PORTLAND STEAMSHIPS.
First Of a New Line to Leave for
Alaska on or Before
August

PORTLAND, Or, July 21.-It is now
announced on reliable authority that or
or before August steamer will sail from
this port for Alaska, to be followed by
others, as justified By the trade. The
agitation and excitement from the rich
finds OF gold in the north have put new
life into business men, who are awake to
the vast trade that may result. All are
unanimous in the opinion that Portland
must make an effort TO capture due por-
tion OF the commerce, and the proposed
enterprise will find hearty support. They
realize that there is rich field for invest
ment in supplying provisions and cloth
Ing 10 those visiting the Yukon.
All those persons must live. The rugged
country and frigid climate compel con-
siderable attention to clothing and food.
There can be no doubt that great mum bers
will flock TO tho Klondyke this fall, and
many more IN the spring. Whether or
not the klondyke possesses permanent
worth. the excitement now prevailing is
sufficient 10 gather fortune-seekerS from
sll parts of the world.
Excitement is running high among the

BRITISH VESSELS BARRED.
May Not Carry Passengers From
American to Small Alaskan
Ports.

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 2l.-Unof-
fetal information was received to-day to
the effect that the British companies con-
trolling steamer lines between British
Colum bia and Alaska intend applying to
the United States tor permission to land
at small places il Alaska not ports OF en-
try. The intention OF the companies is 10
secure an advantage in passenger and
freight traffic which has become SO valu-
able on account of the rush to the klon-
dvke. Under the provisions of the laws
of this country, foreign vessels are per-
mitIed to land only at ports OF entry. In
Alaska, Sitka is the only port OF entry
where a Collector of Customs is stationed,
and fortune hunters who go 20 the gold
fields do not want to be landed at Sitka :
therefore, the vessels of British register
will lose all of the increased trade
unless they can secure the desired
concession.
If any application is made by British
companies for permission TO take passen-
gers and cargoes from San Francisco and
other American ports to Alaska points it
will be denied. Trade between ports OF
the United States and Alaska has been
construed to be coastwise trade, which Is
restricted by law to American vessels.
The department. has no authority TO make
exceptions or grant any privileges 10 for
elgQ ships.

tion. Having organized he proposes to
secure a lugboat or some other small craft
and equip it for passage to St Michaels
taking aboard eight or ten horses, num-
her OF dogs, and groceries, provisions,
clothing and general equipment to last
the prospecting party through one season.
1--WE will organize at once" said be to-
day, "and begin preparations immedi-
ately for our journey, but we will pro ba bly,
not leave until about February Is. By
waiting until that time we will not only
have plenty OF opportunity to get together
proper equipment and thoroughly pre-.
pare ourselves for the hardships OF the
north but we will also be there in time for
the next season of work. Having formed
our joint stock company Of twenty men
who can put up $500 each. we will have a
capital OF 900 10 start on. We calculate
on spending ABOUT $500 on some sort OF
craft that will carry US TO 81. Michaels or
possibly short way up the Yukon.
Having gone as far up as possible in
our big vessel, we can let down our steam
launch and make the run right UP to
Dawson City. This plan is mere specula-
tive, however. 1t may be found more ex-
pedient to strike overland from Juneau to
The gold fields rather than attem pting the
Yukon trip.

ALIEN LABOR LAW.
Canadian Press Urges That 1t Be
Enforced in the kIondyke
District,

OTTAWA, ONTARIO, July 21.-The Do
ninion Government is being strongly
urged TO exclude Americans from work
ing on the klondyke. The Government
officials will make no statement about the
matter, but it is understood the Minister
of Justice contemplates the appointment
OF au agent ON the Klondvke under the
alien labor law OF last season for the pur-
pose of putting the law into operation.
In consequence of the latest phase of
pine lum ber duties proposed by the United
States the demands of the press and the
country have become vehement for the
enforcement of the alien law. The Gov
eminent will ord.r an extra detachment
of mounted police into the Klondyke.
Inspector Strickland, who has been in the
Yukon territory for some time. is expected
to arrive at Regina tomorrow night and

silently along it reminded me of the
lines on The Burial of Sir John Moore
BY Rev. Charles Woolf:

AS there was not a drum or fife

headed comrades to keep step by
they said they hardly knew how TO
march without the drum think it
is shame to the young and rising

and will enjoy that Heavenly music
from the throne of God.

teach lessons in patriotism but Me-
mortal day gives the soldiers widow,
the mother OF the soldiers children,
most fitting chance to emphasize,
perhaps better thai she could other
wise do. The flags, the flowers, the
humble graves, all speak of the
bravery of their fathers and their
fathers comrades in arms; they speak
perhaps more plainly and impressi-
vely than any words could do. The
lesson is recalled year by year and it
seems more impressive with its in
creasing sadness and pathOs, so as
the children of the soldiers grow up
their patriotism becomes more and
more determined. Memorial day
services recall the past so much more
TO me as I am reminded here of my
childhood days and the dreary years

votion and courage and self-sacrifice,
and they teach for the future with a

There is W6tH being done in our

day school class has been formed of
the inmates, and the lesson is taught
but the workers need help especially
in singing and reading. They meet
every Sunday afternoon at O'Clock.
Won't some of the Young Peoples
societies take part in this work? The
prisoners may read this, and then
they will be watching to see if any
would listen to the call. AS you read
this it means you individually and

A GOOD PRAYER.MEErIwG.

The meeting-this good meeting
touched at once the key note of pray er.
Not the leaders prayers alone, not one
person praying for fifty, but many OF
the fifty praying for themselves like
children TO a father, like 6rothers of
one family. That chain prayer bound
all hearts together, and at the same
time raised them up where God is,
so that for all the meeting they did
not come down again. The leaders
introduction introduced the subject,
just introduced it; did not Introduce
it and then tell its family history,
and then take a death-mask of il,
and last of all kill it and dissect it,
and then stopped. There was song
in this good meeting. You couldn't
drive a coach aud four between the
syllables of every word. They sung
as children sing when they are hap
Ply, and not as the wind sings when
il bowls among the ruins. They
spoke toone another about Jesus ia
this meeting-this good meeting.
They said they loved him. They
said he helped them. They told how
he had helped them the past week.
There were no long speeches for no
one was cOnceiteu-no not one. Do
you wonder we csii it good meeting?
And then at the close they shook
hands with one another, and said
how glad they were TO see each other;
aud the one stranger il the room
thought be must have lived there
before in some pre-existent state, SO
homelike did it all seem TO him. Do
yea doubt that this was q good meet
ing? Is there any feature you could
not Incorporate in your next society
meeting? Is there any reason why
we should not have such good meet
