EVERY correspondent from Alaska
either from the coast or the interior
advises everybody to keep away until
spring as not more than ten per cent
OF those at Skagua and Dyea will sue
coed in reaching the gold fields this
year, and those already in will stand q
prospect OF going on short rations be-
fore the long winter is oyer. Good
warm clothing will do more to preserve
health IN Alaska than anything ex-
cept the proper food, and both are es-
sential to good health. Prospective
gold-seekers in this vicinity under
stand these things, however, and no
one here has any idea of going before
spring, but lot OF needless Eastern
tenderteet are stampeding this way,
with no idea of what they must en-
of. - 0'1ou

The G. A. r Encampment.

ONE of the most inspiring incidents
in connection with the Grand Army
encampment at Buffalo recently, was
the act Of the President of the United
States marching at the head OF the
procession. How fitting it is that the
chief executive should be one Of those
who wore the blue in those days and
how fitting today for one who wore it
to lead the 45 1000 veterans who gath
cred, thirty-two years after the strug-
gle closed, to talk over the battles lost
and won and renew old acquaintance.
To the younger men, reunions may
seem commonplace and cold soldier"
no particular inspiration, but when
$4,000 aged and careworn veterans
meet together and march in one body
with the chief executive at its head
one can not help realizing their inhu-
ence and grandeur and the greatness
of their achievements.
These men-mOre so than great
many others, are getting feeble and
reduced in numbers which is plainly
seen when they assemble, as the years
go by.
The Grand Army Of the Republic is
one of the most heroic features of this
country's life today; when it is gone a
mighty inspiration will have departed
from American life. The loyal people
look up to them with venerated rever-
ence, and viii regret the day when it
will be G. A. r. in memory.
The report given at the encamp-
ment showed that there were 7106
posts with a membership of 319 ,456 in
the different states and territories,
June 30, 1887. 1916 veterans have,
during the year, joined the post on
the other shore.
Col. Goblin, Of Pennsylvania, was
elected G. A. r. Commander and Gin
cinnati was selected as the place for
the next annual encampment.

Our state penitentiary is manufact-
uring wheat sacks and selling them to
the farmers at cost, or rather at a
price that leaves no compensation for
the labor of convicts in making :hem
This is hardly fair to the taxpayers
and citizens of the state who are not
engaged in farming. The people Of
the state pay $40 a year;for the main.
tenance of each of the prisoners, and
the sole profit of this convict labor
goes to the farmers of Eastern Wash.

AND now there is prospect of higher
prices for corn. The Europeans are
taking our corn in great quantities,
and here is statistician B. w. Snow,
of Chicago, one of the ablest experts
Oh crops in the country, with an esti-
mate that the corn crop of the coun-
try of the country will be no more
than 1,SOO,OOO,OOO bushels this year
against 1888, 100000 bushels last year.
This means higher prices for corn.
And yet silver continues to fall.
