Eurs All Her Fortune.

alaska produces 4 large variety of
beautiful and valuable furs upon
land" says Andrew ]. Stone in the
Century. at has Is varieties of bears,
six species of fox-black. blue, cross,
red, silver and white-and all COM
mon land furs. The skins of it's foxes
are of the highest quality and are
larger than those produced in any
other country. The Alaska moose is
the largest land animal found on the
western hemisphere. The meat is as
choice as the best of beef and the
skin makes excellent footwear and is
much worn during the winter months
The caribou, like the reindeer, lives
almost exclusively upon MOSES, and
inhabits nearly all parts of the coun-
try except the southern coast country
They are found in large herds and
supply man with millions of pounds
of meat.

COULDN'T LEAVE EMILY OUT
Peculiar Reason Why Elderly Spinster
Just Had to Attend the
Funeral.

Word has come to the mid-ViCtorian
lady that an old friend of her moth
er's had died suddenly in her home in
Maine. 1t was her duty to break the
sad news to two elderly spinsters,
cousins of the dear departed ''auntie."
She found Miss Susan at home, tend
ing to her pet canary. Miss Susan is
rs, but spry and alert, ready for any
emergency. Miss Emily, five years
older, was out motoring with a kindly
benefactress. The slow tears of old
age trickled down Miss Susan's cheeks
at the word that another of her gener-
alton had passed away. And then,
with a quick transition, she began ex-
cited plans for attending the funeral,
which involved a trip by boat to Port
land and a long and arduous ride in
a day coach. But the thought of all
this, coupled with midsummer heat,
did not daunt the little lady. She
would GO.
Z But, at least, Miss Susan" urged
the messenger, you'll not take Miss
Emily with you.n
And, my dear" said the lady to
the. woman, when she told her story
over cold lunch, "what do you sup
pose Miss Susan said? Seriously. in
her slow drawl, she replied: oh, I
couldn't leave Emily behind. You see
she has so little fun in her life"

How Willy Diplomat Saved Lord Bea-

He Had Contemplated.

Curiosity, says a London correspond
ent of the Christian Science Monitor,
is frequently expressed as to how the
prime minister gets along in his con-
ferences with foreign ministers. 1t is
understood that, though he can make
out the purport of printed passage
In the French language, he never had
the opportunity of acquiring facility in
the spoken tongue. In this respect he
finds precedent In the case of Lord
Beaconsf1eld. When he went to the
Berlin congress In 1878 he made
known to his faithful secretary his in
tention of addressing the conference
in French. Monty Cory, having suf-
fered scraps Of his chiefs colloquial
French, was aghast. In despair he APP
piled TO the British minister at Berlin
for assistance. Odo Russell lived up
to the occasion. In casual converse
ton with Lord Beaconsfield he men
toned that he had heard rumor that
he intended to address the plenipo-
tentiaries on the following day In
French. "That would" the willy min

H.lium From Natural Gas.

On to q little more than year ago
helium was a laboratory product made
at a cost of from 81, 800 to $1,000 per
cubic foot, but toward the close of the
war it's production had been simple
fed TO the point that 5000 cubic feet
per day was produced in Texas alone.
The commercial production of he
Ifum has been stimulated by the need
of n substitute for hydrogen, which Is
so highly infiammable that its value
for military purposes in dirigibles and
kite balloons is gravely impaired. AL
though the substitution of helium for
this purpose entails loss of per
cent in lifting power, this is more than
COMPENSATED for by the elimination of
all risk of fire and explosion. Helium
suffers less loss by diffusion than hy-
drogen and cannot be made to burn
or explode under any conditions.

c. +. ADAMS AND FAMILY
SPEND MEMORIAL DAY HERE

Chas. +. Adams, wife and son, Chas.
Jr.. came up from Montrose Sunday
via the Blue Mesa route to spend
Memorial Day among friends in Gun
nison. Mr.. Adams was for many
years active in newspaper work in our
city, leaving about twenty years ago
to take over the Montrose Press. He
has recently added the Grand Junction
News to his string and publishes both
dailics. His family still reside in
Montrose, Mr.. Adams dividing his
time between the two cities.
While in Gunnison this week, the
Adams were the house guests of MIR
Adams sister, Mrs. S. j. Miller. After
the Memorial Day exercises Monday
Mr.. and Mrs. Adams were entertained
down the river at Pueblo Camp with
fish fry. Mr. and Mrs. S. j. Miller
Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Adams, Mr.
and Mrs. Ashton Winslow, DIR. and
Mrs. John C. Johnson, Mrs Mel Deer
ing and daughter, Miss Helen were
the moving spirits of the entertain
ment, and sent Charley and the missuS
on their way back to Montrose in q
very enjoyable frame of mind.
Mr.. Adams has soft spot in his
heart for the Gunnison country, and
after his many years absence still
seems to be a strong Gunnisonite. He
said before leaving that Monday was
the most beautiful Memorial Day he
had ever witnessed.

was the reply. Well, he played just
