PRESS DINNER
 TO BE MENU ALASKAF00DS

Nearly all the towns in Alaska which have been invited to send local products to Seattle for the annual dinner of the Washington State Press Association, have accepted the oppor' tunity to advertise their respective communities.
 A recent mail brought the follow ing letter from c. D. Garfield, assist ant secretary of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, in charge of the Alaska Department, which organization has undertaken the responsibility of pro- viding the products for the press ban quet.
 "All aboard for the Alaska Products dinner! Alaskan communities are all planning to contribute to the All-Alas- ka Products dinner which Alaska towns are making possible for the newspaper men of this state and Alas ka. Although the dinner will not be held until next January it is necessary to know as early as possible what we may count on from each section in order that other arrangements may be made in ease any community is m able to comply.
 Interest in the Alaska dinner ie heinz manifested from all sections of the North and the menu, as outlined, includes every item of importance pro- duced in the Territory. Blueberries, celery, strawberries, green peas, turnips and shelled shrimp are all that are lacking to make the menu complete. Assurances of these are hoped for from the towns from which we have not yet heard.
 "This year Hawaii was given splen- did publicity by the Hawaiian pro- ducts dinner, donated by the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce. Next January every town in Alaska contributing to the Alaska dinner in Seattle will be given recognition on the attractive menu cards of Alaska paper pulp which are being furnished by Juneau Already inquiries regarding the Alas ka dinner are being received from various parts of the state and with more than 800 newspaper men in at Tendance, constructive publicity is in evitable.

]MUSHERS FIND
 HOT SPRINGS
 NORTHCANADA

| Engineer Burns, one of the greatest mushers and prospectors who ever came into the Yukon, writes from Fraser Falls to the News of a discovery of hot springs made by himself and Jim Mcdonald another musher of renown, says the Dawson News. The new hot springs are on the McMillan River, and, according to the latter, they are mineralized and may be of great medicinal value. The letter reads as follows:
 Since my return from the Mac kenzie, myself and James Mcdonald, the stampeder and oil king, have made a short prospecting trip to the McMil land watershed I wish to draw your attention to a wonderful discovery we made in the form of hot spring.
 'In young days I had some knowl- edge of noted hot springs of New Zea- land, such as the well known Helidon- shaw water of South Queensland; also several mineral springs situated in Victoria, Australia None of these springs shows any stronger indica- tions of natures wonders than the hot springs of the McMillan River, Yukon Territory
 s'The temperature of the hottest spring will run up to 160 degrees above freezing. The water is so hot that one cannot hold his hand in it for five minutes. It throws off clouds of steam and vapor with a great flow of hot water.
 "I washed the darkest dish rag one ever saw around campfire in the hot springs, aided by Sunlight soap, and three minutes rubbing. The rag came out free from grease and dirt.
 "Old ax marks prove that this hot spring was known to Indians and used bv them more than 50 years ago. noticed where the Indians had con- structed small dams by placing flat rocks and dirt in half circle. In all there are four small dams. The work is very old"
 The "Wonder Hot Spring" is named and located by J. T. Burns and James Mcdonald.

KING OF poets.

If Shakespeare had been a mOrose
man, ne might have been a great poet
still; but he would not have been the
one figure in literary history who to-
day is regarded with as much real
and intimate affection as if he were
actually with as in the flesh. He is
no longer, thank Heaven, so much as
a "cult." TIE read Shakespeares plays,
to see them on the stage, to quote
openly and with relish the passages
you love most is not now to be thought
"hlgh-brow" or even odd. What other
writer is read so extensively or with
such unspoiled pleasure in the homes
of the poor, even in the homes of the
rich? In this age Of a highly self-con-
scious Intellectual ,pessimism the popu-
larity Of Shakespeare--a blithe prince
Of philosophers who looked upon life
and found that 1T was goods a salu-

HOW TO ANSWER YOUR
SMALL SONS QUESTIONS

(By Earl Hlll)
In no other place does my superior
knowledge come in SO handy as in
answering my small sons questions.
Although Mrs Hill probably would
not acknowledge it, feel sure she is
proud Of the patience and ability dis
played by her husband in answering
said questions. We have seen faith
ers terribly bewildered by long list
Of questions handed out by a small
son, and have been moved through
pity to try through this article to
help them out
"A good time to try out your ability
is after you get your paper Just a

interested in an article by your fav-
orite candidate, in which he is giving

Then have your wife send said small
boy in for you ito entertain. By
considerable persuasion you make the
boy believe you agree with him in his
opinion that he is a big boy BY these
tactics you get him to sit on a chair
near you instead Of on your lap.
Then you are ready to answer any
question he may put to you. That is,
you might as well be, for the ques-
tions will surely come. In the fol
lowing list of questions | shall give
some asked by my little son and some
suggested by him. These are common
