who is reported to have "struck il" rich
IN the Clondyke says:
II have known men to take ont ST .oOo

gold was found in pockets, and those finds
you can rest assured, were very scarce.

an outfit that would cost less than $500,

the chances are that he may prospect for
years without finding apaying claim, and
again he may be lucky enough to strike

The country is wild, rough and full of
hardships for those unused to the rigors
OF Arctic winters. If a man makes for

The safest place to invest in mining is
in localities that are easier of access, and
where the industry is being carried on
proiitably The chances for fortunes
may not be so great but the returns will
be more certain, and the probability OF
failure UNNECESSARILY less. Think twice
before undertaking the suffering and ex-

New Plan for Soldiers Colony.
The fowllowing letter, taken from the
National Capitol, presents some good
suggestions on timely subject. The
writer is the well-known Wishkah valley

ABERDEEN, WASH, June 81, 1897.
EDITOR NATIONAL CAPITOL,
Washington, ID. G.,
Dear Sir:
Believing that the National Capitol is
really friend to the old soldier, [ take
the libertySof addressing few lines to
you, concerning matter which will in.
tercst hundreds of those who served in
the civil war.
1t is now thirty-three years since we
laid down our arms, and gave up war for
peace, homes and undivided country.
We are growing old and many have
hard work to keep themselves and fami-
lies from want, during these hard times !;
in very few instances are pensions given
sufficient to keep in ordinary comfortable
circumstances, the recipient; he who so
willMl o,'d periodically offered him.
self to the cause OF liberty Our govern
ment has been very lavish with the pub
lie domain, in substituting railroads and
other corporations; millions of acres of
the best farm and timber lands in our
country have passed into the hands of
foreign syndicates and individuals, many
so-callcd, cold Soldiers Colonies" have
been organized, but have mainly turned
out to be INSCRIPTIONS speculations.
When we left Our farms, our homes
and our loved ones to protect our whole
land, we did not think it would be de-
spoiled in the way it has, by very doubt.
full legislation.
'Tis with dismay we, now in our old
age and feebleness, see this unjust de-
spoiaton of the lands which should be
held for homesteads only.
We have faith in our nation and its
officers. We have faith in the colonial
ton OF the old veterans.
We ask for homes, we ask that govern
ment take the matter in hand, set apart,
in some healthy and desirable spot a
efficiently large tract OF tillable land to
give all old soldier applicants home Of
his own, SO that the new generation may
not witness the humiliating sight Of U.
S. soldier reduced to pauperism give each
few acres, and If necessary assist them
to build comfortable houses, and the i'm
plement needfui to cultivate the same.
This is freely given to the Indians. Are
we not as deserving as they? We do not
ask much, humble abode with few
acres OF land we can call our own, that
we can utilize for our own benefit is GER
tanly not much for the service we rem
dered, the best years OF our life we spent
on the field, the homes and loved ones
we gave up, the hardships and dangers
we endured.
IT'S not the glory and honor OF our dear
old flag that it's defenders are suffering
from want, It's not calculated to inspire
patriotism in the hearts OF our children
and the rising generation to see the old
veterans poor, homeless, and in actual
want as MANY on this coast are today.
Who will join in for an cold Soldiers
Colony" located and upheld by govern
ment, with no chance for private specu-
lation?
invite all who are interested to write
to one who has the welfare OF the veter-
ans at heart, and whose motto is Gree
Homes and Independence for the Old
Soldiers"
