ONE DOLLAR PER POUND
FOR PROVISIONS AT DAWSON
All Kinds of Supplies at Dawson
Commands the Same Ftsure-The
Food to Be Had Only From Re-
cent Arrivals.

Seattle, Dee. ia letter to the Asso-
clated Press from skaguay, Alaska, dated
December IL, gives the following adition-
al news brought from Dawson by Joe
hastner and George McLachlan of Hell
ena, Mont, who left Dawson November 3.
When they left Dawson they were ac-
companied by Pat Holland of Butte.
Mont, and William King of Los Angeles.
Cal. Each man had a sled and an outfit
OF about l40 pounds, which included pro-
visions and blankets. After travelling 40
miles up the river Kastner and McLach-
Ian abandoned their sleds, and with 100
pounds each on their backs continued
their journey, leaving Holland and King
behind, they having determined to stick
to their sleds. George Ruth of Flathead
Mont, was overtaken at Fort Pellv, with
his feet badly frozen, but he was being
cared for.
Major Walsh will have to remain in his
present quarters until the river is frozen
sufficiently to permit him to continue his
journey. Although the river was open
all the way up, Kastner believes that it
would soon be frozen solid. as the river
was full of anchor ice
Between Fort Pelly and Dawson Kast-
ner saw six boats, each containing five
men, floating down the river with the ice.
Their position was dangerous in the ex-
treme and it was impossible to render
them any assistance.
Provisions at Dawson were to be had
only from the recent arrivals, who had
some to spare. The prevailing price was
81 per pound for everything purehasable.
from a sack of flour to a pick or frying
pan.
"Will there be starvation in Dawson
this Winter?' Mr.. Kastner was asked.
That is hard question" he said S'If
the people are put upon rations there will
IN my opinion be enough food to tide over
the winter or until supplies can arrive:
and there will be no actual suffering from
want of food"
country to examine the old diggings, with
a view to reworking them. He found
that the drifts filled with water and were
soon transformed into solid beds of ice
making reworking at present impractic-
able. but he states that fully one third
Of the gold is lost by the method now enl-
ployed in mining in the Klondike district
He estimates that the amount of gold
that will be taken out of the district this
winter will be between $2,OOO,OO0 and So
100000. Ten millions could easily be tax
en out but for the scarcity of light. Can,
Dies and coal oil are extremely scarce, and
some miners are trying to work their
claims in complete darkness.

WILL SEND CONDENSED FOOD.
Secretary AIger Sends to Norway for
Reindeer.

Washington, Dec. 2l.-Secretary Al
ger has cabled to William Akellmann,
chief government reindeer herder, who is
now in Alien, Norway, to inform the
war department Immediately how soon
600 reindeer can be shipped to this coun-
try
These are wanted for use as draft ami
mails in getting supplies to the miners
in the klondike region. 1t is expected
they must be transferred at New York
to railroads, and in that manner carried
across the continent and again by sea
from the Pacific coast up to Dyea or some
other point that may be selected as the
base Of operations.
Secretary Alger has determined. after
advising with the medical officers of the
war department. and persons who have
had much experience in arctic regions, to
make large use Of condensed food prep
arations; not only will meats be in the
most concentrated form, but particular
efforts are being made to secure condens-
ed preparations of vegetables, such as po-
tatoes and onions.
The state department has already ask
the Canadian government permission to
pass their stores through Canadian terri
tory free of duty

sentatives was held at the National hotel

direct legislation or by the subterfuge of
refusing to reissue the same except in
exchange for gold.

scheme Of enlarging the powers of nation
al banks; that we oppose the comforting
Of the power to issue notes, designed to
have the same functions as money, to any
bank, corporation or individual.
"Resolyed, That we favor the early con-
sideration and passage of a joint resolu-
ton recognizing the independence of the
Cuban republic.

early passage Of an equal but voluntary
bankruptcy bill.''

DALTON ON RELIEF PARTIES
Hardy Horses Cnn Do Even Better
Work Than Reindeer.

