he lay beneath that gray sky. Even
now, perhaps, Simon was upon them
Only two little rifle shells remained
with which to combat him. and he
doubted that his wounded arm would
hold the rife steady. There were
weary, innumerable miles between
them and any shelter, and only the ter
rible, trackless forest lay between.
Then why not lie still and let
the curtains fall7 This was an easy,
tranquil passing, and heaven alone
knew what dreadful mode Of egress

one side
But high and bright above all this
burned the indomitable flame Of his
spirit. To rise, to fight, to struggle
on. Never to yield until the Power

in this man rose In him. and he set
his muscles like iron.
He shook off the mists of the frost
In his brain. Quickly he knelt by Lin

hands. She opened her eyes.
"Get up. Linda" he said gently.

She started to object, but message
In his eyes kept her from 1t. His
own spirit went into her. He helped
her to her feet.
"Help me roll the blankets" he COM

they felt the lowering menace Of the

SIDE EXCURSION WEST
 IS TRIP WORTH WHILE


 With the coming of the 1923 tour ist season and the attending eXcur- sionists, who will visit this section of the north there is presented a new field for trips from the main line of travel which would appeal to the visi- .or-the westward.
 In the past it is apparent that iii- tie attention has been paid to this sec tion of the country which affords beau tiful views, marine, panoramic and scenic as we'll as an opportunity to see sea animal life in its native habitat. A short trip to the westward on the Steamer Starr reveals much to the tourist that is of interest.
 As the vessel proceeds on its course, making the various ports of cali. constantly changing view is rrcs.nted. The mountain ranges which grace kenai peninsula, and which is broken by numerous little bays, cre- ates a teeiing of awe as one views it's lofty snow covered peaks. majestic Tn their mantles of snow, dark and for bidding with their unscalable cliffs. With the pretty fiords, on which is To- catrJ growing villages and fox farms, coming constantly before the gaze O. ttc tourist a scene of entertainment is brought before the traveller. Perhaps the ;:anorama is broken by small ls- lands. which dot the vast expanse o water. and on these islands may be seen seals in countless numbers. A the ship proceeds the woodlands, which uave graced the lower mountain sides glve way to barrenness, but this in no measure detracts from the Won- dery cf the view, it only intensifies the wonders of natures workings. Clearly dafiyied. sharp and jagged, the noun rain tops stand out against the clear sky and :,npresses one with the vast ness oi the massed rock and the beau ;y of nature. As the Alaska Peninsula mountain range is paralelled the defl- hilton :.ecomes more pronounced ana here and there may be seen the crat- CTS of volcanos. some extinct, some active. Principal of these would be not ed Mt. Katmai, which at times sends it's volume of smoke, or steam, nun dreds of feet into the clear air, the graceful white plumage ascending ln an unbroken pillar, until, the force of the crater expended, it waits away on the breeze in sea of snowy white- ness.
 With ever changing scenery; from the drowning bluffs to the low and sloping shore contours; the islands the bays and other formations which go to make a sea coast, there is much that is fascinating and a never-tor- gotten grandeur will be with the trav- eler always.
 This is the impression created on the mind of the Gateway representa- tive during the trip to Kanatak on the Steamer Starr. And in this connection if can be said that the staunch vessel is filling a long feN want of the peo- ple who live to the westward. Capt. 0. Al Johansen, commanding the vessel, is a skilled navigator and also finds time to see this his guests are com- lortable: the cuisine, under the care of Steward Geary, is excellent; for the remainder of the ships personnel it can be said that courtesy and service is the motto.

Indicates nominal. Composite Average Cotton Goods Price ..........
O O O Cotton Yarns Varied.

Cotton yarn prices opened the week stronger in some cases and weaker in others. There is no change in the relation between yarn demand and supply, but with some dealers re- porting the receipt of new inquiries. Conditions continue much mixed as indicated by the fact that some of the price concessions were made pos sible by the lowering of spinners asking prices, as in the case of 26s and sos, tWo-ply southern carded carded warps.
 As pointed out last week some con- sumers have all along regarded these numbers as being quoted too high. Lately it has been conceded by some dealers that these counts were prob ably from a half to two cents out of line with the rest of the carded weaving yarn numbers. It was re- garded by local sellers, however, as Eecesstary to wait for further re- adjustment of asking prices by the spinners and it is now understood that spinners have been found who will offer yarns of average grade in sufficient quantity to take care of current purchases at the lower prices.
 Prices Lower.
 This means that 26s, two-ply available at AS cents, as compared with 5012 cents last week; with the same count of carded Warps offered here at 50 cents, as against 51 F cents last week; 24s, tWo-ply carded warps at 4S cents in contrast with 4915 last week; with sos. two-ply carded skeins cut by some to 51 cents and by

 Thlrties southern ply carded warps have been shaded to g cents by some sellers, which Is what they claim to be able to fill orders al with their spinners. Forties ply carded warps are now offered in reliable quarters, without any strings, at as low as 5S cents. On the other hand, 24s ply carded skeins have been stiffened to 47 cents by some of the dealers of- fering concessions on others of these counts and in southern carded knit ting yarns, the same thing is noted as regards POS and 22s frame spun cones which have been suffened about half cent.
 The above cases are cited in some detail as indicating-first that there is no general and confirmed trend to yarn quotations; second, that sellers are not relying on their stocks, eN- clusively, In trying to attract buying with price concessions; and thlrd, that there are some spinners al least who have yarns to ship on orders al prices competing with those asked for local spot supplies.

 Extra Staple Cotton.
 A slight stiffening. of prices during the early part of the week featured the extra staple cotton markets, with more interest being shown in the old crop than has been manifested for some time. Despite the increase In inquiry. however. there appears to be a continued tendency on the part of the mill men to limit their pur- chases to actual needs, the prices asked by the brokers being deemed too high when 1t comes to considering future requirements of raw material.
 Dealers believe that conditions are rapidly becoming such that the mill men will have to decide between meeting the price ideas of the brok- CTS or curtailing their production to a far greater extent than obtains at present. Shippers are less disposed
