Fairbanks has just closed her
Thin! Annual Tanana Valley Pair,
and it has proven an increased suc
cess over t hose held the two previous
renrs The committee had the co-op
??ration of the entire district. includ
ing not only thf merchants and thf
gardeners, but the miners as well,
who exhibited their gsartt speci- j
mens
The newspapers up there claim
that the e\kibits for the past three
years have been the means of stimu
lating agriculture and cardestng In
the community with the result that
hundreds of dollars are annually
kept in the eity, instead of being sent
below or spent in transportation
The result has been that the home
merchant benefitted because of th?
agriculturists, though Individually ?m
a small working sea )e, yet collective
ly *hev rstse large quantities of pro
duce. the receipts for which put ma
ny dolUn Into the irener?l circula
tion which otherwise would go out
' of the country
What has been done and ia being
?lone in Fairbanks can and ahould
and will be done in Skagway. Among
the roasoas for giving an agrtc*!
turn! fair, we take the following
from the Fairbanks Times
"That a fair such as has been
arranged la well worth the ?f
; fort. is evidenced by the re
sults obtained In the |<ut both
at home and abroad Not only
does a concrete display of the min
eral. agricultural and other resource
of the valley act as a stimulant to
those of ?* who occasionally lose
sight of the riches scattered
everywhere about ua, but it also Is
invaluable as an advertising medium
wRen placed within reach of unac
quainted Outsiders who are becoming
more and more eager to learn of
the i<omibilitin of the Great North- j
land.
'The fair this year promises even
greater success than either of Its pre
decessors A favorable season and j
an added yMr't experience in deal
ing with Northern conditions of:
crow-th have combined to make pos
sible a more than usually
instructive display of grains and veg j
etables; and what is equally impor
tant to success, the members of the
committee are carrying on the work
with an enthusiasm which is rapidly)
spreading throughout the camp "

MAGIC FIRE WRITING.
Hew to Perform ?n Amm! hq and Mys
tifying Tneh.
This recipe for "toacV Ore wtftlng*"
Is gireo by the Pathfinder: Dissolve
Bait peter In water until the water will
take Bp no more. Thru take the
?"wrong" end of a penholder and, dip
ping ft la the solution. draw in thick
strokes some name of de?ign on a
piece of light paper, taking care not
to break the continuity of the writing
anywhere? that Is. all words must t>e I
joined. When dry the writing will
he Invisible. Fold over or roll np half
an Inch of each end of such a paper
after It baa been allowed to ret dry
and stand It on something that will J
not born. Ucht a tnatcb. then blow
It oat and apply the plowing Up to
some spot touched by the design (yon
can make an Ink mark before apply
h?g the saltpeter to serve as a guldet.
and a tiny glowworm of fire will
travel all along the lines traced and I
end by leaving the device burned ont I
of the paper, no other pnrt of It being
destroyed.
By the nse of a little Ingenuity all
?orts of amusing de*1gna for this pur
pose can be got up For example, yon J
can draw In pencil or Ink on the paper
a picture of one boy throwing a base
ball to another and also tmce an In
risible curved line In the aaltpeter i
from the hand of the thrower to that !
of the catcher. Then when yon touch j
ft re to the thrower's hand the tire will I
follow the saltpeter line right to the
other's hand.
Those who are the thing and are not
la the secret will be mnch mystified
as to why the Are follows this line and
does not born the rest of the paper.
Saltpeter enters Into gunpowder, and
wherever It has touched the paper It
makes It burn.
