OUR KLONDYKE STAFF.

That THE CALLS host of readers may be
supplied at the earliest possible moment
with the most reliable information with
regard TO the Klondyke goldfelds an ex-
pedition of able, tried and trustworthy
newspaper men, thoroughly equipped in
every particular, has been dispatched by
this paper to the Arctic land whence have
come stories of placer finds so rich as TO
almost challenge belief, and not stories
merely, but bags and jars filed with mug
gets of virgin gold which speak for them
selves and which returned miners declare
are only handfuls picked from river banks
that gleam with the yellow metal and
yield more wonderfully the deeper they
are pierced.
Is it possible that lucky enthusiasts
may have exaggerated the extent OF
Yukon riches? May not the placer dig
gings be already under claims of COM
panies or individuals? Or are they prac-
tical!y limitiess? These and hundreds of
other questions are to be answered and
The CALL will present to the public the
substantial facts - the plain, ungilded
truth.
The staff selected to serve tho pub
lie by gathering the facts of the
new gold discovery has been care
fully chosen. 1t will transmit uncol-
o-ed reports, descriptive of the routes
to the Klondyke and the extent of the
placers; faithful accounts of all the con-
ditions that prevail, and, in fact, the
truth and the whole truth regarding what
has been termed the new 'land of the
golden fleece, !" far in the icy northland.
Just as the best and most reliable news
thus far Obtained concerning the Yukon
mines has first appeared in The CALL, so
may it be expected with every degree OF
confidence that THE CALL will be the first
newspaper to receive and publish the facts
as they appear to cool-headed, eye-wit-
nesses, whose high regulations guarantee
the fidelity of their reports.

FAILURE OF THE EADS JETTIEs

The Eads ietties at the mouth of the
Mississippi River, according TO the report
of Major J. B. Quinn of the War Depart
ment, are failing to do the work for which
they were designed. On account of shoal-
ing there were seventy -four davs in the
year ending June 80 when legal channel
of twenty-six feet depth was not main
tanned. This is rather startling news fer
the Government, with which the Eads
Company hold a contract TO Keep the
channel at the requisite depth.
Major Quinn SAYS that the maintenance
of the legal channel for any length of
time under. the Eads management is i'm
possible without considerable modifica-
tion in controlling the dikes and jetties
and a considerable increase in the dredg-
ing plant. 1t is clear, he says, that the
extension of the bar in the gulf will soon
render the usefulness of the jetties at an
end for eping navigable channel for
heavy-draught ships. At present vessels
drawing % feet of water are often seri-
ously retarded.
The Eads Com pany. it is said, are now
anxious to have the Government take the
burden off their hands, although their con-
tTdCt ubS ytL tuEeS years 10 Dut IL IS
inferred from the report in question that
the contractors are unable to fulfill their
agreement. These jetties have cost mil
lions of money to maintain, and the pros
poets are that the Government will
now have to build plant of its own.
This, it is estimated, will require the
expenditure of $2000,00o for the plant
and another million for labor and mate
rial for extension on the basis OF channel
from 80 to 81 feet deep.
This will be necessary as soon as the
Eads contract expires unless some con-
tractor can be found to undertake the
work on the same terms as the Eads Com
pany, $40o. 900 a year. The important
matter demands prompt attention from
the National authorities. as most extern
sive commercial interests are involved.
The Eads Company were sure few years
ago that their jetties would fulfill all
requirements. but the result shows how
engineers of undoubted ability can deceive

THE BEET-SUGAR COLONY.

The plans are at last completed for the
colonization, under the direct supervision
of the Salvation Army Colonization
Bureau, of the sugar beet lands of the
Salinas Valley recently acquired by Claus
Spreckels. Having acquired full title
to the Sobranes ranch, near Soledad, con-
sisting of about 700 acres, Mr.. Spreckels
will now place it under the charge
OF the colony founders, and he prom
ises further to aid them by advice
and money. The colonists will have
from eight to ten years to pay for their
holdings, and Mr.. Spreckels will agree to
take all the beets they raise at a stipu-
lated price. A golden opportunity is thus
offered to families which have suffered by
reason of the late period of business de-
preston, but which are nevertheless in
dustrous, willing and capable. There is
far more certainty that, with proper man
agemeat, they will realize a competence
and come into possession of comforta BILE
home and farm, than that nine-tenths of
the people who are focking to the North
west Territory will come home with more
gold than they went away with.
The projectors of the colony intend to
assign 10 each family about ten acres of
land and to provide each settler with all
the farming implements and Supplies
necessary to pursue with thoroughness
the work that will be outlined. Colonists
will raise small fruits and vegetables to
the end that they may become seIf-sup-
porting at the earliest posi- bic time. Each
family will be provided also with an out
tit for poultry-yard.
This colonization enterprise, while it is
laudable in every respect and while it
means a world OF good to scores of worthy
but unfortunate families, is not by any
means 10 be considered in the light of u
charity. It is a business proposition,
pure and simple. The colonists will pay,
on easy terms. for their lands and i'm
proVements; but they will have the bene-
fit OF certain market for their chief
product at rates that will insure them all
an apprecable profit annually over all
land payments and expenses, considering
that they conduct affairs with reasonable
economy.
President Mckinley has expressed him
self as much in favor of the Salinas Val
ley colonization idea and has promised to
lend to it such encouragement as it is in
his power TO give. The Secretary of Agri-
culture Will render every good office in
the scope of his duties to supply aid and
inform alton to the colonists and the sky
is bright with promise for the success of
the excellent project set on foot by the
Salvation Army leaders.

