Is 1T CURABLE
A Question Often Asked by Those Amicted
With Piles


Is strained joint durable? Is local In
fammation durable? Of course, if prop
erly treated. So is piles.
People often become afflicted with piles
and ask some old Chronic who has al
WAYS persisted in the wrong treatment
and naturally he discourages them by
telling them that their case is hopeless.
They in turn discourage others, and
thus disease that can in every case be
cured by careful and skillful handling is
allowed to sap the energy of thousands
who might free themselves of the trouble
in few days.

aggravated case of hemorrnoids in an
astonishingly short time. 1t relieves the
congested parts, reduces the tumors in

Thousands who had resorted to ex-
pensive surgical treatment have been

spent months in a hospital under pile
specialist.

apply even to the most aggravated,
swollen and inflamed hemorrhoidal

test over this question has been pIo;ract-
ed and has aroused considerable feeling
in Peru. The clericals have fought the
measure since its inception. The bill it
self was cnampioned by the government,
and was passed by the house of deputies
at the last session Of congress, and the
long struggle ended in the victory FOR fne

Supplies are purchased chiefly
in California and carried from
there to st. Michaels.
The Yukon is navigable for a
250-ton steamer for a distance OF
1000 miles.
At distance of 600 miles from
the ocean the Yukon river is
more than a mile wide.
The Klondyke mining region
is in the latitude of Iceland and
lower Greenland.
The longitude of st. Michaels
is farther west than that of Hon

Although it is pleasure to us
to review, in this brief manner,
as we have, the many and diver
sified representations our Utah
friends have so skillfully dis
played before our eyes we are
almost painfully cognizant of the
fact that we have not told you of
all the great number of floats
and carriages that passed before
our eyes to please and instruct,
nor of any of them as fully as we
could wish. The notable per-
sons we have not attempted to
enumerate. 1t was their work
not men or women-we have
sought to describe. Notable
persons reside in all our Ameri-
can States; but, such a notable
display as this, in no place but
Utah. We should judge that
this was in length somewhere
between a four and five mile pro-
cession, which amused, instruct
ed, cheered and dazzled all those
who attended its presentations.

The first discovery of gold on
the Klondyke was made in the
middle of August, 1896, by Geo.
Cormack.
The only way into and out of
the Klondyke in winter is by the
way of Juneau.
The steamer which leaves St.
Michaels now will reach the
Klondyke in September.
The only way to live is to i'm
initiate the Indians in dress and
habits.
1t is useless to wear leather or
gum boots. Good moccasins are
absolutely necessary.
The colder it is the better trav-
cling. When it is very cold there
is no wind, and the wind is hard
to bear.
Indian guides are necessary to
go ahead of the dogs and pre-
pare camp for night
In the summer the sun rises
early and sets late, and there
are only few hours when it is
not shining directly on Alaska.
In the winter the sun shines
for a short time only each day.
1t is 1896 miles from ST. Mich
aels to Dawson City.
In summer the weather is warm
and tent life is comfortable.
The winter lasts nine months.
There are two routes by which
to reach Dawson City. One by
ST. Michaels island and the 9th.
er via. Juneau.
By steamer it costs $3.50 to 90
from coast points to Dawson
City.
Dogs are worth their weight
in gold. A good long haired
dog sells from $3.50 to 5000.
Skates might be used to adj
vantage at times.
The Yukon river is closed by
ice from November to the latter
part of May.
On the Klondyke the Their.
mometer goes as low as go deg.
rees below zero.
There is a great variety of
berries to be found all through
the country in summer
Game is very scarce.
Vegetables of the harder sort
can be raised.
Stock can be kept by using
care in providing abundantly
with feed by ensilage or curing
natural grass hay and by hous.
ing them in winter.
In summer abundance of fine
grass can be found near the
rivers.
In appearance the natives are
like the North American Ind.
dians, only more 1.-THE and active,
with very small feet and hands.
They live in temporary camps,
both winter and summer, either
in the mountains or on the riv.
ers, according to the game they
are hunting.
Gold was first discovered in
the vicinity of Sitka by Frank
Mahoney, Edward Doyle and
William Dunlap in 1873.
OF the seven trading stations
in the Yukon district, five are
located upon the river bank.
The first American traders tc
engage in the Yukon trade were
the members of the Western
Union Telegraph expedition.

A Kansan abroad recently
found a crowd that did not seem
to appreciate his conversation
concerning the conspiracy of the
foreign capitalists to compel the
populists farmers of Kansas to
pay their honest debts, so he
pulled out his stock of tornado
stories, hoping to attract atten-
ton, says the Kansas Times.
II saw cyclone" said he,
"that picked up a straw stack
and moved it a mile and put it
back, straw on straw, as it was. "
Two or three of the auditors
yawned and the Kansas man tried
it again
Another time" said he, 81
saw a twister suck sixty gallons
of molasses out of a barrel in
front of a grocery store and dis
tribute it to every family in the
town who had a bucket out on
the back step for the milkman."
He cleared his throat and be-
gan again:
"Back in the seventies we had
a terrible cyclone in western
Kansas. 1t blew the cracks out
of the fences, pulled a cistern
out of the ground, moved q
township line and changed the
day of the week."
This last fusilade induced one
of the listners to speak up. He
said: II do not know much
about cyclones, but once when
was at sea I saw a waterspout
pick up tons of water and carry
it a mile and"
"Hold on" cried the Kansan
''if you are going to degrade the
conversation to the level of a
common lying contest I will re
tire" And he got up and walk
ed away, pompously.
Another man with an unblush-
ing face told this story and ex-
pected people to believe it

A country editor. not far from
Summerfield just after receiving
a cord of wood and a big supply
of vegetables on subscription,
dipped his pen in the ink and
dashed off "When you talk
