BEEFSTEAK CAME HIGH.
Forty-sIght DolIars Pound Paid For Is
at Circle CITY Alnska

Forty-sight Dollars Pound Paid For Il
It Circle City, Alaska
TACOMA, Wash, March l6.-The
first beefsteak that ever reached Circle
City, Alaska, sold for $48 per pound
few weeks ago. The steak consisted Of
q lO-pound piece Of the Thorpe beef
that was slaughtered at Forty Mile
Greek, and was carried from that place
to Circle City, a distance Of $50 miles,
by Thomas O'Brien.. When O'Brien
reached camp, the miners turned out
en- masse to see the steak. It was placed
on exhibition and attracted much at
tention. The prices offered were such
as would have resulted in a mining
camp quarrel or bloodshed if it had
not been decided to rattle the steak for
the benefit of hospital which Bishop
Rowe is trying to establish for the
miners at Circle City. At first only s.
per pound was offered for a slice of the
steak, but the bidding became brisker
as the meat was sliced, and as high as
$S5 per pound was offered. Finally, in
order to avoid complications, it was
decided to sell tickets at from SO cents
to $3.50 per privilege for drawing for a
slice. After $3.50 worth of tickets had
been sold the drawing began and was
ended peacefully.

Land Commissioner LamOr aaux Accused
of Official Unwisdom at Least.
WASHINGTON. March l6:-A sensa-
tional order repudiating acts of the
general land Office in the Chicago lake
front case and which probably will be
followed Immediately by the peremp-
tory dismissal of Silas w. Lamoreaux

eral land Office, was signed by Secre-
tary of the Interior Bliss. The order
directs that all proceedings in the case
subsequent to the filing of the applica-
ton to locate Mckee scrip on the lake
front, be rescinded and annulled and it
orders a new trial before the new COM
missioner, not yet appointed. within 30
days aftor notice to all parties.
Action is based on the purported
opinion of Mr.. Lamoreaux given out by
him to one of the parties in interest,
three days before the time appointed
6y himself for the formal announce
ment of the decision, and the notice to
the other interested parties.
The land on which it was proposed
to locate claims by means of this scrip
is in the heart Of the city of Chicago,
and immensely valuable, estimates of
its worth ranging all the way from $751;
600. 900 to $50, 900, OOO

the side of it and take it to where
the snake he was after would be
likely to come. He'd take along a
hopper toad with him, and when
he'd got to the place he would put
the box down on the ground with
the hopper toad inside.
1.-THE snake would come along by
and by and look in through the hole
in the side of the box and see the
toad. The hopper toad would back off
as far as it could get-way over to
the other corner-but it was no use.
The snake would slide in through
the enough of him to reach
across the box-and then it was
goodby hopper toad. But it was
also farewell snake, for with the
hopper toad inside of him he could
not back out. That part of him
where the hopper toad was was big
ger than the hole. New York Sun.
