Percy says th it Dawson is still the leading mining center of the North and that it is still the greatest mining town. There are about 5,000 peo ple there at present and the town is very orderly, owing to the pres ence of the Northwest Mounted Po lice.

Tohn Smith, of this city, will subscribe to this statement A short time ago Mr. Smith chanc ed to be alone over night at his home in this city, in such a case it is natural to suppose that Mr. Smith was a little nervoas when bed-time drew near. Before retiring for the night Mr. Smith made a round of the douse and carefully fastened all the doors and windows at least he thought he did. About mid- ni?at he was awakened oy a noise and was absolutely certain in his own mind that there were burglars in the house. He arose and hunted the house over. He found the front door open and his worst fears were confirmed. He locked the door and again re tired but not to sleep. No sooner was he in bed than he heard somebody at work on the safe where he kept his papers. Aside from these docu ments Mr. Smith does not keepany valuables in his safe and he knew that at that time there was only 75 cents in cash in that reposito ry. However, he did not desire to have a $100 safe blown to "smithereens" for 75 cents, and he again hunted the house over. All was as quiet as a grave yard. Mr. Smith began to think that he "had 'em." He became so nervous over the affair that sleep was out of the question, so he sat up the balance of the night and played solitaire. Day finally appeared and Mr. Smith j discovered that a large wood-rat had been locked up in the bath room and had been gnawing its way to -liberty. What became of the rat is not known, but John is pursuing the "even tenor of his way to outward appear ances calm and collected. Dusty Motes. "Water, water everywhere," A Few Things Easily Done.

How does your dobr" yard Took? If you have never mowed the grass before, now is. a good time to begin. , If .you can't afford a lawn mower get a scythe. There is plenty of moisture to keep your lawa green up to July if you will give it a little attention. Why ".not do it? . It will help the looks of your place wonder fully, and won't cost any thing but a lit tle labor. ... .. How is your back yard? A pretty good way to judge a man is by his back yard, you know. Is yours full of old tin cans, broken crockery, discarded kitchen utensils, cast off clothing and other dis gusting clap-trap? Get it in a pile, burn what is combustible and hire a man to haul off the remainder. This will give you a ten per cent boost in the estima tion of all clean and orderly people, your self included. Do you have a Tot of old moss covered fruit trees in your yards? Trim out the top, scrape off the moss ; buy ten cents worth of lime, catch a pail of rainwater, make a gallon of whitewash and white wash the trunks. This will improve the health of the trees and add wonderfully to the looks of your place. Do the slops from your house ran out through a spout in the wall and fall into a disgusting, disease breeding pool out side? You had better stop that kind of thing. If you don't, yon will take your departure from this sphere suddenly someday without choice of routes or aay definite location for the future. An Eastern man will-hold his breath and run till he gets out of range of such a nuisance. You couldn't live in the same ward with it anywhere except in Oregon. Better connect with the sewer; it's cheaper in the long run. If you can't afford to do this, or are not properly lo cated for it, you had better carry off your slops and not let them farm a menancing pool. minds of would.be statesmen, it Is ainua- ingto note the manaer of men whose ambition leads them to step forward for support at the polls. .
