KOYUKUKERS DO NOT LIKE

Glad to put their feet on the soil of
the Interior once more, Finest I'ellison
and Richard Helborg arrived in Fair
banks recently, after mushing in from
the const with a dog team The men
left for the States last summer, after
tho\ had finished their season's opera
tions. and spent the greater part of the
winter In Seattle anil other Western
cities.
When asked as to conditions on the
Outside, Mr. Helborg said that condi
tions were excellent for the people in
the States, tint it was no pho-g t r a
tried ami true sourdough. Shurth al'tei
his arrival in the States Mr. Helltop'
found that he was spotted as a "good
Alaskan, and from that time until li
left for the North again he had a stead
stream of pensioners looking for hand
outs.
Tlte men are resting up themselves
and are allowing their dogs to rest
for a few days before pushing on to
their Northern home Karly in the
spring the men will resume operations1
on Smith era k. a tributary of Noland

"CORPSE"SERENELY PUFFS
BLACK CIGAR IN HEARSE
.lEl'FERSON’, t> Panic was caused
along the road between Jefferson and
Chapel hv the spectacle of what ap
parently was a corpse sitting upright
in the middle of a hearse and serenel\
puffing a black cigar. The "remains’"
which hnd indulged in this unseemly
performance were those of will Hodge
Hodge had attended the funeral of Ills
aunt and on the long trip home after
the interment llodge started riding be
side the driver of the hearse.
The intense cold soon chilled him to
the hone and he obtained permission
from the driver to get inside (lie glass
sided ease. Here he soon got warm,
and, to add to the comfort of his jotir
noy, lie lighted a cigar. Rural folks
along the way were terrified
NEED BREAD MORE THAN
MEAT. SAYS DR. WILEY
WASHINGTON—Pr. Harvey W 1
Wiley, the pure food expert, today is-;
sued a warning lo the public against
•he curtailment of bread-anting should;
the price tie advanced because of the
rise in the cost of wheat. He said
‘There Is a popular fallacy in favor
of meat. Meat eontains 110 per cent
water and costs 2f> cents a pound.
Rread Is only 40 per rent water and
costs five cents a pound. There’s more
energy in a pound of bread than in a
pound of meat Hard workers need
bread more than meat. If the post of
flour makes bread rise, cut down on
the meat. Rread is the cheapest food
known.”
THREATS FOR CONCERN
MAKING WAR RIFLES
I’TICA. X. V —The Remington Arms
Company of Ilion. which recently closed
an order with one of the warring pow
ers for an enormous supply of high
powered rifles, which order warranted
the building of a $fi00,00fl addition to
its Ilion plant, lias recently received
a ; umber of threatening letters and as
a result has taken precautions lo safe
guard its extensive plant
The company has adopted the pafe
system and no man will obtain en
trance to his labors hereafter unless
he has the official card to show his
right.
NOT GOING THAT WAY.
During the bouih African w.u an
•u der was issued lu t lie men ot Hie
Highland regiments that they must
cover up their tartan kilts, as they
made loo good targets for tlie enemy.
The order proved very unpopular and
caused a great deal of dissatisfaction
among the soldiers concerned. VViien
Sir George White heard this he thought
of a way out of the difficulty.
"Let them cover up only the from
of their kills, lie said. The enemy
will never see the other side."
