BUSINESS GOOD IN
 RAILROAD DISTRICTS
 SAYS SUPERINTENDENT

Business in the Alaska Railroad districts, including Anchorage and Seward. is fairly good, according to Anton Eide. superintendent of the Alaska Road Commissions south. western district, who arrived here yesterday from his headquarters in Anchorage. Anchorage, he said, is especially lively.
 The season as q whole in Western and Southwestern Alaska, said Mir Eide, had been good one. With construction activities on the Gov ernment Railroad and roadbuilding by the Alaska Road Commission as well as both mining and fishing in dustries going on, work was plen.ieul.
 There is a considerable movement of people to the States from the rail road districts at this time, he said Contracts are being closed rapidly and most of these so engaged are returning to the States Only a small percentage of the men engagaa in that work is remaining in Masks.
 MT. Eide is comforting with Col J c. Gotwals relative to next years plans and expects to return to his headquarters on the North western tomorrow.

outside turkeys, cranberries and ot1- CT delicacies from Seattle into Ne mana and Fairbanks for the Thanks giving dinners, the first time in his tory.
 Seward Transfer Point Seward will be the transfer point. unless freight during the summer months is routed by steamer via An chorage. The railroad management would like, however, to see all freight for the Interior be routed via Seward as we get the benefit of the through haul, for if it goes to An chorage the railroad loses about $2 ton. The passenger business will be via Seward, as the average trav- eler is pretty well satisfied to catch train after being aboard ship seven days, the time it takes from Seattle to Seward.
 Buffet Car Service
 "All trains operated on the ra,l- road have a buffet ear attached ia charge of !. Casey McDannel Thu; the passenger is given all of the co-li- forts as afforded in the States The rolling stock is in splendid tondition. That the railroad is appreciated is shown. by the present travel Last Wednesday, the Fairbanks train reached Seward with 15Q passengers aboard for the States, These pas sengers, with the exception of seven or eight, will pass through Junead on the Alameda as the Admiral Wat son was practically sold out before the train arrived.
 Lease Government Wire
 Tt is the understanding that the Government Railroad will lease a through telegraph wire to the United States Military Cable system and this will make many changes at Valdez and Seward. The telegraph line from Valdez to the Interior is q hard one to maintain during the winter months. The Government Railroad must maintain it's wire at all timaa and there is no question but that the cable system officials will shortly get a leased wire from the railroad This will mean that Seward will nave a larger force and signal corp men will also be stationed at various places along the Government Rail road"
 Good Coal Found
 Commander 0. c. Bowling, in charge of the naval commission oper ating a coal mine in the Matanuska has struck better veins of coal and this product is now of a better grade and quality. That splendid coal will be found is the consensus of opinion of all
 Without exception, the Interior people are opposed to private oper- ation of the railroad until the coun. try has been developed. The Fair banks business men and others are strongly opposed to anything touch ing private operation for two, three pr possibly five or even more years

What Emptiness May Do.

When n large shell Is fired into the
air II leaves a wake more or less like
that of a boat rushing through water.
Immediately behind the prOjectile as
1t moves many miles "a minute through
the atmosphere there Is a vacuum. The
air family Is a quick mover at filling
such space, but of course 1t Is more
or less confused and frustrated by the
unexpected arrival and passage of the
projectile, and the acuum Is real for
a fair portion of time. II there Is an
airplane going full tilt across the wake
of that fired shell Immediately behind
the projectile, Ii must run into the
vacuum. Then II may be more seri-
ously damaged than II 1t had been
struck by the shell. The air. shuts to-
gether with a force that hurts all with
in reach. Such a clapping Of the hands
of air In a similar vacuum made by a
bolt of lightning makes the thunder. II
Is better to hear 1t than to feel It.
Airplanes have been brought down In
the world war by that means. Those
long American navy guns did that to q
German two-seated plane. and II came
crashing down into the Yankee lines

FORMER EUREKAN TELLS
EARLY STORY OF "WlZ"

San Francisco Chronicle: An In
teresting sidelight on the early his
tory of Wizard" Jake Schaefer comes
to the sporting department from Al
fred Chartz, Of the firm Of Chartz 4
Chartz. Carson City, New. Chartz
goes back to the days Of old II not
the days OF gold, to tell Of the Wiz
ards first appearance in 1S76-some
forty-fve years back-in Eureka,Ne-
vada.
The letter contains some interest
ing news and reads as follows:
Carson City, New, Dec. 6.-Harry
B. Smith, sporting editor The Chron-
icle. Dear Sir: Jacob Schaefer came
to Eureka, New, in 1876, am almost
certain. 1t was not long after the
grasshopper plague in Kansas and
we called him the Kansas grasshop-
per.
When 1 first saw him, he had a
bootblacking boy on his shoulder and
| he was poorly dressed and far from
clean.
Dick Paddock, who had the reputa-
| ton of having exchanged shots with
Farmer Peel, boss of the Comstock
| shooters, had started a saloon in the
| Eureka hotel and installed 15-ball
pool. He offered $40 to any person
who would pocket them all without
missing. Schaefer got hat $40 on
the first trial and was barred there
after from the prize.
Gus Botto and Dick Guiberson,
faro bank men, went to San Francis
CO for Tony Jraker to meet Schaefer
in Eureka. A billiard table was In
| stalled in Bigelow's hall and the place
was filed to capacity when the play
began.
The game was for 500 points and
Schaefer allowed Jraker to get about
400 points ahead of him when he ran
it out and also ran out of the hall,
jumped aboard a buggy behind a fine
team and new stopped until he
reached Elko, except to relay twice
Schaefer stood by those who backed
him and the sports lost out.
/ am satisfied that was Schaefer's
first game for money. Yours truly,
ALFRED CHARTZ.

