DR. SHELDON JACKSON, the govern
ment agent in Alaska, states that there
are now 600 head in the reindeer herds
of that territory. The domestication
has proved a success and will be likely
TO contribute largely to the develop
ment of Alaska's interior. The rich
mines of the Yukon river are located
500 miles across desolate country.
The only practicable way of getting
supplies across this waste is by the
reindeer. Dog-sleds and Indian car
riers have proved entirely inadequate.
Something favorable will be likely to
be heard in the near future from the
Yukon river mines

which were sent by the Chicago fire
department at noon in response to the
urgent appeal for help, a chemical en-
gine from Joliet and the only engine
which Lemont could send to the scene

change were among the victims of the

apparatus from a run of 80 miles on q
special train.

whole block of the best business places
on Ninth, Tenth, State and Hamilton
streets was burned to the ground,
twenty-five buildings in all. The in
surance is about two-thirds. Two
men were hurt by falling walls Harry
Dosse broke his arm and was badly
bruised and Lowell Sillman was struck
on the head by bricks. Both of them
were firemen.

burning of the schoolhouse, which cost
$4,000. The other large losses are: j..
