RUNS ON RAILS OF WOOD Alaskan Transport System IumHIm 1i Mllii of Territory an4 Dom fah celUnt Work. O. P. Gaustad of <falrbaoks, Alaska, la owner and operator of one of tha "farthest north" railways In ths world. His rsllroad "system" constats of 10 ml lex of woodeu rails that stretch be twaen the head of navigation on the Tolovana river to the rich placer mines above, some 75 miles overland from Fairbanks. The motive power of hla rsllroad Is a motor car, and It has done heroic vtork for the last two sea sons In Imitating a genuine steam Iim. coraotlve. Mr. Gaustad went to Alas ka In the big rush of *98. MI have a sawmill half way between the Tolovana placer* and the head of navlgHtlon on the river." be said re cently In Los Angeles. "For two years I have operated the railroad to haul logs to my mill, and from Micro to haul the Hawed lumber to the mines. The track Is 15 miles long and Is of wooden rails. The motor car Is, of course, equipped with tlunged wheels, and hauls a little train of threo cars behind It. "In this fashion 1 hnve hauled loads as high as six tons. In addition to the lumber I haul all supplies from the head .of navigation on the river to the mines, and get $00 a ton for transport ing them. Sometimes I make eight or nine trips a' day, and this year the car covered over 0.000 miles In the course of the season. "The war brought great hnrdshlp to the, gold miners of Alaska, for, swing to tho depreciated value of the dollar, their gold Is worth but little more than half what It was five years ago. Con sequently many of the mines are shut down, for the producers figure tt is not worth while to pay excessive la bor eost? to mino gold worth only half price. "Few people realize the Immense distances in Alaska. ; From my rail road. for example, It js 1,000 miles to tidewater, by way of the .Yukon river.

Queer War Money. - - Somf very-odd kinds of Tntmpy wefe" brought Into circulation during th<' war, owing to the scarcity of copper find nickel.

This hns actually happened to a bnby who wns born during the voy age from Vokohnma to Snn Francisco on the last day of February, 1001. It Is well known that In order to, make the actual number of sunrises and sunsets experienced during n voy age round the world correspond with . the calendar an extra dqy must be In tercalated or "thrown overboard." ac cording to the direction traveled. This adjustment Is mnde nt the moment of crossing the one hundred and eightieth meridian, which runs to the west of the midway point between Japan and California. And n baby born on February AO must be content to do without birth dnys, unless he or she should happen to be on a similar spot nt the same time In goine future leap year, which 1 would he n rather wild Improbability. : ?
