IlNcOLN'S BIRTHDAY

Tomorrow, February 12. is the ami versary of the birth of Abraham Lln- coin. the great emancipator who was assassinated by Booth in the old Ford Theatre, April II, 1865.
 Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth president of the United States, born in Harlan County, Ky Feb. IS, 1909; a son of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks Lincoln. The Lincoln family suffered great from poverty, com mon complaint at that time even when was theirs for the taking. The pres ident in discussing the region said it was one of the toughest and poorest in the state. No qualifications were expected of a teacher save reading, writing and arithmetic. If a stranger struggled into the district who was supposed to understand Latin he was looked upon as a wizard of learning"
 Lincoln was a flatboatman on the rivers for several years, where man to take care of his own had to be half hoss and half alligator and of all the rough crowd, his fellow boat men say Lincoln was the best man with his hands and his feet that ever cordelled Hat boat against the Miss issippi current. He was an expert in the backwoods style of wrestling and fighting, and his gaunt frame had the strength of a Samson.
 Lincoln ran for numerous offices in his younger days and was invariably defeated His campaign with Steph- en Douglas, the Democratic states man first brought him into national prominence. Lincoln being outspoken against slavery, and a brilliant debat- CT for abolition. When the republi- can party organized in the nation, Lincoln took his place at its head in Illinois, and in 1858, was selected as the antagonist to MT. Douglas for el- ection to the Illinois senate. In this campaign he uttered the brilliant, pregnant and prophetic words: "A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government can not endure permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved; I do not expect the house to fall. It will become all one thing or another Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the spread oi

it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction, or it's advocates will push it forward un- til it shall become alike lawful in all states, old as we'll as new; North as well as South"
 Lincoln by his brilliant oratory and solid presentment of facts, showed that Douglas position was untenable, in one terse sentence: Judge Doug las holds that thing may be lawful ly driven away from place where It has a lawful right to go.'
 Lincoln was nominated for the pre- sidency in May, 1860, over Wm. Sew ard. The election took place Nov. b, and the electoral college gave him 1SO votes, Breckinridge, 72; Bell, 39, and Douglas 12. The popular vote stood for Lincoln. l 375,157; Breckinridge' S47,953.
 Lincoln took his seat March i, 1861.

SKI HORNED SHEEP TAXI IN PEAKS;

"The story of the wonders of the animal and bird life of tie Far North has not half beo.l told,' declares Jack Leach, pioneer trader and taxi dermist from Deal Horse Alaska, who is at the Hotel Rainier Grand, says the Seattle Posl-Intelligencer His remarks were prompted by tine stories of the pol cupine owl ice wee vii and the web-footed cat recently re- lated by returning soutdoughs.

Leach added to Alaskan history a vivid word picture O. the appearance and habits of the skihO.nud noun tain sheep, very rare species, in habiting mountain fastnesses of the Arctic and Northern NaSka

Skiing To the Bar.

" s'V S"'s
 Tn the old Bonanza days heard a number of prospectors, just in from remote Arctic wastes, swear that they had seen sheep flying thru the air with their own eyes. Of course the story appeared preposterous. That was when Alaska was wide open and I made allowances. Especially since they hesitated to tell of the sight un- til they had made several visits to the bar. I am now convinced that they were partly right. They had seen ski horned mountain sheep engaged in play.
 "I saw my first sheep of this spec ies on April 1 last year. This date will also prove an obstacle in con vincing scientific men of my discov ery. I was crossing the Skookum Charley Range in the Uppen Porcu pine district when I saw tracks of mountain sheep. Reaching the sum init I came upon an animal by sur prise. The body was that of noun tain sheep, but the horns, instead O. surfing upward curved downward, al most to the animals feet and extend ed for quite distance straight to ward the hind legs.

 ''The horns, instead of being cir cular, appeared to be flat. Whll I was wondering how the animal coui' get about with these awkward acces sories, the sheep spied me, and, a quick as a flash got on his knees doubling up his legs and resting ther m the upper side of the horns.
