NAVIGATION ON
 YUKON CLOSES; STEAMERS OFF
Transportation Business Is Good This Year, Says
 Newspaper Man

Among the arrivals from Skag- way on the Margnita this morning was Charles R. Settlemier. en- route from the Mayo mining dis trict, in which he has a number of silver-lead properties. He is en- route south on business and will be here a day or two. MT. Settle mier is one of the pioneer news- paper men of the North, and for years editor of the Dawson News, in which he still retains an in- terest. He will return to the Mayo district during the winter or in the spring. Speaking of the conditions in the Yukon, he said.
 q left Mayo on the steamer Keno on the last sailing of the year from that port, visited Daw- son. and made Whitehorse on one of the last boats of the year. The steamer Yukon, of the Dawson- Nenana run has since arrived in Whitehorse, where she will win ter. The steamer Nasutlin, the last boat of the year to go down the Yukon from Whitehorse for Dawson with freight, arrived at Dawson Monday, and started back Tuesday. She has the last pas sengers of the year. The ice is running from the Stewart River and the Pelly and other side streams, and the Nasutlin will have some ice to buck on the first part of her run up the river.
 Good Business
 "The transportation business on the Yukon has been good this year. Heavy freight shipments were made to the Mayo silver lead camps and to the placer field lat Dawson, and tourist travel was good. while the prospect is that Itraffic will be considerably in- creased both in and out next sea- son. Operations of the Treadgold interests. which control the Klon- ldike placer fields, have been very active this season. Not a man was idle in the Klondike gold lfields or in the Mayo district. [The .Treadgold dredges were all 'operating excepting one, and it will be in commission next year.
 Aviation Developing
 Aviation is developing rapidly in the Yukon. The Treadwell Yukon plane, which arrived at Mayo about a month ago, has made a number of successful trips between Whitehorse, Mayo and Dawson. It Is being turned over Greenfield & Pickering, for use this winter, and will carry mall and passengers. The plane makes ] the trip between Whitehorse and Mayo in about two and a half hours, and between Mayo and Dawson in an hour and thirty minutes. The initial flight, under direction of Livingston Wernecke, General Superintendent of the Treadwell interests in the Yukon, have been highly successful. IGreenfield & Pickering have a \ new moth plane at Whitehorse, ] which arrived last week, and will l be used as an auxiliary to the larger plane. The Yukon Airways l Company also has plane coming for general service in the terri ftory. It is now flying on the 1 coast under direction of Clyde iWann, one of the original promot- Iers of the company

Listen Girls: Read Lady Esther's
Free Offer. He Loves a Perfect Skin

When we first told you of this
remarkable cream, there were
some women inclined to be doubt
full. However, they figured if
Lady Esther really did all she
claimed, she at least would be
worth a trial.
Now--well, after the first APP
plication of Lady Esther Face
Cream-they were absolutely sold
on it. Their complications you
should see them-so delicately
smooth and clear. Only days of
loneliness and exquisite charm
ahead.
Why not be beautiful like other
women who use this wonderful
cream Especially when Lady
Esther is so generous as to give
you a special offer of a 25-cent
proof jar absolutely free when
you purchase any regular size jar
at Soc or 75c. Use the proof jar
first (last 10 days. and if you
don't say it is the finest cream
you ever used return the regular
size jar and get your money back.
Thousands of Washington women
have already accepted this ex.

By Constance Cameron

When your child exhibits what
seems to you to be an unreason-
able fear OF something, or refuses
to obey you. 1t is well to stop and
talk with him for a few moments
to decide the question as to
whether he understood you or not.
Many Of our English words sound
alike. and some have the identical
sound. meaning entirely opposite
things. For instance, we show
child building in the course of
being torn down and we say the
building is being RACED. We show
him flag sliding up q pole and we
tell him the flag Is being raised.
Both words sound alike, but In one
instance the child sees something
gong down and Iii the next an oh
ject going up. He has no memory
of printed word to guide him.
The sound ii his only key to what
you are explaining, and when the
words sound alike we can't blame
him for wondering a bit as to our
sanity.

WADING POOL
FOR KIDS

A wading pool for the juvenile
members of the family may dis
place the time-honored sandpile OF
another day. according to the gar
den editor of the Woman's Home
Companion.
Pointing out that such pools
now can be built at cost as low
as Sill so, the writer quotes one
mother who declares that such an
addition to child's playground VIII
help make Ibis own back yard the
most attractive spot imaginable.
The pool built at cost OF $ll.6o
called for use of only four sacks OF
cement, one dollars worth of SAND
taken from the old sandplle'
which then was forgotten-and a
small supply of lumber.
1.-THE pool became the dearest
playground of every child in the
neighborhood," says the writer,
describing one such Juvenile play
place. Here they waded ana
splashed. They carried water in
small dishes and pals to make end
less mud pies, thus satisfying the
craving that every child has to
play in the water.
It was placed far enough from
the house to assure having the
morning sun. The excavation was
