A Reindeer Express.

1t is proposed to substitute reindeer

that reindeer stations should be es.

been to arrange a reindeer express

the Boring straits to Kodiac Island
This arrangement once completed, il
will be possible for business compan.

to hold communication with theil

SPEEDY EXECUTION FOR THEFT
The first execution in the Klondike
district took place a few days before
the Utopia sailed, which brought the
news, arriving at Seattle Monday.
The victim was a Frenchman named
Pierre, and the tragedy occurred on
the Skaguay trail. at point where a
party of prospectors had, after great
hardship packed their goods over the
worst part of the route, at cost of $50
per hundred. The articles that were
stolen were a sack of flour and 100
pounds of bacon. 1t was found in
possession of the Frenchman, buried
in his shack, from which he was taken
by committee of six vigilantes, tied to
a pole and riddled with bullets. His
body was left in that position three
days as a warning, and was then placed
on the ground and covered with a pile
of rocks which stands as a mute re.
minder of the certainty and effective
ness of frontier justice.

A New Way Of SHINING Cat"

His accidency, accompanied by his
board of" control"-with an accent on
the word control - started out last
week on junketing expedition to
the several institutions over which they
under direction of the Podhead, are
supposed to exercise supervisory con-
troll. This trip will take about two
weeks and will include visits to the
the Eastern and Western Hospitals
for the Insane, the Reform School,
Soldiers Home and the Penitentiary
at Walla Walla. 1t may seem strange
to the uninitiated that the board
should take this trip when there is ap-
parently no money in sight from
which they can reimburse themselves
for the outlay. The law creating
the board states that they shall serve
without compensation, and the legis-
lature neglected to appropriate any,
thing for their travelling or other ex-
penses. This even includes the travel
ling auditor and clerk of the board.
Under an opinion of the Attorney
General of recent date, however, the
difficulty has been gotten over by levy
ing the total expense of the board,
clerks and secretary, pro rata, on the
various institutions of which they
have control, and the same is
taken from the maintenance fund OF
these institutions on which fund war
rants are issued by the auditor to the
board direct, and also to the travelling
auditor, Ernest Lister, and M. M.
Holmes, clerk of the board on
practically the same ground that the
former trustees and directors were en-.
abled to get mileage and per diem. 1t
will be seen from this that there are
many expedients by which the plain
provision of law may be evaded. In
other words, "Where there's a will
there's a way"

a Tribute to " Pollv,"

Many visitors to the Office OF the
STANDARD, the past few years, will re-
member the bright parrot which occu-
pied his perch in the composing room,
and greeted everybody with Il friendly
" Hello" which ii the mood suited
him was followed by a display of varied
accomplishments such as cackling,
growing and whistling, interspersed
with such comments as Poor Polly"
" Polly wants a cracker" Polly wants
to come down." and similar express
sions OF self-conscious appreciation.
That there was some degree Of reason
that prompted Polly's utterances, is
shown by the fact that he invariably
bid Goodbye" on departure of visi-
tors, and his greeting was always
" Hello" Another use of the word
Goodbye" was to rid the office OF
bores," service in which the bird
seemed to take a peculiar delight. II
anybody stayed longer than Polly
thought was necessary, he began ut
tering the word Goodbye" with an
emphasis and directncss that left no
doubt of either its meaning or applica-
ton.
Poor Polly is dead. He died Satur-
day morning, after several weeks of
suffering from a swelling or excres.
cence that grew in his throat. Every
thing possible was done for him, but
Esculapian skill has not achieved the
triumphs in dealing with the brute
creation as with the human frame,
and Polly had to suffer on till death
came to his relief.
Nobody can fully realize the magni-
tude of the loss of a cherished pet I'M
til it is experienced in reality. The
deep affection displayed by the brute
creation, which is generally in proper
ton to their intelligence, commands q
reciprocal love, and almost unknown
to ourselves the tendrils of the heart
reach out and entwine them in endur-
ing letters. The love of dumb ami
mails, displayed by their acts, indicates
depth of feeling that rivals the affec-
ton of humanity, and when this SEN
timent is expressed by words, as we'll
as fondling acts, as with the parrot, it
approaches very much to human love.
Polly was an entertaining compan-
ion. He was the first to greet all the
members of the editors family by
name in the morning and the last to
say goodbye at night. His reward was
kind treatment, which he seemed to
accept as full equivalent for his best
endeavors to act we'll his little part.
In death, the affection of his daily as
sociates found expression in q burial
in a silk-lined casket, garnished with
flowers, in the family plat, in Odd
Fellows Cemetery.

