ARE YOU TO LIVE IN ALASKA?
Some Requirements That VIII Be Found
Indispensable.

The universal article of diet in that
country, depended upon and indispensa-
BILE, 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 processes 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 outfitter TO take
one of the cheap brands of baking pow
der, it will take just as much to trans
port it, and then when he opens it for
use, after all his labor in packing 1t over
the long and difficult route, he will find
solid caked mass or a lot of spoiled
powder. with no strength and useless. Such
mistake might lead to the most serious
experiment in food, or to try to econo-
mize 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 i'm
perative that all food supplies shall have
perfect keeping qualities. 1t is absurd
to convey over such difficult and expen-
sive routes an article that will deter
iorate 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
those matters than the advice of those
who have gone through similar expert
ence. Mr.. MoQuesten, who is called the
father of Alaska" after an experience of
years upon the trail, in the camp, and in
the use of every kind of supply, says:
s'We find in Alaska that the importance
of proper kind of baking powder cam
not be overestimated. A miner with a
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. but above all things,
| 1t is the only powder that will endure the
severe climatic changes of the Arctic
region" &s
1t is for the same reasons that the o..
s. Government In it's 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 efficient of
lesvening agents. Hence it is indispen-
sable to every Alaskan outfit. 1t can be
had Of any Of the trading companies in
Alaska, but should the miner procure his
supplies before leaving, he should resist
every attempt of the outfitter to palm off
upon him any Of the other brands of bak-
ing powder. for they will spoil and prove
the cause of great disappointment and
| trouble.

| REV. SAMUEL WATSON
was invited by the chairman to address
the meeting. He said that he was not
accustomed to talking on politics. but was
an annexationist. He said his condition

applause and laughter Some of the
speaker s hits were pretty hard, but they
were given in a good natured way and
| there has not been SO much laughter and
| applause at an annexation meeting during
the campaign than greeted tho reverend
ing those who intended to vote for annex
| alton to stand on their feet and nearly
everyone of the three or four hundred
| present arose.
Nov will anyone who has not made
up his mind stand up" asked Mr.. Wat
son.
| No one responded and the speaker took
his seat while the building .shook with
the applause.
Mr.. T. g. Harris, one of the old stand
byes of the annexation corps of orators,
came forward next for speech. He COM
pared the efforts of the antis to the cam
paign of Don Quixote against the wind
mills in happy manner.
Emulating the example of Brother Wat
son. who called for vote, Mr.. Harris
asked those who were employed or did
business in Portland to raise their hands.
Fully three-fourths of the people present
acknowledged that they made their living
in the neighboring city,
| After Mr.. Harris had concluded Mr..
George Brown read an interesting paper
which he mad prepared on the subject.
Mr.. Merrill thanked the people for
making him the presiding officer of the
| meetings which he esteemed an honor.
He thought that after the vote that had
been taken there was no need to present
arguments to the people present. as 1t
4 was evident that all had made up their
minds. He WIS inclined to criticize the
papers for the reports that had been made
Of his snesches and the city authorities
for the way money had been expended on
the reefs. The arrangement of the
official ballot by the city clerk in putting
the "No", before the eyes" was also dis
paraged. President Merrill closed by urg-
ing all TO do all in their power to bring
out full vote Monday. ii the vote was
yes he said 1t would be the proudest mo-
ment of his life.
The meeting closed with three cheers
for annexation.
