AT FORT WRANGLE
A LARGE CROWD GATHERING
READY FOR SPRING
Letters From Customs Collector Says
Rich New Strikes Are Being
8, Reported There '- 6


An interesting letter from Fort Wran-
gel, Alaska, under date of November
7th, written by j. A. Arment, deputy COL
lector of customs at that point, to DR..
A. NJ. F. Mccullough of this city says
of that territory:
"Of the many reports you have read
of this country, some are true and others
wholly false. ns.n
This part of Alaska and all of the
coast line as far as Mount st. Elias. bet
ter known as southeastern Alaska, will
develop very rich mines in the next few
years. Rich prospects have been found,
but little development Work has been
done yet.
"There is no question but what the
richness Of the mines in the interior of
Alaska and the Northwest Territory ad-
joining it far outrival any fairy tales or
Count Of Monte Cristo's ever dreamed
Of. There will be many more fully as
rich yet discovered, for we hear of new
strikes every time some one comes out
Of that part of the country.
There will doubtless be some suffer-
ing there this winter on account of the
scarcity of provisions. but when trans
portation opens next spring think pro-
visions will be plentiful and reasonably
cheap.
People keep coming here on every
steamer and from what we can learn,
they will keep on coming all winter in
order to be ready to start on from here
the last part of February or first part Of
March. All Wrangel expects an enor-
nous crowd in the spring, as all the Brit
ish are booming this route via Wrangel,
Stikeen river and Lake Teslin.''

TRUE LIFE OF JACOB
Madame Mountford's Fourth Lecture
at Simpson Tabernacle

An audience, larger thanyat any pre-
ceding lecture, was present in Simpson
tabernacle to hear Nine. Mountford tell
Of the 'True Life of Jacob" The tent
scene was again reproduced, and with
many dramatic effects the speaker and
her assistants portrayed different
scenes and incidents in Jacobs life and
time.
She referred to the childless Isaac
Rebekah's prayer, the birth of Esau and
Jacob, giving definition of their names
and characters. The selling of birth
right, filial obedience and Oriental con-
sideration for the old and the blind were
treated in detail. The parting between
mother and son, Jacobs meeting with
Rachel, why Laban deceived Jacob. and
a spirited illustration was given Of his
marriage with Leah. - ''t
The clandestine departure was de-
scribed, the reconciliation of the broth
ers, death and burial of Rachel, and the
death Of Isaac. Through it all Nine.
Mountford made the applications of
Oriental customs to scriptural texts.
which gives to most of them q deeper
significance. This evening the subject
will, be "Ecce Homo. or from Bethle-
hem to Calvary"

product contains only the soluble sub
stance of the lemon, and is free from all
fatty or foreign matter. A new direc-
tory of Riverside has been donated by
Charles John.
Secretary Virgins reports a big de-
mand for pumpkin seed. Only this
morning one man asked for so pounds of
the seed for planting in Wisconsin, and
another asked for 10 pounds for Tennes-
see. They want the genuine California
pumpkin seed, and so they come to head
quarters. Mr.. Virgins arranges for
furnishing the seed to the seekers for
pumpkin seed of the right kind direct
from some reliable grower.

THE THREE FRIENDS.

Instructions Given to Proceed Against
the Alleged Fflibuster.
Attorney General Harmon has given in
structions to the United States attorney at
Jacksonville, Fla, to at once proceed
against the alleged filibuster, 1.-THE Three
Friends" under section 1897 of the Revised
Statutes. for engaging In an act of piracy.
This action is taken in view of the recent
decision of Judge Locke Of Jacksonville,
which held, in effect, THAT the Cuban in
surgents were not people, state or dis
trict or colony within fAe mfaning of sec
ton 52S3 of the Revised Statutes. under
which the libel was brought. In other
words. that the expedationsin which she
was engaged was not alpolitical one.
1t is the understanding 2f the depart
ment that the Three Friends, some weeks
ago, while on a filibust teyAng expedition, car
rying arms and a mounted cannon on her
deck. was pursued by Spanish vessel.
and in making her escape frsf one or more
shots at her pursuer. Whether shots were
actually fired or not, the contention is that
within the terms of section, fO7. The At
torney Generals opinion is, that there is
but one alternative. The Thfee Friends. on
the occasion named, wAf eitfer engaged on
"a political expedition hgaffISt a friendly
power or on a piratfcaf one. Her arms
and mounted cannon furnish evidence that
her mission was not q peaceful one, but
quite the contrary. In any event, the AT
torney General has decided to give Judge
Locke another opportunity OF deciding Jus,
what the character Of the Three Friends
expedition was. No action Is now con.
templated against the officers and crew o1
the vessel .-..