LET THE GATES BE CLOSED.

There Is every indication that the pres
ent Congress will accede to the almost
common demand, particularly among the
laboring classes, and pass a law for the
restriction of immigration to reasonable
limits. One fact which points unmistaka-
bly, that way is the change IN the make
up of the Committee on immigration and
Naturalization.
Congressman Bartholdt Of Missouri, who
was chairman OF that committee in the
last Congress, persistentIy opposed all
measures that proposed to check the tide
of unrestrained immigration. Speaker
Reed did not reappoint Mr.. Bartholdt,
whose successor in the charmanship
is Congressman Danford OF Ohio. a
radical advocate of immigration restric-
ton. In this matter the majority of tn 9
committee is of the same mind as its new
chairman, and Speaker Reed himself is
pronoun cedly in favor of putting up the
bars against foreign pauper4abor. Hence
we may expect some action in the prem
ises at the regular session of the National
legislature which convenes in Decem ber.
We have protection for our industries,
and the same principle should be carried
out regarding the labor supply. The new
tariff law is starting up the mills and
factories, and American labor, which has
suffered long, ought to get the benefits.
We want to see steady work at good
wages, but how can we be assured for the
future if the gates of the country are
thrown down to alien laborers accus-
toned to starvation wages in their native
countries and eager to secure work by un-
derbidding the American, and even bind
ing themselves by slave labor contracts
We want no free trade in labor. We
want to see the bars put up high against
the aliens who C me here to lower the
American wage rate.
The American toiler's prosperity is
threatened, his way of living menaced, bv
the illiterate and paupered foreign ele-
ment which is being transported to our
shores. President Mckinley, in his in
augural message, sounded the keynote to
this subject when he said:
Our naturalization and immigration laws
should be further improved 10 the constant
promotion of q safer better and higher
citizenship. grave peril to the Republic
would be a citizensnipto too ignorant 10 under
stand, or too vicious TO appreciate, the great
value and benefcence of our institutions and
laws-and against all who come here to make
war upon them our gates must be promptly
and tightly closed.
1t is to be hoped that Congress will not
fail to pass strong immigration measure
at the regular session, measure that will
bar out those emigrants who cannot sat
lsiy reasonable educational test and
make the United States safe from inva-
sion by the pauper-la Dor hordes of Europe

THE BICYCLE BLU SH.
New Ynrk Sun.


Some days ago the Sun announced the dis
covery OF new distinction of bicyclists,
which in the furry over cheaper wheels was
comparatively little noticed. 1t is neither de-
formity nor affiiction, and, unlike the bicycle
face, it is not peculiar to men. The women
have it more conspicuously. Whatever may
be said as 10 the actual existence of Ostrich
necks," pigeon toes" knock knees" and
other abnormalities caused by wheeling, the
lately developed "bicycle blush" is real and a
virtue.
1t mustn't be inferred that the bicycle blush
is in the least degree the result of shock, anger
or humiliation. Quite the opposite young
woman may be pinnng along the avenue un-
accompanied and with nothing whatever to
molest her, and at the same time present q
very striking example of the bicycle blush.
Or she may be reclining leisurely at home
after her ride and still possess the bicycle
blush. In fact, wherever she may be 1t will
cling to her.
The blush in question results from the gen.
erous inhaling OF fresh air, from the healthful
exercise OF the body ana from the consequent
free circulation of the blood. Plenty OF life
giving oxygen is responsible for the bicycle
blush, and the best way to produce 1t is TO
mount and roll away

stamps the Canadian Government has only
followed what has now become very general
custom among nations-that is, the creating of
special issues OF postage-stamps as money
making speculation. That these Jubilee
stamps are clearly intended TO become curiosi-

shown by the refusal of the authorities to sell
them except in complete sets.
The only exceptions to this rule are the l.
