A WORD OF ADVICE.
To Those Coming to Alaska or the
Klondike Gold Fields.

One thing should be impressed upon
every miner. prospector or trader COM
ing to Alaska, to the Klondike, or the
Yukon country, and that is the
necessity for providing an adequate
and proper food supply. Whether pro-
cured in the States, in the Dominion,
or at the supply stores here or further
on, this must be his primary concern.
Upon the manner in which the miner
has observed or neglected this pre-
caution more than upon any other
one thing Will his success or failure
depend.
These supplies must be healthiul
and should be concentrated, but the
most careful attention in the selec-
ton Cf foods that viii keep unim-
paired Indefinitely uudr all the con-
ditons which they viii have to en-
counter is inn era,iyo. For instance,
as bread raised with hiking powder
must be relied upon for the chief part
Of every meal imagine the helpless
ness Of miner with q can of spoiled
baking powder Buy only the very
best -four; it is the cheapest in the
end Exper encc has shown the
Royal Baking Powder to be the most
reliable and the t aiding companies
now unio mly supply this brand, as
others viii not ke p in this climate.

EMPEROR OUTDOING HIMSELF

Emperor William has not yet eX-
hausted either his power or his in
clination to create amazement. his
assertion that the empire is held IN
his protecting hand was quite consls-
tent with previous utterances on that
Subject, but when he referred to an
awful responsibility to the Creator
alone" he showed modesty which
none of his previous orations mad

will begin to suspect that William
does not take himself quite so Serl-
ously as has been supposed Ne"

TAXATION INTHE DISTRICT.
The Subject Discussed by the Hous,
Committee.

Committee.
hearing on taXation in the District
was held yesterday morning before sub
committee of the House District Commit
tee. The question of taxing the city
banks was discussed Commissioner Ross
was on the witness stand. He stated
that nothing could be done under the
present law in the way of collecting these
taxes. the banks claiming that they were
exempt.
The chairman. Mr.. Oden suggested
that an endeavor should be made by the
attorneys for the District to collect the
back taxes from the banks
1t was brought out that the general
Government frequently did not pay one
half of the expenses of the District, as
Congress very often made appropriations
to he paid wholly out of the District
funds.
Commissioner Black was asked in re-
gard to property fronting on the Potomac
River He stated there were cases now
pending by the Government to either
collect back taxes or take possession of
the property. The cases have been pend
ing since 1890.
Mr. Black stated that constant trouble
arose in the limits of the old city Of
Washington from the fact that the
United States Government was the right
full one to obtain title to such property
and that in many cases where this had
been done the property had not been
turned over to the District and squatters
had taken possession. This condition ap-
piled particularly to the Potomac flats.
Mr.. Odell suggested that the Commits
sioners should give their attention to
this matter and see if there was not some
legislation that could be made by Con-
gress to clear this matter up. He thought
if the District could get the proper taxes
or wharfage fees it would materially en-
large the revenues.
Mr.. Black stated that the condition Of
public property in the District was in
very bad shape, as the Commissioners had
jurisdiction only over such property as
has been turned over to the District by
the General Government.
Mr.. Ross said there was a great need
of legislation to settle this question, by
putting the matter under the jurisdiction
| of some one.
Mr.. Odell stated that the committee
would assist in this matter in every way
it could, and would be glad of any sug-
gestions the Commissioners could make.
