AMERICAN SIDE CARS
INNOVATION IN PARIS
PARIS, June 10 (by Associated
Press).—Taxicabs are to have a new
competitor in the streets of Paris,
thanks mostly to the American army.
Five hundred side-cars are to be li
censed to ply for hire at about twenty
cents a mile. '
The American army has made great
use of side-cars in Paris and their

between 50 and 60 per cent of taxi
cabs have only one passenger.

STRILE LEADS
TO CAUTION
During the past week there have
been persistent rumors circulated in
the Copper river valley, which have
been passed from one to another all
the way from Paxton’s to Chitina and
Cordova to Kennecott and Nizina that
a new strike had been made close to
Chisana.
The result has been that horses
doubled in prices overnight, and a
great many persons began to be
imbued with stampede fever.
Now, we have been making inquiries
and interrogated some reliable pros
pectors who have only just arrived
from that section, and they claim there
is no reason for any stampede.
Seems to us, that this is a good
time to practice caution and to know
exactly what is behind the idea before
going to the expense of pulling stakes
and starting out on a wild goose chase.
It is not so very many years since
the last Chisana stampede when peo
ple lost their heads and traveled over
those very trails improperly equipped
and without sufficient capital to even
exist and be able to prospect.
That is the kind of thing which
gives the country a black eye quicker
than anything.
There is not the slightest doubt in
our minds but that there are great
riches to be found in the ChlBana and
surrounding district, but it costs a, lot
of money and time to find them, and
the people who allow themselves to
be influenced by a will o’ the wiBp
story, will live to bitterly regret it.—
