The resolution was as follows:

John H. Smith. United States COM

Juneau, says: There are 500 people
now at Dyea waiting to get over the
pass, and there are several more
steamer loads on the way. The Indian
packers and the pack animals have all
the freight they can carry to the lakes
by the time winter sets in, and hun

pendent at that"
There is no truth in the report that
the Northern Pacific company has re-
fused to grant leave of absence to their
employees. Railway officials say they
have plenty of men to handle all their
business. The street car companies,
however, are having some trouble. as
many of their employees have gone to
the Klondlke country.

Philadelphia, Aug. b.-The League Of
American .Wheslmen meeting surRasses
the expectations at the projectors. and
promises to eclipse all former meets.
1t is said that at the last meeting,
which was held In Louisville, fewer
members were in attendance than the
number who registered at the Arena in
one day. The stream of visitors yes
terday seemed to be endless. They
came from every direction and formed
in long lines and patiently waited to
secure their credentials.
From the way in which new members
have been secured. Pennsylvania bids
fair to outstrip New York state, and
hold the honor of largest membership
in the league, Several enthusiastic
members stood outside the building,
and when they spied cut any of their
friends who were not members, they
at once seized them and marched them
up to the clerks desk. The work of
registering went on steadily, and at
noon yesterday the number had reach
ed nearly 5000.

Bon, stockman just in from near the

paint and says an uprising of the In
dams is feared. Gibson says the In
dams are greatly stirred up over the
death Of their chief Qunah Parker, and
will no; be paciiied. 1t is unsafe, he
says, for the whites to enter the reser-
walton. There are between 5000 and TO-, =
Geo Indians on this reservation, but
they are poorly armed so far as is
known. There is believed to be about
one gun to every 80 Indians.

One of the most important points in
maintaining soil fertility il to keep the
soil in condition to absorb and retain
water. American Cultivator explains:
The effect Of continued cultivation Is to
expose tho surface soil to tho depth CT
the furrow to light. air and rains.
These wash away the Lighter PARTICLES
Of soil, which are always tho remains
of decomposed vegetable matter. When
this is out Of the soil, lis mineral ele-
ments soon become compactea, so that
even blowing only breaks them into
clods. If tho subsoil also be heavy, that
should be subsoiled at least onco in four
or five years. This subsoiling is partio-
ularly important as a preparation fer
clover seeding. When We began UNDER
draining, more than 40 years ago, tho
notable fact at first was the extra heavy
clover growth just over the line CT tina
drain. Yet without doubt for several
feet each side Of the drain tie water
was drawn off as thoroughly as whero
the drain ran. Afterward we learned
that subsoiling after draining extended
this beneficial effect to the Glover over
the whole surface, between the drains
as well rs over them.
