Skaguay, Alaska, (via Seattle, Wash.),
April S.-At about noon to-day on the
Ghilkeot trail between the Scales and
Stone house, at least thirty-one men met
death and large number of others were

slide.
Among the known dead is C. Beck,
Sanford, Florida.
fnliy fifty people were oyertaken by
the slide and are either buried in the
snow or scattered along the borders of
the avalanche in a more or less injured
condition.
The point at which the accident oc-
Cured is some five miles above Sheep
Camp. The nearest telephone station is
four miles distant The telephone wires
at this point were carried away by the
slide. This fact makes it difficult to
obtain further particulars at this time.

such assistance as possible.
All day Saturday and Sunday a south
erly storm with rain, wind and snow pre-
vailed in this vicinity and it is believed
the softening of the snow on the noun

cause of the avalanche. The quantity of
snow and ice that came down in the
slide is estimated at thousands of tons.

Two Pointed questions Answered.

What is the use of making better
article than your competitor if you can
not get better price for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the better,
SO that while our profits may be smaller
on single scale they will be much
greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
II both articles are brought prominent
ly before the public both are certain to
be tried and the public will very quickly
pass judgment on them and use only the
better one.
This explains the large sale on Cham

COIumbia's New Record.

PORTLAND, Dec. 27.-Items on the
water front, as usual on holiday, were
scarce yesterday, but the good, fast
steamship Columbia came TO the rescue
by breaking her own record between San
Francisco and Portland, and coming
within few minutes of making the best
time on record. Her time from dock to
dock was but AZ hours and 55 minutes,
while the actual running time was 46
hours and Is minutes. The Colum bia,
in command of Captain George Conway,
broke all previous records on the route
about year ago, but the State cut under
that record about a week later, and since
that time no remarkable fast trips have
BET n made until yesterday. As Captain
Green, who was master of the State
when she made the record passage, is
now in command of the Columbia, he
has to his credit the two fastest passages
that have ever been made on the route.
