Jaueau, May 16.—Governor Riggs
is anxious to secure the co-operation
ox the Southeast Alaska (Game and
Fish club Klks, Moosq and other
organizations for the stocking of
Admiralty Island with live game.
A. prominent game olub of New
York has informed Governor Riggs
that it has a fund to place wild
goat in Alaska. This club will be
able to transport the anhnals as far
as Seattle ,from which point trans
portation and1 distribution must be
provided.
A'so the government has oome
forward with a proposition to fur
nish live elks for breeding purpose
o[( Admiralty islandf. This depart
ment will secure the live elk from
'he Olympic reserve, and: transpor
tation will have to be arranged
from Seattle. Governor Riggs sug
gests the Klks club of Juneau take
act.on la this connection.
It is also probable if the Moose
lod?e at Juneau would take up the
-.question of bringing live moose to,
soutneast Alaska the Territory
would be able to assist financially.
Recently.deer were sent fromj south
east to mid'dle West Alaska, where
they are thriving on the Island in
the vicinity of Prince "Williams
sound. "~l M.|
Governor Riggs is a firm believer
j in concerted action between the
I Territory and the communities to
I promote tho wild game of the Ter

a pioneer of Dawson, where he was
engaged In the hardware andi sport

This is yougn Mr. Packer's first

He spent his boyhoodl days In Daw

EVER STAMP WHITE HORSES?
Peculiar Childish Idea Which May
Bring Back Old Days to Some
of the Reader*.
The oar was u loug time coming,
and a very small, dirty find Joyous girl
on ono roller skate confided to an In
terested bystander that there were
"two white horses coming."
"I'll stamp 'em both," she added, and
proceeded to 'i?k her thumb and jam
It Into u soiled pink palm. T^lee over
It had to be done, with eyes fixed upon
the approaching team.
"Why stamp them?" Inquired the
stranger.
"Why, don't you know? When 1
stamp a hundred I'll find something.
Found a penny last time."
Just then the newspaper boy arrived
with his sack, and as he took the
money from the wooden bench, a
penny rolled toward the gutter. ' The
unkempt little figure swayed on Its
single slcnte. A frown of disapproval
followed the boy's Industrious sefl'rch.
While .the pennies were in the bag on
the bench, they were property and to
be respected. But It was plain to any
one with eyes that a lost penny be
longed to the finder—In the code of
the little girl. ; j
When It was picked up and dropped
Into the boy's pocket, she turned to
the sympathetic bystander. "Don't you
hate boys with freckles?" she asked.
"Besides, I'd only stamped 'leven.
Walt till f get 'nuther hundred."
Are Aviators Born?
There was a time when It was held
that a man must be especially born
for aeronautic duties. Experience has
brought ou the fact that the average
young man can make an excellent
aviator. Captain Guynemer,' Major
Bishop, Captain William Thaw, Cap
tain Ball of the Lafayette escadrllle,
and practically all the famous avia
tors were not men who Impressed any
body with being different from other
men. ■
Of the thousands of allied aviators
there are probably not five hundred
men who had seen more than a few
months of military service before
Joining the air service. Most of them
had never seen any military service.
In planning an organization .for the
selection and training of aviators, the
aircraft board and the signal corps of
the United States have had to prepare
to deal entirely with men who had
never seen military service, as other
countries have done.—Henry Wood
house In Everybody's.
Americanism* In Britain.
Lord Derby, in advising us not to
"get rattled," has added another word
to our war vocabulary, or, at any rate,
given an old word a new meaning. In
this sense "rattled" is an Americanism,
and we remember reading an article by
W. D. Howells some thirty years ago.
In which he said he was not very eas
ily rattled. Of course we have used
the word In this country with other
meanings for many centuries; even
Pepys relates on one occasion now he
rattled his wife, but that was more In
the nature of grumbling, while Lord
Derby evidently Intends us not to get
alarmed or excited, which is the real
American sense of the word.—London
Chronicle. ,