It's said you have no hope, Polly,
OF life beyond the grave;

Thirty Thousand Starving.

At meeting held in Lebanon, In
diana, last Monday, Thomas J. Ter
hume, made statement of the condi-
ton of the miners as he found it
while making an investigation as
Gov. Mounts special commissioner.
He said:
There are 5000 families in this
State in restitution. Thirty thousand
people who are literally starving. A
few years ago they received $1.25 per
ton; now the average price paid is about
So cents per ton. A good miner can
make 81 day and is allowed to work
two or three days each week. They
are compelled to trade at company stores
and the prices they pay are left entirely
to the mine operators. The miners
admit that they cannot live upon the
present scale Of wages"
A subscription for a relief fund was
Immediately started.

The timber is in special demand in
winter, when the snow and ice has to
be thawed to get down to the subsoil,
and the fire will consume about all
the dry growth suitable for firewood
in the district. The fire originated
from care]essness of miners in not ex-
tinguishing their camp-fres when
they have started out prospecting.

Remarkable Journalistic Feats.

The Eran,iner-Journal got splen-
did "scoop" on all other papers, on
the arrival of the steamship Portland,
i'll the Straits, last Sunday; Hearst's
boat crew received the letters from his
correspondents in the mining region
and reached telegraph station in
advance of all competitors. This was
done by simply steering for the near.
est telegraph station, while the Asso-
ciated Press boat went to Seattle, pre-
sumably the nearest point where ex-
pert operators could be employed for
the extraordinary service required.
They were blissfully ignorant of the
fact that Hearst had secured expert
operators at the smaller offices, who
were prepared to transmit many thous-
ands of words at lightning speed.
Both telegraph and telephone were
employed to expedite the service, and
the result was that the N. Y. Journal
scooped all competitors, and the En-
anainer was likewise partially success
full, and would have been wholly so
had it not been for trick played by
the Gala Diamond Cut Diamond"
dodge-whereby part OF the Hearst
report, secured by the service of
dozen able correspondents maintained
by him on the Yukon, appeared in
Sunday mornings Call, simultan-
eously with its publication in the
Examiner.
This remarkable feat was accomp-
lished by taking advantage of the diff
ference in time between New York
and San Francisco. The Calls repre-
sentative in New York was able on
Sunday morning in that city, which
comes four hours earlier than in San
Francisco, to obtain copy of the
Journal, extract the pith from the
Alaska correspondence and telegraph
it to the Call in time for simultaneous
publication with the Examiner, Sum
day morning in San Francisco. The
result was that Joaquin Miller's let
tiers appeared verbatim in the rival
paper. Had little judgment been
exercised, by clothing the facts in diff
ferent verbiage, the Examiner would
not have been able to show so clear
case of cribbing.
But then, it is only case of fair
business competition, and when the
Journal sold the information to its
readers for one cent-the price of
copy OF the paper-it transferred with it
its right tor the same as news mat
ter, unless an almost impossible COM
pliance with the forms of the copy
right law were invoked for protection.

MRS. Mary Holmes, one of the

A WONDERFUL ExPLosIvE.-It is
said that a couple of young men in
Chicago have discovered an explosive
SO powerful that it will work a revolu-
ton in naval warfare and materially
modify all military operations by land
or sea. 1t is called mirex, and it is
claimed that a cylinder eight inches
long and three inches in diameter,
filled with (which is neither liquid,
solid nor powder - will blow into
atoms the largest warship, and the
cost not exceed $50, against $500 for
the less effective results of the most
powerful torpedo. Mr.. Daley, one of
the discoveries is only 10 years of age,
and was once connected with the U. s,
navy.
