It has been casual ly remarked in the presence of the writer that it would be a good idea to bring along some Chicken feed" so it will not be amiss to pass this information along, so that's that.

Regardless of the fact that Xmas is approaching and November 1923 i' in the discard, the many auto mobiles. wagons, tractors and other wheeled vehicles, continue to ply in and around Nome in the same busy manner that took place during the balmy summer days. Open navi- gation still exists. any boat of any slze could with all ease navigate the Boring Sea at present. Shore ice has recently appeared in small is in evidence on the surface of the water but not to such an extent but what any small craft could make it's way without trouble. This news is not startling 10 the old timer who is familiar with the con ditions of the country, but to many of those on the outside who continue to believe that Alaska is d frozen glacier. and all except small DOT t!bu 'i 'Ht ltl ilblN Ia IHdD.tdl'u only by prehistoric animals, this revelation will come as a surprise
 The Hammon Consolidated Gold Fields are continuing the operation of their two mighty dredges on L'' tie Creek and the country around Nome has no more the appearance of frozen ice berg than the fashion able district of Long Island at this time of year.
 The Lomen Brothers, expert photo- graphers, have recently taken some very fine and interesting views of the two dredges operating on Lit tie Creek and the views are now on display in the Lomen Drug Store show cases.

THE STORY TWAIN TOLD
"INCLE JOE

During the days that Mark Twain
camped around Speaker Cannon's Of
flee some years ago while working in
behalf Of new copyright law, he told
many good stories. "Uncle Joe" seems
to think the following one is about
the best that he related:
"A preached was called upon to of
ficiate at a neighborhood christening.
The audience consisted Of relatives,
friends and neighbors of the proud
parents. we have met together, my
friends,' said the preacher, on very
interesting occasion-the christening
of this little child-but | see already
look of disappointment on your
faces. Is it because this infant is so
small? We must bear in mind that
this globe upon which, we live is made
up of small things, infinitesimal OBJ
jects, we might say. Little drops of
water make the mighty ocean; the
mountains which rear their hoary
heads toward heaven and are often
lost in the clouds are made up of lit
tie grains of sand. Besides, my friends,
we must take into consideration the
possibilities in the life of this little
speck of humanity. He may become
a great preacher, multitudes may be
swayed by his eloquence and brought
to see and believe in the truths of the
gospel. He may become a distinguish
ed physician, and his fame as a heal
er of men may reach the uttennost
ends of the earth, and his name 60
down to posterity as one of the great
benefactorS of the human race Fe
may become great astronomer and
read the heavens as an open book. He
may discover new stars which may be
coupled with those of Newton and
many other great discoveries. He may
become a distinguished statesman and
orator, and by the strength of his in
tellect and eloquence he may control
the destinies of nations and his name
be engraved upon monuments erected
to perpetuate his memory by his ad-
miring and grateful countrymen. He
may become an author and poet, and
his name may yet appear among those
now entombed at Westminster. He
may become a great warrior and lead
armies to battle and victory; his PROV
ess and valor may change the map of
Europe and Africa. Methinks | hear
the plaudits of the people at the men
tion Of his deeds and name. He may
become -er-er-he might-er, turn

What is the baby's name?'

A GOOD INVESTMENT TEST

An editorial writer who is frequently offered
opportunities to invest in oil pools of fabulous
promise, and ''gilt-edged securities of which no
established financier seems to have heard, has
what he calls an acid test to apply to all such
propositions. He submits the following questions
to the promoter or solicitor:
"Give me the names of ten persons for whom
your schemes have made money in the past.
Furnish me a sworn statement showing how
much of your own money and that of your inn
mediate associates you have put into your en-
terprise.
Furnish me statements from reputable bank
ers and business men that you have made your
money honestly if you have made any.
IF your oil pool is so fabulously rich,' why
don't you ask Standard Oil to develop 1t instead
of soliciting my poor $25 subscription" ?"
The last question is varietd to suit the partic-
ular bonanza offered but the spirit of the in
quiry remains the same. The author says it is
usually safe to bet that he never will hear of the
matter again, for he seldom does.-Globe Record.

''U S. Stumbling Block" announces an ex-
change, "to League of Nations" Some misguid-
ed pro-European Americans view the European
tangle from an odd angle. They would have you
believe the United States was to blame for the
war and should now cancel all foreign loans, give
the whole outfit a few billions bonus and settle
the question among the quarreling nations as to
who should get the fat end Of the division of war
spois. This element of so-called Americans be-
long to the class always hunting trouble just for
troubles sake. If America was going through
selfish squabble of the kind Europe is now en-
joying (?), Europeans would look on and chortle
with gee while assisting in stirring the mess the
more. America has and is trying to help Europe
with her troubles as any enlightened nation
should, but about the only help European nations
appear to want, is plenty of American cash on
their own terms with clause cancelling the debt

FUTURE SHOULD BE BRIGHT

The Sun has been having a splendid session
for the past six months putting in a new press,
revamping the shop, housecleaning and painting
in general. The gang has gotten so used to sit
ting sideways on one hip, wiping turpentine tears
out of one eye and wondering when the next is
sue will issue, that even Saturday night check
bath stunts have been overlooked The Sun plant
is about all revamped now, at least we have
started up grade with firm conviction that
while it pays to improve, and guess few years
ahead of the game, the revamping process makes
one want to strap on his old knapsack and vacate
in the interim. The very best of Flagstaff's peo-
pie have come to an agreement that 1--WE all start

Following out the Arizona tax law to it's logi-
cal conclusion, the legislature should also pass
law automatically cancelling all debts January 1
each year. While such a law might make it rath-
er difficult for some people to get into debt, it
would automatically keep lot of people out of
debt. The old Chinese law which made man
settle once year or have his head segregated.
while rather severe, produced vast amount of
involuntary honesty. The way things stand now
in America, small part of mans ability is ex-
ercised in selling things and the other nine
tenths of his ability is under forced draft en-
deavoring to collect. And our laws are usually
made that all his nine-tenths ability is fully
absorbed.

ENEMIES WITHIN

IF the internationalists in America have left
anything undone that could embarrass the adj
ministration at Washington, it would be diff
cult to imagine the nature Of their omission. Day
after day they circulate false reports of some
new determination Of the government to depart
from its announced policy of not interfering in
European affairs, but no sooner is one such re-
port denied than another is started. Enemies
without are not near so bothersome as enemies
within.

WANT AMERICA TO Do 1T

Clemenceau declares that the French aim is
for peace. That is probably true, and the means
for securing it is to shift the burden of war to
American shoulders, and get the United States
to enforce the Versailles treaty, straighten out
the Near East tangle, and assume the obligations
of the. league of nations. Meanwhile presum-
ably, France and other European nations would
sit by and watch American lives lost and Amer
lean wealth dissipated.

afraid some one would "snitch" on the admins

A little girl from the city had been
visiting in the country, and was being
questioned as to what kind of a time
she had. Finally someone said: Il bet
you don't even know how to milk a
cow"
"Bet I do" she said.
On being pressed for particulars as
to how it was done, she replied: "You
take the COW into the barn and give
her some breakfast food and water

EXPERIENCE REFUTEs DEMOCRATS

The increase of our export trade since the en-
actment of the new tariff law is a complete
futation of the democratic charge that the law
would bring decrease in foreign shipments.
The act is working out just as its republican au-
thors predicted it would. Our domestic indus
tries are encouraged by the protection it affords,
and our foreign business is stimulated.
