EXPOSITION
DIRECTORS
Governor Hoggatt lias named the fol
lowing directors for the Alaska-Yukon
Paeific Exposition. In addition to the
list here given, the exchange from which
it ia taken credits t’. Berry toj Hampart
also, which is probably an error. It is
perhaps Clarence Berry, of Fairbanks,
who is meant:
Treadwell—II. P. Stow.
Douglas—P. II. Fox.
Juneau—B. M. Behrends and K. C.
Bussell.
Ketchikan—J. B. IJeekman and .1. \V.
Steadman.
Skagway—II. It. Dunn.
Sitka—W. P. Mills.
Valdez—S. Blum and G. C. llazlett.
Seward—II. II. Hildreth.
Circle—F. II. Grace.
Kampart—J. W. Duncan.
Fairbanks—E. M. Carr and V. Rich
ardson.
Nome—(not'll Whitehead, Jutet t.tn
derberg and Dudley Dean.
Teller—W. T. Lopp.
Oasadepaga—Thomas It. Shepard.
Candle—Charles E. Herrom.
Council—E. R. Dunn.
Haines—It. A. Leonard.
St. Michael—A. L. Zipf.
Mr. Duncan, the Rampart member, :
was virtually chosen while the governor
was here last summer. The board will
effect an organization, probably by mail,
and its duty will be to promote Alaska's
interests in all things connected with
the great fair.
DR. HUDGIN S RETURN
FROM RAY RIVER
After an absence since Oct. 10 Dr. .1.
II Iludgin returned from Ray River
Hot Springs last Monday. He appears
uncommonly skookuni after bis course
of baths and garden truck.
l)r. Iludgin says the natural incubator
worked all right and that chickens
hatched in a box set in the warm ground
after commencement of cold weather are
thriving amazingly. The chicken house
gets on the warm, dry gravi 1 bar and
requires no artificial heat. The chicks
take their food by candlelight as readily
as at noonday.
It is very agreeable to know jsisitivelv
that stables for horses and other domes
tic animals can be kept at a comfortable
temperature in winter from the natural
warmth of the ground.
The doctor promises to stock the place
principally with bogs and fowls.
One misfortune happened at the
springs recently. When Dr. Iludgin
arrived at the springs his two beautiful
|s-t foxes were enjoying unrestrained
liberty. Fearing some mishap might
Isdall tie'III, he put them in a stoekaile,
and one of liiem forced its head through
a craek near the r**d, *Jipt»sl down t<>
where the crack was very narrow, and
died of strangulation.
K If. Rowel, who went to the springs
with Dr. Iludgin, will remain there with
I lenient Anderr.n and prospect.

F. C. MANLEY, PROPRIETOR
HORSE WINTERED
IN THE MOUNTAINS
Indians Saw Nag Abandoned by the
Witherspoon Party.
Late this summer Indians claim to
have seen a horse running loose in the
mountains at the iiead of Beaver river.
It is believed to he one of the seven ani
mals abandoned hy 1>. C. Witherspoon
and party, of the United States Geologi
cal Survey, in September,‘1005.
The survey party was overtaken by a
heavy snowstorm and abandoned their
outfit. Morris I'arrell and Fred Cassidy
went to the locality in January, hoping
to bring the horses out, but nothing
could be seen of them. It was con
cluded that they were all dead.
Whether the horse seen by the In
dians was one of the survey party’s or j
not, it must have wintered in the moun- j
tains, which, if true, is a remarkable'
circumstance for several reasons.
Last winter was noted both for ex
treme cold and great depth of snow.
The place where the horses were left
was bleak and windswept, and Messrs.
Farrell and Cassidy believed that any
living creature would soon perish there.
Perhaps the the rugged nature of the
ground and the high winds caused the
snow to diift away in places so that the
h 'rse could get grass. Any way, he was
alive when the Indians saw him.

Uncle Sam here in as much a citizen of
the United States as any one when it
comes to staking mining ground.
On the particular stream upon which
the discovery was made very reasonable
offers to buy and bond were disdainfully
refused. They have been instructed by
the missionary not to make any cove
nants whatsoever nor agree to sell for
any sum any of the proven claims to
white men.
It is of course reasonable to presume
that the shepherd must care for his
flock, and, no doubt, when shearing
time conies, he will be very tender in
stowing away whatever may he loose
for the edification of his great calling.
