CADETS TO STRIVE FOR THE RIoRDAN MEDAL

: At Mechanics Pavilion this afternoon
viii: be held the grand junior rally of the
: League of the Cross. This is the decisive
contest in the essay competition. During
the past year the different parishes have
had contests, the winners of which have
competed in distinct contests. Now the
district champions are to strive for victory
in the grand contest, and the winner will
receive handsome diamond medal Of
=fered by Archbishop Riordan.
There are five competitors for the medal,
and the subject of their essay is, "The Ne
cessity for the Sunday Closing of Saloons
=. The contestants are so evenly matched
that while the guesses are numerous the
outcome of the friendly strife is very
much in the dark. The young orators

that contemplates moving supplies
already accumulated at S.. Michael up the
Yukon River upon the ice by means of an
ice train that not only will be capable of
! rapid locomotion, but will also be able TO
haul vast quantity of supplies.
Quite in line with this idea, though
superior to anything heretofore suggested
in mech anical equipment, is the plan
adopted by recently organized freight
trans portation company to handle sup
plies between ST. Michael and the gold
field over the ice floor of the Yukon River.
The above cut represents a road loco
motive made by the Best Manufacturing
Company OF San Lsandro that has been
selected by he pany as best adapted
tor the use contemplated.
This engine is of 50-horsepower, and
is capable of hauling upon suitable sleds
fifty tons OF freight at an average speed OF
from three to four miles per hour, or from
seventy-fve ~ one hundred miles i'll
! twenty-four hours.
The purpose of the company is to use
two OF these engines, one to act as
tender" 10 the other. The one will go in
advance at hi.her rate of speed to select
! and prepare the road ana to procure wood
from The river banks, TO be converted
| into fuel for the use OF the freight engine.
Both engines will be provided with
"caboose" or attendant Car that will serve
as sleeping and eating department for
the men. There will be Two crews of men
to each engine to enable continuous prog
ress both day and night.
There is every reason TO believe that this
project is the most practical one yet pro-
mulgated for the imm mediate transfer of
supplies 10 the imprisoned klondike min
ers.
The Best Manufacturing Company have

had received was not what it should
have been in the short time elapsing
between the election and the opening.
One of the neatest exhibits is that Of
the Princeton planning mill. 1t is a

This week has witnessed a general
frightening Of the real estate market
owing to an influx of landseekers.
Several parties have driven overland
from the Dakotas and Iowa and besides
a number have come from the south
ern part Of the State. M. S. Ruther-

most of the recent arrivals were we'll
to-do and had plenty Of money to pur-
chase land and make the necessary
improvements. In fact they would
immediately become substantial and
prosperous citizens. These are the
kind Of men we like to see settling IN
the county as they will find farming
profitable and by their success induce
others to seek homes here.
