About thia time every year,
misratjuu from Alaska to the
states begins. We are not speak
'n0- of birds or fishes, but of

ths—enjoying life, while some
of us hav$ hardly enough to eat.
Year iu and year out we have to

.... Those who are compelled to
>e:;d taeir lives in one spot arf
v.L-t all spendthrifts eith-er. Some
'here are who appear to be saving
as any of the travelers; but for
e rti.sca or other, they cannot
afford to travel. Not that they
• il crave for an outing. On the
t ..'rarj some prefer remaining: at
iion.o to travel'eg. Not so with
us. we remain at home because
»f canuoi afford to travel. Buf
lack of nil this we see a oonsola

iio c 'joy life, are not certain of

{ Jeattle, Dec. 1—'Marshall City,
new gold strike on the Yukon,
[eleven miles from Andreosky, is a
freak field, according to a num
ber c! Northern mining men, -who
have Just reached Seattle Irom
Alaska, ."Willow Creek, the stream
on wh2cb all Of the Bay; h-as beei\
found—and $250,000 was taken out
•during the last summer—is a geo
logical curiositv. The paystreak
suddenly laraeks off »1hen the tin*
ber line is reached from the high
er altitudes. All of the gold is
above the timber line. Willow
Creek is the only stream of this
character that baa ever been dis
covered in bha North, and so far as
known, in the world. A similar con
dition is found on ft tributary of
Willow Creek,
Frank Waskey, Alaska's first
delegate to congress, who spent a
fortune trying to induce congress
f-o oass a territorial government
law for Alaska, and subsequently
"went brofce" at Nome, is said to
have been one c* the biggest win
ners at Marshall City, his clean
up f. r *he past summer being about
$40,000 net. Eight paying claims
had been discovered when :the snow

CABLE ifBE
MADE WIRELESS
Seattle Nov. 28—TTie Alaska-Se
attle cable operated by the United
States Army Signal Corps, will'soon
be supplemented by wireless ser
vice, according to Dr. Louis Wins
low Austin, head oif the United
Sta'es Naval Radio-Telegraphic La
boratory at Washington, D. C. He
is at The New Washington, says
the Seattle Times.
Dr. Austin is working on experi
ments here for the purpose of im
proving the cable service between
Sea/tle and Alaska. The Keyport
svireless station, be says, will be
ccmnleted next year and commer
cial service will be available from
there to Cordova where the big na
vy wireless station is located. It
is n t planned entirely to eliminate
the cable, but the business is grow
ing at such a rate Dhafr the neces
sit\- for auxiliary Bervice is becom
ing readily apparent.
"Government ownership and oper
ation of the wireless clans of the
country could surely fee looked for
in times of trouble, but I have no
reasi n for thinking the government
will take over these plants now,"
said Dr. Austin, "it is very bard
to get the structural steel neces
' sary for building large, stations and
this may cause the pnirchase of a
few stations for use by the navy
department"
Oldest Bank ttt the World.
It is thought that the oldest bank in
the world is the Palazzo San Giorgio,
j. on the Piazza Carkameiito, iu Genoa.
This institution has played a promi
nent role In the history of the Italian
city. It was built in the year 1260 by
order of Guglielmo Boccanegra, "cap
tain" of the republic of Genoa, and
after serving as his residence was the
headquarters of the famous company
and bank of St. George.
It is held that the modern system of
banking sprang from this historic ed
ifice and that the Societa Delle Com
prere dl San Giorgio was the first "lim
ited liability company." The architect
of the building was a monk named
Oliviero. Although its architecture has
undergone a number of changes, the
facade still speaks eloquently of the
thirteenth century. Its arcades with
pointed arclsefi and it* windows form*
ed of little columns are exceedingly
attractire.—Washington Star.

A new discovery is ropor'ad
week from.' Rome, Italy, Signor Giu
lio .Ulivi, the inventor of "F" rays,
who was badly injury lii, a labora
tory experiment after many mo-ntihs
spent in a military hospital at Mi
lan, now announces that be has
succeeded in; applying) the invisible
Jnfra red waves beyond, *be red
band of the spectrum to detect ob
jects in darkness by. determining:
their length.
The new invention is known, as
"scotoecopla," meaning vision in
darkness and consists of a search
light emitting invisible rays vthichj
illuminate distant objects and ren
der them visible only tc> the ob
server. Thus by means of acotos
cpic searchlgilits warships are en
abied to see without being seen .
Photographs or rather scoto
graphs of objects in darkness can be
taken and enlarged so that enemy
coasts can be mapped. The Inven
tion can b^ used on, land and sea
as well as in the air, so that it
will be found most useful in waging
war against submarines and in de
fense against aerial craft.
Signals can be exchanged invisi
bly between ship? equipped with
ecotascopic apparatuses, and oth
er practical applications oI this
wonderful invention can be easily
obtained.

Joseph Wint, retired blacksmith,
6C8 High St., Salem, Ore., says
"My back and kidneys bothered me.
My kidneys were disordered and
my back seemed to lose strength.
Short use of Doan's Kidney Pills
soon put me in good conditio®."

On April 11, 1916, Mr. Wiut
said: "I haven't had any kidney

I give Doan'e Kidney Pills credit
for bringing saclx lasting results."
