The Midnight Eide of Paul Severe
The eighteenth day of April, 1775,
should, and does, live in the hearts and
minds of all loyal and true Americans,
ag the real birthday of our country, for
it was on that day that the first shots
were fired against the British at Lex
ington, and throughout the years of
privation and suffering which followed,
that same spirit of the "minute men"
endured up to the very last, when Lord
Cornwallis surrendered his army on the
nineteenth day of October, 1781, and
American Independence was assured.
This fascinating story is magnificently
told in motion pictures at the Standard
Theatre to-night.

YUKON RIVER ONE OF IHE
CREATES! ON CONTINENT
-* i
Fifth Place Among Large Rivers of
North America Flow, Ranges
From to 254,(MH) Cubic'
Fe»t of Water a Second
Washington, Nov. CO. —The Yukon J
river in Alaska is one of the great,
rivers of the North American contin- 1
ent.. A brief report 011 the discharge j
of the Yukon river at tiagle, Alaska, I
by E. A. Porter and K. \Y. Davenport, i
has just been issued bv the United i
States geological survey as water sup- j
ply paper 345-F. Probably few people]
have an adequate conception of the
size of this river and characteristics
of its flow. A. if. Brooks, of the geo
logical survey, gives tho Yukon nt'th
place among the large rivers in North!
America and estimates its drainage j
area at about 330,000 square miles. I
Its length, including the Lewes and]
TesJin rivers, is given in the report as j
3.200 miles. This may be compared
with 6,000 miles for the Mississippi i
and Missouri, 2,56S miles for the,
Mackenzie, 2,000 for the Colorado
combined with Green river, and 1,300
for the Ohio combiued with the Alle
gheny.
The discharge of the Yukon varies
from a maximum of 254,000 to a mini
mum of 10.100 cubic feet a second, or
an estimated average How of 73,204)
cubic feet. This is a relatively small |
discharge, the average flow of the Mis- ;
sissippi being 695,000, that of the
Ohio. 300,000, and that of the Colo- i
rado 23,300 second-feet. The Nile, with !
a drainage area of 1.262,000 square ]
miles, has an average tlow of 116,000 j
cubic feet a second. The flow of the ]
Yukon is therefore relatively small as
related to its drainage area, and this
apparent anojualv is accounted for by]
■thtf fact jtifct tie interior i>f Alaska]
has the small rainfall ''characteristic
of that portion of the United States,
which lies between the Sierra Nevada
and the Rocky mountains, north of the ]
latitude of Salt Lake City.''
Navigation on the Y'ukon has so im- j
port-ant a bearing on transportation ]
in interior Alaska that it has given i
rise to a general recognition of two ]
seasons—the "closed season," when 1
the Yukon is either filled with floating!
ice or frozen over, and the "open sea-'
son." The break-up of tie ice usually'
occurs about the middle of May, after ]
which the river is open to transports-)
tion for five or six months, or a little j
longer. The break-up is not only an •
event of great economic significance to j
the inhabitants in the interior of ]
Alaska, but it presents features oft
great dramatic interest as well. One|
who has witnessed it, according to ]
the authors of the survey report, can ]
hardly imagine the impressiveness of |
the spectacle. From bank to bank the
surface of the river is a solid mass of j
huge moving ice cakes, which are con-1
stantlv grinding and disintegrating I
with an awe-inspiring exhibition of re- j
sistless force.
The freeze-up is less spectacular,
With the increasing cold of the au-!
tumn slush ice forms in the river and 1
as the cold becomes more intense the!
ice increases in volumn until finally j
it is sufficient to bridge the entire,
stream. This means the termination j
of navigation on the Yukon until tbo
following May.
The Geological Survey 'g measure
ments of stream flow near Eagle were
made during the winter at a point
about 2 miles above the town, where j
the river is 1.600 feet wide, by cutting
holes through the ice at intervals of
50 feet and making soundings. In
this way the exposed section of the |
river was determined and the velocity
of the stream at eaoh hole was deter- i
mined by a Price current meter. Dur
ing the period of break-up discharge'
measurements were made by means of
ice floats. Iu the open season the flow
was determined by the same method j
as on any large river.
The maximum discharge measured
in 1911 was on May 22, when the vol
ume was 253,000 second-feet. The
width of the water surface at the
measuring section was 1,643 feet and
the greatest depth of the river was
28.7 feet. The average surface velocity
was 5.8 miles an hour.

tained on application to the director,

To Start a Balky Horse
In "Farm and Fireside" John H.
Cowan tells as follows one way t9 start
a balky horse:
"If you are driving a team and one
horse balks take up the reins and get
on the back of the balky horse. Press
the heels gently into the flanks, speak
a few encouraging words and then say.
'Get up.' as if going to ride. I have
seen this tried many times and have
never seen it fail."
Her Lack of Tact
"Miss Soulsby has not a particle of
tact."'
"What has she done now!" '
"The other evening when Mr. hag
gles. who is notorious for not paving
hjg debts, asked her tossing she went
to the piano and sang 'Trust Him
•Not!' '■ —Pittsburgh Dispatch.

Takes Slap at Wilson ou Tennessee In- j
cident at Smyrna and Also the
Tampico Trouble
By Associated Press.
Boston, Nov. 20. —Criticism of the
[administration's attitude iu connection
I with the recent firing upon a boat from ;
I the cruiser Tennessee in Turkish
[ waters, and with the Tampico incident
in the Mexican troubles, was made last
night by United States Senator Henry
j Cabot Lodge. Speaking before the
Middlesex Club, a Republican organi
sation, the said:
"The administration is content to
; have it appear that the Tennessee was
j fired upon to give warning of mines, but
i you all know what happened at Tam
pico. Then within three days American
! sailors were in Mexican waters and
shedding their blood. And now—now
the incident of the salute seems to
have been forgotten. And the flag was
never saluted.
"All our efforts should have been
devoted to bringing about pacification
in Mexico instead of getting liuerta out
;of office. As it is ao«v, Mexieo is in
the throes of revolution and the two
pets of this administration, Carranza
and Villa, are at each other's throats."
"The party iu power should remem
ber," Mr. Lodge added, "that these
are parlous times. It shou'l inquire
into the state of our defense. The
President says this is an academic ques
tion. This is a fighting world —a fight
ing age. us find out the condition
i of our army and our navy and the state
iof our preparedness. Lict those find
iings be made known to the people and
then let the people say whether the
money should be divested from build
ing southern postoffices to our defense."
