TAKES A FALL
VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov.
11. Delbert Lea, a somnam
bulist, opened the window of
liis bedroom, jumped out and
fell a distance of twenty feet
to the sidewalk below, last,
night. No sustained a broken
rib and dislocated a shoulder,
but did not awaken. Upon
gaining his senses, he said he
dreamed the house was on fire
and lie wished to escape the
flames.

DAXC’K SATURDAY XKiHT
A regular old-fashioned barn
dance will be held Saturday night
at Robarts' hall, under the auspices
of the ladies of the local Catholic
church. It will be no fancy dress
affair, and you will be as welcome
In your woolen shirts and overalls
as if you wore the conventional
black. Good music has been pro
vided for the occasion, and in addi
j tion to the dancing there will be
served delicious refreshments, for
which no extra charge will be made.
The cause is a laudable one, and all
should attend.

pedlent to use the available govern
ment appropriation of $2,000,000 in
the less expensive work now going
on in building toward the coal fields.
It is the belief that from Anchorage
traffic can proceed by steamer to
Seward and thence to other points.
Seward would like it better if the
government would connect it with
the coal fields at once by rail. That
must come in time, but it seems the
logical thing to do first. . But An
chorage is here, and we must await
the outcoine of what on the surface
seems to be rather an unbusiness
like method of procedure.
It was at least satisfying to learn
from Mr. .1. A. Moore, special agent
of the land office department, that
the Anchorage boom in town lots
wi uld not afford the real estate
sharks an opportunity to swindle
the people by offering adjoining
plots at extravagant figures, as the
government has full control of the
surrounding area under the forest
reserve law. As we sailed out from
Anchorage we saw a heavy black
line of smoke encircling half the
horizon. A forest fire wasteful,
needless, preventable—and we
thought of all the talk of forest Con-1
servation and the need of deeds, not
words -of conservation based on
common sense.
There is room in this vast area ■
of productive territory for many An
chorages. There will be auuMier.

Mines are being opened in the ter
