ARE you TO LIVE IN ALASKAN
Some Requirements That VIII he 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 pro-
cesses of the Royal Baking Powuer
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
should he be persuaded by some out
filter to take one of the cheap brands
OF baking powder, it will cost just as
much to transport 1t, and then when
he opens it for use, after all his labor
in packing 1t 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 expert
ment in food, or try to economic with
your stomach. For use in such a
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 1t is imperative that all food sup
plies shall have perfect keeping quail
. T.. Nd % a,
difficult and expensive routes an arti-
Gle that will deteriorate in transit. or
that will be found when required for
use to have lost 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 expert
ence Mr.. McQuesten, who is called
"the father of Alaska" after an expert
ence of years upon the TRAIL in the
camp, and in the use OF every kind of
supply, says: 1--WE find in Alaska that
the Importance of proper kind OF
baking powder cannot be overesti-
mated. miner with can of bad
baking powder is almost helpless in
Alaska. we nave lTleu all SOrtS, ana
have been obliged to settle down to use
nothing but the Royal. 1t is stronger
and carries further at first. 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 reasons that the
United States government in its RELIEF
expeditions. and Peary. the famous
arctic traveller, have carried the Royal
Baking Powder exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose its strength either on
board ship or in damp climates. and is
the most highly concentrated and eff
cient OF leavening agents. Hence it is
indispensable to every Alaskan outfit.
1t can be had OF any Of the trading
companies in Alaska. but should the
miner procure his supplies before leav-
ing. he should resist every attempt of
the outfitter to palm off upon him any
OF the other brands OF baking pow
der. for they will spoil and prove the
cause OF great disappointment and
trouble.

William Poat, who lives seven miles
from Clare, has made new bear-hunt-
ing record. He was examining n huge
tree that had blown over with upturned
roots, when good sized bear came
out. Mr. Poat plug ed" him. No
sooner had the echo of the shot died
away, before another bear came from
another side and shot from the rifle
soon silenced this one also. Mr.. Poat
thought he would get his game to-
gether and prepare to go home. As
he attempted to extiicate the first bear,
another stuck his snout out. Mr.. Poat
grabbed his gun and with one shot laid
No. dead at his feet. He again be-
gan to pull one of the dead bears from
the hole, when a gruff growl was
was heard and one of the largest She
bears ever seen there came out for a
fight. The next moment she was dead
The whole butchery occupied less than
25 minutes and only four shots were
fired.

steamer Duluth Wrecked ON St. Joseph

Steamer Duluth Wrecked on st. Joseph
The steamer City of Duluth, with
cargo of grain from South Chicago,
struck the pier at the mouth of the
harbor at ST. Joseph, about 10 p. IN.
and a Jagged hole let the water rush
into the vessels hold. She sank al
most Immediately and only the cabins
and part of the bulwarks were out of
water. The fireman and engineer
scrambled out of the pit in hurry and
managed to reach the deck in
the nick of time. The stranded
steamer was soon in helpless condi-
ton. The tugs were unable to release
her because the water is shallow on
the bar and terrible gale was blow
ing from the west The life-saving
crew worked hard to save her crew of
% and II passengers. life line was
shot across the deck on the second at
tempt and after being made fast by
the sailors the work of taking the pas
sengers off in the breeches buoy was
begun. August Kernwe!n, of st. Jo-
seph, was the first one To be taken off.
The basket dipped into the icy water
several times as each one made the
passage to the shore and they thought
that their hours were numbered. The
women's screams as they were drawn
over the black abyss of waters added ter
ror to the occasion. The crew stuck to
their posts until the passengers had all
taken the dangerous ride and then
they took their turn, Capt. MacLane
remained Until the last. He had barely
reached shore when the waves broke
up the vessel. The passengers will all
recover from their experience except
Mrs. VIM. Tryon, of Royalton, who is
said to be in delicate condition. EX-
posture and fright will cause her death.
The steamer was chartered by the
Graham & Morton Transportation Co.
for the winter service between st.
Joseph and Chicago. She was owned
by the Lake Michigan q Lake Superior
Transportation Co., was of 1900 tons
burden and was valued at $40, 900. She
carried load of 10000 bushels of corn
and a deck cargo of miscellaneous
freight.

FADS IN FLOWERS.

Florists shops abroad are much diff
ferent from the ones in this
country. In London. for ex-
ample. funeral freaths and en-
blems are displayed in the windows,
with their prices attached. Some are
attractive, others very hideous. Lichsn
is fashionable there for crosses and
wreaths. and from this grisly-gray
background Gala lilies and white roses
peer.
Set pieces, the gates ajar," broken
columns and floral pillows. are always
painful, for, in the first place, the nat
ural grace and beauty of the flowers Is
destroyed. and in the next there is no
excuse for the emblems. Flowers for
the dead should be scattered in care
less handfuls-then only are they COM
forters, with their graceful beauty I'M
impaired. The modern custom OF add
ing to a death notice the words.
Friends will please omit flowers, may
be traced to the reluctance OF the sur
vivors to be confronted with those
CHASTITY set pieces which have ragged SO
long.
The best artists have always recog-
nized that flowers should be allowed to
arrange themselves. Basketfuls, arm
fuls or great punches of loose flowers
are justifiable. but crushing their beau
ty into any systematized outline is un-
forgivable. Florists abroad have
frightful habit OF making up bouton-
niers for mems coats, and these punches
of three or four violets spray OF fern
and a branch OF forget-me-nots are
seen on the lapels of the men who do
not appreciate true fitness. A single
gardenia tuberose or knot of mig
nonette is better than one of these hor-
Tible mixtures.

Peculiar Tax Roll Crookedness.

The supreme court has ordered the
board of Au Sable township, Iosco
county, to show cause why it should
not elect, at once, new supervisor
and spread state and county taxes ON
the township rolls. 1t is charged that
this assessment was willfully omitted
by Supervisor Dudgeon, who is now in
Idaho. The combined state and county
tax apportioned to Au Sable township
was S6,O43 1t is said that the town
ship board backed Dudgeon in refus-
ing TO spread this amount on the rolls,
and the reason is not very hard to find
when it is understood that every MEM
Der Of the township board is an EN-
ploye of the big lumber firm of the III.
NJ. Loud 81 Sons Co., and that 90 per
cent Of the taxable property in the
township is owned by the LIQUIDS. The
township treasurer refuses to allow the
county supervisors or any taxpayer to
inspect the rolls, which are kept in the
LIQUIDS office.

Fine Residence Burned mt Flint.

A disastrous fire at Flint reduced to
ashes the home of Frank NJ. Howard
just outside the city limits. The fire
caught in the upper story and when
discovered by the family it had gained
such Roadway that it was almost use
less to attempt to quench the flames.
The Flint fire department responded
to call, but there was no water to be
had. The thermometer was below
zero and the wind was sweeping a
heavy gale from the northeast, blow
ing the fire and cinders toward the
dairy house and stock barns. Good
work upon the part of neighbors saved
those buildings. The furniture of the
lower rooms were partially saved, but
the dwelling house was compile tely
ruined. The building was erected by
the late Judge Sumner Howard at an
expense of $25, 900.
