 GETTING GOOD

Knute Johnson. the Big Cinema log. ger. arrived with his team yesterday afternoon for @ load of supplies for his camp. Shortly after his arrival he was busily engaged in narrating the first bear hunt of the season.
 The hunt. which was more in the nature of 8 find, was as follows About two weeks ago when Knute and his partner John Hagen were getting out some logs they ran across a bears den. bruin having fixed up a cozy place for himself for the win ter. Peering down into the hole they could see the dim outline of the bear. Going to his camp Knute got his rifle and fired at the bear. Anxious to see the effect of his shot he fast ened a candle to a long pole. light ed 1t and stuck 1t down the hole. Bruin by this time decided to come out in the open air. He looked some. what stupefied and was gazing first At one man and then the other when two well placed shots in his heud caused his demise.
 AS the result of their discovery the boys have 8 supply of prime bear meat, over fifty pounds of fat and large bear robe for their cabin floor. Johnson says that the bear looked as big as a horse when 1t emerged from his den.

EXPENSE BILL OF QUARANTINE
 FEW THOUSAND

The cost to the interior of Alas. ka for maintaining quarantine sta. tions against the influenza amounts to about $7,000 up to the present date. These figures were obtained from Dr. J. A. Sutherland, health of- ficer for the Fourth division.
 The heaviest item of expense was that of the quarantine station at the Piledriver roadhouse, amounting to 6 little more than 5000. About @1.- 100 of the seven thousand was spent at McGrath for preventative meas ures there and the balance was ex- pended in the Fairbanks precinct.
 Of the money expended one thou sand dollars was raised by public subscription in the Iditarod and two thousand from Nenana and vicinity. The balance of the amount will be made up by the territory. The cx- pense of the Rapids quarantine sta tion cannot be determined until the quarantine is raised.
 While seven thousand dollars is a considerable sum of money 1t is a cheap enough price for the preserva- tion of health and life. The health of the interior, as regards the influ- enza, speaks we'll for the stringent measures taken to safeguard the peo- pie against the ravages of the dread disease. The loss of one life could not be replaced by the amount ex. pended and the money may be con- sldered well spent

LAPS OFFERED
 MEN AND MONEY
 TO FIGHT BOLS

VLADIvOSTOK, Feb. 1O.-Reports from Omsk state that the Russian government has received an offer from the Japanese government to fur. nish men, money and arms with which the Bolsheviki element can be suppressed.
 This step was taken by Japan in view of the reports to the effect that the allies were going to withdraw their troops from Siberia and also the fear that the conference to be held on the Princess Islands would re. suit in recognition of the Bolshe- wiki.
 It Is stated that Japan will expect in return for their assistance the iron and coal concessions in the Priamur district. There is an opin. ion prevalent that Japan would pre- fer the withdrawal of the allied troops. thus giving her an opportuni. ty to come to the assistance of the Russian government. as great com. mercial benefit would accrue to Japan from furnishing this assist ance.
 It is not believed that the Russian government at Omsk will make any decision regarding the Japanese offer until 1t is ascertained just what is the allies intention regarding Si- beria. Neither Japan nor the Rus. sian government desire the recogni- tion of the Bolsheviki by the allies. The Russian government at Omsk realizes that 1t must have outside assistance If it Is to suppress the Bolsheviki uprising by force of arms.

 To blaze the trail, in days agone Was the work of the Old Sour. doughs,
 They drove the moose and caribou To the wilds of their ancient foes.
 They starved and froze. and laid their pards In that last cold bunk of the North. Where they'll remain till Kingdom Come Or Gabriel calls them forth. And those that lived knew not the day Their weary hulks might go
 Yet cinched their girth.straps up a bit, Resolved to Garry through"
 When they struck the paystreak--as many did. They sought what's never sold,
 For what they wanted most of all. Cannot be bought for gold.
 They craved g home--a truly one And gave of strength and will, Nor grudged the one who later came From the trough of their trail to fill. And oft he found. before they did. That prize so elusive of grasp.
 The chechako-comer, with hungry maw. Whose motto was ever hold fast. "
 He got up collsctions--the Sourdough paid To 90 to the dances thus staged, Till told: "Go home and groom your. self, as. Our ladies are better engaged!" The chechako man. an his lady fren Have suttinly rubbed things in On the old Sourdoughs. who blazed the trail, For them and their useless kin.
 If asked to fill one Sourdough's shoes, That parasite man with the quill
 Would starve to death, in a jiffy's space.
