A WARNING TO THE GOLD SEEKERS
Hardships Sure and Starvation For Many
Almost Certain.

l.. M. Turner, who has spent eleven years
in Alaska and the Arctic regions In the en-
ploy Of the Government, says In IN inter-
view: ut is about time to call halt on this
mad rush to the Klondike gold fields.
Hundreds Of men are going as far Us they
can, relying on others to help them. That
help will be meagre enough and scores will
certainly endure hardships that death
alone will relieve. The transportation
companies cannot possibly accommodate
the number going by way OF St. Michaels.
Tho small river steamers will not afford
room for one-third the number going by tho
route. The provisions will have to be fur
nished by the transportations companies,
at st. Michaels or along the Yukon. and
they will not see Dawson City until next
spring. Many Of those who go by the way
OF Dyea will be compelled to winter at the
headwaters Of the Yukon"

Treasury Said to BE Seriously Embar-
rassed For Ready Money.
The Japanese Government Is seriously
embarrassed financially owing to the rapid
pace at which the nation has been going
since the war with China.
Civilization has necessitated increased
expenditures in every direction, particu-
larly in building railroads, telegraph lines,
new Government buildings, improving
harbors and strengthening the army and
navy.
The treasury was not directly benefited
by the big war indemnity paid by China,
because 1t has been kept ia England to pay
for new war ships and armament. Owing
to the increased expenditures during tho
past year oil the Governments reserve
funds are exhausted.
There Is great need OF rain in Korea, and
the Governor has sent priests to the noun
tains to petition the gods for showers. 1t
is certain large importations OF grain will
be necessary.

SADIE against the Christian Scientists,
who have become SO numerous and
prosperous here that they have just
bought $40, 900 building that Prot

castigation from the pulpit, together
with social ostracism. One minister
Sunday called upon God to ''smite
these bloody slayers of innocent chill

of deception, as crushers out of human
tenderness, as the deadly enemy Of
the Christian church. He denounced
them as offsprings of welded false
hood and atheism and as creeping into
the Christian churches for the purpose
of disorganizing them and gaining
converts.
