WASHINGTON, D. G., Aug l6.-The
Canadian government has submitted
formal proposals to this government to
establish communication with the KleR-
dyke region in Alaska by the construc-
tion OF telegraph line from the head
OF winter navigation on the Lynn ca
nal into the center OF the Kiondyke dis
trict. The proposals have been taken
under adylsement, They have been APP
proved by the British principal secre-
tnry OF state for foreign affairs and
were forwarded by the governor-gener-
al of Canada, through the British en-
bassy, TO the state department and re-
ferred TO the interior department. There
the papers are locked up, pending con-
sIdeEatio9.
The proposals while reserving the
rights OF either country pending the
settlement OF the International boun-
Diary line between the United States and
Canada. south OF Mount 81. Elias, urge
the expediency OF establishing perma-
nent route giving access to the interior
at all seasons OF the year. The most
feasible route. in the judgment of the
Canadian authorities, would be TO start
from the head OF winter navigation on
the Lynn canal Cthe body OF water run
Ming from near Juneau up beyond Dyen
and Chilcat, forming part OF the pres
ent overland route), crossing the noun
tains by White pass. or by any other
pass which may seem more accessible
mud proceed northwacd to Fort Selklrk
and thence to Klondyke.
The Canadian government asserts It's
readiness to undertake 20 open commu-
nicatlon by constructing telegraph
line from the head OF winter navigation
on the Lynn canal, traVersing distance
of eighty miles, across the summit OF
the mountain range from which trail
can be followed 20 Fort Seliilrk and TO
Klondyke. That government also signl-
fees It's intention.in case the propositions
are adopted 10 erect suitable places for
shelter at periods from forty to fifty
miles along the line and to keep ap dog
trains during the winter months for the
conveyance OF the mails to and from

WHAT IS THIS DISEASE CALLED
DYSPEPSIA?

Like a thief at night, II steals In upon
us unawares. The patients have pains
about the chest and sides, and some
times In the back. They feel dull and
sleepy; the mouth has bad taste, espe-
clally in the morning. A sort of sticky
slime collects about the teeth. The APP
petlte Is poor. There Is feeling like a
heavy load on the stomach; sometimes a
faint, all-gone sensation at the pit of
the stomach which food does not satisfy.
Eyes are sunken, the hands and feet be-
come cold and clammy. After while
n cough sets In, at first dry, but after a
few months II IS attended with green
ish colnred cxpectoratlon. The patient
feels tired oil the while. and sleep does
not seem to afford any rest. After n time
he becomes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil forebodlngs.
There is n glddlness, n sort Of whirling
sensation In the head when rising up
suddenly. The bowels hecom cOstive;
thesklnis dry and hot Mt times; the blood
becomes thick and stagnant; the whites
OF the eyes become tinged with yellow;
the urine Is scanty and high cOlored, de-
posting n sediment after standing.
There IL frequently splitting up of the
food sometimes with sour taste and
sometimes with sweetish taste; this Is
frequently attended with palpltntlon Of
the heart: the vision becomes impaired
with spots before the cyca; there Is a
feeling Of great prosirniion and weak
ness. All OF these symptoms are In turn
present. II Is thought that nearly one
third of our population has this disease

Fefts has mysterioasly disappeared
His flying machine with which he was
to have attempted the flight from
Pixies Peak to Colorado Springs is still
housed on top OF the peak. There have
been rumors that Felts was becoming
shaky, which were Offset by statements
from the professor that he was waiting
for n clear day.
Felis went down the mountain side
Friday after stating that he was going
for walk, since which time nothing
has been seen or heard OF him. His
friends say he has probably lost his way
in the wilderness west of the peak and
may have fallen down u precipice and
been killed or injured.
They have been searching for him
since Friday. The majority, however,
are skeptical enough to believe that the
professor had not sufficient faith in his
own invention.
While they acknowledge the condl-
