Interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
formation relative to local mining development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.*
GOOD WILL
The season is auspicious to
charity and good will. Our
thoughts and affections are, so
to say, pledged for a time to a
common interest, in preparat
ion for a festival whose sacred
meaning and joyful observance
are wide enough to include all
mankind. We find once again,
and perhaps with some sur
prise, that we are brothers and
sisters under the skin and are
willing and eager to forget for
a season the small antagonisms
and jealousies that divide us
through the year.
The great name of charity
deserves to be freed of its faint
disfavor of sentimentality or
careless and casual generosity.
True charity is good will to
ward the good in others, and it
serves best in the partnership
of intelligent knowledge. We
cannot love the things we do
not know, and to understand
our neighbor in his hopes and
purposes is first essential to
helping him in his need.
The old proverb insisted that
charity begins at home, but
this is no sign that it should
stop there. Wider knowledge
has made the whole world kin
and teaches us daily that our
common humanity knows no
boundaries. The season of
good will established twenty
centuries ago in an humble vil
lage in Palestine, encompasses
now the world and its nations
and does more for the peace
and unity of mankind than any
institution of our own fashion
ing. For knowledge is now in
creased, and ft is knowledge
that leads to understanding,
which is the backbone of true
charity and the sure found
ation of good will.

PROSPECTING, KING OF
SPORTS
(Blue Mountain Eagle)
(Canyon City, Oregon)
Men will go to all extremes
for some out-of-doors sport.
They will hunt, fish, play golf,
motor, row, swim or walk. All
o f which i s exhilarating,
healthful and wholesome.
But the king, queen and jack i
of all outdoor sports is—pros-;
pecting; seeking gold and for
tune in God’s hills. Hunting for
; the veins o'f gold that Mother'
Nature hid, and that lie buried i
and hidden in the out of wav
places; deep canyons or high
on mountain tops.
Prospecting quickens hope, |
j strengthens faith, hardens the j
I muscles and makes one con- j
templative, philosophical, sci
entific and practical.
; And it is remunerative, and a
| -survey will reveal that most
j prospectors, who have fol-j
| lowed the eternal search for a
course of years, have been re-1
paid; have made a stake. They
have not kept it, or put it to
| the best use, but they have
■ made all the way from a few !
j thousands to fortunes. There ;
are no limitations to prospect-1
ing, for search and speculation
may lead around the world or
j through it.
Few opportunities offer the i
possibilities to young men, well j
equipped, as prospecting. They i
should have some knowledge j
l ef geology, mineralogy, chem
j istry, and woodsmanship. In
fact their information should 1
' be, and must be, comprehens-.
; ive and varied.
| For an outdoor sport pros- j
pecting is the king of them all.
Splendid Recipe for
Cooking Dog Salmon'
During -a long sojourn in the
North, we have heard many an
old-timer arguing on the best:
’ method for preparing and,
! cooking the usually tasteless j
! dog salmon. But the best recipe j
we have ever encountered is
: that advocated by F. G. Kap
: oleinan, a widely known, old
I timer who is now clerk of the
court up in the third division.
Here it is: First clean the fish
thoroughly, being careful to re
move the fins and scales, as
these are very brittle and in
the baking, instead of brown
ing, burn and turn black, and
give the finished product a dis
colored appearance. Slice thin
and place on the plank on
which the fish has been laid.
Salt and pepper to taste. The
fish may be stuffed if desired,
by using stale bread as a base
and any favorite recipe. While
it is not generally known, a
dressing^ highly flavored with
cinnamon is very delicious.
Place several strips of bacon
across the fish and place in the
oven. A couple of times while
baking, baste the fish with
milk, either canned or fresh, to
which is added a spoonful of
biown sugar, which not only
adds to the flavor of the fish,
but is also good for the plank.
Bake for three-quarters of an
hour in a hot oven. When nice
ly browned, remove from the
oven, throw the fish away and
serve the plank.
Just for Fun
A pat on the back sends many
a man forward.
“Do cucumbers distress all
people, doctor?’’ “No, mad
am ; only those who eat them.”
To our way of thinking the
most serious mistake on earth
is being too serious;
It seems to us that most men
want a heavyweight purse for
a lightweight fight.
Pete Wilson says the height of
ignorance is thinking you know
everything.
What this country needs is
socks guaranteed for 10,000
miles.
People smoke so much now it
is hard to tell when to call the
fire department.
It seems to us all right to fol
low your natural bent unless it
makes you crooked.
Noel Traversy says that
work never hurts a man unless
he keeps away from it.
The burning question of the
hour in many Hyder homes is
“Who will get up and start the
fire?”
It seems to us that when a
woman plans a party, her chief
fun consists in making a list of
those she won’t invite.
B. B. says when a husband
gives his wife a pair of socks,
they should never be to the
jaw.
When you have explained
your proposition and the man
says: “I'll consider it,” don’t
be fooled. He probably won’t
Even the man who tries to
obey the law by doing nothing
may get pinched for non-sup
port, vagrancy or loitering.
ALASKA NOTES!
Culled From the Newspapers j
Of the Territory.
“Sandy” McDonald, pioneer
resident of Fairbanks, died re
cently in that city as a result of
paralytic stroke suffered last j
summer. He was a native of
Ohio and aged about 70.
The steamer Santa Ana, on
the Seattle-Alaska run for
more than twenty-five years,
was sold recently to the Orange
Belt Steamship Co., of Tampa,
Florida, and will be employed
in the fruit carrying trade
between Central America and
the United States.
That honey of excellent qual
ity can be produced in Alaska,
has been successfully demon
strated by F. A. Cooper, of j
Wrangell. Cooper imported
last spring a hive of bees for
the pollenization of his cherry,
apple and plum trees. The ex
periment was successful and in
addition the bees produced 110
pounds of excellet honey, be
sides throwing off an extra
swarm of bees.
A corporation known as the
Alaska Steel and Wire Comp
any has been organized in
Ketchikan to manufacture gal
vanized wire fish trap netting.
The factory is under construct
ion and the wire making ma
chinery has been contracted
for and will be ready for de
! livery this month. Henry Rod
! en is president, W. F. Schlot
han vice-president, and N. R.
Walker is secretary-treasurer.
A. F. Stowe, U. S. Commiss
ioner at Kodiak, went south re
cently to consult an eye spec
ialist. Judge Stowe lost an eye
recently by accident and the
other eye is now giving him
trouble.
Leonard Seppala, famous dog
musher, left recently for the
i States with a string of racing
dogs and expects to compete in
a number of races during the
winter.
