Mr.. Hamilton has been foreman for
the past three years of the Yes Bay
Canning Company, and is thoroughly
familiar with the great mining re-
sources of Alaska. Mr.. Hamilton
thinks there is great future in store
for Alaska II John Bull does not de-
YOUR it. He brought with him some
very rich specimens of quartz, which
have been pronounced by experts to be
very valuable. He also brought n any
curios, which are very rare aud inter-

season has been very satisfactory.

A arewsome Spectacle. m

A Portland bill collector was over to
Vancouver the other day, and Tele-
gram reporter overheard him telling a
friend what he saw there. He said:
sit was coffin strapped on a bicycle,
and it was being taken to the country,
evidently, for the rider had the appear
ance Of being dressed for long, hard
ride. It was strange combination.
The coffin was strapped across the ham
dle-bars and over the front wheel. The
big black vanished box almost hid
the rider whose head just appeared
over the lid. To add to this grewsome
spectacle, which reminded me forcibly
of q mince-pie nightmare, the rider
wore black cap drawn down well on
his head. His face was thin ard white
and for moment I thought it was a
transformed vision of an end-of-the-
century Silent Reaper. He was minus
his sand-glass and scythe-not to mem
tion his whiskers-and to me the start
ling spectacle seemed as if it were
some horrible octopus looking for a
victim for the grave"

Still Burning Hay.

The mania for burning sheepmen's
hay in the vicinity of Mitchell shows
no signs of abating as is shown by the
following taken from the Mitchell
Monitor Of the Sth:
SON the eve of going to press, we
are in receipt of news of the wholesale
burning OF hay in the country tribu-
tary to Mitchell. On Wednesday
night last Mr.. Tom Stephenson's g
stacks, over on Beaver creek were de-
stroyed, and on the same night the
torch was applied to the stack yards OF
Frank Hereford and II. Shoemaker,
on West Branch. We have not heard
any details in regard to the matter,
but enough is known to say that a
fiend or fends are abroad in the land
who richly deserve hanging. The ex-
citement among the sheepmen is now
at high tension, and every effort will
be made to ferret out the fire hug or
bugs, and If successful in finding them,
the subsequent proceedings will inter
est them no more"

The completion of the Owyhee ditch
in Eastern Oregon marks one of the
largest irrigation enterprises in that

acres of land are reclaimed by it.
Work on the ditch invited settlers.

GROWTH OF PENSIONS.
More Than One Million Names on the
List.

The growth of the pension list during
the past decade has been enormous,
and this country now has the distinc-
tion of providing for larger number
of military pensioners than any other
country in the world at any time since
the records of governments first began
to be kept. Since dealing with pen
sions and pensioners has been factor
in the politics of the nation for the
past thirty years, study of the figures
showing the growth of the roll since
1865 is not uninteresting.
In 1865 the rolls contained only S5,'
9S6 names; in 1875 there had been an
increase to 234, ,s21, with further in
crease to 345, ,125 in 1885. Since the
latter year the increase has almost
exactly trippled. The increase took
place chiefly under the first administra
tion of Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Harri
son. At the close of the fiscal year ot
1888 there were 452,577 names on the
roll-an increase of 129, 1921 during the
four years since 1884. At the close Of
1892 there were s76,06s-a further in.
crease in four years of 423, ,491 names.
The increase between 1884 and 1885
had doubled the increase of the pre-.
ceding term, up to that time the high
est record made. In the four years OF
the Harrison term it was not the in
crease but the total that was doubled.
Since the close of the fiscal year 1892
there has been an increase from $780,
06s names to 1,012,935. This latter
figure is probably the high water mark,
as the names dropped from the rolls
during the past year because of deaths
and for other reasons brought the
total down to 970,524-a net gain of
$50 for the year.

Preserving Fruit in Bora1.

Mr.. F. M. Smith, of Oakland, CAL,
believes he has discovered means for
preserving fresh fruit that will prove a
great success. He tried the expert
ment with some cherries, and the re-
suit was so satisfactory that car of
cherries was packed in borax and
shipped to Chicago, where they were
disposed of at high prices owing to
their good condition.
"There is no patent on this discov-
ery," said Mr.. Smith in an interview.
SIT is free to all. 1 regard it of the
utmost value in the working out of the
problem of domestic economy. The
same borax can be used over and over
again, and great amount Of unneces-
sary waste will be avoided by preserv-
ing fruit in this way. Private fami-
lies, as well as hotels and restaurants,
can have their borax bins at small ex-
pense, in which they can constantly
keep an assortment of fresh fruit"

A Civilized Indian.

What might well be called a civil
lied Indian was enjoying himself
under the Regulator dock Tues.
ing. He was comfortably seated in a
boat which had been drawn up unde
the dock to protect him from the ele-
ments, and was perfectly oblivious to
all sorrows occasioned by the advent
of the white man or the fall of his
race. He had evidently emulated the
example of his white brother too
freely, having drunk deeply the
draughts of some soul-cheering fluid,
for the treasured bottle was clenched
firmly in his hand. He was dead
drunk-civilized we might say.

are permitted to make this extract: 81
have no hesitation in recommending
DR.. Kings New Discovery, as the re-
suits were almost marvellous in the
case of nv wife. While was pastor
of the Baptist church at Rives juno
tion she was brought down with pneu-
monia succeeding la grippe. Terrible
paroxysms of coughing would last
hours with little interruption and it
seemed as if she could not survive
them. A, friend recommended DIR.
Kings New Discovery; it was quick in
it's work and highly satisfactory in re-
suits" Trial bottles free at Blakeley

feet in width and three in depth, and
paid 5000 a day to the map. The claim
is being worked this year for the
