or tho Articles Supplied.
BANGOR, Me-, Jan. l4.-Maine is interested in
the Klondike in many ways. This comes about
from two reasons. Ono Is the Yankee inventive
genius of the inhabitants OF Maine, and tho
other is the convenience Of the Maine law re-
garding the formation of stock companies. Be-
cause of this latter advantage. n large number
of klondiko companies have been formed and
duly authorized to dig gold, carry passengers
up the Yukon, deal in supplies, stake out claims.
and do almost anything else that a company Of
men would think of doing. At present these
companies are selling what stock they can and
making plans to sell more.
OF course, ono of the greatest needs Of tho
klondike minor is some kind of light craft for
use in transporting himself and his outfit in the
shallow waters of the upper Yukon and its trib-
utarics. An Oldtown canoe builder who used to
be n Western guide is now filing orders for sew
eral canoes built according to a plan of his own.
These canoes arc long and narrow and arc
made IN four sections. so that they can be taken
apart and carried around unnavigable rapids
and other distractions. Each of the boats will
weigh about 1863 pounds complete, and will
carry two men and several hundred pounds Of
baggage besides.
A man up in the northern town of Fort Fair.
held is AT work on u machine for thawing
frozen ground. which, he says. will enable tho
miner to dig for gold in the coolest weather
with scarcely more inconvenience than in the
middle of tho summer. In Bangor one firm is
doing n rushing business making moccasins for
shipping dogs to tho Klondikc from Maine and
the maritime provinces. Thus far most of the
dogs have been taken from Nova Scotia and
shipped through Maine in box cars. but the in.
dustry looks SO promising that many of the
French Canadian squatters along the northern
boundary contemplate going into the business
OF dog farming in earnest, In the coming year.

MADE BY MINISTER sIFToN.
Washington Jan. l3.-In a few days the Treasury
Department will make known the details Of the
arrangement recently concluded with Mr.. Sifton,
the Canadian Minister OF the Interior. respecting
the transportation of gold-seekcrs and freight
TO the Klondike. 1t is learned here from good au-
thority that the Canadian Government is about TO
Issue customs and mining regulations APP
plicablc TO that region. Last year. when there was
unexpected rush TO the gold fields the Cana
dian Government permitted the free entry Of
miners blankets. personal clothing in use, cook
ing utensils In and one hundred pounds OF food
FOR each person. charging duty only on excess
This year that privilege will be abolished. and
customs duties levied everything the miner
takes in, except, practically, the clothes on his
back. The Canadian Government does not wish
to be n:ggardy. but is going TO great expense TO
maintain police and establish courts Of law, post
Offices treasures for the safekeeping Of the miners
gold Offices where drafts may be obtained for gold
and other convcniences. and must obtain revenue
TO meet the outlay. Every one regardless OF ma
tionaty is at liberty to enter the Kondike and
take up mining claims subject 10 the Canadian
regulations. but all supplies and outfits bought
outside of Canada will be subject TO Canadian GUS
toms duties. averaging 80 per cent.
Outfits and supplies bought in Canada by per-
sons taking the Wrangel ana StlcKeen, OF the 81
Michaes, Skaguay. Dyea or Dalton trail routes
will be admitted free into the Klondlke. and. OF
course, not subject 10 duty when taken in over

Edmonton and Prince Albert.
The Canadian authorities desire to warn the pub
lie against so-called transportation companies
which are offering for ranging from $50 TO
$50. payable in advance 10 convey persons from
the Eastern States to Dawson City by Canadian
routes. and TO provide them with food on the way

take plenty OF food and clothing; Otherwise ON

mounted police. go go ,,
There is no famine in the Klondihe. but supplies
are running low just now. and those entering
without sufficient stock OF their own mlgh' pc
come a burden on the community. The rush has
already commenced but Canadian officials advise
people who wish reach Dawson without Decays
on the way not to start before February. Inc

A FIGHT. OVER RAILROAD RATES.

Chicago. Jan. B-There IS every prospect OF
fight between the Canadian Pacific and the other
transconnental roads over the rates TO the Pacific
Coast for those intending 10 to Alaska. When
the matter of rates to Alaska first came up the
Canadian Pacific said thGt 1t would demand on
this business the dinerentia that IT had re-
ceved on California business. The more sortherly
routes said that the Canadian Pacific had as good
a route any for those intending to go to Alaska,
and that 1t should not have any diferential. This
mattered nothing to the Canadian Pacific. and Il
took the differenual which it said was its due.
Now all the trInsconinental roads and those Of
the Western Passenger Association have deter
mined that they will not allow the Canadian
Pacific 10 have any advantage over them on this
which 1t may make. a mass-meeting OF all the
interested lines will be held in Chicago In the near
future 10 take formal action IN the matter.
