Iiveries of Wheat Were Heavy.

Chicago Dec. 2l.-Interest in the big
December wheat deal was greatly in
creased yesterday by the arrival
from Washington of Levi z. Letter, the
millionaire merchant of Chicago, and the
substantial admission by him that his
millions were at his sons command in his
struggles with other interests.

"Wheat is frst-class commodity OF
universal use The quality of the wheat
he has purchased is of the highest, and
am sure will be in demand at a higher
price than he paid for it. l am pleased
with the situation"
There was another big increase in the
amount of contract wheat in store here
yesterday, over half million bushels
being added to the stock. Friday and
Saturday nearly 100000 bushels were
delivered here, all of which was taken by
the Letter people. At least 100000
bushels more are expected to arrive and
in liquidation of this is expected to come

WILL SEND CONDENSED FOOD
Secretary AIger Sends TO Norway for
Reindeer.

Washington, Dec 2l.-Secretary Al
ger has cabled to William Akellmann,
chief government reindeer herder, who is
now in Alien, Norway, to inform the
war department Immediately how soon
600 reindeer can be shipped to this coun-
try.
These are wanted for use as draft ami
mails in getting supplies to the miners
in the Klondike region. 1t is expected
they must be transferred at New York
to railroads, and in that manner carried
across the continent and again by sea
from the Pacific coast up to Dyea or some
other point that may be selected as the
base of operations.
Secretary Alger has determined, after
advising with the medical officers of the
war department and persons who have
had much experience in arctic regions, to
make large use of condensed food prep
arations; not only will meats be in the
most concentrated form, but particular
efforts are being made to secure condens-
ed preparations of vegetables, such as po-
tatoes aud onions.
The state department has already ask
the Canadian government permission tc
pass their stores through Canadian terri
tory free of duty.

will resist all efforts to destroy our green
backs and treasury notes, whether it be
direct legislation or by the subterfuge OF
refusing to reissue the same except III
exchange for gold.
"Resolved, That we are opposed to any
scheme of charging the powers of nation
al banks; that we oppose the comforting
of the power to issue notes, designed tC
have the same functions as money, to any
bank, corporation or individual
"Resolved, That we favor the early con

ton recognizing the independence of The

DALTON ON RELIEF PARTIES
Hardy Horses Can Do Even Better
Work Than Reindeer.

Seattle, Dec. 2l.-Jaek Dalton, the well
known Alaskan prospector, after whom
the Dalton trail is named, in an interview
speaking of the proposed relief expedition
of the United States government to Alas
ka, said:
'The proposal to use reindeer teams
does not strike me as being the right
thing. Horses can be used to much bet
ter advantage. Instead of reindeer, the
department ought to get together large
number of hardy horses, and sufficient
food should be taken along to feed them.
They can do much better work than rein
deer l would use sleds for carrying the
food for the men and provender for the
horses. 1 should say TO handle reindeer
expedition successfully it would be ne
cessary to have relays established a day
journey apart, with food for the animals
at each of these stations"
Mr.. Dalton, in speaking of the best
route by which to take relief, said that
he would go over the Cnilkoot pass and
then down the lakes and the Yukon river
over the ice.
