HAINES NOTES
(Special Correspondence)
Haines. Aug. 21.—T; e stork visi
ted Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Jones Thurs
day evening, last, and left with them
a nice girl baby. We are not advised
as 10 the weight of the young baby,
but am told that It i8 an exceptional
ly large and healthy looking baby
Mother and c iId are doing nicely.
The lire last Thursday night was
the worst that Haines has ever had.
and would have been much worse if
t'.iere had hoeu a high A'ind. and the
r.iiu assisted the firement materially
in their labors in subduing the blaze.
Too much praise can not be given to
the tire laddies of Fort Seward and
Haines, and although our boys work
ed very liaid, 1 doubt if they would
lie been able to get the lire under
control, if they had not had help
t'rom the boys at tLe fort.
Mrs Xaud, Miss Stanlield and Miss
Carter left on the Jefferson today for
Juneau. The ladies have been stop
ping during the summer ort at Mr.
Stuntield's homestead, about Ave
miles west of Haines.
Miss Jackson, matron of the Or
phanage here, and Mrs. C. G. Den
ton left on the Jefferson for Juneau
on a short visit, and will very like
ly return on the next large boat.
ALPINE CLUB DANCE
Preparations are under way for
the Alpine club dance at Elks hall
next Wednesday evening, August 30.
and a good time is assured for all
who can be there.
The Princess Louise orchestra will
be there, you bet! It has been some
weeks since the people of Skagway
have been given the privilege of trip
ping the light fantastic toe to the
cracking good band of musicians, so
the turn-out should include all those
who dance and most of those who do
not. The Princess Louise will be
taken off of the Skagway run after
this trip and this will be your last
chance this year, so be there if yon
want a good time.
Ttemember the date—August 30—
and keep it open.

The poles are all set and ready
for the wires to connect up the elec
trlcal energy necessary for the pro
posed road construction north of
Liarsville. Rumor has It that the
work is to begin shortly. Power for
the work will bo furnished by the
Home Power company, and all 1b
ready for the wires. Mr. Nye, with a
force of men has been busy this
summer and now has everything in
shape.
Some road work has been done,
a bent having been placed in the
wagon bridge, under the supervision
of Mr. Woods of Juneau, who is
connected with the Forestry Serv
ice. the latter having taken over the
project of building a road up the
valley. Mr. Woods and his crew of
men will probably put a third or
fourth concrete pier for that bridge
as soon as the river lowers to a stage
where work can be carried on safe
ly. Some gravel work has been done
on the approach to the bridge. It is
hoped that the proposed work on the
bridge will be carried out and tha'
structure put In first class shapo.
SI'X DAY SCHOOL PICXIC
T:.e First Presbyterian Sunday
School gave their annual picnic on
Tuesday afternoon. Every child in
town, which could bo gotten hold of
was given a most cordial invition and
all had a splendid time. The picnic
consisted of an auto ride from the
Social Centre up State street as far
as Liarsville and a return to the
wharf and about town. The young

joyed this to the full. Billy Flynn
offered the use of his car and with
the two transfer trulks and Mr. Suf
fecool's Studebaker, they had plenty
of room so that all who desired
could ride. On the return to the So
cial Centre, the ladies who had not
taken the ride had ready delicious
ice cream, excellent cuke and some
ice cream melons In abundance for
all. Younger and older ones enjoy
ed this picnic to the full, as some
thing different from what they have
heretofore tried.
FUR YIELD IX I'MII
NORTH IS REVIEWED
Interesting news regarding the fur
production of the last season, and
life among the traders, trappers and
natives in the Porcupine river dis
trict, 011 the Arctic coast near Her
schel island, and other point in that
region waa brought by Bishop I. 0.
Stringer, who arrived here , Sunday,
after a visit of several weeks to that
part of the country. The bishop
says:
Muskiat Catch.
"The muskrat hunt was very dis
appointing this year 011 account of
the late season. The law prevented
j the killing of rats after the middle
of June. Storms tnd cold weather
were prevalent during April and
May and very little hunting could
be done till the last two weeks before
the close season. Consequently men
who in other years ,»ot 600 to 1000
rats this year were able to procure
only 50 to 200.
? "In the Fort Yukon neighborhood
the usual large catch was made as
there is no close season. It is felt
j that if the present regulations re
garding the close season are to be
continued some exception should be
made in the case of a late spring.
"Many who have studied the ques
tion think it is necessary to regu
late the killing of vats. They seem
to increase for a certain number of
years much the same as rabbits and
the numbers killed during the plen
tiful. years do not make any appreci
able difference. Then because of
disease probably they rapidly de
crease and the strictest kind of pro
tection cannot prevent their becom
ing exceedingly scarce for a few
years. It is predicted that for the
next few years rats will be verj
scarce in this country. This spring
over SO.000 rats vere shipped out
from Fort Yukon. The price pad
was from $1 to $1.50 each. The last
named price was the usual one al
lowed in trade.
Foxes on Arctic.
"Letters have been received from
Rev. W. A. Geddes, at Herscbcl
Island, and W. D. Young, at Shingle
Point. They report white foxes as
being plentiful along the Arctic coast
last winter. Some Eskioms who usu
ally got half a dozen foxes in a sea
son were able last winter to secure
from 50 to 200.
