miss it. Orders given TO the carrier or left at

NO EXTRA CHARGE. Fifty cents per month

The Sultan will talk it out on his own
line # it takes all summer.
We are getting this year the best crop OF
trade prosperity that was ever harvested
at midsummer.
The Valley road is preparing for rush.
1t has named a station Klondyke and
opened it up for business.
The death of Miss Barrett has ceased to
be mystery to the Bostonians, and they
now speak of it as physiological study.
The all-land route to the Yukon may
look we'll from Canadian point of view,
but it will be all day with the man who
tries it.
The rate of the proposed tax levy rem
ders it unnecess ary to say there will be no
rush for the Klondyke from the vicinity
of the City Hall.
1t is safe predic ion that more wealth
will be carried into the Yukon country in
the next two years than will be taken out
of it in the same time
Boston scorned the Dancing Bacchante,
but the outbreak of a bacchanai riot on
Wednesday night shows that good many
of her people are ever ready to follow the
dance.
The high board fence continues to con-
ceal from the public the work being done
on the Hall of Justice, and it looks as if
none of it would be in sight for year to
come.
In some of the fruit districts of the
State it appears the problem of the unem-
ployed has resolved itself into question
of how to get men to take the work that
Is offered them.
An attempt to enforce the royalty tax
on the miners of the Yukon may cost
Canada great deal more than it is worth,
and now is the time for her to take
second thought.
Public opinion on this coast is rapidly
reaching the conclusion that when Score
tary Gage made Dyea a SUPPORT of entry
he was affected by the gold excitement
and slightly overdid the thing.
Even a gold breeze does not blow good
for verybody, Tor it appears the rush for
the Klonoyke has left the fish industry in
the north without men to do the work,
and the Gamers are tearing their hair.
There is no rest for TilIman this sum-
mer. He has been compelled to take the
stump in South Carolina to canvass for re-
election to the Senate, and he is sweating
over it like a man tending a thrashing
machine.
The Alaskan gold cure is a tonic that
puts vigor into the limbs of old men,
courage into the blood of the timid and
hope into the hearts of the respondent.
As a stimulus 10 energy it beats any
thing on the market
An Eastern arIthm tician figures out
that there is a fortune in Alaska for one
prospector in every six, and as that ratio
is great deal better than the chances in
the East it is not strange the people are
coming West in a rush.
The report of Justice Fields retirement
from the Supreme Court has become peri
odlcal and appears regularly every sum-
mer. By and by the Justice may retire
and then about 1900, 600 people will have
the pleasure of saying 81 told you So"
Now that Weyler is reduced to the
necessity of making his trips from one
seaport in Cuba to another by water in
stead of by land, it is evident he has lost
his hold on the island, and eventually
Will have TO take water altogether and
strike out for Spain.
Day after day the reports of fatal sun
strokes in the East remind US of the wis
dom of leaving that section of the coun-
try, and by and by reports of persons per-
ishing amid the SHOWS of Alaska will re-
mind US of the wisdom of staying where
we are and travelling no further.
Owing to the large importation of goods
during the closing days OF the Wilson
tariff, but little revenue was expected
from the new law at the start. II Is there
fore gratifying to learn that it is yielding
a larger income than was looked for. As
soon as the imported goods are out of the
way the Dingley tariff will show itself. 10
be revenue raiser of the first n magnitude.
A considerable racket has been occa-
stoned in New York by the discovery that