DIR. ABBOTT AND MR.. MOODY.
They Differ Regarding the Story Of
Jonah and the Whale.

Jonah and the Whale.
Rev. DIR. Lyman Abbott of Brooklyn. in
series Of lectures on the Bible, recently dis
cussed the story of Jonah and the whale,
which he was not disposed to accept literal
ly, but regarded an allegory.
Mr.. Dwight l.. Moody, the evangelist, in
an interview, said:
ITO deny the story of Jonah and the
whale. 1t seems to me, lays the AK at the
root of the tree. AS Jonah was three days
in the whales belly, SO the Son of Man was
three days in the bowels of the earth. IL
you throw the story of Jonah out, you must
throw out the story of the resurrection.
When you attack one miracle you attack
them all. The Bible says thar God pre-
pared a great fish to swallow Jonah Sci
ence says that a whale could not swallow
any man because of physical reasons. You
see the Bible brushes this objection away at
cne stroke.
ITO question miracles, ii seems to me,
overthrows the whole Bible, since there is
no part of the Bible which does not teach
them. / don't see how il Is possible to ques-
tion them. IL the Bible isn't true nothing
Is true"
DIR. Lyman Abbott took up the Book of
Proverbs. DR.. Abbott said that he agreed
with those who regarded the Proverbs as a
collection of voices, not of one voice, and
differing in degree of nspira ton and also
in their appeals to men and women in ac-
cordance with their different temperaments.
"The Proverbs he said, ''are the result
Of keen and careful observation, epitomized
in brief and pregnant sentences. We are
not to look in them for any philosophy or
theology. There is no hint in them of the
great doctrines of Christianity, no system
of life. The book is in no sense theologi-
cal one. 1t does not tell what ought 10 be,
but what is; but there is 10 better book for
a young man to take who wants TO guide
himself according to the best councils of
this life"

NO SHADOWS TODAY.
So the Ground Hog is Supposed tt
Stay Out.

SO the Ground Hog is Supposed to
Stay Out.
February is known to English-speaking
people as Ground hog day." On this day
the shy rodent called the woodchuck is said
to emerge from his burrow and survey the
sky. He is contradictory beast, Illogical
and wayward, for if it be bright and clear
he declines to remain above ground, but,
Immediately catching sight of his own
shadow, he scurries back to his winter
home and sleeps contentedly for six weeks
longer, happy in the instructive faith that
when he finally comes forth for good the
season will be settled. In short a sunny
I'd of February presages six weeks more
Of winter. Contrariwise, dull day IS
thought to encourage the grounding TO ne
gin at once his work of sustaining life, ana
he turns his back on his burrow and starts
to root for dinner.
There is no mistaking that the ground
hog saw no shadow in this region To-Day,
So in so far as his forecast is trustworthy,
the people of this vicinity may expect an
early spring. But. unfortunately Tor the
woodchuck's prestige. his prophecies are
often refuted by the records, and IT IS
really a toss of the penny whether IT Is sa1e
to be guided by him or not. He Is taxing
lust as great chances as any other weathef
prophet.

seven ballots Henderson held his II votes
Saturday, while Thatcher lost l and Raw

occurred on the first ballet. and IL was
mainly a contest between Thatcher and
Rawlins- While there has been a slight
variation in the strength of the leading
candidates as the result of yesterdays bal
Ioting, the deadlock seems less pro-
nounced than IL was last week the last
six ballots showing scarcely a change in
the voting. There was rumor last night
that there would be a break in the Hender-
son forces today. and that five or six of
MS followers would go to Rawlins, and
that the latter would then receive the
three republican votes The friends OF
henderson do not concede that such a
break will occur
