THE FLIGHT TO ALASKA
'(Seattle Post-Intelligencer.)

'(Seattle Post-lntelligencer)
 Array ayiators have successfully ac- eomplSaed the air journey from the Atlantic Coast to the Alaskan Coast at Nome. It was an adventure into and oSer new fields, over much of the sparsely-settled districts of Western Canada and the mountain wilderness of British Columbia and Alaska, where repair shops and supply stations are uncommon, and an accident would have meant danger and hardship, if not death. Hundreds of miles were traversed by these four army planes over rough, broken, mountainous, primeval wilderness where no human life existed, without accident, the planes and their crews landing at Nome in good condition.
 From the standpoint of pioneering a difficult air route the performance is as notable as the recent air journey of British slapes over Central Africa To the gostedice service it opens up the possibaity>of. shortening the line Of mail communication with Alaska and opening an, ai,smeeantile service for sNall packages. It means the bringing of the great Northern terri tory iato closer communication with theStates. It is, a splendid accomplish meat for.Alaska, and brings to the na- tiou:the realization that the territory is not so remote after all.

ODD GIFTS FOR PRESIDENTS
Many and Various Tributes OF Attec-
tion Have Been Received by Chief
Executives.

Early presidents Of the United States
received strange gifts during their
terms as executives, the strangest OF
them all being, perhaps, the cheese
sent to Thomas Jefferson, with the ad-
miring inscription, "the greatest cheese
in America for the greatest man in
America" 1t was conveyed to Wash
ington by a six-horse team. Jefferson
insisted upon paying for it, and it last
ed for whole year.
Andrew Jackson was the recipient
Of such gifts as whole hog from
Kentucky, whisky from Pennsylvania.
beef from New York and cheese that
weighed half ton or more from New
England. The Blue reom in the White
House contains the most famous OF the
gifts received by American presidents,
the golden mantel clock presented to
Washington by Lafayette, who received
it from napoleon. In the Green room
is the Gobelin tapestry, made. by a
process which is now lost art, which
the Emperor of Austria gave Mrs
Grant.

FOUND NEW LAND OF GOLD
New York Mining Man Reports Rich
Discoveries Made in the Mines
of Colombia.

A new gold region has been discov.
cred in Colombia, according to ]. V
Priest, a mining man, who arrived al
New York from Santa Marta. Colom-
bia.
Mr., Priest said that some time ago
he was told by Frenchman. who said
he was a government employee. of
fabulous wealth that lay hidden in he
mines Of Colombia. Mr.. Priest. nc.
companied by his wife and 6. t..
Logue, a mining engineer, visited
Colombia recently and spent his time
In visiting various sections.
After landing at Cartagna, Mr..
Priest said, he and his companions
went up the Magdalena river $50 miles
and disembarked going overland
through mountainous country for 65
miles.
At the end of the journey, Mr.. Priest
said, they found vast gold fields which
had never been actively developed
because Of the absence of the proper
machinery. He said this is accounted
for by the lack Of transit facilities, it
being most difficult matter to ship
material Of any kind to this point.

Income Tax-Did You
Figure Yours This Way?

"There need be but little
trouble to figure income tax. In
the first place it may be work
ed out by algebra, astronomy,
trigonometry of syntaX and
then your answer may be cor
rect and it may not. If your
income is $2400 a year and you
have a diamond ring and an
automobile, and are married to
a brunette girl twenty-slX
years old, you take the amount
of your income and add your
personal property, subtract
your street number, multiply
by your wife's height and di-
vide by your telephone num-
Der. If you have a child in
your family you subtract 5000
from your income, add the a
mount Of your personal proper
ty, multiply by your waist mea-
sure, subtract the size of your
collar and your child's age,
multiply by the amount you
have given the church during
the yearand divide by the mum
Der Of your automobile license
tag. If there is . second child
you deduct $403 from your in
come, add the weight and age
Of the child, divide by the date
of your birth, multiply by the
size Of your hat and subtract
the weight Of YOUR mother-in
law. After you get it all fig
ured out you won't have to pay
any taxes of any name or ma
ture, for they will have you in
the BOBBY hatch and strapped
down.

REAL GENIUSES NOT "QUEER"
For instance, Taking insufficient
Nourishment Cannot Be Taken as
Mark of BriIliancy.

The legend that Meredith lived on
he wrote his masterpieces is pure
myth, writes st. John Ervine in the
Manchester (Eng.) Guardian. He was
particularly addicted to the pleasures
of the table and could not have writ
ten his books on diet OF oatmeal. His
letters are full of references to food
ana wine and, like Doctor Johnson, he
contemplated writing a cookery book.
He had the capacity, which every man
of genius has, of being highly interest
ed in the most ordinary things.
1t is your third-rate person who is
not interested in food and drink and
the common things of life. Your man
of genius demands that these things
shall be so attended to that he can
appreciate them at their best. More
over, since eating and drinking are
necessary to all of us, he wishes them
TO be done in such a way that he shall
not be diverted from his job by COM
plants of the clumsy and insufficient
arrangements for them.
Herbert Spencer complained of the
stupid spouts that manufacturers put
on iugS-So that it is impossible to
pour liquid out of them without spill
ing it-and he went to the trouble to
invent paper fastener because he
was dissatisfied with those in common
use. A third-rate person would have
been much too superior to think Of
such things

Merchants in the PHILIPPINES.

That a merchant does not need TO
have or retain capital investment in
an established business before he car
be admitted to the Philippine islands
is the giSt Of a decision handed down
in the case of japanese merchant
who sold his business and came to
Manila for the purpose Of engaging in
business in the islands. He was de
nicd admission by the customs author
ities on the ground that he did not be
long to the class of merchants exempt,

Cold! d!-Sure.

On one Of our most recent cold Sat-
urdays the tenderfoot rank boy scouts
of Terre Haute made an all-day hike
along the Wabash. They were de-
scribing the hike for the benefit ot
some Of their most interested friends.
They had described the city blasts
from the river, the frozen ground and
the various sensations produced on
their spinal columns without winning
what they regarded sufficient sympa-
thy from their listeners. Just as they
were most disappointed their execu-
tive took part. "Why it was so cold
that we had to break the ice off the
pancake batter between frying cakes"
he calculated.
And then the audience was moved
to speech.-Indlanapolis News.

USE DOGS As SMUGGLERS
Animals Aid Illicit Dealers in Bring.

those who make living by means
of Illicit importation to the United
States of liquor and drugs. That in
novation in line running came to light
at Ell PasO. Tex, recently when a
Mexican river guard shot dog

Rio Grande with four bottles of
tequila, Mexican liquor Of cactus
distillation, tied across his back.
The dog as the story of the serv-
ice to his master is told by United
States customs men, had been max
ing nightly trips between Juarez and
Ell Paso with contraband goods for
several months. The strange, but
regular, actions Of the animal first
were noted by customs officers about
two months ago. Beginning at two
O'Clock in tire morning, the dog would
begin his operations Signal lights
flashed by cOnfederateS in the gang of
smugglers stationed on each side of,
the river always preceded the dogs

the Mexican side of the river, the ami
