The encouragement OF Massachu-
sets has suggested that trials for cer-
tain criminal offenses be held in Sc
cret, thus shutting out prurient idlers
and making 1t difficult for cheap news
papers to gather the filth on which
they fatten. In such an event. the
criminal would miss his notoriety, the
loafer his scandal and the newspaper
its ''sensation"-but to decent people
the aggregate of all these losses would

- A WORD OF ADVICE. K9
To Those Coming to Alaska or the
HInndILo GoId FIclds.

To Those Coming to Alaska or the
Klondike Gold Fields.
One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader COM
ing to Alaska, to the Klondike, or the
Yukon country, and that is the neces-
sity for providing an adequate and
proper food supply. Whether procured
in the States. in the Dominion, or at
the supply stores here or further on,
this must be his primary concern. Up
on the manner in which the miner has
observed or neglected this precaution
more than upon any other one thing
will his success or failure depend.
These supplies must be healthful and
should be concentrated, but the most
careful attention in the selection OF
foods that will keep unimpaired indefi-
nitely under all the conditions which
they will have to encounter is i'm
perative. For instance. as bread raised
with baking powder must be relied up
on for the chief part OF every meal,
imagine the helplessness of miner
with can of spoiled baking powder.
Buy only the very best flour; 1t is the
cheapest in the end. Experience has
shown the Royal Baking Powder to
be the most reliable and the trading
companies now uniformly supply this
brand, as others will not keep in this
climate. Be sure that the bacon is
sweet. sound and thoroughly cured.
These are the absolute necessities upon
which all must place chief reliance,
and can under no circumstances be
neglected. They may, OF course, be
supplemented by as many comforts or
delicacies as the prospector may be
able to pack or desire to pay for
From the Alaska Mining Journal.
A book OF receipts for all kinds OF
cookery, which is specially valuable for
use upon the trail or in the camp, is

ceipts are thoroughly practical, and the
methods are carefully explained, so
that the inexperienced may, with Its
aid. readily prepare everything requi-
site for good, wholesome meal, or
even dainties II he has the necessary
materials. The matter is In compact
though durable form, the whole book
weighing but two ounces. Under a
