. They are making for the duck pastures adjacent to the Minto Lake country and expect to return with the limit allowed to each one under the game laws.
 The party leaving is composed of Dr. Myers, Andy Hoey, Tom Mat thews, Ed Jamieson and Larry O'Keefe. They will probably return to town tomorrow night loaded down with the toothsome birds. All of those in the party are known to be crack shots and they will, no doubt, do fearful execution in the ranks of the ducks and geese.

GID BUILDINGS
 AT TOMBSTONE
 RECALL BIG DAYS

TOMBSTONE, Ariz.-The Bird Cage opera house, the Can-Can rest aurant, the Red Light saloon and the Tucson stage office remain as relics of Tomstone's one time glory as mining camp. These old build ings were once the scenes of the pioneer Arizona mining camp but are now occupied by bats and are slowly falling into decay.
 The Bird Cage opera house was the most famous in the territory. It is rambling, two-story structure with the glass in the rough board front broken by the elements. A long bar occupies one end of the building, while the piano players raised platform faces it at the oppo site end. It was on this platform that the famous sign hung which read: Do not shoot the piano player He is doing the best he can" A gallery extends around three sides of the opera house and the stage occupies the fourth side. On this stage the most famous vari- ety performers from San Francisco appeared in the old days. Litho- graphs announcing their coming still hang on the walls of the opera house the ink still bright upon them. A dumb waiter connects the bar with the gallery above where drinks were served at tables placed in each of the little rooms which open onto the big dancing floor. Many kill ings have occurred in the Bird Cage and it has been the scene of a num- Der of western stories of frontier life.
 At the Can-Can restaurant steaks once sold for $5 each and men waited Tn line to be served, at the height of the Tombstone gold boom. The Red Light saloon was gambling house and the discarded roulette and faro layouts may be seen stack ed in the rear of the big building with its broken bar and mahogany fixtures. The stage office is an adobe building with a corral flank ing it and it was there that the stage from Tucson pulled in each day and the early settlers received their mail from the outside world Another relic of old Tombstone is the monument erected to Ed Scheff- lein the founder of Tombstone and the man who gave it his name. The monument is built of boulders from Scheffleins's first mine.
 A cowboy in the Panhandle told Schefflein that he would not find gold but a tombstone in his quest of a gold mine in the Huachuca mountains. Schefflein found gold and named the town of Tombstone, remembering his friends prediction. When he died his body was returned here and the tombstone erected at the spot where he made the gold strike that caused great rush to this camp.
