Movement for a Railroad to the
Klondyke Country.
Canadian Government is Con.
sidering the Matter.
MONEY CAN BE HAD.
Two Practicable Routes Are
Pointed Out.
Rush to the Mines Continues
Unabated.

San Francisco, July 26.-N. E. Picotte
of the Yukon country who has been in
this city several days, gives an inter-
esting account of the pioneers of that
locality to secure more modern means
of conveyance into the land of the gold
en- fleece.
While at Circle City and Forty Mile
last year. says Picotte, eve seriously
consider d the possibility of securing aid
from the Canadian government to
build a railroad into this district. We
secured as reliable data as We could
and forwarded to Ottawa. Finally an
appropriation of $1,000 was passed by
the parliament and surveyors ordered
to take the field this year. There are
two practicable routes by which this
country might be reached by railroad.
One of these is from a point on the
Canadian Pacific; the other from Dyea.
AS far as we were able to ascertain
neither presents many difficulties. That
from Dyea would be the shorter, for
the reason that only some 80 miles of
road would have to be built, the rest of
the route to the mines being by means
of the river. OF course during the win
ter season, this route would be closed, as
far as the river is concerned. This
route would do away with the difficult
ties of the Chilkat pass in the early
days. 1t would naturally be a closer
means of communication with San
Francisco and for that reason is not
likely to be favored by the Canadian
government.
1.-The other route is about 500 miles
longer, but being entirely within the
dominion of Canada, is likely to receive
earnest consideration at the hands of
the government.
THE moneyed men of that section are
willing to assist any enterprise of this
character which will tend to develop the
country. The attention of the world
has been called to our country and the
idea that naught but fairy tales have
been written about its wealth is being
quickly dissipated."
Port Townsend, Wash, July 26.-The
steamer Mexico has left here with 400
passengers, all except so being bound
for the gold fields. All went well pro-
visioned and equipped. Many have
supplies for a three years stay. The
party was made of men representinq'g
all callings and professions, including
many time-scarred veterans who Joined
the similar rush to the goldfelds in Cali
fornia nearly half century ago.
Seattle, Wash, July 26.-The steamer
City of Topeka, arrived here from
Alaska at o'clock this morning. The
Topeka brought no K1ondyke passen-
gers, no glittering gold, but reports that
the miners are f1ocking towards Dyea
by the score from Juneau and Sitka,
and that both places threaten to be
depopulated.

TOPEKAIN DEBTORS'COURT
Mr.. Boyle Will Sue the City for $780,
900 on Behalf of the State.

Attorney General Boyle will this week
file in the Shawnee county district court
a suit to recover $50, 900 in bonds and in
terest from the city of Topeka. The
bonds are owned by the state school
fund, having been issued some years
ago by outlying school districts which
have since been attached to the city of
Topeka for school purposes.
The bonds when issued by the dis
tricts were sold to the school fund COM
missioners, and payments of interest
and principal promptly made When
the districts We're attached to the city,
payments ceased, and the interest and
principal are now largely in arrears.
To recover both, the attorney general
will bring the suit in which he is now
preparing papers. =.

CARNEGIE BUYING LAND.
After Duke of Sutherland's Property
in North of Scotland.

London, July 26.-Andrew Carnegie is
said to be in a treaty with the Duke of
Sutherland for the purchase of 10000
acres of the dukes vast estate in Suth-
erlandshire, in the extreme north of
Scotland.
The duke is practically the owner of
the whole of Sutherland, two-thirds of
which consists of deer forests, but the
dukes policy has been to break these
up and reclaim them for tenants.

ing great tracts in Scotland and pre-
serving them gor game. removing ev-
erything in the shape of human life is
not going to be emulated by Carnegie,
whose idea is said to be to transform
the land into model estates.
The duke would scarcely take less

NEW FLAG FOR CANADA.
The Proposed Emblem is a British
Flag With Sundry Improvements.

Halifax, July 26-It looks as if the
present Dominion Government has in
prospect the selection of new Cana
dian national flag. A sample flag has
been received by the Admiral from OF
tawa for his opinion. 1t is British
flag with the union in the usual place
and white amond in the field, with
green maple leaf in the diamond.
1t is contended that the Dominion blue
ensign is Incomplete, inasmuch as it
does not contain the arms of the new
provinces; while, on the other hand, it
would be illegal to add the emblem of
any but the original four provinces of
the confederacy.

Letters FromWllllam Stlckney, OF the
Ptary Party.

The Bethel correspondent of The
Age writes:
w. B. c. Stickney did not expect
to hear from his son William after
he left Sydney, N. S., on his Arctic
trip until he returned, but last Sum
day he received a letter from him
written aboard the "Hope," off Tur-
navik, fishing station not far south
of Disko Island on the Greenland
coast. A fishing schooner carried
his letter thence to St. Johns, New
foundland, where it was mailed on
Aug. 20. The travellers were all
well at that of the voyage, and had
seen many icebergs.
Accompanying the letter was
pencil sketch, "The Lee Rail-" by
NJ. Operti, the official artist of the
Peary party. The point of the
sketch consisted IN the pun upon the
name of Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh ]. Lee,
the New England couple who are
making their bridal tour on the
"Hope." They were shown in the
foreground, side by side on the deck
looking down over the rail.
