COFFEES

Some are cheap now. Cheap
cereal adulterated coffees are
very plentiful and are forcing
down the prices of the old
Kona product, especially the
medium and lower grades
with which they compete.
The higher grades of Isl
and coffees have declined a
little in sympathy.
Our customers are the first
to benefit by reductions.
Fine coffees are scarce and
no reductions can be made in
their prices.

ATHABASKA.
Gold Seekers En- Route to
the KlOndike.
An Interesting Letter From Mgr.
Grouard, the Vicar-Apostolic of
the District of Canada, Through
Which Many of the Miners
Passed.

Everything relating to the gold
mines of Alaska is fraught with so
much present interest that we in
sert with satisfaction the following
letter from Mgr. Grouard. All know
that from the ecclesiastical point of
view the auriferous territory of the
Klondike is attached to the Apostle
lie distric OF Athabaska- Mackenzie
(Csuada).
The details which the venerable
priest gives may contribute perhaps
to calm the sad rush, which, in spite
of the wise advice of most Of the
European governments, and recent
ly again of Mr.. Barthow, the French
Minister Of the Interior, draws thou
sands of immigrants towards those
uninhabitable regions, where they
run the risk of finding misery and
death in lieu of fortune. Note by
the Editor OF Les Missions Catho-
Rgues.

These are, thought we, new traders
who are coming to transact business

bitter war against the ancient trad

and the profits have passed away.
Well, let us glance at the men
who navigate this flotilla; they are
English Canadians, a few French
men, Yankees from Chicago and
New York, Irishmen, Germans,

Disastrous Fire at Livermore
Falls.

The village of Livermore Falls was
visited by conflagration, Saturday
morning, which destroyed thirty-four
buildings. The fire broke out about 10
o'clock in the engine room of the saw
mill of the international Paper Co. and
ignted the dry wooden partitions and
loose lumber, and in very short time
the building WAS in Il mass of fl INES
but it took mechanics half AN hour to
get it in working condition. In the
meantime the flames, famed by mod
erately high westerly wind, spread rap
idly along the left side of Main street.
Word was sent To Lewiston. Auhurn and
Farmingtoa and at II 80 engines from
vision and Apnufh orrived. The local
fire engine made brave stand. but
owing TO the intense heat the meu
were driven away and the engine partly
DESTROYED. The fire made clean sweep
down Main street as far as Depot street
and then at right angles and destroyed
several wooden buildings. Al the River
side house determined stand was made
to prevent the property beyond catching
fire. Two private dwellings We're blown
up by dynamite, but these operations
had little effect aud soon the hotel was
burning furiously.
Shortly after 2 o'clock the wind
changed, and at 2 80 the fire was headed
off few feet from the Riverside house,
although the adjoining stable was de-
stroyed.
While the fire was at its height a
blaze was noticed in the Grand View
house, some distance from the conf tgra-
| tion and from the nature of the blaze ii
was thought that it was started by an
| incendiary. Ii WAS exiting uished with
out much damage.
The total loss will foot up 10 nearly
$125,000, with an insurance of about
$4,000. The largest loser will be the
international Paper Co., with loss OF
$20, 900 and ali insurance of $4,000.
| The fire was undoubtedly of incen
| diary origin.

A Great Fair.

Our people who attended the State
Fair at Lewiston, this year, are enthu-
siastic 10 praise Of the exhibition and
the management.
Great improvements were made In the
grounds and buildings, the convenences
for stock and facilities for displaying
horses, cattle, sheep. swine, ETC., were
increased, and the society now have a
park 1t may we'll be proud of.
The exhibition itself in arrangement,
variety and quality was superior to any
ever offered on the State Fair grounds.
The attractions we're Of class that adj
mitted Of little, II anything, in the way
of criticism, and they took with the
peoplelwho attended, whether they weie
there for pleasure or profit.
The best of order was maintained,
there were no "snde" shows or trick
games to fleece the unwary, no places
allowed for the dispensing of liquors,
hard or soft, and shysters, pickpockets,
etc., had a hard row to hoe with the
vigilant police officials and detectives
employed to look after such people.
Great credit is due President Pompilly,
his board of directors and officers, par
ticularly Secretary George II. Clarke of
No. Arson, who has been very active
during the year, since elected to the
responsible position, in perfecting ar
engagements and securing attractions for
this great exposition, and all concede he
was remarkably successful in his efforts.
That he is the right man for the place
is amply demonstrated by his vigorous
and effective work and by his unanimous
and enthusiastic reelection for another
year.

Investigation of the conduct of the
war is the order. The Alger-Miles-
Corbin controversy is not included in
the affairs to be investigated. The cause
of so much sickness, lack of commissary,
quartermaster and medical supplies in
Santiago and the various camps, particu-
larly Camp Wickoff on Moltauk Point,
also the crowding and destitution on
transports aud hospital ships upon
which soldiers were brought back from
Cuba are, as we understand it, the SUBJ
ject of the inquiry. President Mckinley
has appointed a board of investigation in
which the people of the country have
confidence and we await the verdict
with much interest. The increasing of
the army from 10000 10 200, 900 men the
clothing, equipping, drilling, organizing,
feeding and caring for such a force and
the transporting so thousand of them to
Cuba, Porto Rico and Manila and 70
thousand of them from Cuba to New
York to say nothing of the fighting, was
a job of magnitude and the time taken
for it, about months, was very short in
which to perform such tremendous
work. The quartermaster general had
an immense amount of work thrown
upon him, also the commissary general
and surgeon general. 1t appears to us
that in these lines was the delinquency
How far the Secretary of War is culpable
for not bringing these important officials
up to their work is matter that will
doubtless appear as the investigation
proceeds. IL is very unfortunate thai
the brilliant achievements of our army
should be clouded by the delinquency OF
any branches of the service or officers Of
the army if such is brought out by the
court OF inquiry.

good "Siwash' dogs are very essential
almost Indispensable These dogs
greatly differ from our domesticated
dogs taking to the harness like duck

their kind. 1t seems to be against their
principles to get off the trail to let an.
other team pass.
This means fight, an exciting cpl

dogs each. In an instant the widest

and each driver with club in his hand

dogs being knocked senseless The dogs
are trained to "gee" and "haw," like
