ime. which you travelled in midwinter,

Going over the same route in spring
time, which you travelled in midwinter,
in your deer sled. you will be surprised
to come occasionally to broad patches, q
mile in extent, beneath the fir trees of
the endless forests, that at a distance
look like acres of English primroses. It
is the fresh, crisp deer moss at,plucked
in winter or in the early frosty morning,
reminds you of nothing SO much as the
chicosy salad you get with your chicken,
or partridge or grouse at the restaurants.
In winter, this moss is covered with hard
snow to depth Of twelve to twenty or
more inches, and then the pow erful hoofs
Of the reindeer are brought into play and
the tender, succulent plant is uusnowed.
In summer the deer are taken by their
owners away up into the mountains,
where they live pleasant existence for
a few months, beng called upon only to
supply milk for the younger generation
of Jakuts, skins for their winter dresses
and food to be kept frozen during the
long winter.
Reindeer are summer nomads, and they
are the ones who compel their Jakut
owners to nomadic life, since they
must always have fresh pastures of their
favorite moss. Then they are called
upon to assist the Jakut family in NOV
ing, and when moving day comes they
are laden with little pack-saddles, each
carrying forty or fifty pounds weight of
the family belongings, and the skins and
slender birches from which the huts are
built, while the larger ones are saddied
for the elder members of the family, who
are as slender of limb and slight of struc-
ture as the reindeer themselves, and q
few of the trusted members of the herd,

animals into the northwestern corner of
the continent, Alaska. Last year, says
the New York Recorder, sixteen deer
were brought from the eastern coast of
Siberia and transported in the Bear to
Amakuk and Ounalaska, and this year
one hundred and eighty more have been
brought over to the Port Clarence corral
by Siberian herders, who will teach the
native Alaskans how to take care of the
new inportations. I. is hoped that the
reindeer colony will prove great sue
cess, and that DR.. Sheldon Jackson's
forethought in urging the bringing over
of the graceful immigrants will meet
with the reward he anticipates.
The benefits the reindeer are. expected
to bring to Alaska are countless. They
will furnish an inexhaustible food sup
ply. They will be Of great advantage
in the matter of transportation, in draw
ing sleds to places now almost inaccessi-
BILE in winter, taking the place of dogs
which on long journeys have to carry 90
much TODD along with them that there is
SO very little room for other things.
As an official Washington report, says:
"The introduction of the reindeer
will give new means of transportation
that even the poor natives can enjoy,
since after proper multiplication Of the
herd its distribution among them will no
doubt take place. Finally, the reindeer
furnishes clothing to the dwellers in
Arctic regions. As Captain Healy put
it, clothing of reindeer skin has been
found the beet and only kind to with
stand the intense and continued cold of
the country. These skins are now
bartered at high price from the natives
of the Siberian coast Thus the three
most important of the prime necessities
of the natives are combined in this ami.
NAL now introduced.
"Of course" the report goes on to
say, ''there is some doubt how far the
domestication will prove asuccess. But

source of food, which is the natural

deer rode little Tonguese boy of ten OF
twelve. clad in deerskins, his little fun
cap hiding all but his eyes. The five
following deer bore little pack saddles,
on which were fastened the goods and
utensils of Yskut household. Then
came the next group, of six animals,
similarly laden, but from one Of the bur
dens of a eulet-going animal ] heard
cries that could not be mistaken.
The double.pack saddle arrangements
were fashioned like very large pair Of
canvas. covered pistol hostlers, and the
cries issuing from them indicated that
these arrangements held the Yakut baby
and the next youngest member Of the
family, the former, doubtless, carefully
packed in his cradle and kept warm With
hay and deerskins or furs. The remain
ing animals of the group. bore each 9
small burden of household furniture.
Then followed the third group. On the
leader rode the Tonguse mother, clad in
deerskin trousers and coat and fur cap,
her limbs dangling down on either side
of the animals neck, while she kept her
equilibrium skillfully on the little saddle
placed on the shoulders OF the deer,
The rear was brought up BY the Ton

But some rude treatment fell to the
lot OF the poor fellow which ], unfortu-a
nately, could not prevent. My Cossack
demanded that he should leave his FAM
lily, and return with us and show us the s
way to Betygl. This he refused at first
to do, whereupon the Cossack compelled
him to turn, and, mounted on his deer,
to lead us on our way. Having been
placed in the care of the Cossack, who
understood his business well, I thought Y
it best to let things go on ashe arranged,
and + think that in the end both ] and
the Tonguse father were thankful. We
had still fifteen Yersts Of forest and deep
snow to get through, and under our new
guide this was accomplished in splendid
style.

journey in good temper, his deer trottedl

CHAPTER XXI.

