I once had a birthday party,
it was at two o’clock in the alter
noon at our house. We had cake,
cccoa, candy, and sandwiches.
Alter we had eaten we went
out on the porch and played
games.
Tiie children I invited were
Mariano, Verna, Frank, Leonard,
Buddie, Margaret, Marie, Helen,
and Freddie. We played house.
Ivluriano was the mother and
FranK was the father. All the
rest were children.
The mother and father made
us do a lot of work.
It was a happy birthday
party. I told the children to
come again. They said they
would, be glad to come again.
Tne Wind And The Sun
Verna Wills
The wind and the sun once
got into a quarrel as to which
was tin* stronger They both
told of some wonderful things
they had done. They were going
to test it by getting a cloak off
a traveler who was passing by.
The boastful wind was go
ing to try it first. He begin to
blow and nearly tore the butt
ons off his cloak. The harder he
blew the closer the traveler
would draw his cloak together.
He got so tired that lie had to
give up.
Then the sun took his turn,
tie drew the clouds away, that
were around him and shone
b tightly on the traveler. At
first he only threw back his
cloak. After while it got so hot
iie flung it off and went under
a shady place to rest.

about neglected," stated Frank
Manley, well known big oper
a tor of the Interior who passe i
thru So ward the forepart of the
week en route to his ground on
Willow Creek, Iditarod district.
'The trouble with mining in
Alaska today is that it lias been
retarded, and will continue to be
field back, until the law has been
changed permitting associations
to stake.
“No one now can hardly
afford to grubstake anyone for
one cannot stake a sufficient
amount of ground to justify the
expense and the chances one
takes. In other words, take a
cheap or low grade creek; if you
wanted to secure ample ground
for operating on any kind of a
large scale you would have to
stay on the creek for a year
before enough ground is procur
pd to make it worth while to go
ahead with it, and cheap ground
seems to be all that is left. As
an example, take the ground I
now possess in the Iditarod. It
cost me over $3,000 to stake
about 100 claims. Hundreds of
creeks and gulches that ought to
be worked profitable under the
association law, now are produc
ing nothing.”
Last season Mr. Manley con
structed an eight and one-half
mile ditch in order to get a pro])
er head of water for this season's
hydraulic operations which will
be carried on with the aid of a
huge drag line outfit. Last season
he employed about 30 men but
he said about 12 would be all
employed this year.
