WILL DRILL PLACER GROUND
IN THE YENTNI DISTRICT
Alex Nelson, pioneer prospector
since the days of ’98, who last sum
mer spent the season in the Yentna
district, adjacent to the Cache Creek
and Fairview regions, is confident
his work this season will be of suf
ficient merit to warrant placing a
dredge on his ground on Camp Creek,
where the ground runs averages $1.50
a yard. The placer is of course gold
with a commercial value of $19 an
ounce. Visitors in Seward over the
week end stated the oldtimer is tak
ing in his outfit and supplies early
this spring and that the majority of
his work on his ground will be hand
drilling.
ENDS neon WORRIES.
PUTS GEESE TO WOM
ALBERMARLE, N. C., March 12.
(^P)—Rural labor shortage holds no
horror for Farmer W. S. Kinrey. He
puts his geese to work.
Last fall he harvested nine 500
pound bales of cotton from 10 acres
“hoed” by three geese and nine gosl
ings. Up until then his neighbors
laughed at him, but now they are
seeking his “system.”

PULLMAN ACROBAT OF 11
SCORNS LOIR BERTH
_i_i
WESTERVILLE, Ohio., March 12.
(#»)—The corpulent traveling sales
man unlacing a shoe in Lower Three
emits a gasp; the hand of the timid
lady across the way flies to smother
a scream, while the porter hurries
down the aisle with a ladder.
Dr. Howard H. Russelli 72 year old
founder and first general superin
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League,
and Pullman car gymnast extraord
inary, is entering his upper berth
for a quiet night’s rest.
In spite of his age and his task
of travelling more than 50,000 miles
a year at his work, Dr. Russell al
ways takes an upper berth and dis
dains the porter’s ladder as a means
of ascent. A firm grasp on the edge
of two berths, a convulsive kick or
two, and he is in his space—and
gray hair is no reason for bothering
the porter.
