ENCOURAGEMENT EXPEDITION.
II IL as Well Situated as It's Promote
ers Desire.

PORT TOWNSEND. Dec. 2.-Amons
the returning passengers on the steamer
FaraiIon from the North last night WAS
Dr. McLaraa and l.. Watson. of the Yu-
kon-Humbert expedition. which left the
Sound on the bark Colorado in October.
AS is well known. the Colorado had some
difficulty In getting started with this out
ft ii being necessary 10 stop at this port
to rearrange the cargo Of horses, cattle
ard supplies on board before proceeding.
At that time predictions were freely made
that the expedition, in spite OF the fact
that IL was backed by the banking house
Of Pierre Hurnbert and other financial in
stitutions IN Boston, would not succeed
In working its way through to Dawson
this winter
Mr.. Watson. who is one of the men in
charge of the expedition. and who will re-
turn TO the North as soon as he has trans
acted some important business for the
party. asks that the true state of affairs
about the expedition be published. He
said: THE Yukon-Humbert expedition is
now as we'll situated as could be desired.
We arrived at Pyramid harbor on October
-. an advance party going there to pitch
tents and make preliminary arrangements
for the arrival of the main party These
preliminary arrangements included the
survey of a route for a railroad. which Ia
being backed by the same set OF capital
lists, and may say that this survey party
mas now completed Its work to the summit
Of the Chilkat trail. a distance Of about
Twenty-Five miles. The survey Is 70 bs
completed 10 Fort Selkirk and thence to
Dawson, via the Dalton trail The survey
Is SO far entirely satisfactory, and a wharf
site. trading posts and dwelling sites have
oeen located at Pyramid harbor and
Haynes mission. where other railroad
companies, including the Canadian Pa
cine and the representative of the Ro,bs-
chiids. are only just beginning TO locate.
our Yukon expedition experienced soma

LETTERS BOOST TO WHEAT.
1T HAS BEEN WORTH AN ENORMOUS
AMOUNT TO FARMERS.

minister "a severe Squeeze to the

CHICAGO, Dec 2e.-Friday. which will
witness the close of the great Letter deal
in wheat on the board of trade, bids fair
TO prove a memorable day in the trade.
No great excitement is expected in the
wheat pit. but in oats Il squeeze of shorts
may occur.
1.-The wheat deal of my son has brought
TO the farmers of the United States 10 or
10 cents more for their wheat than If he
had not gone into It," said T.. Il. Letter
today, in talking of the great battle be-
tween Joseph Letter. on the. one side and
the elevator companies on the other
my son has been the benefactor or the
agricultural industries OF the country to
that extent. The seller Is now debating
the price or his product, not the purchaser.
Chicago makes the market price of wheat.
not Liverpool And the local influences
which have been so long for constantly
lower prices have ceased to control the
Chicago markets"
The first purchases of wheat by Joseph
Letter We're made in July last at Ga cents.
The price for real wheat. such as the far
mer sells has been between 80 cents and
81 for several days. This makes n total
advance since July OF about 25 cents. Lei
ter. ST.. gives to the ordinary course of the
markets credit for between 20 and % cents
of the rise. The remainder he attributes
to the substantial support given to prices
by Letter. ir., during the last six months.
1t is believed that Mr.. Letter has been
turning a trick on trade in oats, while
everybody was watching wheat. For weeks
the oats pit has been practically deserted.
Last week there was a disagreeable sur
prise TO the men who had sold 6.Od1 600
bushels of oats for December delivery
when they learned that no oats were being
delivered. Then they awoi1e to the fact
that In all the Chicago elevators oats
measured but $4,000 bushels of the con-
tracting trade. a cent advance in oats IS
as good as 4 or cents in wheat. 1t is
TO late to rush in supply to meet tho
calls which will be made for the grain at
The close of business on Friday. Those who
have not delivered the grain according to
contract viii be called upon to settle ut
the closing price. The situation has all the
clements of a SnueNza

CUBE ROOT MADE EASY.
How Any Bright scholar May Learn ts
 Tell It 0Ahand.


 How Any Bright Scholar May Learn ts
 Tell It 0nhand.
 To find the cube root of any given number of figures offhand seems an al. most impossible feat but yet it k sim. pie enough when one knows how to do it--so simple, indeed, that any bright boy can learn to do it in q few weeks.
 First he must know exactly what a cube is-- namely, that it is the result of multiplying one uumber by itself and then multiplying the product by the original number Thus, multiplied by equals 9. and g multiplied by 8, the original number, produces 27. which consequently is the cube of 3 The cube root of 27 is the original number, 3, and to find the cube root is the reverse of finding the cube The would be adept at this art should first study carefully the following figures:
 I>111<l= ! 25<2%2=z s 85t3Z;.== 9 s<4><4== G 5>5x5=l25 G5<6><6=2lG 72<7><a-S43 8><8%8=5l2 9>z9x9=z72G
 A close study of these figures shows that multiplied in lhis manner by it. self results ill s, that multiplied by itself has as final figure, that mul- dplied by itself has as final figure, that multiplied by itself has as q final figure, and that 1, 3, 6 and mul- tiplied by themselves have their origi- nal figures as finals Hence the artist knows that any sum given to him the final figure of which is must have 9 as q cnbo root; that if the final figure be 3, the cube root mnSt be 9, and so on.
 For example, give him the figures FLOSS, and he can at once tell that 12 is the cube root, for tho reason that "A has as q cube root, as the cube of is 64, while the cube of : is 125, much more than il, and 088 has as cube root
 Or give him more difficult problem, as, for example, the figures 324. .369. Then he will see at glance that 324 is more than 2l6, which is the cube of 6. but is less than 343, the cube of [ Therefore the cube root of these three figures k G In like manner the final figure of 369 being 9. itfollows that the cube root of these three figures is 2, and thus the cube root of the six figures has been shown to be G9
 Any one can test this method for himself, and little practice is all that is needed 10 make one as delft ill such jugglery of figures as the best light. ming calculator
 Of course skilled arithmctician could easily frame problems that could not be solved in this offhand fashion, but such difficult tests are seldom offered by public audiences. and. as a rule, the artists aie easily able to answer all the questions asked of them. -New York Herald
