Oils BOTES
Hai»es, Sept. 19.—A lumber
shack In the back part of town was
burned down night before last. As
no one has been living In the
hou9© for several months it is
thought to be the work of an in
cendiary or drunks.
A. F. McLean has his moving
pictine ouildiug inclosed and ready
for the inside work, which is be
ing retarded on account of the
lack of material.
Bad weather has hindered the
moving of the Alaska CorpoTation'6
freight, of whioh there Is quite a
lot on the wharf here waitiug for
shipment. The road is in such a
condition that it is almost impos
sible to run the large auto trucks
between heTe and Wells.
It ij very doubtful if the road
commission will be able to open the
road between Mud Bay and1 across
the peninsula to the Haines Pack
ing company's cannery this fall on
account of the weather conditions.
CHEESE VERSUS MEAT.
CUEKSK TAUTI.KTS.—Cut six slices
an inch thick fioiu u stale loaf of
bread. t::Ue out the ccnter anil fry
the slices in deep, hut fat. Melt a table
spoonful of butter in a saucepan with

COST OF ARMS
IS REDUCED
Washington, Sept. 19.—The gov
ernment's large operations In the
purchase of arms and ammunition
enable it to secure from time to
time reductions in price as compar
ed with, that which is paid by oth
er parties, or sometimes heretofore
even by the government itself, when
making purchases which hAvo in
the past seemed to be themselves
very large.
As an example, the government
das recently made purchase of
about 175,000,000 clip* for small
arms cartridges, with which it has
luppllrd some nine manufacturers
of small-arms ammunition, at a
price of about $11.45 per thousand,
ag compared with the customary
price oi $12 per thousand. The sav
ing to the government In the pur
chase of these clips has therefore
amourted to about $95,000.
Another example is the purchase
of some 22,000,000 bandoleers, for
carrying cartridge;, at an average
price of about 13 cents each. When
called for by individual manufactur
ers, tn smaller numbers, the pre
vious price which, has been sub
mitted was 16.7 cents apiece. The
total saving in this case there
fore amounted to something over
$750,000.

SHOOTS LARGE OWL
Annoyed because a large owl
swooped down upon one of his
ducks the other night and killed
it, skinning the fowl from the head
d&wn the neck and throat, E. T.
McBrien laid for the beast of the
air la<jt night and killed it with
two snots from a 22 caliber
lifle. The owl is one of the largest
ever seen in Skagway and meas
ure 56 inches from wing tip to
wing tio. Its claws are about an
inch aud one half in length and
curved in the shape of three fish'
hooks.
TIRE WAS FELLED
WITH SOLID GOLD
Strange things happen to automo
bile tires, but one decidely unus
ual came to the attention of W.
B. Stewart, manager of service of
the Spokane branch of the B. F.
Goodrich Rubber comgany, says the
Spokane Chronicle. Several minute
particles of gold were found in a
small quantity of black sand that
remained in an old tire received
from tne Kalispell Mercantile com
pany for repairs. A large neglect
ed cut in the tire had admitted a
small quantity of thg black "pay
sand" to the interior of the cas
ing, probably while it was plough
ing across a stream or through lake
or river sands in the vicinity of
Kalispell, Mont.
The yellow metal has been prov
ed the real stuff by its flexing
qualities, its weight, color and gen
eral appearance.
A number of members of the
Royal Flying Corps were passen
gers on the train this morning.
Many these men have seen ser
vice in France, and are now on
leave of absence spending their fur
loughs in the north.
Word wag received this morning
by the Bank of Alaska that An
drew Stevenson, president of the
Bank of Alaska, will leave Seattle
for the north Saturday on the Prin
cess Alice, and that, owing to his
delay In tlie States, he will prob
ably come direct to Skagway.
