i where there is a chance of ade
quate profit. More than any other
nation the English have the tem
perment for mining investment.
Blue Sky laws are unknown over
there.

THE DAILY LESSON
Washing Stocks is the method
employed when one broker arrang
es with another to buy a certain
stock when he offers it on the Ex
change. The bargain is Ficticious
and the effect when not detected is
to keep the stock quoted. If the
plotters buy and sell the stock to a
high figure, the false quotations af
fords the basis for bona fide sales.

TRAVELERS DECLARE IT MOST
WONDERFUL TOUR IN ALL
THE WORLD
A wonderful “boost” for Alaska is
found in a column and a half story
from Lynn, Mass., “Daily Evening
Item”, being an aecount of a trip
thru the Territory by Mr. and Mrs.
Carl L. Hoffman of Lynnfield and
sent by them to F. J. Hayes of Cor
dova, “Alaska’s Goodwill Ambassa
dor”. Mr. Hayes in turn sent the
clipping to the Gateway, but as the
story is too long to run in full, only
the opening paragraphs are used:
“Wonders of Alaska were disclos
ed to Mr. and Mrs. Carl L. Hoffman
of Salem Street, Lynnfield for the
past several weeks tour by train,
auto and river steamboat as well as
ocean liner covering a distance of
between 11,000 and 12,000 miles.
They returned this week after a
tour in the White Mountains which
terminated the wonderful trip,"
says the Lynn item. “Mr. Hoffman
is a wealthy leather manufacturer
of Lynnfield.
“Glaciers, icebergs, native fishing
along the Yukon and other Alaska
streams; visits to gold and copper
mines and side trips into the great
a?id almost unknown regions of the
Territory which is so much larger
than all of the British Isles and the
Mew England States combined. Its
rastness is appalling according to
:he Hoffmans. It is almost a lim
itless area and a person willing to
forego a few of the pleasures and
conveniences of present day mod
ern living, can enjoy a trip, the like
)f which is without compare in the
vhole world.”

OKS KILLED SELF
Whether, as often claimed ani
mals commit suicide, Capt. Baker I
of the Sierra, one of Lomen Broth- !
ei-s Reindeer Co., vessels, does not
care to set himself up as an author
ity, but he does know that a rein
der will deliberately kill itself. One
leindeer in particular did not want
to go aboard. It gave trouble from
the first. It fought all the way to
the boat. When the vessel finally
pulled out to sea, leaving the shore
line behind, it seemed to go loco
and began butting its head against
ihe bulwark. The crew aboard did
everything possible to try to keep it
from injuring itself. It refused to i
eat or drink, and finally succeeded !
in breaking its neck.
“I don’t konw what possessed it,”
said Capt. Baker, to the Empire, !
‘but I do know that it was the most
determined animal I ever heard tell
e.f to dstroy itself.”
It is estimated the pack of salt
herring in the vicinity of Dutch
Harbor exceeded 40,000 barrels.
