This is all that we'd like to give out

depot, and intend to give Wheeling one
worthy the name. We get lots of busl-
ness from Wheeling and appreciate the
fact. The mission of the Baltimore &
Ohio officials to Wheeling now is not on
the depot project. for that is settled.
You may say that the new depot Is
progressing nicely"

there is that rumor about the Terminal

bearing on the point under discussion.

, tingly explains this when he says that
| President Alfonso has sent him here partly
| to study our railroad system, but moro es-
| pecially to interest some of our capitalists
| in the mineral and other resources Of b.
livia.
In appearance Senior Paz Is a typical
Spaniard, tall, swarthy and vigorous. He
ia 40 years old and has family consisting
of a charming wife and five children. Sc
nora Paz and her children are in Paris
now, but will join the new minister In the
! fall and settle down IL W"siii.: ItOn. Sc
nor Paz is a native of Bolivia and was
educated ut Sucro, the capital city Of the
country. He took the degree of doctor Of
laws at the university, but had hardly be-
gun the practice Of his profession when he
entered upon political career which has
been most brilliant one. After holding
various minor offices he was elected men,
Der of the national senate and has served
as member of the cabinet
Much of his time, however, has been
spent in the diplomatic service and in va
rious capacities he has represented Bolivia
In several South American capitals and ut
a number of European courts This, how
ever, is his first visit to the United States.
After being presented to President Nc
Kinley and making very neat speech he
decided to travel about the country for the
rest Of thu summer and fall.
1t is quite likely, too, that Senior Paz
will mako an attempt to corner some Of
our capitalists and induce them to invest
some of their millions in Bolivia. He has
already said some very nice things about
the United States, but he Is also very en-
thusiastic about his own country. He
says that Bolivia has today more gold and
silver in her mines than have ever been
taken out, and that, besides this, she has
wealth of rubber forests which have only
to be developed to produce big fortunes.
He says that under the recently enacted
forestry laws any man can obtain posses
sion of a rubber grove by simply stalking
it out and fling his claim as he would to
a gold mine. He thinks there is q better
chance for Americans in Bolivia than on
the Klondike.

TRAMPING in SNOW.
SOMETHING ABOUT THE DIFFICULT.
TIES OF SNOWSHOE TRAVEL.

Different sorts of Shoes Required In vsri-
Gus Countries-The Best Kind For Alaska.
Infornstion of Value to Prospective
Gold seekers. ..S5".
A lot of men who are now talking
jauntily about going into the Klondike
region in the spring have hozy idea that
part Of the journey must be made on
snowshoes And how many Of them, do
you suppose, know what 1t is to walk all
day through deep mountain snowf Prob
obly not one out Of ten, for it is only in a
very limited portion OF our country that
snowshoeing Is indnlged In to any extent.
The average man, in fact, has never had a
pair Of snowshoes on his feet. He knows
what they are, for no has seen them hung
up In the windows Of the sporting goods
stores. Probably he imagines, however,
that once he got the things on his feet he
would he aide to slide along in some MI
raculous manner with the greatest of ease
Lots of people who have since learned
better have made this mistake AS mat
ter Of fact, nothing will make man feel
more helpless or more clumsy than to
strap to his unaccustoECd f.at a pair of
snowshoes and set him adrift in field of
deep snow. Learning to ride a bicycle is
dull advertisement in comparison. You
feel all right until you attempt to lift one
foot. Then all your sense of security van
ishes and you begin to doubt whether you
ever really did possess even faint idea Of
equilibrium. The tendency to Immediately
walk "pigeon tocd" is shade stronger, If
anything, than that which prompts the
unskilled bicyclist to run into instead of
around every obstruction.
But the amateur snowshoer has one ad-
vantage-~when he does take a tumble,
which Is usually after the third step, he
falls barmlessly into the soft snow and
breaks no bones. He stays there, however,
until 10 is pulled ont, for it takes an ex.
pert 10 get himself into standing position
after having once fallen.
You can Imagine, then, some of the
things which the would be prospector now
glibly talks about as "bardships Of the
trip to be expected, you know" but use
snowshoes he must, If he expects to get
over the dreaded Chilkat pass and hun
dreds of intervening miles, for the trail
will be covered with dozen feet or more
of soft, yielding substance, through which

EQUIPPED FOR PEDESTRiANIsM IN ALASKA.
a man can neither swim nor wade. There
fore it would be first rate scheme for the
men who expect to start for Klondike next
spring to prepare themselves to meet this
detail Of the journey at least As soon as
the first snow falls they can begin prac-
tioing, and when they get as far as Dyea
next March they will be better equipped
than II they had it all to learn.
But even the man who has done little
learn before he glides over the Alaskan
wilds with any great degree Of comfort.
He Is likely to discover that there are
snowshoes and snowshoes, and that the
kind which he has been accustomed to use,
and perhaps with which he has equipped
himself, will not do at all for the work be-
fore him. Each region has its own kind
OF snowshoe, which seems perfectly adapt
ed to the climatic conditions. The Norwe-
gian ski. for instance, cannot be used at all
in many sections of North America, while
in Norway the inhabitants could not get
along without It.
In many parts Of Canada and in tho
eastern portions Of the United States the
trappers and lumbermen wear snowshoe
Of broad, oval shape, some feet long and
about Is inches wide at the widest part.
The webbing Is fine and close, and is
adapted to use on fine. cold, dry snow, not
often affected by thaws. In what is called
the Montreal model the toes are slightly
turned up, to prevent tripping on twigs Or
other distractions. The racing shoes used
by the Canadian clubs are longer and mar
rover than those of the trapper, who must
sacrifice speed in order that he may have
something which will bear up his own
weight and that of his pack.
In the Adirondaoks the guides and hunt
ers sometimes use queer looking snow
shoe which is called, and very appropri-
ately, bear paw. 1t Is nearly round and
not more than 20 inches at it's longest
diameter. The web Is very coarse, SO that
when travelling after a thaw the snow
which Is forced through the meshes may
fall back again when the shoe Is lifted.
In the Rocky mountains, where you
must go either up hill or down, the Nor
wesian skis have been used With good re-
suits. The Cree Indians and other tribes
Of the far northern states use a peculiar
looking snowshoe which has the toe turn
ed up for over a foot; The shoes are very
narrow and often more than six feet In
length, being The longest ip ,pss In this
country. ThiS Is called The Alaska model,
