Surprise.

That other folk have not been blind.
-Reddy Fox.
Wisely, Mrs. Reddy asked no ques-
tions of Reddy Fox when, lame, bruised,
wounded and muddy, he returned home.
She simply did what she could to make
him feel better. She licked his wounds
and helped him clean his coat. Then
she left him to keep watch of the six
lively little Foxes playing around the
doorstep and went hunting. No matter
what might happen there must be food
for those six little mouths. Reddy felt
that he should be off hunting, too, but
he knew the best thing he could do was
to remain quiet for while.
"I wonder what Mrs. Reddy thinks
happened to me-" thought he as he lay
watching the youngsters play. "Of
course, I'll have to tell her. I don't
want to, but I must. I'm ashamed to
let her know that I wasn't smart
enough to get those young Marsh Hawks
and not be caught doing it. Perhaps
I ought to have told her about that
nest. Working together, we might have
succeeded. Now Whitehall and Mrs.
Whitehall know that I know about that
nest and one or the other will always
be on guard"
Late that afternoon Mrs Reddy laid
down beside him She was tired, for
she had been hunting most of the day
However, she had had good luck and
the six youngsters had full stomachs
and were taking q nap. Reddy was just
getting ready to tell her what had hap
pened to him when she spoke.
Whitehall or Mrs. Whitehall must
have returned home rather unexpect-
edly," said she. There was a twinkle
in her eyes which Reddy didn't see.

"Do-do-do you know where that

Waste.

Isn't it exasperating to watch the
woman who scrimps to save, but wastes
her money prodigally in little ways?
There are women who serve half por-
lions, cut down on help, and stint the
whole family on clothing purchases,
only to waste their own savings in petty
ways.
We know Of one woman who insists
upon starching her husbands soft COL
lars. The result is that he will not
wear a collar-attached shirt unless it is
forced upon him. A subsequent result
is that he wears a few shirts necessarily,
and wears them out. Other shirts are
not worn at all. They are wasted
Another woman couldn't understand
why her shoe bills were so high. We
learned that she threw shoes without
trees to hold them in shape into warm

became useless.

in some households Is the quaint GUS
tom of putting away clothes without
cleaning them first. The result is that

5 h O ol Zone
 Signs Warn Drivers

Complaints of overly fast driving between the school zone signs erected on Premier Avenue north and south of the school house suggest a caution to car drivers to observe great CT precautions in passing along that section now that school is again in session.
 The zone signs, installed some time ago for the Territory by Supt. T. H. Evans of the Bur- eau of Public Roads, are so placed as to give ample warn- ing to drivers of the proximity of the school house and the necessity for slowing down to a safe speed during school hours.

Soft Ball Proves Popular

Softball is fast gaining pop ularity in the district. Quite a number of games have been played so far and many more are scheduled before the snow flies. Wednesday evening the Hyder team won from the Can- adian Legion by a score of 10 to 3 in one of the snappiest games so far played and the Stewart team won from the Hyder by a score of 20 to 12 Thursday evening. The game had to be called on account of darkness at the 9th inning. The game was marked by the most spectacular catch ever witnessed here, when Louis Legge, of the Hyder team ac- tually caught a long fly that he did not see in the darkness until it landed in his hands. The ball, hit by Brigden of Stewart, flew up into the dusk in Louie's direction. He could not see it but players shouted that it was coming. He held out his hands and started searching the sky for a glimpse of the sphere, when it sudden ly plopped into his hands, much to Louie's surprise.
 There will be two games at Hyder next Sunday, September 20, starting at 1:3O, between the Moose teams of Hyder and Stewart and the Stewart School and regular Hyder teams.

Extensive Drill Program

Reports from the Big Mis- gouri this week are to the eff fact that the Buena Vista company plans an extensive drill program on the property during the winter, with 8 or 10 men employed in shifts. Nothing could be learned re- garding the character of the program or the proposed sites of activity.
 Something over 100 tons of sacked concentrates, derived from the operation of the pilot mill installed last year, are now piled up on the Crawford Jock enroute to the Consoli- dated shelter at Trail, B. C.. It is understood that the ship ment will go south next Mon- day night.

