LATEST NEWS
From Alaska and the KlOndyke
Regions Arrives Today.

Port Townsend, Wn., July 26.-The
steamer City of Topeka arrived today
from Alaska. She brings news that the
Klondyke fever is on the increase at
Juneau, nearly every able bodied man
there having gone, prepared to go to
the rich fields. Authentic reports direct
from Dyea are that there is now as
much freight piled up at the head of the
inlet the Indians can pack over the
divide in the next 1S months. This
amount of freight VIII be more than
doubled when the steamers Queen and
Mexico, now en- route, arrive. This con-
dition of affairs practically precludes
the possibility of hundreds of the gold
seekers reaching the mining region this
year.
Frank F. Myers, a Juneau newspaper
man, will leave here in two weeks for
Dawson City. He will go by the route
followed by Lieut.. Schwatka, who con-
Quoted an exploring party into the Yu-
kon valley in 1888. This route starts
from Takou Inlet, 80 miles south of Jun
eau, from Takou to Lake Teslin, a dis
tance of 13O miles, over level prairies,
and the country from Lake Teslin is an
open valley through to the Yukon river
by way of the Hootingua river. With
the aid of pack horses the Takou route
is by far the more prefera BILE. 1t is
probable that a stage line will soon be
operated on this route. Parties who
have been over both routes say that the
walk of 100 miles over the level coun-
try is more easily accomplished than
that of the Is miles over the Chilcat
summit.
John G. Brady has taken his oath of
office and is now A1aska's governor.

ON THE ENCHANTED MESA.
Professor Libbey of Princeton Reaches
the Top.

Albuquerque, n. NJ. July 26.-After
four centuries of effort the Mesa Encan-
tada has been scaled. The honor be-
longs to Prof. Libbey of Princeton uni
versity.
The ascent is the most difficult of any
in the world. The Mesa rises to a height
of $50 feet from the plains and covers
space of about ten acres.
For ten years the place has challeng-
ed the attention of scientific men be-
cause of the rumor that it was inhab-
tied by an ancient race, and numerous
efforts have been made to reach its
summit, as the summit is supposed to
be as it was when it emerged from the
deluge.
A vast collection was made and will
be forwarded to Princeton, where the
bOtanistS will try to probe the story
problem of the southern continent.
Professor Libbey was equipped with
a number of tandem kite teams, a bal
loon and gun used by the United
States life saving service. 1t was with
this latter apparatus that the ascent or
two centuries ago stated was
more impregnable than Gibraltar
where the armies of the world would
not avail. The cannon was anchored
in the desert and a cord 5000 feet in
length, was shot over the Mesa and
made fast in the sand on the opposite
side. Then a workman made the as
cent, creeping and climbing over the
rough edges and shelves of rocks to the
summit, followed by Professor Libbey
in a travelling chair, W. H. Bridgeman
of Brooklyn and others. On the sum-
init there were no evidences of inhabi-
tants. The hutS that were believed by
tradition to be there and the bones of
two hundred people who left there at
the time of the local deluge when the
ladder rock was swept away were no
where to be seen. Half a thousand
years have elapsed according to tradi-
ditionS among the Indians since this
great flood occurred. 1t was bare and
desolate place. The only water in sight
was such as stood in pools supposed to
have been made by the Acomo Indians
a thousand years ago, but no animal
life was visible. There were the great
rocky battlements used by the tribe
before their rock ladder path was de-
stroyed and by which they defended
themselves from the attacks of the in
vaders but all else was desolate. The
party spent the entire day on the sum-
init gathering specimens of flora

Rock Island Declared the Off

For Kansas Veterans to Buffalo
Cheap Rates.

Denver, July ga new freight tariff
on coal from Colorado into Kansas will
go into effect next month which will
result in an extension of the market for
the product of the Colorado mines and
give employment to more miners.
The rate has been So. so a ton for the
last five years to all points in Kansas
and Nebraska. The new tariff sheet
Will be issued on July %, and the rate
will go into effect August 10. The rate
extends to a point drawn north and
south through Wichita, Kan. The new
rate is So. This is the result of COM
bination between the Colorad do Fuel and
Iron Company and Santa Fe coal prop
critics. Mines heretofore working on
about third time will be able to work
full time.
Vice President Cass of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company said last night
that he had not been furnished with a
copy of the new tariff and did not know
what the exact rates are, but that they
will be equitable and will let Colorado
coal into western Kansas.

