 member of the firm of Millholland < Hough, who had conducted an ex- tensive bond brokerage business in Spokane. This firm had the conf dence of the community and more particularly that of Jim Callahan, of the Occur d'Alene mines and owner of the Interstate Callahan mine.
 and to whom they sold s351, ,000 worth of forged bonds. Millhollani committed suicide and the partner, Hough, who had entered the pact with him and had failed to go through with his part of it, had sub sequently surrendered to the police and made a complete confession. In , addition to the s35l, 900, Callahan had endorsed a note for them for S0,000, the note now being held by the Spokane & Eastern Trust company. The total defalcation will reach S500,00O.

 In closing, wish to say that the indications are that many of the old timers will flock back to Alaska this year, as they all express the same opinion that the Outside holds no future for them. All steamers coming North are sold out for some time ahead and it was only through the courtesy of the officials of the Pacific Steamship company that I succeeded in getting a berth on the s. s.

The popular ex-pugilist, appears in a fast three-round battle in the picture.
 The picture is taken from "The Chink and the Child, the first of the "Limehouse Nights" stories by Burke. Its scenes are laid in the dim lit alleys of the London China town." where the girl, Lucia, twelve years old, having been beaten al- most to death by her father, the prize-fighter, Battling Burrows, is taken in and cared for by a young Chinaman, who had watched her sufferings silently for long time.
 The father discovers the hiding place of the girl and tragedy fol- lows. Miss Gish takes the part of the girl and is said to be seen at her best in the unusual role.
 The admission charge will be one dollar. with the usual additional charge for reserved seats.

the scarcity Of acorns and hickory
nuts, squirrels are compelled to eat
pine burrs and dogwood berries.
This accounts for their being hard to
find.
- The lack Of rain has made the
woods so dry that It Is impossible to
creep up on the squirrels before they
see the hunter and no large bags
are reported in this section.
Local sportsmen fear that many of
the animals will starve to death this
