FIRE COMPANY CARNIVAL
Good Weather-Large Attendance
Liberal Patronage

The members of the Community
Fire Company are gratified with the
result of the carnival that ended or
Saturday night with record
crowd and the largest receipts for q
single evening during the seven
nights of the affair.
With the exception of Friday eve
ming, July 27, when rain prevented
the opening of the carnival accord
ing to schedule, the firemen were
favored with good weather, and
while the gross receipts fell short of
those of last year, which has been
the experience of all carnivals this
year, the patronage of the public
was generous.
On Tuesday evening of last week
the parade feature brought out a
large crowd, but that of Saturday,
the closing night, was even larger,
interest being centered in the award
ing of the fine Chrysler automobile.
The ticket drawn from the cylind-
er by blindfolded lad bore the
name G. M. Beck, Kennette Square,
Pa. Mr.. Beck was present and lost
no time in claiming his prize. He
stated he had purchased three tick
cts. Not bad return for rs cents.
The receipts for seven nights were
as follows: Saturday, July 28, ST.
I42.53;. Monday, July 80, $356.22;
Tuesday, July 81, $1,760.42; We'd
nesday, August 1, $53O.S1; Thurs
day, Aug. 2, $639.15; Friday, Aug.
9, $601.66; Saturday, Aug. A, $2,-
554.47, making a total of $7,585.26.
This was about $4,000 less than the
receipts of the carnival last year, but
the members of the fire company are
greatly pleased with the result.

"SIMPLE" WAY OF CLEANING
CONCRETE MIXER

The laying of concrete on the Zion
road was held UP several days last
week, when the mixer was put out o.
commission. A Quantity of concrete
left in the machine over night had
hardened, and one Of the wofkmen
conceived the bright idea OF break
ing it up with dynamite, as it would
be so much less trouble than using
an iron bar for the purpose. The
dynamite loosened the concrete all
right, but did not stop there, blow
ing hole in the mixer and holding
up work on the road until the ma
chine could be repaired.

CRIMES HAS GOOD
 PACK; HERRING SHOW

Word from Kodiak on the last boat Is to the effect that o. L Grimes who erected a new cannery on Kodi- ak is prospering. In spite of the fact that the general run of fish around Kodiak was not good one the Grimes plant had a very good catch.
 Herring in that vicinity are just beginning to show but the run is spotted.
 With pups showing we'll, indications are that the fox fur crop will be normal or better on the Kodiak-Afog- Inak group this coming season. Last year put several fox farmers on their fleet after many discouragements, and the industry as whole is very much improved. Eagle are taking heavy toll of the fox on the less timbered islands, it is said.

EXCELLENT DREDGING
 GROUND MOOSE PASS
 DISTRICT GOING STRONG

There are six miles of good dredg ing ground on Canyon creek in the Moose Pass country open to any az gregation of capital that wishes to consider it, according to Joe Wilson, old time prospector and claim owner of that district. Furthermore, there are men making good over there, shoyeling in and hydraulicking. Some more real prospecting should open up considerable counry, in MT. Will sons opinion, because good pannings have been made on many creeks, in- dicating that follow-up work would get good results.
 Mir. Wilson, at the Seward Hotel, 1 is sojourning in the city for short time but announces his intention of getting back on the ground early next week. The work now going on this summer presages better activity next season as the thought gradually sinks home that there is much worth while ground in that district.
 Oscar Dahl of the Seward hotel who is associated with c. w. Stone Iof Los Angeles, is hydraulicking on their lease on the Wilson property on Canyon creek, averaging around I$4OO in q 3-day run. Mike Connolly has rich ground on Six Mile The Wivel property below the Wilson ground on Canyon is showing good gold values; if the Nels Anderson dam had not washed out last spring on Canyon creek, operations would Lave gone forward at better pace.
 Fred Metz IS shoVel1ng in on Mills Creek, tributary of Canyon and is making good money; Bob Mickleson on Canyon is also taking out little money.
 The excellent progress of the Bur eau of Public Roads work will be of immense benefit to the present and prospective operators of that district, MT. Wilson says. Men have been handicapped by hard transportation conditions in getting in pipe, food and machinery. Better roads avail able will greatly stimulate activity in that country The residents in the Pass are all anxious for the day when it will be possible to motor to town in Alaska which, of course, is Seward

