Something TO
Think Ab0ut
SELF-CONTROL
b Ed. WALKER

THE simple process of practicing
L self-control is as beneficial as 1t is
astonishing. In a little while those Of
us who succeed in obtaining mastery
of our emotions, our glib tongue, Il
strutting pride and u Incidence, find
ourselves in a new world.
We wonder at the ag%reeableness of
Il friends, the loneliness of the ten
der blossoms. and the thousands of
beautiful things all about us which
heretofore we have passed without no
tice.
At last we have succeeded in pull
ing an old mask from our face and we
are able to smile. We have in some
way found a grain of faith-faith IN
ourselves and in our intimates.
We are changed and the whole world
is changed with US.
We soar on the wings of the dove.
We have risen high above the Dogs
and quagmires.
We have come from a state between
sleep and waking. Our vision is clear.
Our mind is alert, appreciatiye, con
siderate and kindly disposed. Our
thoughts fly straight to the mark,
never diverted by ill-humor Or a VIC
lent rush of hot blood.
Ia some indescribable manner a bur
den has slipped from u CALLED
shoulders, and we are buoyant, happy,
unconquerable.
The ruling forces of the universe
have taken hold of US, while other
and lower forces are losing ground.
Affection. sentiment and compassion
have become parts of u disposition.
The control of impulse has grown
perfect through the supremacy of our
higher motives.
We are enslaved no more by the
harpies of passion. The simple opera
ton of self-control, the careful and
continuous exertion of will-power has
set us free.
Where formerly we moved abous
with dour faces we now go with beam,
ing smiles; where in other days we
were met with rebuffs we are given
CHEEKY receptions and encouragement.
The strong, sunny parts OF nature
which we have by supreme effort de
veloped are ours, aud we are keeping
step with the yictors, SURF of victory
for ourselves in the faith that, illumin-
ates our way.

HILDA

OF SPLENDID old Morse lineage is
~ Hilda. The chief of the Nalkyrur
was Hildur and the names of Hid and
Hillia were given to other war maidens.
Hilda is said to signify battle by a
literal translation. which probably
means "warIike spirit" under a
broader Interpretation.
The Teutonic world claims the name
and insists that it means support"
giving it to one of their principal wal
maidens. The real origin seems diff
cult TO settle upon, but Ii is generally
conceded that Hilda and peace are not
synonymous,
For a time Hilda was one Of the
eommonest examinations to feminine
names in the TeutOnic world and grad
ually the word came to mean maiden"
and was used INTERCHANGEABLE. 1t was
much used in the north of England
also. where the Deiran princess, Hill
dur, became the holy abbess, Hllda of
Whithy, succeeding St. Begga and
leaving a reputation for sanctity.
Though Clara de Clare could not
see it, a vision of the holy abbess can
be seen under certain conditions Of
light in the Whitby ehaoel today; the
ammonitles which are believed to have
been serpents turned TO stone at the
prayer of the abbess are also there.
Around Whitby. Hilda IS still the most
popular of feminine names, in honor
of the holy woman who bore it.
The mother OF Rolf CANCER was the
/ Norwegian Hildr. Indeed the name
has confined itself largely to the peo-
pies of the North. It suggests the
! splendid strength Of the Yalkyries =;
/ the romance Of the land of the mid
night sun; the haunting melancholy Of
the Gothic races. Ii is one OF the few
names without diminutives OF deriva-
tives.
Coral is the jewel assigned TO those
who bear the name of Hlda. if they
would have health and prosperity. The
deep pink stone shares the vitality Of
the wearer to such an extent that 1t
is supposed to pale or grow more
vivid, accordingly as its owner is pos
J sessed by weakness or good health
lit is also used to stop the flow Of
blood from wounds. Safety for trav.
eler is the promise Of coral. Tuesday
is the lucky day for its wearer and
8 the lucky number.

CHIEF METALS LOOKS
 GOOD CLOSE OF SEASON

Development work on the Chief Metals Mining Go. prop critics during the summer has yielded much encouragement to the owners, according to Wm. McGrew, who has been in charge since the departure of Manager Dan Anderson, who was compelled to leave in August, owing to injuries re- ceived earlier in the summer through falling from a horse. A tunnel started last spring on a six foot vein was extended to a point where the vein has widened to 12 feet, with 1 foot of high-grade, from which some nice looking specimens containing native silver and argentite are displayed. A shipment of approximately one ton of the high-grade was re- gently brought down for trans mission to the smelter. The company's properties are on Slate Mountain, near the east 1 side of Silver Lake.
 Several Seattle officials, in- lcluding Chief of Police Norton and Capt. Ebinhouse, of the Seattle Fire Department, are among the principal stock holders.

GOOD PROGRESS
 ON DUNWELL TUNNEL

Work on No. 4 tunnel in the Dunwell is progressing at good speed. The new crosscut is ex- pected to tap the high-grade ore shoot found in the upper levels early next month. Inger- solI-Rand drifting drills are being used with excellent suc- cess. The tunnel is expected to be somewhere between eight and nine hundred feet in length by the time it cuts the main ore shoot. The manage ment has everything in shape for winter operations. Ample housing accommodations have been provided for a full crew and ore sorting shed, black smith quarters and other build ings have been constructed. The company purposes to sack and ship only the high-grade ore, leaving the lower grade ore for later disposal.

FAST PROGRESS ON
 GOLD CLIFF PROPERTIES

Work on the Gold Cliff prop critics in the Bear river section. recently bonded by A. B. Trites, is being pushed with all possible dispatch and supplies and materials are being rushed to the ground as rapidly as pos sible. Arrivals from Stewart report that two camps have been established and a crew of a dozen or more is at work on trail construction and other work, preparatory to actual mining operations, which are due to commence within a short time. A large shipment of rails and an ore car arrived on the Cardena last week and is expected to be followed by oth- CT equipment before the snow flies. The management is ap- parently intent on getting prac- tically everything needed for the winters operations on the ground before actual develop ment is started.

met revenue from the fisheries of Alaska were about $10,000 900 and it should be turned over to the Territory for pub lie schools and public im- provements. When turning over the land in the townsite to the Land Office, the Forest Service, which had leased the land under special permits, should have given the town site proper protection. Con- gress is hard to get anything from, he said, but we have to keep on trying. After discuss ling the failure of various pieces of Alaska. legislation in
 Congress and pointing out the
 ew bits of constructiv legisfat-
 on granted, Mr. Boyle again referred to the river situation, stating that after what he had seen during his visit he had enough data to go before any )ody of men and convince them of the need for a bulkhead to protect the town. " If Dah Sutherland gets the most votes, get after him, and keep after
 him." was the speakers ad-
 monition. Congress, he said, is too busy to handle Alaskan affairs as they should be han
 died and is too far away to
 hear the opinions of the people
 as to conditions. He thought that all officers of the Territo- ry, with the possible exception of the governor, should be
 elected by the people. The h.
 dian situation was referred to
 as the most important one now before the people of the Terr- itory, citing instances of the
 natives being instructed by
 means of marked sample bal lots how to vote, when they
 possessed no idea as to what
 or for whom they were voting. Like the other visiting speak l srs, MT. Boyle also referred to
 NIr. Paul, the Ketchikan attor-
 1.v, who is said to have organ
 cd the natives for voting pur-
 oses, thus enabling them to
 control elections at many
 points. There should be some
 way to stop this, Mir. Boyle
 said, and if he was elected he intended to do what he could
 n that direction.
