CHICAGO MARKET, NOV. 20.

Those who have been predicting
that there could be no genuine revival
OF business this fall because of the ap-
preaching session of Congress and
consequent talk of possible action on
the currency and Cuban questions are
beginning to see the weakness of their
position.
With the price of railroad and other
securities advancing every day, and
with wheat approaching dollar in
price all the time and actually selling
at that figure last week, there is little
comfort for the professional croaker.
The situation in wheat is particular
~ strong one for those who believe in
still better values for that grain. The
present tirmness is not only purely
natural, but is substantial in the face
of a considerable amount of short SELL
ing every day by men who have been
educated to lower range for wheat.
These traders have many times been
compelled to settle their contracts at
a loss since wheat left the 70 cent
mark some months ago, and they are
not as confident as formerly.
On the other hand the undoubted
shortage of wheat all over the world
is bound to have it's legitimate effect.
When this time comes, those who are
on the bull side claim, dollar wheat
will look cheap. In the meantime the
farmer is assured of ready market at
excellent prices for his grain and as
the bulk of it goes abroad and brings
money to this country there is no one
here, who, directly or indirectly, does
not receive some benefit from the
transaction.
Corn has been sluggish in action,
even at low price, for several weeks,
but with the rise in wheat will come
an appreciation in corn values, and
farmers are holding corn rather than
market it at present prices. Provi-
sions are at a low water mark in point
of price, owing to tho free arrival of
hogs, but are now on basis where
there should be little, if any, decline.

LIFE IN SKA6UAY.
A Stopping Place en- Route for
Klondike.

Through the courtesy of Rev. Henry
Beer of Juneau, formerly rector of the
Church of the Holy Communion of
this city, The GAZETTE has received a
copy of the Skaguay News, published
at Skaguay, Alaska, it being the paper
published near the Klondike gold
fields. the richest gold deposits known
to the civilized world. The paper is a
six page, neatly printed sheet, and all
of the work in it's construction is done
by printers who understand their
business. The paper is Vol. I, No. 5,
dated Nov. 18th, and is brim full of
Alaskan news.
One of the first enterprises recorded
by the paper is The Skaguay and
Lake Bennett Tramway, a wagon road
which is to connect Skaguay with Lake
Bennett, the construction of which has
already begun. This road is being
built by transportation company Of
which Geo. A Bracket of Minneapolis
is vice-president and general manager
The company is Incorporated under
the laws of the State of Washington,
and has capital stock of $4,000.
The distance for this tramway is 36
miles. Already bridges costing $751;
600 have been ordered for the way.
The company, however, is to have
some trouble in connecting with the
right of-way, according to the paper,
because, one year ago, a sharp minded
person named Archie Burns, took
possession of Chilkoot Pass, and now
he disputes the right of any other per-
son or corporation passing over the
Chilkoot without license from him,
and if he is right the tramway COM
pany will have to pay him a superb
royalty before their line is completed.
Burns has commenced the construc-
ton of wire cable over the summit
and this is likely to pay him a very
handsome income providing he can
keep the tramway company from the
pass. Col. Bracket is a boomer, of
course, and he tells the Skaguay News,
that the government should establish
a military post at Skaguay, and the
News Immediately advocates the
scheme.
The News goes on and tells about
the Klondike, saying that as varied
and contradictory as are the reports
concerning the food supply in the
Klondike, it is worthy of note that
there is not dissenting opinion,
whether expert or otherwise, concern
ing the fabulous richness of the placer
deposits of that district.
c.. j. Gregory of Chicago comes in
for a roast for reporting that there
have been eleven murders, nine sui
cides and a dozen or more deaths on
the Skaguay trail during the past
summer. Gregory is called both a
liar and an imbecile by the News.

week preceding the publication.
Skaguay Odd Fellows and United
Workman we're engaged in organizing
lodges as the News went to press.
A bunch of oats was found growing
on Main street two days before the
publication, and the News insisted
that Alaska has banana weather also.
Rev. Mr.. Larson, a Methodist mis-
sionary, passed through Skaguay to
establish mission at Dawson City.
Chas. A. Phelps left for Seattle the
day previous to purchase an electric
light plant for Skaguay, the erection
of which is to commence as soon as
Mr.. Phelps returns with the material,
-Four Eastern boys returned from
the summit to the third bridge to
await a heavier fall of snow so that they
can make the pass with their sleds
and heavy baggage.
The trail across the summit is to be
tagged, Skaguay business men hav-
ing subscribed $500 in ten minutes
for this purpose.
There was no rain and but very
little frost in Skaguay up to the day
of publication.
The Waechter- Stueber party, which
attempted to drive 100 or more head
of cattle oyer the Dalton trail to Daw-
son City, and failed in the attempt,
went over the Skaguay trail to Lake
Bennett in four days, and experienced
but very little difficulty in the opera
ton.
Skaguay is bound to be metropoli-
tan and nearly all of the advertiser
ments in the News contain the street
on which the house advertised is To-
Gated.
Some one has already been trying
to boycott the editor. The latter
states that he has worked 10 out "a
hours every day, Sunday excepted, has
not Jared sumptuously, has not kept
his family in a Fifth avenue mansion,
but notwithstanding all this one or
two people, with axes to grind, are
going around trying to induce bust
ness men to withdraw their patronage,
because the editor is growing wealthy
and likely soon to become plutocrat
The editor remarks: "A word to
these chappies: People who reside
in houses constructed entirely of glass
ought to be little cautious how they
throw stones"
Two ladies, Mrs. Henry Waechter
and Mrs. Herman Stuebes, who &C.
companied their husbands in the dis
astrous attempt to drive a herd of
cattle over the Dalton trail to Dawson
City, submit to long interviews with q
lady reporter of the News, giving their
experience on that trip, in which the
Chilkat river was crossed fifty times.
Skaguay has its jealousies already,
judging from the following: "When
two or three individuals get together
in a back room, plan a scheme for re-
venge on some one against whom they
have frenzied grievence, and also to
place few dollars in their own
pockets at the same time, they should
be sure the walls do not have ears