Seattle, Dec. 2l-Jack Dalton the we'll
known Alaskan prospector, after whom
the Dalton trail is named, in an interview
speaking Of the proposed relief expedition
of the United States government to Alas
ka. said
"The proposal to use reindeer teams
does not strike me as being the right
thing. Horses can be used to much bet
ter advantage. Instead Of reindeer, the
department ought to get together a large
number Of hardy horses, and sufficient
food should be taken along to feed them

then down the lakes and the Yukon river

IDAHO ANTI-GAMBLING LAW.
Supreme Court Decides That the
State Can Not Appeal.

| Boise, Dee 22.-For the second time all

Justice Quarles the court held that it had
no jurisdiction in the case of the State

to appeal from the decision in favor of
the defendant. In this case the defen-
dant was tried in the probate court and

specifying upon what grounds the state

ton 8, article 5, of the constitution, which
says:
''The supreme court shall have j,risdic-

RECOGNIZED AS A CHURCH
Christian Science Treatment of Dis
ease II Violation of Law.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. l7.-As q result
of the recent decision of Presiding JUDGE
Pennypacker OF the court of common
pleas, refusing to grant charter to the
First Church of Christ of Christian Scien-
lists, bill is to be introduced into the
next session OF the legislature, amending
the laws relating to schools of medicine
so as to admit of the recognition of the
Christian Scientists as a portion of the
healing fraternity, although as distinct
sect or society, very much as the homeo-
pathists or eclectics are recognized as dis
tinct from the allopat tbs.
The decision of Judge Pennypacker.
which is likely to be used as text book
by the schools of science opposed to
Christian Science, in the conflicts that
sooner OF later are bound to occur in nu-
merous states, was not arrived at until he
had dlgested mass of testimony taken
before master in chancery. During these
hearings many witnesses testified that
under no circumstances would they allow
a doctor to attend any member Of their
family, and that even in the case of tri-
chinosis, which is caused by animalculae
breeding in the body and feeding in the
muscles, they would depend upon faith
rather than upon external means of kill
ing such animalculae or rendering them
harmless
In his decision Judge Pennypacker
takes the ground that Christian Science
is church rather than school of medi-
cine, Notwithstanding Mrs. Eddys declar-
alton that the treatment extends to the
most serious and fatal diseases, and hence
he holds that the treatment of disease by
'healers'' of the church for fees and com
pensation is in direct violation of the law
regulating the practice of medicine

SENATOR CHANDLER PREDICTS
In Case That Secretary Gage Pur-
sues His Financ cfaI Policy

Washington, Dec Ex-senator Chand-
ler Of New Hampshire has written let
ter to the Washington Post, in which he
says:
IT the Secretary of the treasury and
his gold standard associates will cease
their demand for impossible currency leg
islation, congress will pass the necessary
appropriation bills, probably take care of
Hawaii and Cuba there will not be Sc
rious party division during the session,
and there will be an adjournment.
IF Secretary Gage continues to press
upon congress a bill the object of which
he says is first to commit the country
more thoroughly to the gold standard and
the immediate result of which is to throw
doubts upon the sincerity of the presi-
dents declarations in favor of continued
efforts to secure bimetallism, a political
turmoil will arise in congress which will
split the now united republican party into
fragments while it will unite and consoli-
date the now homogeneous opposition. 1t
is not feasible to retire the greenbacks
and there is more probability that bill
will be sent to the president to increase
their amount
1T is not possible to secure the passage
through either house of bill making the
greenbaeks into gold notes or authorizing
bonds payable in gold. The effort to do
either thing will probably result in the
passage Of a bill for the redemption of the
greenbacks in silver dollars and for the
payment of all United States bonds in
gold or silver coin, in the discretion Of the
president, who will be commanded to ex-
ercise his option for the advantage Of the
government, and not for the advantage
of the creditors"

BAD sLEET STORM IN TEXAS.
Dallas.

st. Louis, Dec. 2O--One of the worst
slect storms in the history of Texas pre-
vailed in the state yesterday. 1t is inn
possible tonight to get any information
whatever from Dallas, the center of the
storm section, as the wires are down. AS
showing the extent Of the storm, the tele
graph companies can get no nearer Dallas
on the south than Waco, Marshall on the
east, Eagle Pass on the west, and some
points in the southern part of the Indian
territory ON the north, showing that it
covered several hundred miles of territory.
The wires work no further than those
points and it is thought the destruction
has been heavy Linemen have been or
dered from all parts of Texas to repair
the damage. Nothing further can be learn
ed from the storm district to show wheth
er damage had been done to anything
other than the wires.
