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.
"The gasoline I burn In my car costs
me 8fi cents n gallon."; ? From tile Pa

Queer War Money.
- - Somf very-odd kinds of Tntmpy wefe"
brought Into circulation during th<'
war, owing to the scarcity of copper
find nickel. Germany issued hundreds
of millions of five-pfennig nnd ten
pfennlfl! Iron coins the hitler output
J of those pieces he In ir coated with zinc
I to prevent rust. Iron coins were like
wise minted h.v the L'ovrrntnenls of
Sweden, Norway nnd I'cnnmrk. The
Oermnns Issued one-pfennig pieces of
|l aluminum. and In Algeria also ulum, -
| Inum coins of 11^ ?? ce|tlhne< nnd tew
I centime.* made their appearance in cir
culation. Germany issued moviln notes,
j nnd the h^-nl governments to tli.it conn*'

I . of the smallest .vnlu?> r known. rep
|j relenting ?????? fi f' I? ?>f n rent. Even
more Curious was the p-'sT'lton :*d
money Issued In some of the enemy*
occupied cities In !? ranee. It was In
denoinlnMtions up w?' five francs. nnd
was of different colors nnd shu. pea-T
square, round, octagonal. oynl nnd dia
mond shnped. This "card money" wns
guaranteed hy the local municipality,
nnd wns good only for use in transac

It wns Issued.
No Birthday Anniversary.
It Is possible for a baby born this
year never again to have n birthday.
?: For this Is lenp yenr. nnd n baby horn
on the right srpof nf the right fPne will
almost certainly hnve no birthdays to
keep. 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.

Donkey Gave "Ha-H*."
! i wns strolling along a shady lane
with the girl of my choice. On the
other side of the fence was 8 donkey
j In a pasture. I hardly noticed him.
j for I wns trying to frame a proper pro
j posnl. Just then an automobile load
of our acquaintances aped along the
i highway n xtiort distance from us, nnd
I knowing they must have noticed tuy
i endearing manner toward my compan
{ ton, I became embarrassed. However,
I managed to blurt out a proposal of
marriage: whereupon the donkey,
i standing there so dejectedly, suddenly
woke up enough to lift his head nnd
? bray, to the amusement of our friends,
i who were still near enough to hear it.
To cap the climax, the girl also gave
me the ha-ha. ? Exchange.

WHY break your back over a wash
tub? Why skin your knuckles on a
scrubbing board? Why make washday
a day of horrors?
You don't have to. Wash the easy
Clean Easy way and washday goes by
like a songi Honest, it's a regular eye
opener what that Clean Easy Naptho>
leine Wash Soap can dol
, You simply boil your clothes in a tub of
water with a half cake of Clean Easy, cut
up and dissolved. Stir 'em a bit for ten
minutes ? and every garment comes
out clean!
Can you beat that? Your washing is
finished before your neighbor has scrubbed
half her clothes. And it's a whole lot
cleaner, too!
Clean Easy lasts longer, because it has
a firm base and doesn't soften up like other
soaps. Notice how different it looks. It
is a truly wonderful preparation for clean
ing and sweetening clothes.
Try it ? now. Get a cake of Clean Easy
and learn how to forget "blue" washday!
Keep your health and sparkle instead of
wasting it over a miserable wash tub!
Ask your grocer for Clean Easy. One
cake lasts two weeks.
