of $50 to $75 a month, without
board. Com, he says, is selling at
35 cents a bushel, hay $20 a ton,
oats $25 a ton. The Alaskans he
has met thus far are very anxious
to get back to the land of blueber
ries and salmon and he predicts that
many of them will return North dur

OLDT1MER FINDS OUTSIDE
NOT LIKE THE OLD DAYS
In a letter addressed to Frank
Kourke, secretary of the local igloo
of Pioneers, Alle» Crane says he
finds life in Seattle quite unlike
anything he experienced during his.
long residence in tfie North. Crane,
it will be recalled, had the mis
fortune to freeze his feet over on
the Yukon a year ago and was sent
Outside last fall. “Nothing serious
in life any more,” he says. “All is
gaity and frivolity. Over 3.000 di
vorces in Seattle last year. There
is an average of two killed and
seven injured every 24 hours by
automobiles, and about a dozen
holdups and robberies. The average
for murders is about four a week.
“Flying machines are so common
that you don't bother to look up
at them—or rather, the girls wear
such short skirts and pretty stock
ings that you don’s get a chance
to look up. And still, with all the
gaity and amusements in this city
of 350,000, I get lonesome for my
honest Alaska friends and dear lit
tle old log cabin on the Koyukuk.
“Since I have been here I have
been attending the State of Wash
ington School of Mines, taking a
special course in geology. It might
be of some benefit to me in the
future.
"I law at Juneau a^short time
and saw Governor Riggs. The home
for Pioneers is not what the aver
age person thinks it is. It is more
in the line of a place of detention
than it is a home for the unfortunate
individual who is to spend the last
days of his life there. Once you
enter the place as an inmate of it,
you do so subject to legislative act
and rules made by its wardens. Your
property, both real and personal,
and your body also, become the
property of the Government. And
once in, it takes an act of Congress
to get you out and restore your
rights.' I did not stop there.
“After I left Nenana, two of
those broken pieces of bone worked
'out of my foot, but I had to have
the third one cut out, and another
I one trimmed up. It laid me up
i about two weeks. I am using my
■ artificial feet very satisfactorily. No
; one would think I had artificial ap
pliances to see me dodging the auto
mobiles, just as good as any one. My
; feet get tired very easily, however.
About three miles and they have tc
rest.”
The oldtimer tells about navinp
run across Dave Lowrey in the Pro
| vidence hospital, in Seattle, and oi
. visiting him frequently until he died
i on Christmas night. The two old
. timers went up" river on the same
boat but became separated at Daw
• son, where Crane laid over. Crane
says he reported Lowrey’s death tc
the Yukon Order of Pioneers, ir
Seattle, but the organization paiti
no attention to him, and none oi
its members were noticed at the
funeral.
| Mrs. E. A. Williams and Mrs. T
| J. McCrosky returned to Nenana to
| day from a several-day visit ir
j Fairbanks.

LET THE STARS DO IT!
Character-analysis places the cred
. it. and the blame, where it belongs.
How little effort is seemingly re
, quired tfor some people to be gape}'
Do we realize the efforts it costs
others to be ordinarily decent? Take
Joan d'Arc, on the one hand, and
Jean Val Jean, on the other—that’s
it!
How well do you know the work
ings of your own child’s mind? He
surprises you, at times, doesn’t he?
Are you seeking to make the most
of his natural gifts, or just going
it blind? A horoscope would enable
you to find the "kink” that baffles
you in husband, wife or friends. No
given rule fits every one. Govern
with judgment; yield with tact,—
when necessary. Horoscope and
chart, $2.
