Today the person who wishes to keep abreast of world affairs needs to read something besides news papers, valuable as they may be, and the public library is the place to come for this larger view of great problems.
 At present, England and Poland are attracting special attention 10 their national life and we have a good collection of books about both countries. On the open shelves. easily accessible, have been placed a few of the readable ones. How England Is Governed" and Eng land After War" two books by C. F. c. Masterman, put one in touch with the form of government and some of the problems of the coun- try. The State Of England" by "A Gentleman with Duster," Essays and Adventures of a Labor M. r" by Wedgwood, Contemporary Po- nticaI Thought in England" by Reckon, An Outline of the British Labor Movement by Blanchard, are a very few of the titles. There are also recent autobiographies of notable men and women, such as My Apprenticeship" by Beatrice Webb, and Yiscount Grey's "Twen- ty-fve Years"
 The books about Poland are not as numerous yet we have fairly good showing with Poland and the Polish Question" by Ninian Hill, "The White Eagle of Poland" by Benson. The Partitions of Po- land" by Lord Eversley, "Outlines Of Polish History" by Dyboski, and sketches in Poland" by Little. In the reading room one should not forget the weekly editions of The .

and their attainments are 50 per cent of what they should be. Sometimes there are those who rank about 50 per cent in endowments, but their re- turns are 100 per cent. Others are blessed with about 50 per cent of what we like to call "genius, and their attain ments are about in that ratio.
 The trouble with our world is that most of it's people are in the third class, when they could just as we'll be in the second class mentioned. A mediocre kind of work is being accomplished, when it should be first class. The reason for this is that those of limited endowments claim exemption from responsibility. That prin- ciple is not only wrong, but it is perilous. Refuse to use your right arm for a few weeks, and you will find it hard to use. Fail to exercise it for a few months, and you lose the use of it. That atrophy of dis use is manifested in our heav- en-born gifts. The less we do, tn e less do we want to do. Disinclination to serve arises from moral atrophy. It is the result of failing to exercise the gifts we do have.
 The person most highly bless ed is not he with many endow- ments, but it is he who uses what he does have. The first may be spectacular, but the latter is far more useful.

THE AVERAGE

The worlds work is carried on by average folks. Occasion ally we have a Burns, a Shakespeare, a Caesar, or a Napoleon, but they are rare. The output of humanity is, on the whole, only fair; fair ser mons, fair poems, fair manu- factured products, fair crops raised, fair business and fair professional accomplishments. This is because most people are not willing to put forth the utmost effort. They are con- tent with the average. Not somewhat better" but "that will suffice" Instead of most of us giving all we can of self, we try to figure out what the smallest amount is that will answer. The average in people is seen in two sthings-inheri- talace and attachments. Some people are blessed with about 10O per cent native ability,

WHAT WE NEED.

There are many things we need in Hyder, but a few are vital and outstanding above all others.
 We need stabilitiy--the will power to determine what is right and a determination to see that only that which is right prevails.
 We need @ spirit of unani- mity--the ability and willing ness to agree upon what we want and then go after it and get 1t.
 We need aggressiveness--for without aggressiveness, indol- ence and stagnation will be our lot.
 We need Ioyalty--for without loyalty we will be enriching commercial interests at distant points and impoverishing our people at home.
 Some communities thrive and grow because of their natural advantages. Others are made only through the dogged- en- ergy and perseverance of their citizenship. Ours will be. what we make it, and we should make it all that we can.

GOLD FOUND IN
 ALASKA IN 1882

Many tourist visiting Alaska ask the question "When was gold first discovered in the north?" According to statistics available in the Territorial Li- brary the following is prob ably the most authentic ans wer that can be given:
 Gold was first discovered in Alaska on the Anauk river a tributary of the Kuskokwim river which joins the latter stream about 25 miles below the trading post of Kalmakofl- sky. The Anauk river was dis covered by Ivan Cimenson Lu- keen, in 1882, at which time he built a fort, called Lukeen's fort, on the Kuskokwim river 25 miles above the mouth of the Anauk. It was partially destroyed by natives in 1841, and rebuilt by Kalmakoff, a Russian trader, afterwards and called Kalmakoff Re- doubt.
 In 1882 the headquarters of the Russian-American Trading Company were at Sitka, and
 supplies were transported from there to Lukeen's fort by way of Nushagak river, ,Ticchic riv- er and lake, and down the Anauk riyer to the Kusko- kwim river, and thence up stream 25 miles 10 the fort. | In 1887 the yearly supplies
 were sent in by way of the
 mouth of the KUsKokwim riv-
 ar, and the old way abandon
 ed as a summer route, ana used only for the purpose o1
 sending out the mails during che winter by dog teams.
 It was the only winter route
 he Russians ever used iron. any point on the Yukon to the outside (Sitka) and was only abandoned for the purpose
 after they left the country. 1 It was while on one of these trips in 1882 that the Russians discovered gold on the Anauk, 1 which is known today as the Yellow river of the Russians, It is not known whether they ever attempted mining on a large scale, or whether they found gold in paying quanti- ties, but is is believed this was the first time on record of gold being found in Alas ka.-- Stroller's Weekly.

gan in earnest on either end Of the
line.
At first the point of meeting for
the two lines was designated as $50
miles into Nevada from the west,
but those interested in the Central
Pacific, induced Congress to leave 1t
indefinite. The government loan
was doubled in the rough section,
and trebled in the mountains. The
high plateau of Nevada, having been
listed as mountainous, there was a
desire on the part of both lines to
reach there first. Fear that the roads
might overlap, finally led to the
point of meeting being placed by
Congress on the north shore of Salt
Lake, at PrOmOntOry Point.

I deem it-twice to have crossed
Il the Plains in that staunch craft, a
prairie schooner, and to have taken
the Journey from Omaha to Utah, by

night from the mud flats by the Mis-

the forlorn little town where we out

Along the way the railroad eating
stations furnished nuclei for future
towns. Cheyenne, because of its ia
vorable location at the point where
the road branched to Denver, was the
most promising of these. AS we ap-
preached the mountains, there were
fewer settlements to be seen, the
country retaining the wild aspect
with which 1 was familiar.
The railroad itself, was not con-
dHcted as I saw it three years later,

Facts About Yellowstone
Yellowstone became a national

gress. 1t is 81 miles long and "a
miles wide, an area Of 3,348 square
miles, OF 2,142, 72O acres. The entire
region is volcanic; the central pOr-
ton is a broad plateau between 1000
and $500 feet above sea level; sur
rounding it on the south, east, north
and northwest are mountain ranges
rising from 1000 to 1000 feet above
the plateau.
Geysers, the grand canyon, the hot
springs, the lakes, waterfalls, rivers,
