ALASKA RAILROAD DECREASES
 DEFICIT BY $7S,O4O.

According to the annual report of Secretary of the Interior Harold L. lckes. recently made public in Wash ington, D. C., the operating deficit for the Alaska Railroad for the ifs cal year ending June 30, 1884, was S178,973. decrease of $78,110 from the previous year.
 Improvement came despite a de- crease of 3,967 tons ip rail line ton. mage during 1884 from the previous year, due to lower commercial coal shipments. The increase in revenue, the report explained, was caused b3 the increased shipment of lumber gasoline, and outbound fish.
 The secretary said the railroad has continued it's investigation of the mining resources in the territory tributary to it and aided projects that would contribute tonnage as well as those that effected the gen. eral welfare of the territory.
 Increased traffic for the railroad was predicted for the future.
 "Placer and dredging activities i'll the Fairbanks district and other sections adjacent to the railroad in dicate increased and continued ac- tivities," the report said. "A water shortage in 1883 seriously affected the output of the placer workers The outlook for the year 1884 is very favorable, considering the price received for gold and indications of sufficient water for operations"

UNCLE WIGGILY'S PARCHED
CORN


for food when they went on a
journey through the woods.
THAT is very interesting, Baby
Bunty," said Miss Mouse.
Its good to eat, too, mean the
parched corn is, nice and brown, and
it tastes the way Johnnie Bushytail
says roast chestnuts TASTE" said
Baby Bunty.
Everybody in class looked at the
squirrel boy and he got sort of red
behind the ears. Then Miss Mouse
said:
Baby Bunty has told us so much
about how the Indians parched their
corn and it really sounds so delicious
to eat think I shall telephone I'm
Gle Wiggily to come and show us
how to make it. There will be no
more school today. Well get Uncle
Wiggily to teach us more about
parched corn"
Murray! Murray! Hurray!' cried
all the animal children
When Miss Mouse telephoned to
the rabbit gentleman he said he
would hop over to the school at once
and bring some ears of corn with
him, since it was now too late in the
season to gather any in the fields.
Soon Uncle Wiggily was at the
Hollow Tree School. Books, pencils
and papers were put away. The rab-
bit gentleman had brought many
ears of dried sweet corn with him.
Mr.. Longtail, the mouse gentleman,
gave them to him.
Easier Way
Uncle Wiggily also brought big
pan and a coffee grinder with him,
for he said it would be easier to
make parched corn that way than
on hot stones as the Indians did.
They would have used pans and
coffee grinders If they had owned
any in the early days." said the rab-
bit gentleman. He Shuffled off the
dried sweet corn kernels. There was
a fire in the school stove
Soon the corn was parching on it
and filling the air with the lovelieSt
smell. When the kernels were nicely
Drowned Mr.. LongearS ground some
of them into meal with the coffee
grinder, Then he passed it around.
The little animal children ate
ground parched corn but the older
ones cheWed the whole kernels like
nuts or candy and they said they
had never tasted anything better.
SO the parched corn party was a
great success. And if the water pis
tol will squirt some molasses on the
