Artist W. Photographer.

Early In the submarine campaign,
one Of our boats was given coat of
camoufage, and when the vessel sailed
from its pier In the North river. New
York. the owners sent photographer
two or three piers down the river to
photograph the ship as she went by.
He took the picture, writes A. Russell
Bond, in his Inventions of the Great
War;" but when the negative was de-
veloped, much to his establishment, he
found that the boat was not all on the
plate. In the finder of his camera. he
had mistaken heavy hand of black
paint for the stern of the ship. quite
overlooking the real stern. which was
painted grayish white. The artist
had fooled the photographer and at II
distance of not more than 200 or 300
yards.

The completeness with which the

that were found still retaining their

from the thousands of volumes that
can be replaced the ruin contains the

would be impossible to replace them.

LUMBER COMPANIES WIN.

The case of the Empson Packing
Co. against the Lamb-Davis and
Great Northern Lumber Companies,
formerly decided in superior court in
favor of the companies, was recently
passed upon by the supreme court,
and again the decision is in favor of
the lumber companies.
The case was one in which the pack
ing company sued to recover some
thing over fourteen thousand dollars
damages, setting up that contract
had been entered into by the Lamb
Davis company which had been as
sumed by their successors, the Great
Northern Lumber Co., to furnish
boxes, and sought to recover alleged
damages. 1t seems that such con-
tract had been entered into by the
Lamb-Davis company. but that it had
been abrogated by the packing com
pany through correspondence with
the lumber company seeking and
amending the original contract until
the courts held that the original had
been abandoned and there was no
meeting Of minds, written or othet-
wise.

ANIMALS POINT OUT RICHES
pectors Have Been Aided in Search
for Earth|s Treasures.

A very large gold nugget Is said to
have been found the other day In a
wild bees nest in Australia. The story
seems likely enough, for Australia has
yielded all the really monster nuggets
to date-the "Welcome" weighed
2.l95 troy ounces and was valued at
S43, 50O-and one of the biggest was
discovered by a prospector who
stuhhed his toe against projecting
angle OF it.

Last Of Calapooias Dies,

Down around Cottage Grove, Ore.
the old-timers are only discussing what
they remember Of the CalapOoia Indian
tribe. The last specimen of the tribe.
Sam Fern, went to the happy hunting
grounds few days ago and the peo-
pie at Cottage Grove are wondering
what will become Of the land which
the Calapooia tribe was using. Some
Of 1t Is exceptionally fertile land. The
tribe got Its name from the range
Of mountains in that vicinity, or vice
versa, and the Calapooia were always
peaceful band This tribe went
through the great fire which swept the
coast range about a century ago. when
the only way the Indians could save
themselves was to remain in the rivers
for several days. The fire was so in
tense that the water became warm.
Calapooia Indians declared that the
wild animals also fed to the river and
wolves and deer padded around to-

FACTS ABOUT ALASKA.

Alaska has nearly as many varie-
ties of climate as can be found in the
Eastern and Middle eastern states.
Manufacturers of pulp and paper
in British Columbia and Alaska have
little to fear from each other and
much to gain in the common develop
ment of the Pacific coast region.
The permanent snow fields of Alas
ka only cluster round the crest lines
of the highest mountain ranges, as
they do in the Swiss Alps, and arc
less than one per cent of Alaska's
total area.
The Act of Congress of February
l, 1905, allows the exporting of pulp
wood and wood pulp from the Nation
al Forests of Alaska, and the Act of
June A, 1897, authorizes the sale of
timber on all National Forests.
The transition in ten years of the
United States from an exporter of
newsprint to an importer, securing
two thirds Of its supply abroad sub
ject to any restrictions which may b.
to the interest of the exporter to i'm
pose, will make it to the interest of
paper users to patronize the manu-
facturers of Alaskan pulpwood.
AS any pulp mill in southeastern
Alaska would be built on tide water
and as the tidal variation is about Is
to 20 feet there would be no difficulty
in satisfactorily disposing of the
