Alice Brady, who is now at work for
Realart on her next starring produc-
ton. Voice of the Blood" is known
as one of the best dressed women on
the screen, despite the fact that she
refuses to follow the dictates of fash

well dressed you must wear what be-

every week, an officer will visit
the station with a supply of med

discharge left. After the expir-

him to call in person, after a week

so that the receipt required by
the war department can be filled

Colonel Williams, explains that
the reason all medals are not dis
tributed in this manner was that
so many Of the discharges of the
men who took part in the major
operations are incomplete, and
records at Washington must be
consulted before issuing the battle

PROSPECTORS ARE MAKING HUNT FOR
 KANI|SHNA LEADS

Considerable prospecting is in progress this summer in the Kan ltishna district, according to recent
 arrivals in Nenana from that section of Alaska. It is estimated that there
 are at least thirty-five men in the hills at the present time engaged lin a systematic search for gold and Isilver lodges, and more are expected before the season is much farther advanced. Several good leads are in process of development, a number Iof promising prospects have been located, and there is at least one imine producing ore. While not great deal is known iof the plans of Tom Aitken, who took out upwards of 500 or 900 tons of galena ore during the past winter, recent developments seem to indicate that he plans even more extensive operations in the near fu-
 ture, and that he may make his headquarters in the Kantishna in- Istead of the kuskokwim. One of
 the things that points to such a move is the recent transfer of the Aitken assay plant from Nixon Fork i to the Aitken property in the Kan tishna, where it has been set up by Assayer c. E. Beraud. More ore, it now appears, was ex- tracted from the Aitken mine during the winter than was anticipated early in the spring. It was reported that not more than 700 tons of ore had been delivered at Roosevelt from the mine, and it was thought that it might run considerably less than
 that. Members of the crew of the
 steamer Reliance, however, estimate
 that the pile of ore at the landing ]
 would weigh at least 800 tons, and !
 possibly more. The Reliance took :;
 away 333 tons, and it made a very |
 small hole in the big pile of sacks
 awaiting shipment. There is be-
 lieved to be at least 500 tons left.
 About the biggest news received
 from the Kantishna lately is the an
 nouncement that J. A. Haney has i taken a lease and option on the
 property owned by Charles McGon-
 igal. Details of the deal are not i known, but in view of the fact that | it was Haney who induced Aitken 1 to take over the Quigley property,
 it is thought that he will speedily
 have operations started on his latest
 acquisition. MT. Haney is a firm
 believer in the substantial character of the Kantishna country, and to / him is due much of the credit for getting things started.
 The usual placer operations will be in progress in the district this summer, in addition to the hard ( rock activities, and it is possible that some large-scale mining will be l

THE MAN ON HORSEBACK.
(From the Emporia Gazette.)

(FrOm the EmpOrta GaZette.)
Every days events are contribut-
ing to the irresistible strength Of the
Wood boom. Wood epitomizes safety
from all the dangers that beset the
land. He is incarnate law and order
in a world drifting toward anarchy.
"Other refuge we have none Hangs
Il helpless soul on thee" sings the
country to Leonard Wood. 1t doesn't
ask how he stands ON the tariff; it
isn't interested in his attitude toward
the farmers land bank nor does it
care where he stands on the initiative,
referendum, and recall. While Low
den's friends are spending money in
printers ink and pussyfooters, and
where the favorite sons have sent
their o%utriders and heralds to pro-
claim the glories Of their unknown
candidates. Wood clubs are being or
gained, and Wood sentiment is
crystallizing everywhere.
Today Leonard Wood is the politi.
cal man of the hour. More than any
other American he represents the
need Of the times. One reads this in
Washington, one reads 1t in the mid
die west. and In the south and in a
score Of places high and low. He is
the epitome of the need of America
today.

rice fields a special order had to he
issued permitting the shooting of ducks
at night. MeadOwlarks In South Caro-
lima were found to be inhicting severe
damage to sprouting cor and oats. In
order to afford proper relief, says the
chief If the survey, permission has
been given farmers to drive the birds
from the fields with shotguns, If nee
essary. Complaints were received
from Louisiana that night herons were
a menace to the frogging industry, and
1t was suggested to the bureau that
permission be granted to shoot them.

herons is crawfish; not a single frog

amined.

Other birds not protected under the
migratory bird treaty act. were also
reported to be inflicting severe damage
in some instances. Red-winged black
birds in Ohio were found to be very
destructive of sweet corn and ever OF

tive for small fields. were devised, but

because 1t will be up to the Northwest
to furnish the discrepancy of wheat.
There is good money in wheat prop
erly raised. OF course the weather has
much to do with 1t, but wheat Is the
standard Of value In all the Northwest.
Without wheat we should go bankrupt.
Many farmers think that they will
not sow wheat. but what can they sow
which will do any better? In some
places they can put In ORR and there
is much talk Of live stock. but owing
to the scarcity Of labor and the COM
parative ease with which wheat Is
handled and harvested. there Is moth
ing more profitable as a usual thing
than to grow wheat but grow it prop
erly and probably.
1t is folly to argue that by reducing
the wheat crop we can make more
money. What would 1t profit any man
IL he had little or no wheat to sell at
a high price? He would have to buy
back his bread and -four from a few
farmers who perhaps would make a
little money.

gain II made from the use Of formal
