IOITAROD CLEAN UP
$3,000(000, MAR8TON 8AYS
M. H. Marston, a partner la the Ot
ter Crook Dredging Company, which
operates In tho Idltarod, is at the
Butler on his way south for the win
ter, says tho Seattle P.-I. Mr. Mars
ton Is a pioneer of '97 and has seen
most of the camps of the North. Mr.
Marston says the season's cleanup at
Idltarod will approximate $3,000,000
this soason, and practically all of It
mined with dredges. Like nearly all
Alaskans, Mr. Marston thinks that
there Is no other country that can
comparo with the North, and says
that he will bo one of tho first ones
in in tho spring. "Thoro is somothlng
about Alaska that gets Into a man's
blood and makes tlm feel a Btranger
anywhere else," he said. "I llguro
like a great many other Alaskans
that when I get a really big stake, I
will leave the North for good, but I
know In my heart that It I had this
year's cleanup of $3,000,000 from the
Idltarod as my own, you would see
me around Scattlo early next spring
buying my steamer ticket north
again." According to Mr. Marston,
tho Idltarod will be a big producer
for years to come, but only with big
companlos. "The day of the small
mining outfit Is done with thero," he
sold. "It takes capital and plenty of
equipment to do anything now."

BOY SCOUTS WOULD HAVE
U. S. MILITARY NATION
In an announcement just received
from E. A. McAlplne, General and
Chief Scout of the Boy Scouts of
America, is made the following state
ment of thevpurpose and aim of the
organization.
"We propose within a few years to
make the United States of America a
military nation; We propose to do
this without compulsory military ser
vice, without the raising and main
taining of a largo standing army: In
fact almost without and notlco being
taken of the fact that the young men
of the nation, from coast to coast,
from Canada to the Gulf, are being
trained in their play to military or na
val tactics; to the maintenance and
sanitation of camps, to marksman
ship, with the rifle, quick firer, and
coast artillery cannon, all under the
same schemo and plan, so that the
different units may all fit into one
harmonious whole. That this can be
done, wo know, for we have tried,
and we already have in tho neighbor
hood of 200,000 boys between the ages
of nine and fifteen years, who are
better soldiers as to drill and mili
tary maneouvers than many of our
suburban military companies. If the
nation should need the young men
for defense, within a few years they
will find a well trained body to de
fend upon. Should their services not
be needed the nation will be better
for from one to five million patriot
ic young men, will have been taught
self control, self respect, honor, and
patriotism, love and respect for the
flag.
"And above all wo are mailing gooa
Americans, many of our boys are the
sonB of foreign-born parents, and
their constant talk and enthusiasm
for the Scout organization and the
American Flag, which these boys car
ry Into their homes, have a wonderful
Americanizing effect upon the parents.
No matter from what, or which an
glo you may choose to look upon It.
tho work of the organization Is a
benefit to the nation and a benefit to
the boy.
"This Is not a sporadic movement,
we are building for all time in the
nation and we ask all thinking Amer
icans to give us their hearty support,
both moral and financial, for the last
ing benefit of their country."
