DOGS ARE USEFUL
Perform Many Services for the Miners
in Frozen Alaska

Dogs have suddenly become more VAL
liable than horses in this section Of the
northwest This state of affairs results
from the great and growing demand for
dogs to be used in hauling sedges in the
Yukon country, Alaska. While thou
sands of horses for which their owners
cannot get SO per head are roaming over
the plains of Eastern Washington and
Oregon, good-sized dogs are bringin (
from SIS to $50 each in the local market.
At Juneau their value is double what
it is here, and on the Yukon river good
dog brings from $100 to $3.50. To the
Yukon miner the dog has become what
the reindeer is to the Laplander and the
pony to the cowboys of Texas and Mex
ico-a beast of service, and a most val
liable one.
Every steamer sailing for Alaska for
three months past has borne northward
several dozen dogs destined, for service
in front of heavily laden sledges. They
are taken by boat to Dyea, at the head
of salt water navigation, and there put
into harness to assist in hauling outfits
and supplies over the Chilkoot pass and
down the farther slope to the series of
fresh water lakes forming the head

Southwesterners Kicking

A meeting of the Southwest Improve
ment association was held Thursday
evening at Paulks hall, Washington
street, to consider the steps necessary
to be taken to reduce the valuation
placed by the city assessor upon prop
erty in the recently annexed territory
to the city on the southwest 1t was
found that the only step that could now
be taken in the matter was fer each prop
erty owner to make application for a
reduction in valuation to the common
council, now sitting as board of equal
ization. All property owners in the
annexed district were requested to i'm
mediately file their applications for a
reduction, and either appear before the
board Of equalization in person or auth
orize some one to act in their behalf.

consumes the distance to the desired goal.
AS no bodily function can suffer inter-

health of the system SO the system can

resumed Take, for instance, digestion, a
suspension of which is invariably rectified

the use Of the Bitters show with what
thoroughness it removes their cause.

and Considered

The board of public works held a short

A Corner in Watermelons

For the third time in as many years,
James Mckinney of 405 Walnut street
has earned the title of Watermelon
King" of Kansas City. He has accom-
plished another of his corners, and
inside of ten days the prices on melons
have doubled.
Less than two weeks ago the retail
merchants and other customers of the
wholesale mission men in the north
end experienced no trouble in getting
melons from any of the dealers at $50
to $40 per 100. One morning the grocers,
as we'll as the various dealers, were
astounded by the report that Mckinney
had cut the price, without warning, to
SIT and $40 per 100, and later to $17 fiat.
The older men on the market knew what
was coming-in fact they had been look
ing for it since the season opened. 1t
was no new trick on McKinney's part,
and his competitors knew he was paw
ing the way for another corner, but did
not suspect how we'll he had laid his
plans before they began running the
gauntlet. They were determined to frus-
trate him this time, and accordingly
they met the cut ard succe eded in selling
out in very short time
Then came the discovery that McKin-
ney had under contract all the melons
on the way from TexaS-the only source
of supply a present. There was nothing
to do but to lay down to the indisputablc
dictator, and from that time on to the
present day the prices have gradually
advanced, back to $50 and $34 per 100 or
from $1.25 to $3.50 per dozen to $3.50 10
81 per dozen.
Mr. Mckinney has had thirty-three
cars this week-all, with the possible ex-
ception of two cars, that arrived in Kan
sas city. When he, closed up last night
he had less than one car left, and buy
ers We're clamoring about his doors, de-
| manding his price and begging for the
| first pick, as the melons were running
| down to 'culls." Competitors who only
few days ago had plenty of stock and
met his cut in prices were among his GUS
| toners, and they seemed only too glad
| to pay his eXorbitant retail" prices, as
| they had orders to fill.
| There is no danger of melon famine
as Mr.. Mckinney has several cars on
the road that will get in some time to-
morrow. The Texas supply is nearing
| the close of the season, but the Arkansas
! fruit is beginning to ripen and will be in
| Kansas City in few days. As soonas it
| begins to come in the corner" will be
| broken and the prices will again go down
| to a reasonable point in keeping with the
| sieason.-KaEsas City Star.
