Men Going North
Never Since ’.he days of 189S has
there been such travel to South
eastern Alaska. Since February 1,
9,000 persons have left this port for
Southeastern Alaska jtoints. and the
tide of travel Northward has resulted
in unprecedented loads on all steamers
leaving here. Two lines alone have
carried s,passengers North. The
Portland and other vessels have car
ried several hundred in addition to
these.—P.-I.
Catterpilinrs Stop ( rain
Vancouver. B’ (A,—Millions of army
catterpillars swarming, across the
right-of-way of tlie Canadian Pacific
near Mission forced the train to come
to a halt. It was nearly a half hour
before the squirming masses could be
cleared from tlie rails so as to allow
the train to continue on its journey.
The Funeral Came Too Late
Billy Martin, aged four, came to his
mother and in great ecstasy exclaim
ed: mothei! Louise and Carberry
found such a nice dead cat. and they
are going to have a funeral, and can
i go?” Permission was given, and
w hen Billy returned lie was question
ed as to tlie outcome of the funeral.
“They did not have it at ail.”
“And why not?"
“Mother,” was the answer, “the cat
was too dead.”—Success Magazine.
HENEY AND ABE
SHOW FIGHT
i At Ruef Hearing the Lie Is Passed
and Officers Interfere to
Prevent Blows.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
San Francisco, June 25—A lively
scene occurred in the courtroom here
yesterday when Abe Kuef was up for
preliminary examination on the charge
of offering a bribe to Supervisor
Furey. The lie was passed between
District Attorney Ueney and Ruef.
The two men became so angry that
they would have come to blows had not
the courtroom officers interfered to
prevent the fistic encounter.

No Booze in Homes
Eugene, Ore.—Oregonians living in
this city must deprive themselves of
the privilege of keeping intoxicants
in their homes or their places of busi
ness under penalty of severe punish
! ment. The ordinance prohibiting so
doing has by Circuit Judge Harris
been held valid and the city authori
ties will enforce it to the letter from
this on.
It was very shortly after the adop
tion of local option measures that the
city council of Eugene passed an ordi
nance making it a misdemeanor for a
person to keep intoxicants even in
his or her home. An arrest soon fol
lowed the creation of the ordinance
and the lower court upheld the validi
ty of the council’s action. An appeal
: was taken with the result stated.
Value of Food Fishes
The value of food fishes taken from
Alaska waters since 1868 and exported
is near $100,000,000. This does not in
clude bi-products, such as guano and
oil, but is the actual value of fish taken
in Alaska waters and prepared for
market by canning, drying or salting,
and then exported to various parts of
the world. Most of these values have
been secured within the last ten years.
For several years past the average
value of the salmon product of Alaska
exceeded $8,000,000 annually.—Alaska
Yukon Magazine.
Ana River Springs, Oregon
The northern end of the valley of
Summer Lake, in southern Oregon,
contains a group of three or four large
springs which unite to form Ana
River, the principal feeder of the lake
| from the south. These springs occur
in a semi-arid region, where their
j volume—about 100,000 gallons a
minute—and their constant flow
through wet and dry seasons make
them objects of unusual interest, and
their source has always been a puzzle
to local investigators.—Geological Sur
; vey.
No More Japs for Hawaii
Honolulu—The Japanese Consul
General has been advised by the Japa
nese Imperial government that here
after no emigrants will be allowed to
leave Japan for Hawaii except such as '
have formerly resided here, their
wives and children, and the wives and
children of Japanese now residing
here. This will effectually prevent
many more coming to the Territory,
and as a result there is serious con
cern among the sugar planters over
tlu future labor supply for the planta
tions. With Oriental labor entirely
j cut off and the contract labor law pre
venting European laborers being re
cruited or assisted in making the long
journey, they will be forced to look to
the mainland of tlie United States for
their supply, and this promises to be
difficult.
How Snakes Hear
Snakes have no external ears, but
inside the head the ear bones are very
crude.
Snakes “hear,” however, by feeling
vibration of sound on their delicate
scaly covering and searching for sound
vibrations by protruding the wonder
fully sensitive tongue, which is tilled
with thousands of microscopic nerves.
Their sight is very keen in distin
guishing moving objects.—St.Nicholas.
Will Do Dentist Work
Dr. C. T. Daggett, dentist, will re
turn to Seward for a short time on the
first boat after July 1st, and will be es
tablished in his otlice over the drug
store. *

Chilly For the New Member
“I came to Congress representing a
country which is new; where there are
no old roads, no old towns, no old
families. Out there we follow no meth
od today merely because some one fol
lowed it yesterday. We cut across the
open prairie, each man taking his own
course with the joy of initiative made
up half of independence and half of
impeachment of the judgment of the
man in t he wagon ahead of him. We
do not keep in the rut. In our activity
to keep out of it, possibly we go to the
other extreme, for the new merchant
in my town is likely to draw all the
trade for a while, the now music teach
er to get all the pupils, and the new
lawyer to be rated truly marvelous be
fore he has tried a single case. In my
country we accept a stranger with en
thusiastic warmth upon the assumption
that he is an acquisition to the commu
nity. The hand we extend to him at
first greeting is one of full fellowship.
“The first thing I noticed in Wash
ington was that this custom was not
universal, and that it did not obtain in
the capital. Every hand that was ex
tended to me was one expressing doubt,
suspicion and an*unspokon but un
mistakable demand that if I amounted
to anything I would have to prove it.
In my country we accept a man and
prove him afterwards. In Washington
a man proves himself and is accepted
afterwards. Many a new congressman
has left the presence of Secretary Loeb
in the belief that with all his Arctic
experiences there are degrees of cold
which Perry has never known.”—Con
gressman Quinn in Success Magazine.
Stricken With Plague
Caracas, Venezuela—The people of
this city, regardless of social status,
are in a panic because of the fearful
ravages of bubonic plague. The presi
dent of the republic has appealed to
neighboring republies*for funds to fi
nance a campaign against the disease
which now threatens to make Caracas
a city of desolation.
The plague has invaded the fashion
able residence section of the city and
persons have been stricken while seat
ed in the cafes. Kverybody shuns his
neighbor for fear the latter maybe
the next to be alllicted and all attempt
at business and social relationship has
been abandoned. There have been as
high as 100 cases a day in Laguaire
and all elTorts to stay the ravages of
the disease have been futile.
he had Broken Something
Mrs. Wilson had a young Japanese
servant who had a habit of trying to
conceal from his mistress any breakage
of dishes of which he chanced to be
guilty. The good lady explained that
it was wicked to deceive, and directed
the Japanese to tell her whenever he
broke anything. The boy promised to
do as she advised. One day, while
Mrs. Wilson was entertaining some
friends in the parlor, the Japanese
suddenly appeared in the doorway. His
teeth were bared in a childlike smile
and his eyes sparkled with the light of
conscious virtue:
“Messa Wilson, you ter-ra me, when
break somesing to ter-ra you. 1 break
my pants.—Success Magazine.
Fabulously Rich
In a letter just received by the John
T. Reed from Mrs. Ramps Petersen it
is said that Ophir creek is fabulously
rich in places. The new town is boom
ing and Mrs. Petersen believes success
has already come to the district. The
richest pay is on Nos. 8, 10 and 12
above. No. 4 above is also good.
Ramps has a lease on No. ‘2 below, and
No. 3 below was sold for $75,000, al
though not one hole has been sunk on
it. No. 2 below is the one purchased
by Vinal.—Nome Nugget.
