tieo. F. Kilroy received a letter
from Joq Marttndalo ou the last
mall. The letter was dated Jan
uary 10, aud was written at Tan
ana.
Alartludale was unfortunate enough
to be traveling during the cold
spell, and some of his experiences
were sufficiently strenuous to test
the staying power <>f the hardiest
mushers.
December 28 he aud Jim Haloy
P lied out from Dlskaket In 48
I be'.ww weather. They made the
40 miles to Lake Shore roadhouse
that day only to find the cabin
occupied by an Indian and squaw.
1- was bitterly cold, the cabin be
ing frozen, and they had much diffi
culty in getting supper cooked and
sufficiently warmed up themselves
to sleep.
For days in succesion the temper
ature ranged near 48 below,
and at Lowden it bevame too much
to staud, so he had to stay over
night at the Indian road-house there.
The native surprised him with an
excellent feed; he got a good rest,
| and started off for Lewis' road
house next morning. January 3
he ft Lewis' for Kuby. Although
it was only 32 below there was a
strong wind, and it was the hard
est day on the trip. There being
no trail he had to take the lead all j
the way; the cold was fierce ? thej
dogs being almost unable to face it. j
lie froze his face and arrvled at i
Ruby feeling very sick ? his lungs I
sore, and with a bad cough. Secur
ing hot liquid refreshments at Char
ley Hoxlb's, Mr. Martlndnle felt
much better, but decided to stay
over at Ruby for two days and
reH up. He made the Journey from
Ruby to Tuiana (120 miles) in four
days .
Finding i:o salo for his dog'.eam
at Tanana, .Mr. Martindale was con
sidering the advisability of going

Xj,\\ ZEALAND TAOKLES
AUTO HORN PROBLEM
The following editorial is ro
prlnted from a recent issue of the
New Zealand Motor and Cycle Jour
nal
The subject of .the regulation
of warning signals has been consid
er* d by various legislative bodies
In England, America and on the con
tinent, whilst In New Zealand the
matter has frequently been discuss
ed, and experience has left no room
for experiment. The adequate warn
ing signal must have a harsh, ab
rupt note that gives the impression
of lmmlneuv danger. A warning
signal is not a play toy. It has a
stilous mission, and we believe it
unwise to use as a warning signal
any device which lacks the harsh
ness, the abrupt note that is imme
diately recognized as a warning of
danger.
Emergencies sometimes arise, es
pecially In cities, through no fault
of "the driver of the motor car,
which, to avoid serious injury, call
for immediate action, not only by
the motorist but by the person or
persous in danger. The unnneces
sary use illustrated by the fable of
the boy who cried "wolf! wolf!"
when no wolf was near, and when
the wolf finally did come and he
< ailed for help, 110 one responded,
ami the wolf devoured him In
several of the world s leading cities
it Is now dtemed unlawful for any
motorist to make or cause to be
uade any loud or unnecessary noise
with bell, horn or any other signal
device with which his car is equip
ped. or to use the same except as a
warning of danger. It is not so
much the character of the warning
s'ghal as Its unnecessary use that
is objectionable. That the use of
di adequate warning signal upon
.motor cars is a necessity is nluiost
universally recognized, and. Indeed,
required by law In every city of Im
portance. That this signal should
be capable of producing a sufficient
volunio of sound to be heard under
all circumstances is equally neces
sary, and that the bulb horn Is both
undependaMe and so feeble in sound
that the rattle of surrounding traf
fic frequeutly makes ft Impossible to
be henrd, is a mntter of common
knowledge.
Who Wou'd V Benn 'Erl'
Some hundred years ??:<> a siuall boy,
one of four brothers, heard a visitor
say to his mother, "What a pity one of
your boys had not been n girl." Drop
ping his game, so the story runs In
Woman's Work In America, he called
out: "Well, I'd like to know who'd 'a'

