The transportation companies of
the north have done sensible thing
by collecting some statistics of travel
toward Klondike this year-fgures
which will help them to guage the
travel they must prepare for next
year. From Puget sound ports I,24S
persons took passage for St. Michaels
and 1923 went to Wrangel, juneau.
Skaguay and Dyea, between July 18th
and September 18th. During this pe-
Rod 10000 tons of freight were ship
ped to st. Michaels and about $4,000
to four ports in Southeastern Alaska.
This includes business done at British
Columbian ports In addition to the
large passenger and freight list, 1850
mules and horses were shipped north,
l ,l6l head of beef and other cattle. as
we'll as 1000 dogs. The great MAORI
ty of all who started for Klondike this
year fell short. Practically none cot
to Dawson by the river route, and not
more than $500 arrived by the trails
and the lakes. Next year may see 80
GOO or 10000 people going to the Al
askan mines.-Olympian.

The Enormous Grain Crop.

The grain movement for the pres
ent season clearly indicates The enor-
nifty of the Pacific Northwest crop.
All reports from the interior indicate
that wheat is being held strongly for
higher prices. The-warehousess are
all filled to their utmest capacity.
Other unused buildings have been
crowded into service, and at great
many points platforms are not only
stacked up to overlooking, but thous-
ands of sacks o. grain have been stor-
ed in specially constructed sheds, with
improvised sheltering of boards for
protection from the rains. Nothwith-
standing these evidences that tie MA
lOrity of growers hold for future Gcrel-
opments in the market, the receipts
at inspection points have been far
above the normal. September re-
ceipts at Tacoma reached 1920 cars,
breaking the record for any month
since inspect on was inaugurated, but
for October the receipts we're 1922 cars
here, and to date the amount coming
in is upwards of 100000 bushels, OF
less than million bushels below the
entire wheat crop movement last year
Though October, last year, was by far
the most active months in wheat re-
ceipts of the season, the gain this sea-
son has been large, while September
receipts were over four times those OF
September a year ago. During the
me nth just past, there were inspected
at Tacoma 1922 cars of wheat, 10 cars
oats, | rye and 4 barley. At Seattle
666 cars of wheat, 9 oats, 81 barley
and 10 corn. At Spokane 234 cars
wheat. Last October, Tacoma, 1915
cars wheat, 1O6 oats, 4 barley; Seattle
355 cars wheat, IS oats and 10 barley
Spokane, 327 cars wheat oats and
barley. Exporters have not followed
the policy of holding grain long il
storage at terminal points, but have
put it ahoat with marked celebrity. Tt
date seventeen cargoes of wheat have
gone foreign, carrying a total OF 1,
1860 centals, only little over 800,
600 centals less than all clearances las
year, and the prospects are that ship
ments will go close to the 4,000,O0(

Tammany's Horde Of Pension ers.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The Herald
says: "More than $4,000 persons will
directly or indirectly draw pay from
the city in the first administration OF
the mayor of Greater New York. The
salaries of $4,000 OF those, whose names
will be actually on the city's pay roll
will aggregate $33,OOO,OOO. Part of
this amount represents the salaries
and patronage of the other officers
elected on Tuesday, but this is COM
paratively small, most of the total rep
resenting the patronage of Greater
New York's first mayor, Robert A.
Van Wyck.~
"a conservative estimate of those
who will draw payment indirectly
from the city through city contracts
and the like, Is $4,000. Mayor Strong,
at the time the greater city charter
was passed, estimated this force as
equal to, II not exceeding the actual
number Of all Office holders.
Second only to the president of the
I United States in the value of his pat
ronage, the first mayor of the greater
city is first in the significance of this
patronage. With his colleagues-elect,
OF the same political party as himself.
Mr.. Van Wyck can lead an army of
officeholders, and those indirectly en-
ployed by the city, as great as the
Army of the Potomac"

A lively time occurred on the electric car
on the Lakeside railway which left Mahanoy
City at 1920 o'clock last night. Among the
passengers were two intoxicated men, one
hailing from Shenandoah and the other from
Yatesville. After the car had passed Kaier's
crossing one of the men pulled a whisky
bottle out of his pocket and asked his partner
to have a drink The conductor seeing this
objected to the proceedings as many ladies
were on board. war of words ensued
followed by the ejectment Of the man from
Yatesville.. As the car started out no trace
Of the Yatesville man could be seen, and it
was stopped again, as it was feared by the
crew he might have landed under the car.
He loomed up suddenly, however, with two
large stones in either hand making the pas
sengers drop to the floor for safety. After
another tussle with the man the car managed
to proceed.
