A great deal has been said and felt

0ess . 0sriet Party Vote.

Washlng.on, Feb. 1.-The House Of
Representatives yesterday buried the
Teller resolution. declaring the bonds
OF the United States payable In silver,
under an adverse majority Of nifty
votes. The Republicans were solldly
arrayed In opposition. with two excep-
tions, Mr.. Linney OF North Carolina.
who voted with the Democrats and
Populists, and Mr.. White of North Car
o1ina, the only cOlored member Of the
House. who answered present when
his name was called. The desertiOns
from the Democratic side were Mr.. Nc
Aleer Of Pennsylvania and Mr.. Elliott
OF South Carolina. Both voted with
the Republicans against the proposition.
Speaker Reed. although 1t ls not Gus
tomary for him to vote. had his name
called, and. amid the cheers Of his fol-
lowers. went on record In opposition to
the resolution. The vote was reached
after hve hours of debate under spe-
cial order adopted a; the opening Of the
session to-day.
The limited time allowed for debate
and the pressure OF members for an
opportunity to be heard was NO great
that the leaders OH both sides were
compelled to farm out the time by min
utes. This detracted much from the
continuity Of the discussion but, II also
In measure, intensified the Interest in
the galleries. which We're crowded all
day. and the combatants on the floor
were cheered by their respective SYM
pathizcrs. Many OF the senators from
the other end OF the building were also
present to listen to the arguments.
The majority, under the leadership
OF Mr.. Dingley. who made Il carefully
prepared speech sounding the keynote
of the opposition. assumed the position
that the last clause OF the resolution
was In reality n disguised declaration
for The free coinage OF silver. while
the assaulting Democrats. under the di-
rection OF Mr.. Bailey. maintained that
the defeat Of The resolution was another
step In the direction OF the establish
mcni OF the gold standard. 10 which
they alleged both the President and
Secretary Gage had irrcvocably com
mi,ied the Republican party.
The debate was NJ times fast and
heated. but there We're no sensational
incidents beyond the Missing Of Mr..

ARE you TO LIVE IN ALASKA,

Ss0s RsQsissnsats That VIII Ds Hssaa
Indispensable.
The universal article OF diet in that
country. depsuded upon and indispens-
able. Il bread or biscuit. And to make
tho bread and biscuit. either In the
camp or upon the trail. yeast cannot be
used-it must be baking powder; and
tbs powder manufactured by the pro-
ceases 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 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
inter to take one OF the cheap brands
OF baking powder. It will cost Just as
much to transport II. and then when
he opens 1t for use. after all his labor
In packing 1t over the long and dimcult
route. he will fnd solid caked mass
or q lot Of spoiled powder. with no
strength and useless. Such mistake
might lead to the most serious results.
Alaska Is NO place in which to expert
ment In food. or try to economiIe with
your stomach. For use In such
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
piles shall have perfect keeping quail
ties. II Is absurd to convey over such
dimcult and expensive routes an arti-
Gle that will deteriorate in transit. or
that will be found when required for
use to have lost grea. 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: We find in Alaska that
the Importance OF proper kind OF
baking powder cannot be overesti-
mated. A miner with n 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 at first, but above
all things. 1t 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 relic.
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 efi-
cient OF leavening agents. Hence II Is
Indispensable to every Alaskan outfit,
II can be had OF any o! the trading
companies In Alaska. bu, should the
miner procure his supplies before leav-
ing. he should resist every attempt OF
the outfitier to palm of upon him any
OF the other brands of baking pow
der. for they will spoil and prove the
cause of grea, disappointment and
trouble.

lcT for this year can ind cheap out
let. The $4,000. 600 secured to-day In
New York by Mr.. Hagerman will not
only build the extension between Ros-
well and Washburu, but be suflcient
to equip the new line, and also permit
the making OF many needed repairs
on the Pecos Valley railway.
The extension from Roswell to
Washburn will be known m the Pecos
Valley 4 Northwestern Railroad Com
pany. This company will absorb the
Pecos Valley Railway Company. The
receivership under which the Pecox
Valley HALLWAY Company Is now oper-
ated will be discharged. n satisfactory
arrangement having been made by Mr.
Hagerman with the bOndholders OF that
road.
The building of the branch between
Roswell and Washburn is one Of the
most important projects In the SOuih-
west In recent years. II means IN
cnlculable benefit to the great ngricul-
tural territory known as the PecOs val
ley, and will put that section OF New
Mexico In direc, communication with
Colorado and Kansas City and enable
the stockmen and farmers there TO
compete with their hitherto more fav
Ored neighbors. II will reduce the time
between Roswell and Kansas City to
thirty-six hours. and permit the ship
ment OF live stock through without
stop for water or feed. and also reduce
the freight rates materially. Therefore
shipments of live stock from the
PecoG valley to Kansas City. Omaha
and st. Louis have been greatly cur
tailed. md even when made there has
been but small profit to the stockgrOw-
ers. II is expected that fully 10000
cars OF stock from the Pecos valley
will find market within one year af
ter the new line has been built. and
the amount of agricultural produce that
will be exported is almost inestImable.
The building Of the proposed ex,en-
sion also means great deal to Colo
RADIO. II will place this state within
n ,wenty-four hours ride Of the Pecos
valley, whereas 1t now takes. because
OF poor connections. more than nifty.
The building OF the extension will un-
doubtedly cause II considerable boom
In Roswell. Eddy and the other towns
In the Pecos valley. These points are
the center of the largest irrigating sys-
tenn In the West. Several hundred
thousand acres are under the canal sys-
TEN, and over 10000 acres already in
actual cultivation. The company has
always suffered on account OF It's re-
moteness from markets. and the settle
men, has been retarded on that nc
count,
