DRUGGIST FINED.
George Buckler Held to Have ViOlat-
ed Court Order.

Judge Cox, sitting in Equity Court No. 1,
today fined George Buckler of the Anacos-
tia Drug Company $50 for violating an in
junction granted several weeks ago by the
court in which the Anacostia Drug Com
pany were restrained from preparing and
using a certain label in imitation of one
used by the Centaur Company of New
York. the manufacturers of "castoria,'' a
well-known remedy for children. Conrad
Weis. the other member of the Anacostia
Drug Company, was relieved of any re-
sponsibi:ity for the infringement, the court
holding that he had purged himself of
conten pit by showing that he withdrew
from Buckler In the matter.
In disposing of the matter today Judge
Cox remarked that Buckler, after discor-
tinuing the use of the label first complain
ed of by the Centaur Company, prepared
and used another, which later one made
1t impossible for the general public to dis
tirguish between it and that used by the
New York company, it appearing to the
court that out of twelve features of the
label used by the latter company the one
last complained of contained all but two.
Its use was, therefore, said Judge Cox,
clear violation of the injunction granted
by him and also of the rights of the Cen
taur Company, and one which deceived the
general purchasing public.

MATTER OF RAPID TRANSIT.
Congress Heights Citizens Discus
New Railways Prospects.

New Railways Prospects.
A special meeting of the Congress
Heights Citizens Association was held Sat
friday evening to consider matters of inter-
est relative to the progress made by the
Capital Railway Company in the compile
ton of it's underground system within the
city limits. and regarding the painting of
the outside of the new public school build
ing in the village.
After hearing the report of the railroad
committee on the subject first named, the
announcement was made that the under
ground system is practically completed,
and that in gettirg the line ready for
travel not nearly Sc much time has been
so far occupied by the Capital Railway
Company in solving the problem of rapid
uensit on that lire as was consumed by
either the Capital Traction or Metropoli-
tan Railway Companies in attaining the
same object. each of which, it was stated,
experimental for several years before de-
termining upon a system which proved to
be successful, and that what has been ac-
complished in six weeks by special work
usually requires as maLy months to COM
plete.
The committee on school houses reported
a resolution which was adopted, condemn
ing the manner In which the outside of the
new public school house has been COM
pleted and requesting the Commissioners
to visit Congress Heights end inspect the
work before they accept it.

winter as is reported. There will undoubt-
eoly be great suffering but the miners who
nave food will have to share with those
who have not. This will work hardship,
but Will probably prevent loss Of life.
The experiences OF those who have at
tempted to get to the Klondike by steamer
up the Yukon this year have proved the
impracticability of that route. The swift
current. shallow water. changing channel
and scarcity of fuel combine to make the
route dangerous and slow. The steamers
which were counted on to get food into the
klondike had succeeded in reaching Fort
Yukon at last reports. AS this is less than
GU miles down the river from Dawson
City. there Is general belief that If it is
impossible to get the supplies further up
the river than Fort Yukon, large numbers
or the miners will go down on the ice and
winter there.
The Gold Discovcries
Not only do believe that the stories of
tremendous gold deposits in Alaska are
true. but 1 believe the half has not yet been
told. The one strike in the Klondike dis
trict, unknown until this spring. has caused
all the sensation There have been several
rich strikes this summer. which show as
good returns and richer promise than the
klondike did year ago. One of these is
on Munook creek, in United States terri
tory, nearly seven hundred miles down the
river from the Klondike. Munook creek
furnishes an example of the luck which Is
so large factor In Alaska mining. Some
of those who made the biggest strikes there
ore 'tenderfeet who went by way of st.
Michaers rather than endure the hardships
Of trip over the pass. The low water in
the Yukon made 1t impossible for them to
reach the Klondike. They were forced to
winter at Munook creek and located claims
which now promise great wealth.
'The fact that the two big strikes of
the year are so far apart indicates that
there is still room for other discoveries of
gold; that the entire Yukon basin Is well
worth prospecting, and will yield fabulous
returns.
Gains without Going.
Il have been greatly tempted to go to the
Yukon, and have many friends who have
given up their business and taken to pick
and shovel. pack train and camp life. But
l consider that a man who has a good
business is foolish to risk that and his
health besides two years of his time. The
chances are against success in that coun-
try, but If a man makes a strike the re-
turns arc phenomenal. My way of avoid
ing going myself and yet of gaining the
same results is to grubstake two reliable
men for two years, which / can do at an
expense of $1,000. This gives me a one
half interest in the entire earnings or
proflts OF each. or as much as could posi-
bly, get II went myself. Plenty of good
men who are accustomed to that life are,
glad to go on such a basis"

STARVATION IN ALASKA.
"What can congress do to get food
to Alaska this winter?'
81 don't know" replied Senator Will
son. 81 suppose the question will come
up just as soon as congress meets
through a letter from the secretary of
war. According to my reports, the
people at Dawson City. are in a bad
way. They have not enough provisions
to last them for more than two-thirds
of the winter, and new arrivals are
coming in at the rate of 100 day over
the trail Those who come have in
many cases only enough food to last
them until they get to Dawson, and
there are 1000 people there now The
trouble has been in the low waters of
the Yukon. The summer is very short
and, altogether, less than 1000 tons of
provisions were brought in. Toward
the last of the season the Yukon was
so low that the ships could not get
over the bars, and there are now seven
vessels scattered along the Yukon

where does all the money come
from, senator?'
1.-The amount I have been speaking
of is from the soil alone. A great deal
of it came from wheat. I know one
man who got 100000 for his wheat crop.
That man last year was thinking of
selling his farm to pay the mortgages
on it. He did not expect 1t to bring
much more than his Indebtedness. He
has now paid all that he owes and has
money in the bank. In the county of
Sherman, Oregon, there are only 100
voters, and that county produced over
1900, 900 bushels Of wheat this year. We

LUMBER IN THE NORTHWEST.
"How about the lumber market?
1.-The lumber men are making money
all over the West. We have in Oregon
and Washington the bulk of the best
lumber of the country. We are now eX
porting millions of dollars worth of
it every year. The lumber is shipped
by sea to South America, Asia and
Europe and around the Horn to the
United States Our single trade has
never been so good. We sent 924,0O0,000
shingles east last September, or enough
to give five shingles to every inhabi
tant of the United States. In the last
nine months we have sent about seven
times that many. AS a result Of the
grain and lumber shipments, the rail-
roads have had more than they could
do. There is no lack of work in Wash
ipgton now. 1 am told that 100000
will be paid in wages for lumber men
and wood workers this year"
A TRUE FISH STORY.
"How about the fish,"
1.-THE salmon crop this year has been
exceptionally large We have pulled
$5,OO0,0O0 out Of the water, and Oregon
has also done an enormous business Of
the same kind. There are salmon can
neries on all the rivers about Puget
sound and on the Columbia river. There
are so many salmon IN some parts of
the Columbia river that they use fish
wheels to catch them. These wheels
are something like the water wheels
Of grist mill, save that they have
wire basket nets attached to the outer
rim of the wheel, so that they strike
the water, and. going down, scoop up
the salmon which are running up the
river AS the wheel turns it throws