LARNED's ENTERPRISE.
Plan to Dam the Pawnee end Sec ure
Cheap Power and Light

I4arned, July 26.-The most gigantic
enterprise that has yet been undertaken
in this part of Kansas is now being de-
veloped by Larned business men and
New England capitalists. They pro-
pose to harness the waters of the Paw
nee river by building a dam one and
half miles west of here, and then put
in an electric plant TO supply water for
the Touring mills. planning mill, ele-
vators, foundry and creamery now in
operation here, and for other similar
industries that may be established.
The high price of fuel has always
been great drawback to manufactur-
ing industries in this section of Kan
sas, but with cheap power furnished
by the waters of the Pawnee river,
through the aid of electricity, it is con-
fidently predicted that Larned will soon
become a manufacturing center of no
small Importance. Electric experts
have examined the situation and say
the Pawnee can easily be made to fur
niSh almost an unlimited amount of
electric power, and that the industries
now here can be operated at from half
to two-thirds less cost than at present
by the use of coal. a Boston capital

mayor 1.-The enforcement of the prohib-
itory law in Kansas has been a farce,
so far as stopping the sale of intOXi
cants was concerned, as it is almost i'm
possible to get a conviction for viola
tion of the law. At no time during all
these years has the law been anything
but burden to the taxpayers of En-
poria. Thousands of dollars have been
expended by the county in fruitleSS
prosecutions of persons whom every
person in the city was well satisfied
were violators of the law.
With my method of enforcing the
law some of the ministers have taken
exceptions. which they had a perfect
right to do. But they have no right,
/ think. to denOunce me as a perjurer
and worse than a condemned criminal
behind the bars of the penitentiary.
This, according to printed reports of his
sermon. and what 1 am told by those

IN EFFECT SATURDAY.
The New Tariff Schedule Applies
From Midnight Friday.

Washington, July 26-The secretary of
the treasury holds that the new tariff act
was in effect at the beginning of the day
on Which it received the approval of the
president and therefore became operative
after midnight on Friday, July %. As
sistant Secretary Howell today sent the
following telegram to collectors of Gus
toms:
Department holds that new tariff law
covers and includes all customs business
of July "a"
Later in the day a formal circular of
instructions covering more fully the de-
partments views on the subject will be
printed and mailed to all customs colIec-
tors. The opinion of the attorney general
has not been requested in the matter, the
department holding that the question is of
sufficient Importance to justify them in
taking it to the courts for final determi-
nation, Independent of what the views of
the law officers of the government might
be the merits of the case.
Senator Allison was at the treasury de-
partment today and in course of a con-
versation the subject said that in his
opinion, there was no reasonable doubt
that the act covered all of the day
which it became a law. This also is the
view of all the prominent officials of the
treasury department including the collec-
of the leading ports of the country.
Sufficient data upon which to base a
close estimate of the amount of duties
involved has not been received, but it is
stated roughly that it probably will be
between $10O, 900 and $500, 600. The internal
revenue department probably will save
even a greater amount by the new ruling
than the customs branch of the service.
During the five days from Tuesday, July
20 to and including Saturday, July "a, the
internal revenue stamp agencies sold ap
proximately IS, ,1S1 800 in beer stamps alone
and of this amount it is estimated that
not more than one-third s1,727, ,266
reached their destination before the act
ernment on these sales of beer stamps
alone is expected to aggregate not less
than $1S3, 900.
Commissioner Foreman today tele
graphed all stamp agents to settle only
on the basis of the increased rate of ~
cents per barrel and it is expected that
these Instructions will apply to all cases
where the stamps were not actually af-
fixed to the packages before the new rate
became operative. No figures as to the
amount of cigarette stamps disposed of,
have yet been received, but it is believed
that the sales have been abnormally large
ing generally was increased 100 per cent
or so cents per thousand to one dollar.
Inducement to the tobacco merchants to
lay in large supplies were even greater
than in the case of the brewers.
