Lots of men with money, who can pay
any sort of price for hotel accommo-
dations, will go to hotel where Reed.
Mckinley and similar men stop. and
hence the hotel proprietors make spe-
cial rates for distinguished guests.
Senator Mason, of Illinois-bright.
brainy. rotund and jolly BILLY Mason"
as his friends still term him-has
brought his family with him, and will
keep house. During his several terms
as a member of the house of representa-
tives Senator Mason lived here with his
family. He is home-loving man, and
home-loving men are generally coun-
try-loving, patriotic men.
Senator Spooner. of Wisconsin, has
taken a residence here. and will have
his family with him. When he was in
the senate before he lived in pretty
little palatial place on Capitol hill, very
near the big marble building in which
all national legislation is framed and
fashioned. He is a successful lawyer
and business man, and will never hear
the wolf at the door; hence he can af
ford to live in ease. comfort and luxury.
Senator Burrows. of Michigan, has
rented modest little house on Massa-
chusetts avenue, where he will reside
with his wife during the session OF
congress. Senator Burrows was MEM
Der of the house of representatives for
20 years, and yet when he was elected
to the senate he was a poor man. He is
now unable to make any social displays,
but plods along the pathway of states
manship with decorum and dignity.
Senator Gear, of Iowa, has been in
public life for 40 years or more, and he
is poor man to-day. He does not live
in a hotel, but has small apartments in
a comfortable house, where he lives in
unpretentious quietude with his de-
voted wife. They have been travelling
life's pathway together for nearly half
a century, and they are inseparable
companions. Mrs. Gear rides to the
capitol every day with her husband. and
she says that she is prouder every day Of
"Old John Henry" and more fond Of
him.
Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, lives
at the Arlington hotel. He has only
been a member of the senate for two
years. and has already become dissat-
isfied with the position. He announces
that he will not be candidate to sue
coed himself, because he cannot afford
to spend his time in legislating. He is
a lawyer, and has been one of the most
successful men in his profession. But
as member of the senate he cannot
consistently represent corporations,
and hence he has lost his law practice.
He cannot live on his salary as SEN
ator, and there 'te is losing money all
the time.

The power plant which supplies cur

It is located just east OF the Camden

Large additions have recently been
made to the electric plant and it is now
capable of furnishing 5000 kilowatts or
1000 horsepower in electric power and
about 1,15o horsepower for the light

are not always in service and the de-

Der of Alaska, significant at this time
in view of the Klondike excitement.
Following is a summary of action taken
relating to places conspicuously men
toned in the gold stories: As to Klon-
dixie, the decision is to spell it as here
given and not Clondyke, Klondyke,
Chandike or Deer, Reindeer. Thorndike,
nor Thron Quick. One of the lakes OF
the upper Yukon was named Lebarge
in 1868 after Mike Lebarge. a member
of the exploring party. The board ad-
heres to the original Lebarge. In 1888
Camerden named one of the lakes of the
Yukon headwaters Lindeman, after DR..
Lindeman, now vice president of the
Bremen Geographical society. This
sometimes appears as Linderman. but
the board adopts Lindeman. One OF
the principal tributaries of the upper
Yukon is the Lewes river. This is often
miscalled Lewis. The inlet river and
village at the head of Lynn canal,
which now appears almost daily under
the form Dyea, is an Indian word which
has appeared in many forms. Admiral
Meade, in 1869, wrote it Tyya. The
board adopts the form Taiya. For the
lake and river variously called Hoo
talinqua or Hotalinga the board adopts
Teslyn. An Indian village on the mid
die Yukon is called Nukulukayet. This
has been written in several forms, in
Guiding the erroneous one, Tuklukyet.

down, with one calf and one hog
also the barn on the place known as
the Chris Olson place on the town

fire from the sparks of the stove pipe

from his house and went over there.
When he got there they were eating
dinner. He asked them if they knew
their barn was on fire, to which they
replied, no, but it was too far gone to
save anything. It burned to the
ground in a short time after, together
with a yoke Of oxen, one horse and
another horse very badly burned, but
by some way he broke loose and got
out of the barn. Mr.. Foley's barn,
it is thought, caught fire from an old

was very hard south wind at the

At the just Gods call and beck,
Shall one man rise with fearless eyes
And a rope about his neck!

Whose souls were White Is snow.

Is what Gods records show.