The Queer Leaf Insect.

to tell where the leaf leaves Off and II
begins. 1t comes In all sizes from three
inches long to the length of q little
finger nail. And Ii Is not a leaf come
to life. though that Is what II looks
like. 1t matches out of tiny. square,
brown eggs. What would be the leaf
stem is Its backbone, and the point
where the leaf attaches TO the twig 10
its head. Its legs look like bits Of de-
cayed and ragged leaf. and no two Of
them are Identical In length. size or
shape. Its wings are irregular and
veihy and have small discolorations on
them. as though they had been touched
by early frost. You could not tell the
creature from the leaf II was sitting
on to save your eyes. Most extraor-
binary thing Fever saw! II gave me

FREEDOM FOR IRELAND
From Salt Lake Tribune

into north and south with different
forms Of government and different
relations to the empire.
To reconcile these conflicting view
points, Lloyd George invited Sir Jas.
Craig. the Ulster premier, to come to
London Il talk things over. The sit
uation was so delicate that Sir James
desired the support and advice Of
other Uuster leaders. and finally all
the members of the Ulster cabinet
were called to London. Unionist
opinion in England has been stead
lastly against any coercion of Ul-
ster." 1t was then generally conced-
ed that one of the most difficult stag
es of the negotiations had been
reached.
Peace in ireland means prosperity
for the people Of the new free state,
which is an associate on terms OF
equality with the other common
wealths of the British empire. The
soil is rich and a market for all the
agricultural products is close at
hand in England. In the course of
time the old bitterness will undoubt-
eddy pass away and the two countries,
which are more or less dependent
upon each other, will enjoy amicable
relations. At least this should be the
case.
The people Of the United States
will rejoice ver the news that an
agreement has been reached and will
do what they can to assist in putting
The Irish Free State" upon its feet.
In view of all that has transpired
since the negotiations began, the Sim
Fein leaders appear to have won by
far the major portion of their con-
! tentions, while Premier Lloyd George
has once more given proof of lead
ership.

EUREKA SCHOOL NOTES

When the November Underwood
Speed Test was given Pauline HUI,
Estelle Rogantini and Mary Boston
made enough words in the fifteen
minutes to entitle them to an I'm
derwood Certificate. Annie Porch
has already received hers and the
others are on the way. The other
members of the class hope to be en-
titled to theirs before Christmas.
The Nevada Educational Bulletin
received yesterday shows that the
Eureka County High School holds the
best record for attendance in the
State of Nevada for last year. The
per cent of attendance 98.9 was not
equaled by any other schoolIthe
next highest being 9S.5. The rec
ords for the high schools show that
on an average each pupil enrolled was
out of school Standardization days.
The average for the Eureka County
High School was four-and-four-tenths
days. The average tardy record in
the State was three times for each
pupil, while in Eureka there were
only three tardy marks for the school
and they we're all for one person.
The average of attendance in the
high school for last month is as fol-
lows: Seniors 98.1%; Juniors 94.6%;
Sophomores $685. and the Fresh
men 94.S%. The attendance for the
boys was 96.75%; for the girls 94.8%
and for the whole high school 95.8%.
This is the lowest record that we have
for this year SO far and we hope 1t
will be the lowest for the whole year.

NOTED FIGURE GONE

The life story OF LORD Mount Ste
| phen, whose death in England is just
reported, was a romance of early
struggles against poverty. of a rapid
| rise to eminence after he wen to
| Canada in 1850, OF pioneer work in
railroad construction which culmin-
ated in the connecting of the Atlantic
and the Pacific by the Canadian Pa
citlc railway, of the acquisition of a
s6.0G0,0G0 fortune. much of which
he gave away to relatives, and finally
Of en- old g spent as a peer in an
historic home known as Brockett
Hall. Hertfordshire, in England,
which had at times been occupied by
two prime ministers of England,
Lord Melbourne anG Lord Palmers-
ton.
AS a boy. George Stephen played
barefooted in the streets of his native
village, was a shepherd OF the near
by bleak moors and then a Diapers
clerk. Going to Canada, he entered
the store of an uncle in Montreal, a
cloth merchant, who he ultimately
bought out. He invested his savings
in Bank of Montreal stock, becoming
one OF its largest shareholders and
finally its president.
About this time Stephen came into
business relations with Donald Smith,
a cousin, who afterward became Lord
Strathcona. Smith interested him in
the construction of a railway to the
CanaGian west, which he knew
through his association with it as res
ident governor of the Hudson's Bay
Company. The aged Strathcona pre-
coded him to the grave.
Smith and Stephen Joined forces
with the late ]. J. Hill. and the trio
acquired the st. Paul & Pacific rail-
road. which had failed and had fallen
into the hands of its Dutch bondhold-
ers. The line was built through from
st Paul to Winnipeg.
The importance of this early VEN
ture on the subsequent development
of the Canadian west lay In the fact
that 1t made the building Of the Can
adian Pacific possible, as supplies for
the construction gangs operating in
the otherwise inaccessible prairie
section passed over 1t. Acknowledge
ment Of his part in the origination
and contamination of the Canadian
Pacific came from the shareholders
who elected Stephen the first presi-
dent OF the company. and from the
king. who, on recommendation Of the
government of Canada. conferred a
baronetcy on him In 1886 and q peer
age in 1891.
He retired from the presidency In
1888. and soon afterward went to
live in England. Before leaving Can
ada. Lord Mount Stephen divided his
fortune among relatives in Mon
treal. retaining enough to sup
port him for the rest Of his life. Previ-
ously he had contributed 1.0o0 600
to the founding Of the Royal Victoria
hospital OF Montreal, Canada.
