REINDEER TRANSPORTATION
War Departments Method of succor-
ing furnishing Miners.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Secretary Alger
has sent to Lieutenant Colonel Randall
commander of the United States troops
at St. Michaels, an order directing him
to make use of the reindeer in Alaska
for the transportation of supplies and
relief Of sufferers. Secretary Alger has
had under consideration for some time
the relief of distressed miners in the
klondike country. and has decided on
RENDERS as the best way of forward
ing supplies. The last reports from
Captain Day indicated that much suf-
fering is likely OWNS to lack of food,
and this win be added to by the fail
ure, since the report, of boats to get up
the river. Secretary Ayers idea is to
establish a regular line Of reindeer
communication under military manage
rnent.
Meanwhile advices have reached the
war department from private sources
to the effect that there is more food
along the Yukon than is generally sup
posed, and that although there may be
some suffering, no man need be hungry
if he cares to travel for the food.

FRENCH OPINION.
France VIII Not Accept a Coinage
Repudiated BY Britain.

Paris, oct. 22-The Temps today, re
ferring to Great Britain's refusal to
agree to the proposals of the United
States monetary commission, says:
The British government has not hest
tated TO disappoint the hopes of those
who counted on the re-opening of the
Indian mints and the meeting of an in
ternational monetary conference. Now
il is only q risk to keep alive the un-
fortunate illusions. Nobody will now
dare to talk of the inclinations of Great
Britain to change her currency, and
as nobody will have the impudence to
demand of France a coinage repudiated
hy our neighbors, we can again have
fun confidence in sound currency.

ARIZONA.

Arizona stands at the threshold of sn era of wonderful social and industrial de- velopment There can't be doubt about the fact. The dawn for which she has waited so long is breaking at last. There i5 every promise of a day of great pros- pcrity and permanent upbuilding just be- fore her. The impulse of a new and ener- gizing hope is visible everywhere among her people, while the cumulative effect of many things, which made but small inn pression as they transpired singly, is new commanding for her full share of atten- ton and interest abroad among home seekers aud capitalists.
 1 lively competition has sprung up for the possession of things which have hereto fore gone a begging for ownership. There is a scramble for franchises. Nothing more surely indicates great industrial awaken ing than this The rates of interest are falling to moderate figures. Nothing more surely indicates confidence and competition among inc money lenders than this.
 Arizona has reached that climacticer period which every western state has ex- pegieuced sometime in it's history when, after long and weary struggle and doubt, with each side of the balance first up and then down. the clouds of despondency have suddenly rolled away, and sunhurst of cnergizing hope has thrilled the droop- ing spirits of the people to greater and braver endeavor than before.

A white man 6Jst set foot CT what is sow Yraa County in Til. It IS the southwest division of the Territory, and one of the four original counties Of the Ter rittry, Many great reclamation projects are however on foot, and in few years ex- pect to see Yuma County rated as the richest in the Territory.
 The first glimpse the traveller from Cali fornia catches of Arizona is that of the picturesque town of Yuma, which is snugly situated in the embrace of gentle rolling hills, upon whose crcsts and sides the modern homes Of cur superior civilization are crow ding the adobe dwellings into eternal oblivion. Yuma is the gateway Co Arizona, the new empire of the West, upon whose undereloped riches the eyes of the country arc at present turned, and as such, the is bound to grow and prosper with a rapidity that at present can hardly be re- alized. But coupled with her geographi- cal position we find that she is the center of a country whose agricultural possiIi-i ties are practically unlimited, being sur rounded by soil the fertility of which exceeds that of the delta Of the Nile, and wanting oaly water to become paradise of bloom. Billions of gallons of that precious hnid have annually gone to waste at luma's very doors, but already reaction is taking place aad many enterprises are on foot to supply the life-giving waters Of ihe yellow Colorado to the thirsty earth
