iditarod has xo xeed of a
PREACHER
While the residents of the Iditar
od section do not claim to be any
better than other people, they cer
tainly feel that they are just as
good, even if there is no one thero
to minister to their spiritual wants.
In fact there is no need of ;i "sky
pilc-t" «n that "neck o' the woods"
if Editor Arbuckle's paper speaks
r>y tae book. A minister of the gos
pel wrote to Iditarod asking if the
camp needed his services and the
Pioneer replied editorially on the
subject as follows:
'SVs may as well be entirely
frask with our correspondent and
inform him at the outset that it is
our firm belief that there is no
pressing demand for the services of
a minister in Iditarod. Not that we
ar© an irreligious people—far frcui
it Xor need the reverend gentle
man be unnecessarily concerned
abcut the "deplorable fact" that we
are deprived of religious services.
Tho people of the Iditarod section
arc of such a cosmopolitan niake
uo that it is exeremely doubtful if
there could be found enough adher
ents to any one religion to form a
congregation. The population is
rather widely scattered, and travel
between the different sections is ex
tri-melv difficult at certain seasons
o' the year.
"I* is probable that the only
kind i.f minister who would bo at
ail popular in this section would
be an exponent of "muscular Chris
tianity." Such a person, devoting
the business hours of the day to
manipulating a Xo. 2, and his leis
ure hours of the day to spiritual
rrnistratioas among his co-workers,
would find a splendid field."
RIG ICE FLOES ARE
MENACE TO NAVIGATION
Cordova Times: The officers of
the steamer Mariposa, report that
the big steamship was forced out of
its regular path by immense ice
floes from Columbia glacier. The
Mariposa took the inside channel
between the wreck of the Olympia
and the- mainland to avoid the great
bergs which were floating in the
channel usually taken by steamers
entering and leaving Ellamar.
The officers believe that the un
usual ice conditions must have been
caused by an earthquake which
caused the big glacier to enrnty
millions of tons of ice into the
bay as the field of ice w-as ex
ttsisive and the bergs larger than
any ever before encountered along
this Dart of the coast of Alaska. Se
vere earthquake shocks have been
experienced around Juneau and oth
er Southeastern points and the Mari
posa's officers belieyed that the
disturbances had extended to the
north and caused the glaciers to
break loose.
Captains of launches who have
recently made the trip to Port "Wells
report that the Columbia glacier,
which has always been very active
dur'ng the late sumiaer, has been
discharging immense quantities of
ice this fall, and at times the chan
nel between Glacier island and the
srlackr has been packed with the
iloes. They express the belief that
the ice encountered by the Mari
posa was carried out from the Gla
cier Island channel by the high tide.

Cooking Your Goose.
The phrase "I'll cook your goose foi
you" originated lu ihis manner: Eric,
king of Sweden, coming to a certain
town, besieged it, but, having few sol
diers, was obliged to desist. The in
habitants in derision hung out from
the walls a goose on a pole. Later
Erie returned with re-euforcements
and in reply to tlie challenge of the
hemUls observed that he" had come "to
cook their goose for them" and pro
ceeded to storm the town and make it
hot for the Inhabitants.

ARMSBY'S
CAPTURE
By DONALD CHAMBERLIN
Armsby was to be his aunt's heir.
The day he cnnie of age the old lady
sent for lilm and thus addressed him;
"Bert. I wish yon to marry. I take
It for granted that you are fancy free.
I would not for the world force you to
wed any one you don't love. There Is
a girl who 1 am sure you would love
If you only knew her as I do. I wish
you to become acquainted with her,
and If, after a certain time, you don't
fancy her I slmll not Insist on your
yielding to my wishes."
"I don't wish to marry nnd I won't"
"But you are not so unreasonable as
to avoid the girl 1 have mentioned?"
"Yes, I am."
Terhaps It was the fact of her neph
ew's Indifference to her fortune, per
haps her great affection for him, per
haps a desire to have her own way.
At any rate, the old lady resolved to
conquer. She talked of other matters
for awhile, then said carelessly:
"How would you like a trip abroad7"
"I should be delighted, but It wouid
cost several thousaud dollars."
"X will furnish the amount necessary
on one condition—that on your return
you spend a week with me."
The conditions were accepted. Arrns
by went abroad and on his return
went directly to his aunt's country
house, where she was at the time. At
dinner he was presented to Miss Lucy
Ellison. He saw at once that be had
been drawn Into a trap. lie had
agreed to spend a week In the house
and wus to be besieged by this young
woman.
This was true, and there was more
that he was not aware of. Miss Elli
son had a way with her that was very
taking with men. No one could find
out exactly why, but they tumbled
over one another in endeavoring to
wlu a smile from her. Sometimes she
was coy, sometimes aggresslvo. She
knew when to bo tho one nnd when to
be the other.
Aruisby was Indignant at the trick
his aunt had played him. After din
ner, finding her alone, he said to her:
"Aunt, you have brought me here In
order that this girl may get me for a
husband. 1 will keep my contract I
