NEAR BEING FROZEN TO DEATH
A Youth Who Was Rescued Just in
Time to Save His Life.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 14.-Custer Nc
Kay, the eighteen-year-old son Of Mr.
and James L. Mckay of Oakland came
near being frozen to death at Tehachtpi
on Thursday morning. The young man
is a subject of somnambulism, and
while en- route to the City of Mexico
with his mother he left the train at
Tehachipi, clad only in his under
clothes. The train proceeded on It's
way, and after young Mckay had,
while sound asleep, wandered about
in the snow for a while, he lay
down and started on his slumber OF
death. A railway man on his way
stumbled over his snow-covered body,
and took the young fellow to the depot,
where medical aid was summoned. Ii
took hard work to bring the boy to
consciousness.

RIVERSIDE MURDER CASE.
The Body Found in the River Bot
tom Identified.

RIVERSIDE, Jan. 1.-THE mystery
of the dead man who was found in the
river bottom near this city on Deem
Der Sth last has at last been cleared
away. He was w. F. Shrode of Elsinore.
The much vexed question was solved to-
day, when Mrs. Shrode, the wife of the
dead man, came to this city and identi-
fed the picture Of him as that Of her
missing husband. Mrs. Shrode went
further, and by description Of wounds
and marks on the body of the husband,
which corresponded with those on the
dead man, established the Identification
beyond doubt.
Shrode left E1sinore on December Sd,
five days before the dead body was
found, with the intention of going to
Los Angeles. He left home for good
while in bad humor over some family
dispute. He had 5000 with him when
he left, but no money was found on the
body, showing that robbery was the
motive for the murder.
The officers now believe that Shrode
was followed from his home to the lonely
spot where the body was found by his
murderers, who knew that he had
money.

MINING IN THE YUKON.
Important Changes Made by the
Canadian Government.

OTTAWA (Ontario), Jan. IA COM
mittee of the Cabinet has drawn up new
regulations for mining in the Yukon,
which make important changes. 1t is
now stated that the alternate claim
regulation has been abandoned, and
that the Government proposes to re-
serve alternate blocks of ten claims,
which 1T is thought will give miners a
better opportunity to operate. The
present intention is to reserve the Gov
eminent blocks until they are disposed
Of at public auction.
Another feature Of the new regula-
tons is the abandonment of the sliding
scale of royalties. Instead, an even roy
atty Of 10 per cent. will be exacted from
all miners.

While There Is a Shortage Of Stores, a
State Of Famine Does Not Exist.
A Large Expedition of Supplies
Cannot Proceed Down the Yu-
kou Further Than the Foot Of
Lake Labarge-Reindeer Would
be No More Serviceab1e Than
Horses or Mules.

PORTLAND, Jan. 14.-The report of
Major l.. H. Rucker of the Fourth cav
airy who was sent to Dyea by. the
War Department to ascertain the con-
dition of affairs in the Yukon was re-
ceived by General Merriam to-day at
Vancouver Barracks. From his inter-
views with those who have come out
from Dawson recently, and from his
observations of the Chilkoot and White
Passes, Major Rucker concludes:
First, that while there is a shortage
of stores in the Yukon Basin, state
of famine does not at present exist,
nor is it likely to exist in the ~imme-
date future.
Second, that a large expedition with
quantities of supplies hauled on
sledges by horses or reindeer could not
proceed down the Yukon further than
the foot Of Lake Labarge, 400 miles
from Dawson.
Third, that reindeer on such an ex-
petition are no more serviceable than
are mules or horses.
Fourth. that if Government assist
ance is conspicuously needed IN the
Yukon, it will be when the stores now
in the hands of the people are ex-
hausted, which is not likely from all
he can learn to be earlier than April
or May
He therefore recommends that II the
snow locomotive company which mas
a. contract with the Government 90
not convey the relief into the Yukon
during February, the Government pack
trains with sledges should carry them
across Chilkoot Pass and on the lakes
and rivers to the foot of Lake Labarge
during the month of March, and there
await the breaking up Of ice in the
Yukon. The supplies could then De
taken to Dawson in boats.
The Chicago Snow and Ice ITanspor-
tation Company, which has a contrac.
with the Government to haul the relleI
expedition supplies from Dyea 10 DaW-
son, notified General Merriam to-day
that they would be unable to start
their snow trains into the interior ear
lier than the middle of February. Inc
contract which the company mas Win
the Government allows that length OF
time in which to start the expedition.
General Merriam has, therefore, eX-
tended the time of starting the e4-
petition to some time in February.

THE ERIE CANAL.
The Part It Played in New York's
Advancement in Wealth.

Ernest Ingersoll writes an article for
January st. Nicholas on the Greater
New York, his paper being entitled
Reasoning Out a Metropolis Mr..
Ingersoll says: 1.-THE greatest of ali
the influences that assisted New York
to reach first place was the Erie Canal.
1.-THE first quarter of this century was
the era of canal building. No mat
ter how fine the turnpikes may be,
horses can haul in wagons only high
priced merchandise, in comparatively
small quantities and for short distances,
unless the cargo is to cost for trans
portation more than it is worth. Men
found out in Europe and Asia, long
ago, that for moving grain, coal, timber,
ore and similar bulky or heavy goods,
where speed was not especially import
ant, a ship or boat was the only prac-
ticable method. If river were not con-
venisnt, then an artificial waterway,
called a canal--that is, channel-must
be made. When in any country some
thing Of this kind cannot be done, that
country must remain undeveloped and
thinly populated, like the Sahara
Why is a canal so much better than
a good road for commercial purposes =?
Because, While two horses and one man
can maui on a hard, level road perhaps
two tons, the same driver with two
horses harnessed to a canal boat can
move twenty tons nearly as quickly;
that is, the same force and expense
for gay and food of men, and horses
accomplish ten times as much in result,
which really makes the goods ten times
cheaper at the end of the route
Hence, before the invention of rail-
roads, it was necessary in any grow
ing country to dig canals to serve as
the highways of commerce: and this
the young United States fastened to
do. New York, as usual, moved among
the foremost. She planned and con-
strueted. besides some lesser ones, that
great waterway, 400 miles long, from
