ARE YOU TO LIVE IN ALASKA
Some Requirements that Will be Found
Indispensable.


The universal article of diet in that
country, depended upon and indispens.
able, is bread or biscuit. And to make
the bread and biscuit, either in the camp
or upon the trail, yeast cannot be used
it must be baking powder; and the
powder manufactured by the processes
of the Royal Baking Powder Company,
miners and prospectors have learned, is
the only one which will stand in that
peculiar climate of cold and dampness
and raise the bread and biscuit satisfac-
torily.
These facts are very important for
everyone prospecting to go to Alaska
and the Yukon country to know, for
should he be persuaded by some out
filter to take n of the cheap brands of
baking powder, it will cost just as much
to transport it, and then when he opens
it for use, after all his labor in packing
it over the long and difficult route, he
will find a solid caked mass or a lot of
spoiled powder, with no strength and
useless. Such a mistake might lead to
the most serious results. Alaska is no
place in which to experiment in food, or
try to economize with your stomach.
For use in such a climate, and under
the trying and fatiguing conditions of
life and labor in that country, every
thing must be the best and most useful,
and above all it is imperative that all
food supplies shall have perfect keeping
qualities. It is absurd to convey over
such difficult and expensive routes an
article that will deteriorate in transit, or
that will befound when required for
use to haveiost a greatpart of it's value.
There is nc better guide to follow i N
these matters than the advice of those
who have gone through similar exper.
fence. Mr.. McQuesten, who is called
"the father of Alaska" after an exper.
fence of years upon the trail, in the
camp, and in the use of every kind oil
supply, says: "We find in Alaska that
the Importance of a proper kind Of bak
ing powder cannot be overestimated. A
miner with a al of bad baking powder
is almost helpless in Alaska. We have
tried all sorts, and have been obliged tt
settle down to use nothing but the
Royal. 1t is stronger and carries fur,
ther, but above all things, it is the only
powder that will endure the. severe elm
attic changes in the arctic region"
1t is for the same reasons that the u
S. government in its relief expeditions
and Peary, the famous arctic traveller
have carried the Royal Baking Powder
exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will moi
cake..or lose it's strength either on board
ship OF in damp climates, and is the
most highly concentrated and efficient
of l%eavening agents. Hence it is indis
pensable to every Alaskan outfit. II
can be had of any of the trading com.
pahies in Alaska, but should the mine,
procure his supplies before leaving, he
should resist every attempt of the out.
filter to palm off upon him any Of the
other brands of baking powder, for they
will spoil and prove the cause Of great
disappointment and trouble.

PORTO RICANS SLAI1
BY SPANISH SOLDIERS
Details Of the Riot at Arrecibo Be
tween Counrrymen and the
TrOonS.


SAN JUAN, Porto Rico. October IL
Full details of the Arrecibo incident of
Sunday, October 8, have been received
to allow their publication in the local
newspapers. 1t appears that the trouble
began in row between some soldiers of
the Alfonso XIII battalion and a num-
Der of countrymen. The soldiers retreat
ed to the neighboring barracks and, af-
ter armtng themselves with Mauser rifles,
returned and fired upon the crowd, kill
crowd, to the number of 200, secured ma
chetes and rushed through the streets,
the soldiers retreatinG to the barracks.
The people then carried their wounded
to the house of the British Consul, where
they found several United States officers
and soldiers, from whom they asked JUS
tice.
When the wounded were cared for the
townspeople returned to the scene OF the
conflict to destroy the houses of several
well-known Spaniards Ultimately, how
ever, the persuasive word of cooler men,
coupled with the establishment of a vtg1-
lance committee, succeeded in restoring
order.
But only for time. The same after
noon a party of forty Porto Ricans COM
pletely destroyed the business house Of
well-known Spaniard. During the affair
an American was killed. The night was
not without its alarm. There was shoot
ing at the barracks, though no one was
hurt. Seventeen different fires in the sur
rounding country were counted from the
hOusetops of Arreciho. The following day
closed. That night twenty-four fires We're
counted. On Tuesday most of the Spanish
business houses remained closed and
those that opened their doors were soon
at last issued an order directing that all
places Of business be closed forthwith.

A PROBLEM FOR THE JUDGE.
He Must Decide Who Is the Owner
of a Goat and It's Kid.

most perplexing problem will be sub
mitted to Judge Joachimsen this morning
and much interest is manifested as to the
result of his decision. Lawyers and citi-
zens are equally interested and when the
case is heard there will be crowded
courtroom.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Margaret Ham
flton, a lady so years of age, living on
Twenty-second and Tennessee streets, OBJ
tanned a search warrant from Assistant
Prosecuting Attorney Drury of Judge
Joachimsen's court for the recovery of
a goat which had been stolen from her
eighteen months ago. Since then she had
been constantly searching for the goat
and it was only Wednesday that she dis
covered her pet in the yard Of John
Dwyer, on the Potrero hill, near Sixteenth
street.
What pleased her more than anything
else was to find that a kid was disporting
itself beside the goat as she had looked
forward to the advent Of the kid with
feelings of joy, as she longed to make a
particular pet of it. She made demand
upon Dwyer for the return of the goat
and the kid but DWyer denied that either
belonged to her.
She told her story to Drury and he
thought the search warrant should in
clude the kid as well as the goat, but 1t
would rest with the Judge to determine
whether Dwyer could lay claim to the
kid She said she was prepared to swear
that the goat and kid belonged. to her, but
Dwyer denies that the goat ever was hers
and therefore both the goat and kid are
his property.
Policeman C. M.Barnes went with Mrs
Hamilton to the Dwyer homestead and
she pointed out the goat, which Barnes
seized in virtue of the search warrant
The kid could not be seen and Barnes had
to leave without 1t. He took the goat to
the City Prison, where its appearance
caused the greatest CONSERVATION Ser
geant Lindheimer objected to have any
thing to do with the goat. What do you
think l am he roaTed at Barnes do
you think 1 am the poundkeeper? Take
1t away. I don't care what you do with
it." This In answer to a question of
Barnes. who seemed perplexed to know
what to do. Finally it was arranged that
the goat should be taken to Westphals
stables to await the decision of the Judge
this morning.
