White Liaa

Dear Uncle Jed: One day a little brother and sister were playing together. The brother cut hole in his sisters dress. They both laughed, and the girl put her finger in tie hole and made 1t larger. When the mother saw the hole, she asked. how did it happen? The little girl answered, Brother cut it.
 She did not say anything about what she did, 50 her brother was punished for It all. Do you know anybody who tells half-rutEi lies? How many of you ever heard of white lies? Some people call lies white when they only have a little untruth in them. All lies are black lies to God.

 Upon letving the mountains at the foot of the lake the trail fol- lows down the north side of the Klu- tena, which here flows between clay and gravel bluffs 500 or 500 feet high, to the Copper river at Copper Center. During the most of this dis tance the trail is down near the river, but at times is on the bluff. Copper Center was reached August 29 It is located on a low terrace or flat, mostly along the western bank of the Copper and the northern bank of the Klutena. The population of Copper Center at the time of our visit was about 500 or 500, dwelling mostly in tents, and few in log cabins. A store, postoffice, and hotel were kept here in tents by MT. Holman. Many of the prospectors were actively engaged in felling timber and building log cabins for winter use. From Copper Center one part of the expedition, consisting of 13 men and pack train of IF horses, in charge of the writer pro- ceeded across the Klutena and down the west bank of the Copper to Valdez, while two other parties, in charge of Captain Abercrombie and Lieutenant Lowe, respectively, pro- ceeded to Mentasa pass and Forty mile, on the Yukon.
 Hitherto our route down the Klu- tena had followed a well-beaten trail travelled by several thousand prospectors; but now, as the coun- try ahead of us was unknown, to tighten the load of the horses, some having very sore backs and others being lame, the bulk of our provi- sions, procured mostly from pros pectOrs at Copper Center, was sent down the river in boats in charge of Jaffey and Hincky, boatment, with instructions to leave a small part of the same at Taral, about 60 miles below Konsina, some 40 miles farther down, until our arrival at that point.

At the time of our passing it was much obstructed by fallen, partially burned, and burning timber. West of the heard of the lake the obstruction from this cause.-the burning tim the trail for the most part followed the lowest gravel terrace near the shore, and was good.
 Cranberry Marsh, a camp of some eighty or more people at the uorth- western elbow of the lake, was reached on the IS, whence the writer made the ascent of Cranberry peak from which observations were taken. Starting from here, some topographic and geologic work, covering period of several days, was done about the lake by boat. At the foot of the / lake was found camp of more than 200 tents, shacks, and cabines, oc- cupied by about $50 people, many of whom were prospecting in vari- zion. It was located principally on ,xhe northern side, but some tents were also ou the southern side of the lake. Here the tops of Sunny and Carter mountains were visited by the writer for observations of the country toward the north, in the direction of and beyond the Taz- lima. From here an excellent view is also obtained of most of the up- per part of the Copper river valley and of the western side of the snow covered Wrangell group of noun tains, some 50 miles distant.
 To accommodate the Klutena ex- odus of prospectors from the Copper river country, a small steam yacht piled from the foot to the head of the lake, doing a very prosperous busi ness. Almost every day small par ties of these people were encountered who had lost their outfits in the

report as follows:
But little rain in northern
counties of Maine, New Hamp-
shire and Vermont since early May
while the rest of New England,
tho injured somewhat by June
drought, received rains the end of
June. Hence the New England
hay crop is one Of the lightest on
record, being 66 per cent of normal
against 81 per cent last year and
SO per cent the average. Dry re-
gions have only half a crop, with
no large stock of old hay. Some
farmers are now buying market
hay, and have sown more fodder
crops.
New England pastures have suf-
fered about the same as hay, the
condition now being 68 against %
last year and average o 700. Milk
production has decreased rapidly
