On the Way to Dawson.

Hon. Stanley w. Turner, ex.Auditor
General of Michigan, who is in Alaska with
the government relief expedition, writes the
Detroit Evening News as follows:
DYEA, Alaska, Feb 20.-At last the re-
lief expedition has landed at Dyea, and in
good spirits, and we are ready for the order
to move forward.
The principal places we have touched at
in Alaska are Wrangel, Juneau, Skaguay
and Dyea. One year ago not one of these
places was worth mentioning, but because
of the present gold excitement they are des-
tined to become not only famous but impor-
tant commercial points. Wrangel has 1000
inhabitants and fine harbor. An old Rus
sian fort is still standing there. No lack of
saloons, dance houses, a brewery and over
100 new buildings, erected In the last sixty
days. Until the present rush 1t was ham,
let principally populated by half-breeds.
Prices for the various commodities are very
reasonable, about as cheap as in northern
Michigan. Owing to the fact that 1t is the
first landing place in Alaska, 1t will no doubt
soon be thriving city. 1t is built on piles,
for the reason that the mountains reach
down to the waters edge and building lots
are not available.
juneau is clean, substantial village of
$500 inhabitants. About two miles away,
on Douglass island, are located the famous
TIeadwell mines. A thousands stamps are
in operation day and night. The ore is
free milling, running only So 90 to the
ton, but the output is $4,000 month.
The business buildings In Juneau are com.
paratively new and quite commodious.
Many fine dwellings skirt the side of the
mountains, indicating comfort and prosper
ity.
| A distance of 100 miles farther and Ska
quay is reached. The place Is a milling
town. Plenty of level land stretches along
q ravine between mountains and rocks, al
most perpendicular. and several hundred
feet In height. Several large docks, saloons,
dancing halls. gambling establishments are
aourishing; enough for city Of 10f 900.
1t is simon-pure mining town, reminding
old miners of the California days of 40.
The barbor facilities are better than at the
average seaport town.
Dyea is similarly situated, though not
quite SO large. There has been scarcity
of lumber, which is usually gobbled at Ska
quay. The small cargoes are landed there
first, by reason of the fact that everything
has to be reloaded upon lighters before be-
ing delivered at Dyes.
On our steamer there were four Michigan
men en- route to Dawson City-E. r. May,
of Port Huron, and three McCarthys, of
Alma. They are the only Michigan men I
have seen since left the state.
Up to date, the steamer Oregon, with the
rest of our expedition, has not appeared.
Our camp is in full blast, and the weather
is extremely cold.
repeat my advice to Michigan men con-
templating this trip. DO not leave home
before April 1. You will have plenty OF
time then to be In with the first parties that
will reach Dawson City.

c. S. ALLISON q SON,

This is the Style of Owosso's New lew
elry Firm.
From the St. Johns Republican: G. s.
Allison, who conducted a successful jewelry
store in st. Johns for many years, and was
succeeded by his son, r. G. Allison, has
put in a new jewelry stock in Owosso, and
with his son, Louis B. Allison, will conduct
the business. Possessed of abundant capi.
tai, careful and thoroughly posted in the

Mr.. Allison stated to the Republican Satur'
day that this move will eventually result in
his removing to Owosso, but for the present
his family will remain here and he will be
home Sundays. 1t is to be regretted thai
st. Johns will lose such excellent citizens.

NORTH owosso Farmers Club.

The North Owosso Farmers Club held Its
Place. Questions were discussed as follows:
What is the best fertilizer? Barnyard
manure is the best, but as the quantity is in
sufficient clover Is the mainstay of the farm.
Which is the more profitable for the capt.
tai invested. poultry or the dairy? Mrs.
Willoughby spoke in favor of poultry, as
did also Col Moyses and j. U. Miller. How
to make hens lay? Mrs. l.. d. Carson read
an article by Fanny Field, in which Sheri-
dams poultry food was highly praised as an
egg producer.
Col. Moyses had the best success in feed
ing barley (his temperance principles pre-
vented him from selling it) and meat scraps
with an occasional feed of corn.
Rural mail delivery? Agriculture is a
business of the highest importance, and the
man engaged In agriculture is then busi-
ness man. The nature of his business
places him more or less remote from the
postofice, he is therefore as much entitled
(if not more SOY to free delivery. thereby
enabling him to keep posted on the markets,
current events. and keep In touch with the
times as the man whose place of business is
near (perhaps next door, to the postoffice.
What is the best crop to raise? Corn had
its friends, but men do not all have equal
success with the same crop. Find out what
you and your farm are best adapted to, but
do not depend too much on one crop, fol
with varying seasons and prices the CROP
that breaks a man one year may put some
money In his pocket another, and vice versa,
Mrs. K. o. Place prefers pans for milk
The other ladies present agreed with her.
Col. Moyses gave humorous account OF
youthful experience that disgusted him with
pans, but.cans are just the thing. G.

PEACE.

The war between Spain and the
United States, Which began April Il,
was stopped by the signing OF peace
protocol at the White House in Wash
ington at 4:23 P. M, last Friday.
The protocol was signed by VIM.
R. Day, Secretary of State, repre-
senting the United States, and Jules
Cambon, French Ambassador, repre- |
senting Spain.
AS soon as the agreement had re-
ceived the official signatures orders
were sent, under President Mckin-
ley's direction, to the American mill
tary and naval commanders directing
a suspension of hostilities. The
President also issued proclamation
giving notice of the signing of the
protocol.
The terms of the protocol are prac-
tically the same as those proposed by
the United States soon after negotia-
tons began. Porto Rico, the other
Spanish islands in the West Indies,
except Cuba, and an island in the
Ladrones to be selected by the Unit
ed States are to be ceded to this
country. Spain will relinquish all
sovereignty over Cuba. The United
States will hold the city, bay and
harbor Of Manila pending the con-
clusion by the Peace Commission Of
treaty establishing the future of the
Philippines.
All the Spanish islands in the West
Indies are to be Immediately evacu-
ated, and commissioners are to meet
within thirty days at Havana and San
Juan to arrange the details of the
\ evacuation.
The United States and Spain will
each appoint not moro than five com
missioners to negotiate and conclude
a treaty of peace. The commission
ers are to meet at Paris not late,
than the first of October.
It is only with regard to the Phil
lppines that there are to be actua
negotiations regarding the final peace
treaty. The general terms of the
treaty, so far as Cuba and Porto Rice
are to be affected, have been determ
ined by the protocol, and are as bind
ing now as they will ever be. There
fore, the Philippine question and thu
question of the future commercial
relations between the United State
and Spain are alone open to contro
versy.
The war with Spain lasted not quit
four months, and was decided by tws
remarkable naval engagements, tn
battle at Manila and the destruction
of Cervera's fleet. The attack upol
Santiago, while it served to convince
the Span;ards of the almost invincibl
character of the United States Army
was, after all, not of decisive char
acter, and, hal Spain still possessed
feet, the Santiago campaign woul,
probably have been little more thai
the beginning OF the strugglein Cubs
But when Admiral Dewey's splendi
victory at Manila was duplicated b
Commodore Schley, and the flower G
theSpanish navy was destroyed, will
out appreciable damage to the Amer
lean feet, and scarcely any loss c
life on board the American ships, eve
the vain-glorious, fool-hardy Spar
iardiards were impressed with tn
hopelessness of the struggle in whic
they were engaged.
Japan is said to be planning th
the government manufacture of Gig
arettes, which, it is estimated, wi
increase the annual revenue abou
S25,o0o,000.
