PAPER IT F
W. A. Steele, one of the Most Interesting Newspaper Men in the World.
Jamestown Exposition, Juno 11th. Representing- newspaper interests farthest distant from the scene of the convention Will A. Steel, of Nome, Alaska and S-attl, is at the Jamestown exposition attending the annual gathering of tho National Editorial Association of which he is the treasurer. Mr. Steel traveled thousands of miles to tho Jamestown exposition and his newspaper property is locat-d a couple of thousand miles beyond his 6tarting point. IIo came direct from Seattle whero officers for the Nome News are maintained the year around to care for business accumulating during the six months cf each year when tha ice of liehring Sea shuts In the Kreat gold camp of the North and communication, except by telegraph and infrequent mails, is suspended.
Mr. Steel is a regular attendant at
gatherings of the National Editorial
Association and a unique figure in its deliberations. Not bo many years ago
he began newspaper work as a report
er in the anthracite regions of Penn
sylvania. Going to the Pacific Coast
lie was identified with Seattle newspapers until the discovery of gold in
the Klondike attracted his activities to Dawson CIty. Here he established the first newspaper, having surmounted the tremendous difficulties of those early
days in transportating a printing plant
over the sea and snow-clad mountain passes and down the river to the new
camp.
Tho Dawson News was sold, at Klon
dike prices, at the very height of Klondike's prosperity and notoriety. Mr.
Steel nnd hi3 brother, Harry G. Steel, who has always been his business associate went on down the Yukon to its mouth and located at Nome, -whose
golden beach was tho second mighty
magnet of tho North. Tho Nome News
began publication as soon as the equip
ment could bo brought from Seattle. It has since been the principal newspaper
of western Alaska, and now that gov
ernment rab?n, land wires and wireless system give direct communication with
Seattle, publishes daily the gist of the
world's news.
Aside from his newspaper interests Mr. Steel Is an exposition enthusiast. He has attended all the great fairs of recent years and was Seattle's commissioner at the Lewis and Clark Exposition in Portland. "Nothing that I have .seen has equalled the attractiveness of Jamestown," he declared. "The natural advantages of the location surpass those of any exposition ever held in this country. The grounds are charmingly arranged, the buildings are distinctive and the exhibits and features excellent. There Is every reason to expect a splendid attendance throughout the year. "Undoubtedly many Alaskans will visIt Jamestown during the season. Those who wintered in the north will be coming out within the next few weeks and those going in for the summer work will be out early in the fall. Thousands of both classes will come eastward and few of these are likely to overlook such an attraction as is offered here. "Tho people of Alaska and the Pacific coast generally are intensely interested in the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition to be held in Seattle in 1909. .They will visit Jamestown to study conditions nnd methods here and to profit by the experience of others in making their own big fair a world-wide success. You cannot find anyone in the west to admit a doubt on that score now and I am glad to say the same confidence in Seattle's enterprise and energy is expressed everywhere I have been in the east." Mr. Steele will spend the week with other members of the association at tho exposcltion. lie will visit NewYork and his old Pennsylvania home before returning to Puget Sound.

WHEELER NEWS
There Is a man in Pittsburg who will be married in a short while, and
will occupy the house a few rooms of which he has used during his bachelor days. He takes the greatest pleasure in shewing his intimate friends about the place, and Is especially delighted at the astonishment they express when his own "den" is reached. He has always been a quiet, studious fellow, but as refitted the room gives the appearance of the lounging place of a regular rounder. There are racks of long pipes; photographs cf actresses are stuck about the chimney glass; a shelf of beer steins runs all the way around the room, and a few feminine glores, handkerchiefs, and fans are scattered about. "Great Scott, Jack!" the last visitor gasped, "where did you get this outfit, and why?" "Bought out a college fellow," was the complacent reply. "Just think how pleased that dear little girl will be when she sees all this truck and thinks how much wickedness she has won me away from!" Harper's Weekly.

Great Slaughter of Salmon. In the Sea of Okotsk the salmon are suicidal and one of the most startling examples of the spendthrift eide of nature may be found in the rivers that run into this sea. When six years old the salmon begin a voyage of death. Ascending the river of their
infancy they race in countless thousands upstream until lack of food and lack of elbow room kill them off. A recent traveler declares that, however many millions of salmon may run up the river, not one ever reaches the sea again alive. What becomes of the rivers of dead salmon? The seagulls wheel down upon the scene and feast upon their eyes, scorning anything less dainty. Bears, wolves, foxes and sledge dogs are mad comf able for the year.

To Tell Horse's Character. It is easy to tell a horse's character by his nose, according to an army officer. If the profile has a gentle curve and at the same time the ears are pointed and sensitive, the animal may be depended on as being gentle and at the same time high-spirited. On the other hand, if the horse has a dent in the middle of his nose it is safe to set him down as treacherous and vicious. A horse with a slight concavity in the profile will be easily scared and needs coaxing, while one that droops his ears is apt to be both lazy and vicious.

Com and Wheat Food. It is a matter of custom rather than of reason that we should use so much wheat and so little corn in our daily ration. Practically all the wheat produced is converted into food for man. It is probable that not one bushel of corn in 50 raised in this country goes upon the table. That is a regrettable anomaly when we consider that two bushels of corn can be produced to every bushel of wheat on a given area and that the national corn crop i3 four times the national wheat crop.

A San Franciscan has discovered a new method of cutting short recitals that promise to become too long-winded. An acquaintance cf his, who has a local reputation as a bore, was one day holding forth at some length when the Callfornian interrupted him with: "By the way, did I ever tell you the story of the oyster?" On receiving a negative reply, he continued: "It seems that when oysters are taken from the sea they often open their shells so that the Juice or liquid runs out. As this is undesirable, the experienced oyster gatherer has a tub of water close at hand into which the
oyster is plunged as soon as It begins to open its shell." "Well, and what then?" asked the other as the narrator paused. The San Franciscan smiled. "Oh, after a while the oyster learns to keep its mouth shut," he remarked quietlv
Smoked in Church. Although the present universal habit of smoking is of comparatively recent date, the use of tobacco was carried to a great excess when it was first Introduced. Our ancestors smoked even in church. All such offenders were solemnly excommunicated by Urban VIII. in 1624. and again by Innocence XII. in 1690, when the practice seems to have extended to Rome itself. There was William Ereedon, too, vicar of Thornton, "a profound divine, and absolutely the most polite person for nativi
ties in that, age," of whom the astrolo
ger Lilly says that "when he had no tobacco he would cut the bell ropes and smoke them."

To preserve cut flowers a small

A Plant Prophet. There has been found recently in Cuba a strange plant which has extraordinary powers in forecasting not only atmospheric, but seismic disturbances. When these are to occur twigs and leaves perform peculiar movements, each having its definite significance. By observing them weather forecasts can be made from two to seven days ahead, and earthquake forecasts as much as 26 days In advance over an area cf 303 square miles. Volcanic eruption and accumulations of fire damp in mines can also be predicted.

A Queer Habit. A New Jersey dog has a most peculiar habit, which U that regularly every Sunday and holiday he fights with, some of his canine friends. Ordinary days he is the most quiet and peaceable dog imaginable, and would no more think of picking a quarrel than of refusing a bone. But always on Sundays and holidays that it is he celebrates. Out he starts spoiling for a fight, tail erect and hair bristling. He never fails to find one, either! WThy he does this no one has ever been able to find out, but there seems to be something in the air on those special days that excites his fighting instinct and he never misses an opportunity.
Scientific Farming. A Scottish laird took his new pl-gr. man to task for the wavering furrows which were the result of his work.
