A CURIOUS illustration of how rela-
tive values change is shown in the
case of dogs and horses on our north
west coast. In Oregon and Wash
ington ordinary horses are not even
worth killing for their hoofs and
hides. A good dog, however, in the
same localities will bring at least $15,
often twice as much. Going farther
north and west, the horse is still
worthless, while the value Of the dog
rises with every 100 miles of distance
from the coast towns. On the Yukon
river good dog is worth from $10O
to $3.50. All dogs taken to that region
must be acclimated before they can
endure the cold. They haul over the
Chilkoot pass everything used by the
miners-provisions, outfit and all.
Sometimes their owners make buck
skin moccasins to protect the dogs
feet. A horse could not live in the
desolate region where the Alaska
miners are digging gold. The breed
ing of herds Of reindeer, is however,
proceeding rapidly. When they be-
come plentiful, they will be to the
Yankee In Alaska what they have
long been to the Laplander-tood,
clothing and means of transportation.
They were first introduced into Alas
ka by an American missionary among
the Indians there.

"WhOm the Gods Would Destroy
They First Make Mad.'
New York World.

lNeW 1Ork NOrlu.J 'Hy
A warm summer season is coming
on and the Democrats have little. to
doJbpt gather in the weapons their
enemies are so freely supplying them.
1t seems to us that a party never be-
fore marched SO deliberately, to its
own overwhelming overthrow as the
Republicans are now doing.i They
have had q full measure of power
and ample opportunity to use it, but
they have done nothing but tinker
up ridiculous tariff, keep the bust
ness of the country unsettled, and
grind their own particular axes. The
great and crying need of the country,
currency reform3 has not been touch
ed. 5a-r nc
The financial condition of the Union
has not improved q particle, and the
discomfort of the people has increas-
ed, and justly increased. The. great
Republican majorities Of last year
are melting like snow under a sum
mer sun. If Bryan were running
against Mckinley today he would
sweep the country.
Meanwhile the silver sentiment is
steadily widening and strengthening.
This opinion is confirmed by all our
correspondents, and by letters we are
receiving from our subscribers. The
Republicans seem to be blind to the
fast-rising tide of public opinion
against them. Perhaps it is another
exemplification of the truth of the
old proverb that whom gods would
destroy they first make mad.

THEY WILL ORGANIZE.
Silver Republicans Will Formally
Enter the Arena.

CHICAGO, June Sth.-Thirty-two
states were represented at the first
meeting of the provisional committee
of the national silver Republican par
ty which met in executive session at
the Leland hotel to-day. Besides the
committeeman of the various states
represented, over hundred silver
Republicans were present from all
parts of the country.
Promptly at o'clock the meeting
was called to order by ex-Congress-
man Charles A. Towne, of Minnesota.
A resolution was passed admitting
to the meeting the visiting silver Re-
publicans who were not members of
the provisional committee and giving
them all privileges except that Of vot-
ing.
Although nothing has as yet been
fully determined upon, general
plan of organization has been outlined
by the leaders. This plan contem-
plates the appointment of chairmen
of state committees.
At the night session resolutions
were adopted outlining the plan of
action to be pursued by the party and
recommending the appointment of q
national executive committee of sew
en-, which is to have general control
of the conduct Of the party. The
members of the committee will be
named tomorrow.
Charles A. Towne, Of Minnesota,
was elected permanent chairman of
the national committee.

IL the Signal is anything, 1t is a
great big overgrown baby. For two
successive years 1t has accused Supt.
Beck Of furnishing the NORTHWEST
with a program Of commencement
exercises for publication, and slight
ing the Signal. For the information
of those who may possibly be mislead
into believing that the whining Of
the Signal has some foundation, We
state that Prof. Beck did not furnish
the NORTHWEST with a program Of
commencement exercises for publica-
tion, but that on the contrary the
NORTHWEST took the program from
printed copy which was distributed
by the graduates to their friends. II
the Signal did not receive such a
copy, or il it did and was too slow to
take advantage of it and give its read
ers the information it contained, that
is its own lookout. The Signal owes
Prof. Beck an apology, if it can stop
whining long enough to give it. But
the Signal never did take very kind
ly to our common schools.

set the time for the regular county