What a Horse Can Draw,

On an ordinary dirt road, accord
ing to the Philadelphia Record, ga
horse can draw three times as much
weight as he can gu his back.
On q good mac,%esa1zea roea the ami
NAL can pull tscfee times as tsuch as
on a dirt road, while ON an asphalt
pavement the pSwer of the horse is
multiplied to such a degree that ne
can draw eleven times as much as on a
dirt road, or thirty-three times as
much rs he can carry on his back.
What the road traffic of cities yves to
the street railway is illustrated by the
computation that on metal rails a
horse can draw one and two.thirds az
much as on the best asphalt pave
ment, four times rs much al on Bel
gian blocks, nine times as much as on
cobblestoues, twenty times as much
as on an earth road, and forty times
as much as on sand"

YiiaLiLu of Seeds.

"M. G. de Candolle," says Cosmos,
sin presenting some considerations to
the British Association, relating to his
experiments on the vitality OF seeds,
cited several curious facts that it may
be interesting to mention. Thus he
related the fact observed in Greece,
where, after removing the refuse of a
silver mine that had been long un-
worked, the workmen saw a whole
fora appear, evidently from seeds that
had been buried unde. the debris and
that must have been so paried not less
than 1900 years. One OF NJ.
de Candolle's hearers, an Irish
farmer. then mentioned IN analogous
fact: he had noticed that certain
fields that had been uncultivated from
time immemorial became covered as
soon as they we're titled with the wild
poppy. It would be interesting to
know whether the poppy had not been
growing near by the fact would not
be comparable with that related by
NJ. dc Candolle unless no peoples
were to be found in the vicinity. An
other author, Mr.. Seward, q distin-
auished paieobotanist, remarked that
facts Of the same kind may have take L
place long ago; he thought, in fact,
that seeds covered by the glaciers OF
the Ice Age, may have preserved their
vitality, and may have germinated
centuries later, after the retreat OF the
glaciers."

Mrs. Cleveland and the Wheelman.

It was Christmas week and a young
man on a bike was confidently riding
up F street. A heavy carriage drawn
by two praneing bays came spinning
ND the street at the same time. The
young man was fairly run into the
gutter, by the turnout andto save him
self from being crushed, he jumped off
his wheel. The bays were drawn up
to the curb in great style, and the lady
occupant of the carriage stepped out
to 90 into q store. She instantly took
in the catastrophe. The wheel was
almost o wreck, and the rider was
looking around for his hat. She
stepped right up to him and inquired
if he was. hurt. Being assured that
he was not, she took out a card and
wrote q few lines on it and gave it to
him, saying:
"Haye your wheel repaired and
| send the bill to Mr.. Thurber with
this card. lam very glad you were
not hurt"
The signature on the card was

RedOnfn and Egyptians.

ing Arabs, Mr.. Kelly says: Lacking
education themselves, their respect for
superior knowledge is great, and they
eagerly listen to and absorb such H.
formation as may be CLEANED in their
casual intercourse with the people met
during their wanderings. However,
great as is their respect for knowl-
edge, they hold horsemanship
in still greater esteem, and l
attribute much of my success
in dealing with the Arabs to the fact
that I could ride the half wild desert
stations, in which my previous ex-
perience of rough riding in Morocco
stood me in good stead. Indeed, their
contempt for their neighbors the
EgyptianL is completely expressed in
their comm';ap rofa,ence to them as

their case; and ! have known Arabs,
who, obliged to cross the delta, have
carried out with them sufficient desert
sand with which to cover the
ground before they would deigu to
pitch their tents or sit upon the
"dirty soil of Masr." Differing from
the Egyptians in many essential points
their love for dumb animals is in
marked contrast to the cruelty prac'
tised upon them by nearly all classes
in Egypt; but perhaps in no way il

by the respect in which the Bedouir
hold their womankind. Moslems OF

all that is good in Mohammedanism,
and avail themselves but little OF it'
