FUR WARDEN RETURNS FROM
 TRIP 10 THE NORTH

Frank Dufresne, Fur Warden un- der the Department of Agriculture. returned to Nome Thursday after an interesting business trip to the Kougarok country.
 He left Nome on the first day of November and went thru Teller, across the Agiapuk River and Salt Lake to Mary's Igloo. From here he visited several outlying places and then went into the Kougarok section as far as Dahl creek.
 At Dahl Creek he was forced to turn back because the trail condi- tions proved too severe. From lZ to Is inches of soft snow covered the ground and capping the snow was a thin, brittle crust that cut the dogs feet so badly that they coula not travel. Even with his strong dog team and only a light load a distance of one mile per hour was all that could be accomplished.
 From Dahl Creek the return trip to Nome was made via Kruzgamapa Hot Springs, Iron Creek and Mug get Road House.
 Along the coast indications point f, A good fox catch, but inland a poor catch is presaged. Ptarmigan were very numerous every where.
 Old times say they are thicker than any time since 1900. At Marys Igloo they perched in the willow tcps by the thoIsands and as Tar as the eve could see the immense Will low patches were sea of feeding fluttering white birds.
 Along the Agiapuk River Dufres- ne got into an overflow to depth above his waist and nearly lost his whole dog team. Had it not been for a nearby trapper's cabin he would have fared badly, as it was he froze several toes and one heel On this trip it was necessary for the traveller to sleep out three nights in the willows. making one run oe' tween shelter cabins.
 The trip covered work in a large field and included observation oi Alaska wild life, enforcement ol the game laws and the gathering o' literary material along the same lines.
 At Mary's Igloo the Fur Warder made his appearance unannounced no one knew his position or busl ness. After ueking complete

STEAM HEAT CONsERvEs
 COAL PILE

About one hundred twenty five tons of soft coal remains in the AL aska Lighterage coal pile, much smaller amount than is usually car ried by the company during the win ter months. At first one might think that a coal shortage will re- suit before spring, but such will hardly be the case. Many individ- uals who in the past winters burn ed coal in their residences or store rooms have replaced stoves with steam from the central oil burning heating plant. The Court House. Fire Department. Postofice and several business houses are num- bered with the steam users while numerous residences have been clos ed and occupants moved into steam heated apartments.
 With so many former coal users now employing steam heat the drain on the coal pile has corresponding ,v been lessened and the remaining coal supply will be suficient for local needs.
 Many other people would employ steam heat if mains were extended to include the residence districts thruout the city.

 I'm afraid you look rather bold. for a single girl. my dear" was Dolly's criticism when she saw Ca mille dressed for the fancy dress dance on shipboard. "Although'- grudgingly-"you do 1cok pretty!"
 She herself was arrayed in a ha- rem frock that she had brought. al- ready made, on board. and through the little yashmak veil of which her eyes, extremely well made-up. were already doing deadly executionl
 Her own particular swain ap- peared as a monkey and tore round and round the saloon at dinnertime, chattering and snarling. leaping on the tables, and picking fleas off everyone, Dolly included. He wore a skin-tight suit of furry stuff. and long tail.
 Her two married adcrers came as The Missing Link and the Next One. Fuzzed-out rope, and not very much of that, was their covering, and their arms and legs were painted blue. in imitation of tattooing, while their hair stood up on end.
 Dolly regretted that they had not chosen more romantic role to keep her company, but consoled herself with handsome youth got up as Romeo.
 Elliot Glyn had disappeared at dinner time but his identity was suspected in a big Black Cat which equabbled with the Monkey, greatly to the delight of some fthe young sters who were allowed into the dining saloon for a 10 minutes view.
 When the dancing began on the deck (which was canvassed in and hung with colored paper lanterns) Glyn appeared in an ordinary eve ming suit. and danced several times with Miss Camille who was very much in request.

OFFER $10O FOR PROOF
 SHOOK DOES NOT EXIST
By Associated Press

Halifax, N. S., February 16.-The first person who can prove that su- pernatural causes are not responsible for uncanny happenings at Alex Mac Donald's farm in Caledonia Mills will receive s100 if an offer made by De- tective Carroll of the provincial po- lice and Harold Whidden, a Halifax reporter, holds good.
 After spending two days and three nights in the house with Whidden. Detective Carroll reported to his su periors his belief that neither fires nor other strange happenings there were the work of human hands. While hunting for the spook, alleged by Macdonald to be haunting his farm, Whidden and Carroll were slapped mysteriously, they say
 Macdonald left his home in mid winter because he said that unseen hands played havoc with his cattle and started fires in his home. Friends who spent night with him cor roborated his story. Carroll is cred ited with having solved many mys- terious crimes in the last 25 years.

Its a little too big for my finger and might easily slip off if I didn't watch it."
 He left her for a moment to get the necessary refreshment for her
 And then it was that a slim, black -cloaked and tore&dor- halted figure, wearing mysterious mask, paused near Camille.
 Good evening. May I have the pleasure of a dancer" The figure held a program in his hand
 Camille smiled up at him, She had heard that voice before. And many of the dancers were wearing masks tonight. Who could it be?
 I'm engaged for everything You're much too late" She shook her head.
 Come. let me see your program. You wouldn't be so cruel as to re- fuse me" He put out a hand as though to take her card, but she cir cumvented that.
 NO, you can't see it. That isn't allowed"
 What lovely ring! May I look at 1t for a moment?"
 She had refused him twice. but there was no harm in this. She half raised her hand.
