sTrKugB AND oAssIAB HOEsHOTs
 (By Ken Neylle)

htr. Mcbride, who was manager Of the Hudson's Bay Company post at Dease Lake for almost a year. arrived in Telegraph Creek last week with his fiancee and his sis ter. His transfer from the post came suddenly and as a great surprise.
 It may be recalled that in a recent story in this column it was stated that his friends on learning of his transfer offered a fervent prayer to the Gods of matrimony that this turn of events would in no way in terfere with his marriage which was planned to take place near the end of September.
 However 1t is regretfully an nounced that due to the uncertainty Of this new situation the wedding has been indefinitely postponed.
 Lackaday-Or even two days-it still does not solve the problems of these young people, whose bid for happiness lies in the whimsical hands Of a trading company.

  the receiving end of a mOnstrous head of cabbage which was present. ed by the Rev. Will Thorman from his garden at Telegraph Creek.
 The tremendous size of the cab bage merits mention. Your column 'ist suggested that in order to make it impressive it's weight should be given out at 35 pounds. Captain Harrington, who frowns on exagger- ation, said, Don't lie about it; tell em it weighs 25 pounds, and he knew just as well as the writer that the actual weight was only 15 pounds.
 But a 15-lb head of cabbage is really some size and the discussion proves that sometimes one head Is better than two.

 Time rushes on and there is nothing which more definitely es- tablishes the fact that fall is here than realization that the Hazel B No. has made her last Stikine river trip of the season, forced into retirement by low water Even though the season has been prosaic in many ways, at least in one re- spect it has been outstanding, and that has come about through the acquisition of placer mining prop erty on Boulder Creek in the Little Muddy district by Capt. S. c. Bar rington and Joe A. Walsh.
 All machinery and supplies have been successfully moved to the head of Dease Lake, but there still remains 50 miles of rugged country separating Dease Lake and Boulder and those 50 miles constitute big problem. The men are confident, however, that the first of the year. will see everything transported toI Boulder and the camp ready for ac- tiyity with the coming of spring.

back to the platinum country.
 While Pilot Peterson declined to discuss his trip any more than to say 1t was just another shipment. . he said the dragline operated by the Goodnews Bay Mining Company up. set the production schedules there recently by producing more plati- mum than the dredge.
 They struck an unusually rich area and the dragline had a bigger cleanup than the dredge." he said.
 Meanwhile, local banks reported the flow of virgin gold continuing. Shipments arrive in Anchorage by automobile and airp1ane from all points. A banner year for gold and platinum production was predicted.

 Biggest White Metal Cleanup To

ANCHORAGE Sept. 11-The larg- est shipment Of platinum ever made in Alaska came Io Anchorage by airplane last night when Pilot Ray Peterson brought in $40 pounds of the precious metal after a stormy trip from the Kuskokwim.
 The metal was estimated to be worth $1o0,000 after refining. It came from the Goodnews Bay Min ing Company, operators of the mann moth dredge and a dragline near the town of Platinum
 Pilot Peterson left Goodnews Bay with his valuable load packed in five mail pouches. four or five days ago. He stopped at Bethel to await flying weather, during which time the platinum was placed in custody of the post office.
 Armed Guard
 Although there was little likeli- hood that any atttempt to steal the platinum would be made, an armed guard stood guard duty by the five
 
 large to go into the safe.
 Yesterday morning Pilot Peterson left Bethel for Anchorage, stopping at Kuskokwim ports on the way to check weather reports
 Clouds obscured visibility most of the way and the pilot darted through holes along the way, bring ing the $1O0.OOO to Anchorage. In Rainy Pass a strong wind was blow ing and the precious load was jos tied in the plane as it bumped up and down.
 Arriving in Anchorage at 6 D. m, the pilot found the post office closed Postmaster S. B. Pollock was called and she opened the office to receive the shipment.
 The platinum was packed in pokes made of moose hide and covered with canvas. The pokes were placed in the five pouches.
 Shortage of Stamps
 Shipments of platinum from Good news Bay have far exceeded expec- tations and shortage of stamps and pouches has resulted. The mining company has been experiencing diff faculties in procuring sufficient stamps to use on the platinum ship ments. Pilot Peterson purchased some in Anchorage today to take

No Crystal, but a Cave
Aids Weather PROPHETS

Amateur weather prophets who
live in the vicinity of the Eiger
glacier, on the route from Inter
laken to the Jungfrau, depend not
on the look of the sky but on the
grotto of the glacier for their
prophecies, according to an Inter-
laken, Switzerland, writer. If the
ice in it is a clear turquoise blue
or dark sapphire, they know that
the day will be fair, but if it is a
dull green, snow can be expected
in this region, and rain in the val
ley.
The grotto in which the weather
is foretold is about Sc feet long,
with an arched roof from seven to
eight feet high in the center. The
glacier at this point is a solid mass
of ice about $50 feet thick.
The whole region about it is one Of
scenic grandeur. Farther on is the
Eigerwand station, where a huge
room has been cut out Of the noun
tain, with three large windows from
which travellers can look out over
the lower mountain peaks. Miles
away the ranges of the Jura, the
Vosges and the Black Forest are
visible.

The history of American COLOMBIA
ton has it's beginning on the James
river, that navigable arm Of the
Atlantic ocean through which its
tides ebb and flow for 100 miles to
the falls at Richmond.
At Varina. so miles above James
town, John Rolfe settled with his
bride, Pocahontas, and first sue
cessfully cultivated tobacco in Vir'
ginia, says the Richmond Times
Dispatch. In both the Revolution
airy war and the Civil war the navi-
gability of James river was an i'm
portant factor. The channel as far
as Bermuda Hundred could accom-
modate practically all ships during
those early days, but from Bermuda
Hundred to Richmond it was only
seven to ten feet below tide.
In 1927 a federal survey was
made, and in 1852-54 the first inn.
provement of record was made at a
cost of $4,000, at which time the
water-borne traffic to Richmond
amounted to about 1000 tons a
year. During the war the river was
blocked by sunken vessels and mill
tary distractions, and these were
not altogether removed until 1870,
when by act of congress SIS, 600 was
appropriated for the opening Of the
Dutch Gap canal and deepening OF
the channel to Richmond.
In 1880 congress authorized
Strengthening and deepening the
channel to twenty-five feet from the
mouth to a point near Richmond.
