No trip could be found which would be more enjoyable than that up the Stikine river" said Senator J. R. Heckman. who returned yes terday after a having made the voy- age with Mrs. Heckman and a party of tourists.
 The service on the river boat is all that could be desired. The food is excellent and the stateroom ac- commodatiOns are first-class, on top of which the scenery is unsurpass- ed.
 Although they made some in- quiries at Telegraph Creek regard ing the mining in the Cassiar, they did not have time to inves- tigate for themselves They found number of old-timers who were encouraged by the showings all ready made.

BETTER WAYS TO GET GOLD"

There are better ways to get gold than mining it. the Spokane Spokes- man-Reyiew editorially opines. The entire seasons output of the the CassiaE. this important daily adds. is hardly equal to the annual return from a Palouse wheat farm, or an apple orchard around Yakima or Wenatchee.
 Waal-l. mebbe so, mister, mebbe so. but then there's them as has heard different
 There may also be better ways to get yenison than by killing it. and better ways to obtain a fur coat than by trapping it. But somehow or other the miners and the trap pers of the North don't care to give up their hardships for these better ways and they even think they are adding quite as much to the world s wealth as are the ranchers and ap- ple-growers of less rugged climes.
 Doubtless there are better ways to get gold than by editing and pub fishing daily newspapers or semi monthly magazines, but there are some undelusioned cusses who just won't do anything else. - Mining Truth

Cousin of Eddie Kalkins Loses Her: Arm, in an
 Automobile Accident

Eddie Kalkins on Tuesday receiv- ed a letter telling of a serious au- tomobile accident in which his cous- in. Miss Clara Chris, lost her arm. A Chicago daily published the fol- lowing account of the accident:
 A girls arm was literally chopped off in a side-swipe collision of a Midwest Bus and Ford Sedan almost in front of the East Side police sta tion about 12:30 o'clock this morn ing. The girl was a passenger in an inbound Bus from Gary and had her arm severed between the elbow and the shoulder which was picked up in the street, while her wrist watch became loosened and fell into the Ford Sedan.
 Miss Clara Chris, 20 years old, 6SO1 Clyde avenue, the victim, was rushed to South Chicago hospital not knowing that her arm had been cut off in the accident.
 "Is my arm broken?" she asked several persons who came to her assistance. bound up her arm and rushed her to the South Alaska hos pital.
 Miss Chris was sitting on the right side of the bus with her arm on the open window ledge. The Ford was going in the opposite di- rection when the two cars side swiped. Broken glass from the Ford Sedan windows is believed to have chopped off the girls arm. There was an expensive ring on one of the fingers when the severed arm was picked up on the street by a bus employee and turned over to the police. The girl not know ing the nature of the accident was concerned about her purse. Later while waiting for a conveyance to take her to the police station she tainted on the street.
 A brother of Miss Chris visited Eddie Kalkins and his father in Wrangeii four years ago. Two years ago Eddie Kalkins visited his cousin in Chicago. He says she girl was to have been married next month.