The absolute confidence which Sher-
wood Elliston repesed in his wife and his
nephew, after the latter's marriage with
Flora Leland. had doubtless allowed them
to dispense with much Of the mystery and
adventure of their intrigue; but that which
was ardent, poetic, and theatrical to Cora's
lima gination had not been lost.
Love alone was not sufficient for her.
She needed danger, scenic effect and
pleasure, heightened by terror. Once OF
twice in the early time, she was reckless
enough to leave her home during the night
and to return before day. But she was
obliged to renounce these audacious
flights, finding them too perilous.
These nocturnal interviews with Eu-
gene were not very frequent, and she had
usually received him at home.
This was their arranQ ement:
There was m entrance to the garden
from q side street. This entrance was
through an archway in the stable build
ing. The room over the archway was oc-
cupied by the head coachman, middle
aged man, who fully enjoyed his masters
confidence. Indeed, 30 thoroughly did
the Senator trust him, that he often sent
him to distant places TO execute commis-
sions for him.
1t was the time of these absences that
Cora Elliston and Eugene Cleveland
chose tor their dangerous interviews at
night.
Eugene, apprised from within by some
understood signal, entered the inclosure
.-~'- ~ the sta bles through the archwav.
and thence crossed the garden, ana so
reached the Iear Of the mansion.
Cora always charged herself with the
peril that charmed her-with keeping
open one of the lower windows. The
ordinary custom Of lodging the domestlcs
in the upper story gave to this hardihood
sort of security, notwithstanding its
being always hazardous.
On moonless night, at this period OF
our story, one of these occasions, always
impatiently awaited on both sides, pre-
sented itself, and Eugene at midnight
penetrated into the Elliston garden.
At the moment when he turned the key
in tho door Of the archway he thought he
heard slight sound behind him.
He turned, cast rapid glance over the
dark space that surrounded him, and
thinking himself mistaken, entered.
An instant after the shadow Of man
appeared at the angle Of pile of lumber.

The Boston and Montana,

A week or more ago the Boston and
Montana company closed down the up
per smelter and has now begun to pha-
lanN its miners, the first draft on them
being made on Saturday evening, when
sixteen were laid off at the Mountain
View mine. The reason for this is ap-
parent. By the closing down of the
works the demand for ore is not so great
by $50 tons per day, and there is there
fore no room in the mine for the large
number of men the company has been
employing, As to the rumor that all the
men working in the lower levels Of the
Butte and Boston properties We're to be
laid off, those in a position to know char
acteriZe it as absurd and wonder wher e
it originated. The Butte and Boston is
moving along in the even tenor OF its
way and will continue to extract ore
enough to keep the smelter turning out
its full measure Of copper and silver.

From the Great Lakes to the Hudson,
WASHINGTON, Dec. l0.-Representa-
tatiyes Lind Of Minnesota and Chapman
Of Michigan have joined hands on a
move, which, if accomplished, will be
OF great interest to the Northwest. In
the last house Mr.. Bently, Of New York,
introduced bill appropriating $500, 900
for complete survey and examination
Of the best route to connect the Great
Lakes with the Hudson river, either by a
direct route from Lake Erie or a canal
around Niagara and canal from Os-
wego. The agitation which Secretary
Thompson, of the Duluth chamber of
commerce, is making has had the effect
already Of stirring up congressman who
live in states to be benefited, and they
are heartily in favor Of a meeting of
deey waterway men in this city as has
been proposed. 1t is believed that such
a meeting will bring men enough here
to influence congress in passing the bill.
Mr.. Chapman is confident of getting the
bill through.

The Cll;tnlpiOll.

