ALASKA REVERSED
Alaska has apparently missed a ter
rible catastrophe. On the last boat i
the Gateway received a notice from ,
Rev. DeForest Samuel Stone, of Wash- i
ington, D. C., stating that God had de
ckled to destroy the world, but before !
doing so would give his people a sign.
On Friday, October 14, the earth
would reverse and turn backward for
a week, then would turn in the right
direction again. The sun would be
darkened, the moon give no light, and j
the stars rain from the heav.ens. ,
Upon receipt of the letter we were
greatly worried for a few moments,
fearing we would reverse far enough
that the first would come around once
more and our bills would have to be
paid over, but after reading the letter
came to the conclusion that it was a
mistake. While the rest of the world
may have turned backward, and chaos ;
resulted, Alaska undoubtedly kept
right on grinding away, never skip- |
ping a cog, and summer slipping into
fall as per usual program. The rev
erend divine also claimed that the
grass would be green and the trees
bear their leaves until late in Decem
ber. Parties taking his word for it
and wearing their B. V. D.’s on sleigh
ing parties should call for a rain
check, as uncomfortable results might
ensue.
This monkeying with our mundane
sphere is not what it is cracked up to
be. One time, back in Kansas, we
remember when a rainmaker visited
the district, and for a certain sum
agreed to bring about a much-needed
down-pour. He did, but could not turn
the water-tap off, and drowned out
the neighborhood. He left about three
jumps before an irate Polack farmer
with a pitchfork, and we still owe him
the money.
While we have every confidence in
the eternal wisdom of a Supreme Be
ing, or did have until we saw Alaska,
we have our doubts about His pausing
long enough to juggle this terrestrial
football just to alarm the inhabitants.
The last time any record is mentioned
of any such solar phenomena, Joshua
commanded the sun to stand still
while he smote several thousand ene
mies, hip and thigh. The Washington
divine may be a second Joshua, and he
may not, but we will take a chance
on ordering another ton or so of paper
and preparing to select our Christmas
presents.

TO KLONDIKE GOLD FIELD
VANCOUVER, E. C., Nov. 4.—A
number of former Klondikers, attract
ed by the stories of the find of coarse
gold on the tributaries of Eagle river,
near Uease lake, in Carrias district,
are preparing to beat spring stam
peders into the district by going in
over the snow this winter. “Billy”
Grady, one of the discoveres, who with
his partner, Ford, brought out the
gold which started the excitement
when they reached Wrangell, Alaska,
is at the St. Francis hotel, and one
of the busiest men in the city meet
ing northerners seeking information
as to the find. River navigation is
closed and the winter trip will have to
be made by way of Atlin over the ice
with dogs. Jack Taylor, Yukoner,
is leaving for La Pas, Manitoba, to
get his dog team. There is a pos
sibility that Tommy McSmart, one
time driver of H .M. mail in the Yu
kon, will accompany Taylor. Reports
from Stewart, at the head of Portland
Canal, are that four outfits have al
ready started for Eagle creek over the
Salmon river glacier.