GOLD EXPORTS
 SHOW MARKED GAIN

Alaska gold shipments for the period from January l to the end of August exceeded those for the same period last year by $1,153,849, according to Customs House figures pub- lished in the Juneau Empire.
 Up to the end of August, the gold shipments for the first eight months of the year aggre- gated $4,967,234, while ship ments for the last month of the period totaled $1,002, ,464. an increase of $51,807 over the same month last year.
 For the last four months of 1880, shipments aggregated $3,856,072. If the rate for the coming four months this year does not fall below that of the same months last year, the pro- duction for 1881 will be more than $S,750,000. However, if the output for the coming four months maintains the same rate established in the first eight months, the years pro- duction will run between $9,- 500,000 and $10,000,O00.
 Increased yields from the Fairbanks district and the splendid output of the Alaska Juneau mine have been the major factors in the increased output, as shipments from the Second Division have been disappointing, owing to the lack of water. 7

New Limits Set in Parcel Post

The Interstate Commerce Commission has granted au- thority to the Postmaster Gen. eral to increase the limit of parcels in fourth-class mail matter from eighty-four inch es to one hundred inches in length and girth combined, with the establishment of a minimum charge for parcels over eighty-four inches.
 The ruling also permits an increase in the limit of weight for a single parcel from fifty to seventy pounds in all zones.
 Estimates were made the in- crease in weight limit will add $1,500,000 a year to the de- partment's revenue, while the increased limit in size will add $3,500,000 a year.
 The change became effective August 1.

SAYS J. s. OBSTACLE ID SILVER AGREEMENT

The Mining Journal, of Lon don, in a recent review of the silver situation, charged that the United States government is the real obstacle in the way of an international silver agreement.
 The London journal asserted that the American government and American press made it appear" that Great Britain and other European nations are re- luctant to enter such a con ference. On the contrary, the Journal asserted, these na- tions have been urging it.
 President Hoover is virtually charged with shelving the sil- yer question by the London paper.

Cave Full of Alaska
 Mummies Found
Found

A cave full of mummies of the Aleut tribe, an Indian race that has practically disappear ed from the face of the earth, has been found on a small is- land in the Boring sea.
 The mummies, several hun dred years old, were located by Moreau B. Chambers and James A. Ford, field archae- ologists of the national mu- scum, who reported their find to H. B. Collins, Jr., of the Smithsonian institution, ac- cording to press reports.
 The Aleuts, who inhabited the Aleutian islands that ex- tend like a long tail from the southwest corner of Alaska, have been so infused with Rus sian blood that they have prac- tically disappeared as a pure race, Collins says, and have lost most of their culture.
 Aleut mummies, unlike those of the Egyptians, were pre- served largely by the climate instead of by artificial means. The bodies were stuffed with grass, wrapped in native-wov- en cloth and the skins of seal and sea otters. They were pre- served by the climate, Collins reported.

New Mail Schedule

A marked curtailment in the number of Seattle mail dispatches to Alaska and a change in the delivery sched- ule of Seattle mails via Ket- chikan were indicated in post office advices received by Postmaster Oren F. Hill this week.
 Under the new schedule there will be but one weekly dis patch of Alaska mail from Seattle by the American steamships between October }, 1881 and March 19, 1882. Mails will leave Seattle only on Tuesday mornings. As a re- 3ult, mails despatched for Fly der via Ketchikan will leave the latter point at 6 D. m.

Outlook For Salmon Trail Poor

The outlook for the construct ion of a trail from the Salmon River highway to serve prop critics along the west slope of the divide between the Sal mon River and Fish Creek valley is apparently some what remote, according to advices received a few days ago by Oren F. Hill from Wm. F.. Hesse, territorial highway en- gineer.
 As a trail to the properties along the upper slopes of that section is badly needed and has been endorsed by the Chamber of Commerce, the matter was called to MT. Hesse's attention by MT. Hill during the formers recent wis it here.
 MT. Hesse promised to do what he could on his return to Juneau. The message, sent since his return to the capital city, says nothing can be done at present, as the Territorial road building fund is exhaust ed and also the Forest Service trail funds.

YOUNG SAYS SILVER
 REVIVAL IS DUE

Owen D. Young, famous financier and industrial lead CT, in a recent adress in New York, raised his voice in be- half of silver by declaring that a revival of the silver question is due, adding, how ever, that this time it will be an international issue.
 MT. Young pictured the Unit ed States as the great creditor nation of the world, trustee of 40 per cent of the worlds gold supply and the possessor of great reservoirs of credit.
 One of Americas problems, he said, is how these assets may be used to create and maintain stability in the worlds exchanges so that the interdependent economic life of all nations shall go on more prosperously.
 Gold is only a partial cover, less than 10 per cent of the outstanding currencies and credit, promises of men back up 90 per cent" he said.

Canada will call an official silver conference if President Hoover does not act on the sil- yer question within 30 days according to an unofficial statement handed to officers ot the Northwest Mining Associa- ton after the recent Pittman silver meeting, it is reported in the September 3 issue of Mining Truth.
 Premier Bennett, according to that journal, is said to be seriously concerned over the delay in the formal call, and to have made up his mind to act if President Hoover causes further delay.