The Champion mill was closed down
last Tuesday evening. From a gentle
man well posted in the affairs of the
company the New NORTHWEST learns
that the shutdown is indefinite, as all
the pay ore on the dump has been
worked up and operations at the mine
have been suspended with the exception
of work on the tunnel, which is being
pushed as rapidly as possible.
1t is rumored that the mill will be re-
moved to the mine, distance of sixteen
miles, in the early spring. This rumor,
however, lacks confirmation, and it is
probable that a new mill will be erected
at the mine and the mill at this place be
used entirely for custom work.

WAS POISON USED?
Reported Conspiracy to Kill Homestead
--= a Non-Union Men.

RNported Conspiracy to Kill Homestead
Non-Union Men.
P1TTsBURG, Dec. 1l.-A Sunday paper
published startling story of con-
spiracy to poison by wholesale the non.
union men at Carnegie's Steel plant at
Homestead and as result it is alleged
several persons lost their lives while
scores of others are suffering from the
effects of the poisonous drug Devel,
opments, it is said, impicats members
Of the advisory committee, mem bers OF
the Amalgamated association and Of
hcers of other labor organizations SYM
pathizing with the locked out men {
Homestead Nine or mora persons are
now under arrest, ostensibly on less
serious charges but really for the pur
pose of avertlng suspicion until others
in the alleged conspiracy could be ap
pretended. The only nams given is
Robert Beatty, who was arrested
at Louisville. 1t is stated
that the chief cook inside
the Homestead mills confessed to hay
ing placed poison in the food prepared
for non-union men, that he did SO at the
inslgation of the strikers committees
and that he was also under pay from
them as well as from the Carnegie COM
pany. If he caused deaths and sickness
sufficient to frighten the non union men
from the mill and compel Its closing he
said he was to receive So 900 Two
cooks whom he engaged in his plot it is
stated became frightened and informed
Mr.. Frick Of the crime. This led to the
arrest of the chief cook, and as stated
above, he made full confession Dur
ing the time the meals were prepared
inside number Of the men became
sick and Charles CLOSER died two
weeks after going to Homestead Mr..
Frick positively refused to be inter
viewed on the subject.
E l. Beck, counsel for the Carnegie
company. was seen and confirmed the
story OF the poisoning. He says his in
formation is that at least SIX died from
the poisoning. A prominent druggist
and physician are implicated The
food was given to dog and it died in a
few minutes. Developments will prob.
ably be made in few days.
The coroner has not been notified. He
will go to Homestead to investigate the
cause of the death of Isaac Juries, who
died suddenly about two weeks ago
Jnries was witness on the Critohelow
case. The coroner is of the opinion
that death was due to alcoholism.
No Evidence of Poison.
PlTTsBURG, Dec. 11.-Superintenden
Cowan, of the West Pennsylvania hos
pital, said that about FIVE or six cases
from Homestead were received from
Homestead but they were of men in
jured in the mills or victims of diseases
resulting from natural causes. 1--WE
have no cases. he said, "where there
were indications of poison" DR..
Shields said there was no evidence Of
poison in any cases received at his in
stitution during the Homestead trouble.

Homestead Poison Story.
PITTsBURG, Dec. 12.-With the exoep-
ton of those directly interested in the
prosecution of the ex-strikers of Home
stead, few persons can be found who
credit the story that non union men
were poisoned by locked out men and
others. Amalgamated officials, ex-em-
ployes of the Carnegie Steel company
and people generally, ridicule the story
They say that even though it be true,
as alleged, that Beatty and certain other
individuals were parties to scheme to
poison non-union workmen, it is absurd
to suppose that any prominent Home
stead strikers, business men or mem
bers of the famous advisory committee,
would permit himself to be drawn into
such a villianous plot to take human
life

The Effects of Political Spite Work,

One of the Boston and Montana smelt-
ers has already closed down and the
remaining one will follow suit in the
early spring. This will throw out of
employment over eight hundred men
and the merchants ana the working men
of the city will be the principal losers.
By passing an ordinance compelling
smelter owners to erect 50Ofoot stacks,
without first ascertaining by experiment
whether they will be successful or not,
the other smelling companies will also
be forced to seek other points where
political spite work is not quite so ram
pant as here. What with the low price
Of silver and the political ghouls' desire
for revenge upon the managers Of our
chiefest industry. Butte is indeed in a
sorry plight.-Butte People.
