SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2S.-The

hundred teachers, including many from
Oregon and Washington, have already

Among the notable visitors is DR.. An

Thursday evening he will speak on the

ifornia, by Mayor James D. Phelan;
music. by the Philomel quartet; address
of welcome on behalf Of the San Fran

country they would probably reach
Alaska in time to accomplish the de-
sired object, and If they could reach
Alaska they would undoubtedly be Of
great assistance in the work. The diff
deer transported
DIR. Nansen said the moss on which the
reindeer lived was about the only food
they would eat and they would starve
before they would eat much of anything
else. They had sometimes tried to eat
bread, but not very successfully. While
there is an abundance of moss in Nor
way, he thought it would be impossible
to gather it in such quantities as would
be necessary for the feeding of 500 deer
in transportation from Norway to Alas
| ka. The deer themselves seemed to know
how to gather it better than human be-
| ings. He believes that If so reindeer
were shipped from Norway it would be
impossible to keep more than a small
percentage of them alive until Alaska
should be reached.
| According to his opinion, Iceland
horses would be better for this work, for
they would subsist on moss of the Arc
| tic regions and also on hay or other pro-
vender. They were also hardy and would
do the work after they reached Alaska
almost as we'll as the deer. 1t would be
much easier to transport them, he said.
TOWN SITE CLAIMS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-A decision
of much Importance has been made by
Commissioner Hermann of the general
land Office affecting the town of Dyea,
| Alaska. The townsite is claimed by
Healy & Wilson under the general law
allowing 100 acres in Alaska for manu-
featuring and trading purposes. These
parties claim to have made their loca-
ton long prior to any adverse right.
The commissioner rejected the applica-
ton for patent on number of grounds
and says that the survey of the claim
was not regularly made. He says that
new survey is therefore necessitated
and that the case will come up on it's
merits.

COMPLETE SUCCESS
Claimed for the Campaign Against
the Afridis

Claimed for the Campaign Against
the Afridis
LONDON, Dec. ga dispatch from
Peshawar says:
'"The British columns have returned
from Khyber pass, after Furnishing, with
slight opposition, the Zakka Khels in the
Bazaar valley. Military operations on
the frontier are now concluded. Every
Afridi and Orakzai valley has been Wis
tied.
1T now appears that the enemy's loss
has been more severe than was at first
believed, and out of all proportion to it's
possible fighting strength. Their trade
with our centers for the necessaries Of
life has been closed and the autumn TIL
lage prevented. The complete submis-
sion Of the Orakzais is now accom-
plished.
Many hitherto unknown strategical
frontier routes have been surveyed and
mapped out. The vaunted prestige Of
the Afridis has been lowered and their
punishment has paved the way for the
permanent settlement Of the country. It
Is firmly believed that, cut off from In
dia and threatened with a reinvasion of
their country in the spring, they will
now submit. 1t is also expected that the
internal friction resulting from the op-
erations will prove almost as severe a
punishment as the operations them
selves"
