COES TO OUTSIDE
ON SKIIS
The following article from the South
Bend (Wash.) Journal relative to con
ditions and methods in the north ie
interesting reading doubtless—-on the
outside. According to the best infor
mation obtainable the subject of the
sketch departed for the outside on the
tirst trip of the Victoria In June ol
the present year. But It listens tine:
"Mrs. Chas. Herrlnger was here
Sunday on her way from her hus
bund's mining camp 70 miles north
of Nome to San Francisco where her
father has Just died. Her husband
was superintendent of the dredgei
when the Carruthers dike was built
From here he went to Nome to run
a gold dredge there and then went tc
the Kobuk where he is hydraullcking
gold bearing gravels on his own hook
and it Is presumed that he is doing web
although Mrs. Herrlnger is not com
municative on that subject. She says
that wages there are $12.60 per day
and board and It costs $150 a ton to get
freight In there. She came out on
skis and the trip cost her $700. While
In there her husband had an encountei
with a polar bear In which his face
was badly clawed and his arm broken
but the bear Is dead."
IN THE LONG MARCH OF YEARS.

So vast is the universe, so boundless

with stars that a photograph of a smal.

into space with their telescopes and call
the masses of sturs "star clouds,” und
these swarms of stars are all in mo

The Wreck and ruin and chaos of the
great war of today have led many al
most to despair of civilization and ol
God. “Things will never again bo us

writer. "The world will never recover
from the baptism of blood and hate.’
writes another. And they write ol
"blood lust” of "seeing red," of nations
gone mad, of the torch of civilization
extinguished, and that all the gains oi
Christianity and civilization may be
submerged and lost.
But old Arcturus has twinkled down
on many a mighty struggle since the
flrBt shaggy man fashioned a weapon
I from the shank bone of a deers’ leg and
went forth to slay, and he will look on
many another, and the booming of all

ropean world does not even rise to
mingle with the singing of the stars.
And through it alt humanity, for all
its blindness, has found evidence of an
Increasing purpose, of a power not our
selves, that makes for righteousness.

The object of the apparatus la ti
cause large and rapidly spreadings tiret
by meuiid of specially designed incen
diary bombs in the path of the advanc
ing gas at a distance of several hundrei
yards from the British trenches. By
this means, since the heating of the all

will be driven up out of harm’s way.
Sir Hiram explained the invention at
follows:
"Chlorine gas at one atmosphere ot
pressure is two and a half times as
heavy as the air. In escaping Into the
air it very quickly becomes mixed with
a large quantity of air, so by the time
it reaches the trenches, as a rule, It
is extremely light compared with the
air, but quite strong enough to provr
fatal.

When it comes to handling a “real

the town of Anchorage, Alaska, was
merely public land at the southwestern
terminus of the new government rail

than 2.G00 and nearly all branches Of
business are represented. On'July 15
an Alaskan engineering commission and
Chairman Edes telegraphed Secretary
I-line the next day as follows: "Just re
turned from Anchorage. Sale is every
way n success and every one satisfied
About 450 lots sold for $133,000." Nearly
$300 a lot was thus realized. Most of
the lots were 60x140 feet and streets
parkings and play-grounds were pro
vided. Watch Alaska grow.”—Engi