Man Has Found Many
Uses for the Nutmeg

The nutmeg tree is one of the most
useful trees in the tropic forests. An
ordinary tree will yield from 1000 to
10000 nuts in year. All parts of the
fruit are in demand for culinary pur-
poses. In Singapore the natives salt
the husks, and in drink saloons they
are supplied for the purpose of Gre
ating thirst. A delicious preserve is
also prepared from the husks. The
nutmeg is employed in medicine as a
carminative stimulant, and fat from
the nut-the so-called nutmeg butter
is used as an application for rheu-
matism. 1t contains from 3 to per
cent Of volatile oil, and the substance
myrsticin, which possesses narcotic
properties. Cases of poisoning as a
result of chewing nutmegs have been
recOrded--a single nutmeg seriously
affecting the cerebral functions of
man.

hand early, ready for the interview.
Usually upon their arrival they found
all the office force in their places,
busily at work. Not so this morning.
Not soul was to be seen. The senior
member INDUCED in violent language.
The second member paced the floor
and wondered in StentOrian tones
what in the name of the seven seas
had happened. Suddenly the door
opened and one by one the eight pale
faced. heavy-eyed individuals crept
guiltily to their desks. "What in thun-
der is tho matter with you all? in
quired Townsend, as he viewed with
growing wrath what he had often
boosted was the finest looking, most
efficient office force to be found. AS
the wan and weary-looking switch
board operator dropped into her chair
she murmured, weekend party, Mr..
Briggs, storm on lake, seasick. Oh, my
soul ~ and laid her bobbed head upon
the desk and wept.
A half hour later Briggs, well
groomed as always, jaunty and self
satisfied, walked into the office, hav-
ing motored around the lake in his
own car. He entered with the mien
of man who expects and deserves an
ovation, but his merry greeting died
on his lips as he viewed the scene.
Fine demonstration of efficiency
you've staged for u.s." Numbered the
senior member. Lumber outfit will
be here in ten minutes. Pretty lot of
assistants we've got to help us on this
strenuous morning."
That a night on the stormy deep
does not fit one for accurate alert serv-
ice was proved dozen times in the
following hectic hours, when leaden-
eyed and languid stenographer for the
first time in her experience failed to
decipher her notes; when wan, just
about-to faint switchboard operator
tangled up the lumber mems phone
calls until they were desperate and
panic-stricken office boy couldn't be
made to get an order through his
head
When before the end of a two-hours'
conference the lumber magnates took
their departure with very evident dis
satisfaction and no inclination to ad-
journ the session to some later date
there was slamming of doors and the
three members of the firm were clos
eted in the private office of the head
AS the office force held it's individual
and collective breath there floated
through the keyhole and transom in
the strident sarcastic voice of the Sc.
nior member, "Pretty expensive week
end party you've given us, Briggs.
Note it on our books as costing about
half a million-what in the end the
business of that lumber company
would have brought US.
"The next time, Briggs" and the
senior partners voice rose to a wild
crescendo that sent shivers down the
spine of the pretty stenographer, 'the
next time you plan a social function
to promote efficiency and create esprit
de corps in the office force of this
firm, please consult us and We'll ar
range to hire the ballroom of a hotel
and engage the symphony orchestra to
play for q dance. 1t will be cheaper
than trip across the lake for week
end party"

The Fioyds

In summer the fjords glitter with
golden sunshine; purple and green
shadows from the mountains lie on
them. These may be more lovely than
the faint light of winter moons and
the snowy pictures of frozen peaks
which show on their surface. But
before day is half over, out come the
stars-the glorious stars which shine
like nothing that we have ever seen.
There, the planets cast faint shadow
as the moon does with us; and these
planets and the consultations, as they
silently glide from peak to peak of
the rocky passes, are imaged on the
waters so clearly that the fisherman,
as he unmoors his boat for his eve
ming task, feels as though he were
about to shoot forth his vessel into
another heaven, and to cleave his way
among the stars.-Harriet Martineau.
