and 2.20O miles above the mouth of the

asked for to support the civil authori

be marched over the Dyea overland
route to the post, which VIII be erected
by contract for the government use if
desired, but this win be impossible, in
view of the fact that the British law,
like our own. would not hermit the
passage of foreign troops over British
territory without special permission.
Therefore, the troops will be carried up
the Yukon in a steamer if the govern
ment consents to create a post. There
is some doubt of the power of the
president to establish a post as pro-
posed without congressional authori-
cation, and that aspect of the question
has been brought to the attention of
the attorney general for an opinion.

ding with picturesque effect.
Something, too, is due the paper for
which she wrote, which, recognizing
her talent, gave her pen free scope.
Under this generous and beneticent
regime Mrs. Peattie proved her mettle
right worthily. She did reporting, edi-
torial, special and department. work; she
took up the charitable, educational and
progressive work Of the city, advancing
them so ably that she became a recog-
nized factor in forming sentiment ON
subjects relating to the public schools,
literature, benevolence, reform and va
rious matters of public moment. SO
marked has her influence in these direc-
tions been that she is known in the west
not less as the writer of charming west
ern tales than as prominent and tire
less philanthropist
Mrs. Peattie's popularity led to her
election as president OF the Woman s
club of Omaha, an organization which
in three years achieved membership OF
500 and q prospective clubhouse for the
current year.
From this position Mrs. Peattie re-
signed not long since, owing to the fact
that Mr.. Peattie was to return to Chi
cago to represent several eastern news
papers.
Mrs. Peattie's sympathy with human
nature, her delicate yet clear cut han

pertaining writer, and in certain quail
ties she compares well with such writers
as Hamlin Garland, Mary Halleck Foot'
