Once upon time a man died and went to he'll. We are told he spent all eternity between shifts on the coal pile in banning the minis ters of his home town for not hay ing saved his soul, notwithstanding that he had given them no coop eration in this direction during his life time. There is many a man in this world today who feels it his duty to criticize the Chamber of Commerce because his town has fall en into a bad way along business and financial lines. Like the man who blamed the preacher for not saving his soul he thinks the Cham Der of Commerce is responsible for lack of work. relief line and failing population.

FIRST ALASKA COAL MINED
 WAS IN PAT CLEARY'S CAMP

In the early days of Alaska coal was more precious than the yellow metal that men were taking from the beach sands. The only ones who seemed to have an adequate supply were the saloons. and men crowded around the red hot stoves fingered until the last possible mo- ment.
 A prospector made a coat with a sack inside. Each evening he would go down to the North Star Wine Palace and sit by the coal box, and when no one was looking. would slip a lump of coal into his pocket go to the bar and buy drink and return to his shack.
 He did this repeatedly and the proprietor. Pat Cleary. noticed that the coal box became depleted in an alarming manner. but was unable to determine the cause. One night the prospector stayed too long and filled his sack too full. so that when he tried to rise he tripped and fell back on the floor. spilling out several Jumps. Pat immediately bounced upon him. made him un- load and kicked him out in the snow. Laughing heartily. he called out: Everybody step up. The drinks are on me It is the first time anybody ever mined coal in Pat Cleary's camp"

MERCY PILOT

Outsiders who read of Pilot Barnhills heroic mercy flight, a distance of over TOO miles, made at night to the aid of a woman criti- caliy i'll. will probably get a pass ing thrill at the courage shown by the pilot, but to the residents of Interior Alaska a far deeper feeling is involved. With expert medical attention, obtainable in only the larger towns, the closest to us being Anchorage, Fairbanks or Sc ward, the question of transporting an i'll person must be entirely by plane. To know that the pilots are not only eager to serve but will risk their lives to answer the call of mercy gives a sense of security and gratitude.
 One reads daily in the Alaskan newspapers of injured, ill or frost bitten people being rushed by plane to the nearest hospital. The amount of suffering or of lives saved makes a notable record, but it is all in the days work for the pilot, who is concerned with landing his patient quickly and safely.
 Although planes are a common sight in most Alaskan towns, more so, perhaps than in many sections of the States. pilots of the North fly under much more hazardous conditions Night flying is not the beacon lighted trail of the outside nor are the landing fields lighted and runways marked. It is who'll ly up to the skill of the pilot and his knowledge of the country.
 Flying under such difficult con- ditions with landing fields hun dreds of miles apart and often lit tie better than a forced landing in a rural pasture in the States might be. is it any wonder that the re- cipients of the services extend ap- preciation and gratitude to the flyers-Kusko Times-Takotna.

DENTIST MUSHES FROM NOME
 TO FAIRBANKS WITH RACERS

Dr. o. A. Braafladt. who had a dentist practice in Wrangell sev- eral years ago. arrived in Fair banks recently, having driven his racing team of thirteen dogs from Nome.
 He stopped at many places en- route to do dental work. When he arrived at Unalakleet in December the trail was bare and Boring Sea and numerous bays were open. just little floating ice. Dr. Braafladt left Unalakleet the middle of January, the same day at the Unit ed States mail dog team left that place for Nulato. The mail carrier and the ''mushing dentist took turns breaking trail as the snow was from two to six feet deep in places.
 From Nulato on up the river the doctor said there was no trail un- til he hit Tanana. He broke trail all the way through from Nulato From Panama to Nenana he con- tacted with another dog mail car rier, This trail was fairly good with the exception of a few miles, where snow had drifted.
 pr. Braafladt said he would rest his dogs, three of which were fro zen, and if he could get them in condition after the long mush from Nome he would enter them in the Fairbanks Dog Derby to he run next month.

MORE GAME WARDENs NEEDED TO PROTECT ALAS. WILD LIFE


 and Yentna, says the Seward Gate way. believes that wild game life in Alaska would be better protect ed if there were more game war dens in the Territory, a belief that is based upon expert experiences, having himself been game warden in the state of Idaho for 10 years. Too much territory has to be covered by the oyerworked war dens, said Kennedy. and it can not be expected that efficiency can be of the 100 per ent variety
 He is also firm believer in gen erous bounties for predatory a3i- mals, and is personally acquaint- ed with many competent hunters who would make hunting wolves and coyotes their chief business if returns justified.
 Coyotes Increase In the three years that ha ha lived at Talkeetna and Yentna h. has noted a growth of coyotes and more seem to be coming in every year He feels that the depletion of wild fur in that region is largely the result of the persistent forays of carniyorous killers.
 Moose. however. is on the in crease in his region, and he cred it's this to some extent to more travel by plane and practically the abandonment of dogsled traffic The latter system made it entirely too convenient for the slaughter of moose, feels the veteran game ex- pert.
 The preservation of wild game in Alaska is a favorite subject with Kennedy and considering Alaska | is Americas last frontier, import ant steps should be taken, he be- lieves, to make lasting wild life within it's border.
 An inadequate catch of mink and ermine constituted his catch this winter. he said, and his poor success was duplicated by many others that followed the traplines. I1ICle 0nOW
 But Kennedy does not depend upon trapping alone. Tn the summer | it is mining that claims his atten- tion, and he is well satisfied with results that have so far greeted his 1 efforts. What troubles him now is the thought of possible shortage of water in 1885.
 So little snow has fallen in the Cache creek district" he said, that it was January before could use snowshoes. An unusually late date. Just now there is a downpour of rain, but that will be of no use a few months hence, par ticularly considering the frozen state of ground.
 No Empty Cabins
 All the heavy work about Vent na is hydraulic, the only dredge in the district having been idle for a number of year. It is too large for the creek work, anyway"
 Talkeetna is thickly populated this winter, said Kennedy. Hardly an empty cabin in the community. More people are living there, he was told, than at any time since railroad construction days.
