not the case in those parts of Austro-

ARE YOU TO LIVE IN ALASKA 2

.o requirements That Are Indispen-
.hle-Miners Food Must Be Right.
The universal article of diet in that
country, depended upon and indispen-
.ohle. is bread or biscuit. And to
make the bread and biscuit, either in
M tbe camp or upon the trail, yeast can
not I he used-it must be baking pow
dor. and the powder manufactured by
tbe processes of the Royal Baking Pow
der 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 satisfactorily.
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to go to Alaska
and the Yukon country to know, for
should he be persuaded by some out
after to take one 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 hacking it over the long and diff
cult route, he will find a solid caked
mass or lot of spoiled powder, with
no strength and useless. Such mis-
take might lead to the most serious re-
suits Alaska is no place in which to
expermient in food, or try to econo-
mize with your stomach. For use in
mch climate, and under the trying
and fatiguing conditions of life and
labor in that country, everything must
be the best and most useful, and above
all it is imperative that all food sup
plies shall have perfect keeping quail
lies. 1t is absurd to convey over such
difficult and expensive routes an article
that will deteriorate in transit, or
4 that will be found when required for
use to have lost a great part of its
. value.
There is no better guide to follow
in these matters than the advice of
those who have gone through similar
experience. Mr.. McQuesten, who is
called the father of Alaska" after an
experience of years upon the trail, in
the camp, and in the use of every kind
Of supply, says: eve find in Alaska
that the Importance of proper kind of
baking powder cannot be overesti-
mated. A miner with can of bad
baking powder is almost helpless in
Alaska. We have tried all sorts, and
have been obliged to settle down to use
nothing but the Royal. 1t is stronger
and carries further, but above all
things, it is the only powder that will
endure the severe climatic changes OF
the arctic region"
1t is for the same reason that the U.
s. government in its relief expeditions,
and Peary, the famous arctic traveller,
have carried the Royal Baking Powder
eIclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose its strength either on
board ship or in damp climates, and is

In Alaska, but should the miner pro-
cure his supplies before leaving, he
should resist every attempt of the out
litter to palm off upon him any of the
other brands of baking powder, fo1

great disappointment and trouble.

COLONEL BRYAN,S REGIMENT
Fifteen Men Dfscharged-One Hundred
Applications for Discharge on File

Washington, October 4.-The request
of Colonel Bryan, of the Third Nebras-
ka infantry, for the discharge of a
number of men of that regiment, who
desire to return to their homes, was
granted by the secretary of war today
in about fifteen cases. The applications
in these cases each received the ap-
prevail Of the brigade and corps COM
manders. They were based upon va
rious reasons, including ill-health and
private business necessities. 1t is un-
derstood that there are nearly 100 men
in the regiment who are doing their
utmost to secure their discharge. 1t
is said that Colonel Bryan has endors-
ed the applications in many cases, but
that they lack the approval of the bri-
gade and corps commanders. In case
of favorable action by the reviewing
authorities, the applications will be
granted by the war department with
out further consideration. In the event,
however, that the application lacks the
favorable endorsement of the review
ing officers, the officials of the war de-
partment will make an independent in
veStigation Of each case and decide
it on it's merits.
1t is said at the war department that
nothing has yet been heard from the
governor of Nebraska regarding the
selection of the Nebraska regiment to
be mustered In order to bring the
number Of troops furnished by that
state within the regulation quota

special stress on the rule Of negroism

the office holders and h impudence

New Bern especially, besides other
eastern towns and counties. He called
on the white men of the western part
of this state to take from the hands
of these greedy pie hunters of the re-

their brothers of the east. He made
a good impression. He said he had
