Key to KIOndike.

The Pioneer Alaska railway is the North
ern Pacific, and to that company belongs
the credit, in connection with the Pacific
Coast Steamship Co., of having the sale OF
through tickets to points in Alaska. The
Northern Pacific was the first railway to
issue map of Alaska showing the inland
passage from Puget Sound to Sitka
Juneau and Chilkat,
Those intending to go to Alaska early
next spring, after the SHOWS on the Dyea
and Skaguay passes are packed down and
the lakes frozen, or at later date either
via this route or via ST. Michaels and the
mouth of the Yukon, should remember
that the Northern Pacific is the Pioneer
Alaska Line; runs steamheated trains
with dining cars, Pullman standard and
tourist sleepers from ST. Paul to Tacoma,
Seattle, or Butte City, the latter the great
est silver mining gap in the world, also
via Lake Pend D'Oreille, Idaho, or through
the famous Occur D'A1ene country.

Japanese Alloys.

The composition of number OF
Japanese alloys hitherto kept a
close secret is said to be, as now re
vealed by workmen making them,
as follows: The "shadko'' is an al
10y of copper and from ] to 10 per
cent of gold, the objects being
placed in a mordant of. sulphur OF
copper, alum and verdigris, until
they have assumed the coppered or
blue black hue of sword sheaths
and decorative articles. Another OF
these is 'gni-shi- bu-ichi," a copper
alloy with 80 or So per cent of silver
of the well known gray color. What
is called 'mokume" is a compound
of several alloys. About 80 plates
of foils of gold, shadko, copper, sill
yer and the last mentioned alloy are
soldered together, holes are made
and the plate hammered out and put
in the mordant The finest Japanese
brass ''sinchu" consists of ten parts
copper and five of zinc, and of bell
metals tkarakane" is made of ten
parts of copper, four of tin, one, half

HOW TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA

At this time of the year cold is
very easily contracted, and if left to
run its course without the aid ofsome
reliable cough medicine is liable to
result in that dreaded disease pneu-
monia, We know of no better remedy
to-cure cough or cold than Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. We have
used it quite extensively and it has
always given entire satisfaction.-Ol-
agah, Ind. Ter, Chief.
This is the only remedy that is
known to be certain preventative
of pneumonia. Among the many
thousands who have used it for colds
and la grippe, we never yet learned
of case having resulted IN pneu-
monia. Persons who have weak lungs
or have reason to fear an attack of
pneumonia, should keep the remedy
at hand. The Is and so cent sizes

The stomach makes it out of undi-

The way to be rid of it is to look

THE COTTON AND GRAIN MARKET.

Cotton opened easier with some selling by
long houses but the trade in the main was
rather limited. Liquidation continued to be
quite general on the large receipts at New

but there was some good selling. The crowd
was inclined to be bearish OH the fine weather
and pounded the market on every oppor-
tunity.

morning and there seemed TO be considerable
July wheat wanted under 20 cents.

there were no features to tho market and the
trade was chiefly of a scalping nature. Oats
were lower and the fine weather reported in
