FADING LEAVES.

"We all do fade as a leaf" is a Biblical phrase more or less melancholy, The thought of fading is not a happy one. We speak of fading beauty, a fading mind or body, but nobody wants to fade. There is a hint of late autumn in fading leaves, of waning powers, as when Macbeth ex- claimed, My way of life is fall'n into the scar, the vel low leaf"
 Yet leaves do not always fade in such a manner as to warrant somber reflection. Many leaves fade amidst a glory and beauty such as fills the western sky when there is a red sunset. Were it not for the fading leaf the splen- dors of autumn would be lost and gone from the landscape the vivid splashes of crimson, glorious hues of orange, and more sedate shades of maroon and russet. Look at the hills surrounding Hyder and see the glory and beauy of the Autumn. "The melancholy lays" are here. Don't believe it. It was a mournful moment that inspired genius to paint a somber canvas of natures most glorious garb. Frost is on the pumpkin and the fod- der's in the shock" Every hill is radiant with flaming reds

 The findings of the bureau of mines may constitute a warn ing against undue hope in wildcatting but it is not like ly to affect it greatly. The possibility of great gain, even though remote, is a lure that appeals to men and it is prob able that there will be future losses in dry holes much as in the past. Those who do invest in such enterprises have the joys of pursuit for a time, ev- en if they realize no other reward.

THE WORLD SERIES

People who never attended a world series ball game have little idea of the thrill of sus- pense that sways that vast as- semblage as those decisive innings slip away. The low scores suggest the intense con- centration with which every man is playing.
 It is not merely a beautiful domonstration of athletic skill, but wonderful display of discipline. If the instant obedi- ence given to the leaders of the team, and the absolute submission to the laws of the game, could be transplanted to the industrial and social world, this would be a differ ent country.
 One of the finest manfestat- ions of the world series games, is the display of self control by the players. Those fellows realize very keenly how much depends on their ability to think quick and carry out their thoughts. It is not merely the money they can make by win ming but the effect on their prestige and future sporting career.
 But in spite of the intensity and anxiety of the moment, these fellows play with scalm self-assurance Thereby they give a lesson to ambitious folks that self control is one of the biggest things in the world, and lies close to the heart of all success.

A. o. Campbell, organizer of the Alaska Airship Co., which proposes to establish a dirig- ible airship service between Seattle and Alaska, was in Juneau recently in the interest of the company and reported that about 75 Alaskans are stockholders in the project. Anchorage has been selected as the headquarters of the or ganization and the trustees are all Alaskans located in Cordova, Seward, Anchorage, Nenana and Fairbanks. MrI. Campbell stated it is the aim of the company to place a small dirigible on the Seattle Alaska route to begin with and add other and larger air ships as needed.
 The proposal is one of con- siderable interest to Alaskans bcause of the probability that airship transportation would result in a great reduction in che time now required to GOV. CT the distance between Se- attle and Alaska.
