Canadian politics The bride, Mrs. George Black in Juneau only a week ago heading back tc the Klondike She has been member of the Do- mnion Parliament since 1885.
 The big strike the Tanana River at Fair banks in 1904 didn't draw Scearce from Dawson where he had become successful businessman He did stake a party of six men to some cargo which they planned to freight down the Yukon to Circle City and overland to the new goldfield. They left Dawson too late and overturned in the grind ing ice of the river The following spring" Scearce writes "a few scattered corpses were found along the banks of the Yukon. None could be identified As in previous seasons. the bleaching bones of human skeletons were but instances of the end of the trail for some who had left distant homes to challenge with puny strength the might of the Yukon"
 Much in Northern Lights to Fields of Gold" is strained and overdone in the passages in which the author tries to attach supernatural significance to the Aurora But for pure adventure and action, the story which Scearce tells is one which you will enjoy reading

A KLONDIKE STORY

The stirring days of the rush to the Klondike and to Nome live again in the pages of a new book Northern Lights to Fields of Gold" by Stanley Scearce whom many odtimer will remember as one of the Argonauts at Dawson.
 All too little remembered is that golden chapter of the Norths history of only 40 years ago Scearce remembers it wildly and from his life of retire ment in the States sends us a story which is well worth reading.
 It is a story which many another who came north in 1898 might have told; how he freghted by hand sled over White Pass; the birds darken the sky over Kluane Lake, despaired in the first long, dark winter at Dawson; made and lost several fortunes and finally went on to the new goldfields at Nome.
 But there are parts of Scearce's story which few others experienced how he broke the Faro bank at Dawson how he made the first winter trip by dog team from Dawson to Nome; how he cornered the Norths potato market for prosperous winter and how he steadily built Kondike fortune, not by gold but by apples, cabbages and carrots
 Stanley Scearce, he tells the story missed a fabulous cleanup on Topkok Bay by not turning ms sled around at prospector's wave of greeting. The prospector and his partner, who followed Scearce into Nome few weeks later banned 5000 ounces of gold from the beach in ten days work. They took thousand ounces day for the first three days; then the crowds came, and "the length of our shovel handle was the size of the claim we could hold"
 But if he missed gold narrowly, the author came just as close to death and spared. Carry ing thousand ounces of gold dust from Dawson to Skagway he escaped ambush which had been laid for him because another sled had passed that way the day before and been mistaken for his, One of the two desperadoes who had lain in wait for Scearce was later hanged at Dawson for murder ing three in the party which he mistook for Scearce's Again, the authors life spared when, finally coming out of the North with his fortune, he took the little steamer Senator from Skagway in stead of the luxurious Princess Sophia which left on the same day The Sophia struck Vanderbilt Reef and every soul aboard lost.
 Scearce met many of the North's outstanding characters. He saw Soapy Smith at work in Skag- way. He told Robert w. Service, a young English man at Dawson some of the stories which later went into his famous ballads of the Yukon. His best friend at Dawson the man who brought a bride from Outside at the time as Scearce ano introduced the innovation of married life and the social order that was to challenge the old GUS tom of Klondike companionships," was George Black who became the distinguished Conservative leader 1T

END OF THE LONG, LONG TRAIL

Huey Longs brother Earl, has lost political control of Louisiana The many year reign of the Long machine a reign prolonged by political ruth lessness and shortened by unexampled graft ends with the nomination of Sam H. Jones in yesterdays run-off Democratic primary. Jones, a reform candi- date behind whom all anti-Long forces united is as good as elected Governor Other State officials and the majority of the Legislature are anti-Long.
 Obviously Earl lacked the stuff his brother had His imagination was more circumscribed. For ex- ample he promised to make every farmer, laborer and small businessman colonel if he won the cleo tion Huey would have laughed at such modest promise. In the old days in Louisiana every man was to be king.

Thirty oil stampeders who left 1 Seward on the Admiral Watson ar rived at Kodiak and found only one available gas boat for charter. The others were taken by parties who sailed for various coast sec- tions where oil prospects had been reported as soon as the bill passed Congress. Several representatives of big eastern companies were on the ground and were expected to file as soon as the President signed the bill which provided for a maximum acreage by applicants on oil lands of 3.200 acres. Cache Creek in the Cook Inlet country, was to be the scene of active mining operations during the summer, according to c. c. Mur- ray, manager and chief owner of the Cache Creek Mining Company who was in Juneau.
 The gas boat Caesar, after hay ing been blocked in by ice in Ten akee Inlet for several weeks, ar rived in port.

The Threat" to India
(NeW York Times)

Not so long ago the Italian press reported that Russia was massing 100000 troops along the borders of Iran and Afghanistan for thrust at India. Ru- mors emanating from somewhere along the BerIn- Rome Axis suggested that the Northwest Frontier of India was seething with unrest and that there had been serious outbreak in Wazirstan The rlimors made exciting reading and the map-makers got busy with impressive black arrows showing where the Russian colossus might strike at the heart ot Brtain's overseas empire.
 Now we have a sequel Four Italian men, two German women and Netherand woman have been arrested in Bombay charges of communicating with persons in Germany and neutral European countries" At the same time the British have ad- renewed kidnapping and footing by tribesmen in Wazirstan But trouble is always endemic in the territory of the Wazir and Afridi tribes, and there is nothing unusual in the recent kidnapping of one Indian medical officer the ambush of an ammuni- tion truck and a tribal raid a frontier village
 Elsewhere along the frontier conditions were re- ported as exceptionally quiet short time ago Certainly there is trace of the threat to India which the Italian press discovered ahead of the rest of the world. The Afghan Government accord ing to London has detected no signs of unusual military concentrations along the Afghan Russian border Indeed the rumor of an impending leaders along the Afghan Indian frontier; and Bad shah Gull the most anti-British of them all, is reported to have urged all good Moslems in hii territory to resist any Russian aggression to the limit.

This should be a fortunate day in trade and commerce. Those who exercise power delegated to then may suffer under this sway iron dictation on the part of superiors It is a lucky day for signing lega papers. Activity and expansion 1T many industries are indicated.
 Heart and Home: Women are well-guided today when the heart leads them In the household, prac- tical matters should engage atten- ton, especially the use of money as food prices are likely to soar Cooking should be conducted sci entifically. Glasses in home eco- monies will be popular. This is an suspicious date for love affairs. Letters may bring urgent proposals of marriage. The evening is most propitious for callers.
 Business Affairs: Efficiency should mark all business enterprises, large and small, for while the year is to be remarkably prosperous for Americans, there are sinister por- tents for the future In this period of change there will be added de- mandS on the prosperous to aid the under-p privileged of this coun- try and war victims of other lands. Thrift should be the watchword in the realm of finance.
 National Issues: AS the spring advances there may be a general realization that world peace may be far off, and that supreme re- sponsibilities will be given to the head of the United States govern ment, responsibilities more grave than those previously borne. For this reason both national conven- tions may be long drawn out and surprising in their results. The ctars presage the overturning of precedent and the establishment of amazing policies in party proceed ure.
 International Affairs: Possibility of peace in Europe next autumn is seen in the stars, but it is only a vague promise which, if not fulfilled, presages a long period of conflict In May of this year the stars seem to smile on peace eff forts, but there is an omen of doubt about the result It is inn portant for the people of the Unit ed States to engage in personal preparedness for inevitable effects of another world war
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of~fair- ] ly good fortune. It is well to watch i health conditions in the family.