OCEAN SPECTERS.
Phantom Craft That Are Said to
Haunt the High Seas.
A CURIOUS ENGLISH RECORD.
The Log of the Warship Baochante
Undar Data of July 11, 1831, Baara
the Entry, "Flying Dutchman Croaa
ed Our Bowa" ? The Qoblin Ship.
There are numerous legends and sto
ries of ghostly vessels that roam the
brln.v deep, and many hard headed
mariners, free from the common su
perstition of the ordinary gnllorman,
stoutly maintain thut they have at
least once in their maritime career en
countered what was undoubtedly a
phantom ship.
Best known of those mysterious
croft that haunt the high se.ta Is. of
course, the famous Plying Dutchman,
or phantom ship of Vanderdecken.
How the story originated Is doubtful,
but it has been ascertained that there
was a seaman of repute who many
years ago sailed from Holland to tho
east via the Cape of tiood Ilope, but
was never agalu heard of.
Some authorities say that, meeting
with contrary winds 'T the cape, he
swore a terrible oath, in consequence
of which the divine wrath decreed
that he should lie occupied till the
crack of doom in endeavoring to
weather the headland. Others state
that this punishment was meted out
to him In retribution for a terrible
murder be committed before commenc
ing his fatel'ul voyage.
Whatever the cause of this auclent
jjciltleiuau's monotonous wandering
ma; I'?. It Is probably In connection
with hltii that the Inost nnthwnt:
cold blooded record of any phantom ex
ists either afloat or ashore, for It Is
stated that In the log of II. M. S. Bac
chante while on a voyage round the
world with the little princes lu 1881
there appears on July II the entry,
"Flying Dutchman crossed our bows."
The log book of one of the then largest
of her majesty's warships Is certainly
I he very last place to expect to flud
that which Is generally associated wltb
the hysterical of either sex.
During January. KM7. a vessel left
New Haven, Conn., on her maiden voy
age, but was never again heard of. In
the following June, Just before the
hour of sunset and after a severe
thunderstorm, the missing ship was
seen sailing up the river. The Inhabit
ants, taking their evening stroll, were
overjoyed at jer return, but the most
observant of them noticed that there
was something uncanny about her, es
pedally In that she ap|ieared to be
sailing tip against the wind
Then, to the consternation of all, she
gradually faded away before their eyes
and eutlreley dlsap|>eured. We may be
assured that there were not wanting
those who maintained that the vessel
In spirit had paid a last visit to her
port before resting for good on the
ocean l>ed
In the "Chronicles of the St Law
rence." by I.e Maine. It Is recorded that
on a certain day In the year a phantom
ship Is seen off Cap d'Espolr. In Gospe
bay. Lights are seen aboard her. and
her decks are crowded w'th men. By
the foot of the bowsprit a man Is con
splcuously standing and facing toward
the shore, with a lady clinging to his
arm. Gradually the lights go out and
the vessel ginks. It Is Bald to be the
ghost of the flagship of a fleet which
was sent out to reduce the French
forts, the vessel being tost wltb all
bands.
To come to British waters, there are
numerous Instances related In local
history of the visitations of ghostly
vessels, the west of England, as might
be expected, being most prolific In
these records, says a writer In the Lon
don Globe Indeed. Cornwall boasts of
a goblin ship probably unique the
world over, as she not only sails the
water, but proceeds most unconcerned
a good distance Inland.
This Is the specter ship of I'orthcur
no, and lu Robert Hunt's book on "Ro
mances of the West of England" are re
lated the experiences of a local Inhab
itant who witnessed one of her esca
pades She Is described as a black
square rigged single masted vessel,
sometimes towing a small boat No
crew are ever seen: presumably they
are d n below. The persona! narra
tive goes ou to say:
"On came the craft It passed stead
lly through the breakers, gilded up
over the sands, steadily pursued Its
course on the dry land as If It bad been
water. On It went to Bodelan, where
St Leven formerly dwelt It then
steered Its course to Chygwlden and
'here vanished like smoke."

You \V1U Make No Mistake If You
Follow This Advice.
Never neglect your kidneys.
If you have pain In the bank,
urinary disorders, dizziness end
nervousness, it's time to act and
no time to experiment These are
frequently symptoms of kidney
trouble, and a remedy which u
recommended for the kidneys should
be taken in time.
Doan's Kidney Pills are a good
remedy to use. It has acted effect
ively in many cases in this vicinity.
Can Alaskan residents demand
further proof tUan the following tes
timonial ?
E. O. Beaumont, 635 G 3 1.,
Eureka, Cal., says: "For a long
time I had a bad case of kidney and
bladder trouble. The kidney secret
ions were too frequent in passage
and I suffered a great deal from
backache that waa especially severe
at night. I applied plasters to my
back and used other remedies, but
xl^iout receiving any noticeable
benefit. Happening to see an ar
ticle in the papers about Doir.-?
Kidney PU's, I procured the rem
edy. I began using It and in a
short time my kidneys were restor
ed to a normal condition. I have
used five boxes of Doan's Kidney
Pills and can say that I urn cured.
As I did not take any other remedy
at the same time, I give the full
credit for my cure to Doan's Kidney
Pills."
