TENNESSEE STATE NEWS
An Important Decision.

In the case of the interstate commerce
commission VS.. the East Tennessee,
Virginia & Georgia Railroad Company
and sixteen other roads, known as the
Chattanooga case" United States
Judge Severens delivered his decision
in that city last week. The decision
was adverse to the railroads and a COM
plete victory for the commission and
the city of Chattanooga. An order was
issued requiring the railroads to at once
make Chattanooga rates the same as
those to Nashville. The Judge held that
the evidence showed that the commerce
act had been violated in many ways,
and that Chattanooga had been grossly
Disseminated against. He called par
ticular attention to the fact that freight
could be shipped from New York to
Nashville, 151 miles farther than Chatta-
nooga, and then back to Chattanooga, at
a less rate than it could be shipped direct.
The complaint involved in the case was
first brought before the interstate COM
mission by the board of trade at Chat
tanooga in 1890. 1t was decided in
favor OF the compliments and the
courts were called on to enforce the
order of the commission.

some Requirements That VIII De

some Requirements That VIII De
Found Indispensable.
The universal article of diet in that
country, depended upon and indispensa-
BILE, is bread or biscuit. And tomake the
bread and biscuit, either in the camp or
upon the trail, yeast cannot be used-it
must be baking powder; and the pow
der 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 satisfac-
torily.
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
powder, it will cost just as much to
transport it, and then when he opens it
for use, after all his labor in packing it
over the long and difficult route, he will
find a solid caked mass or a lot of spoiled
powder, with no strength and useless.
Such mistake might lead to the most
serious results. Alaska is no place in
which to experiment in food, or try to
economic with your stomach. For use
in such a 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 imperative that all food supplies
shall have perfect keeping qualities. 1t
is absurd to convey over such difficult
and expensive routes an article that
will deteriorate in transit, or that will
be found when required for use to have
lost great part of it's value.
There is no better guide to follow
in these matters than the advice of those
who have gone through similar expert
ence. Mr.. McQuesten, 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:
1--WE find in Alaska that the Importance
of proper kind of baking powder can
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 Royal. Tt
is stronger, and carries further, but,
above all things, it is the only powder
that will endure the severe climatic
changes of the Arctic region
It is for the same reasons that the q.
S. Government in its 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 nightly concentrated and eff
ficient of leavening agents. Hence it is
Indispensable to every Alaskan outfit.
1t can be had of any of the trading COM
panies in Alaska, but should the miner
procure his supplies before leaving, he
should resist every attempt of the out
filter to palm off upon him any of the
other brands of baking powder, for they
will spoil and prove the cause of great
disappointment and trouble.

The Feast Took Place 100 Miles From
Dawson and Cost $2O,OOO.
Jack Collins, who started for Dawson
City with band of sheep last summer,
has been heard from. He sold part of
his flock for 1000. Tie othC-- and
biggest half of the flock fed the birds
of the arctic zone. This is how it hap
pened:
He drove the sheep in over the Dali
ton trail. Some time before Dawson
was reached cold weather came on, and
Collins decided to kill his sheep. He
killed and sold 500, and received nearly
$4,000 for them.
Then he concluded to hold the re-
mainder for a better market. He killed
the remaining 400 in a sort of secluded
place off the line of travel and suspend
ed the carcasses on poles far enough
above the ground to be out of the reach
of bears, wolves or other wild animals
He left two young men to watch the
mutton, and proceeded to look for
mining section. Having found one, he
located claim and proceeded to test
it. After he had dug out few thou
sand dollars worth of gold he thought
he would, as the French say, return
to his muttons."
His stay had been so prolonged that
the young men had become weary OF
holding a wake over the sheep, and,
imagining Dawson TO be only a few
miles away, had started for that city
TO enjoy some of the pleasures a met
ropolitan city can afford. 1t proved to
be about 100 miles to Dawson, so their
absence was more extended than they
had inended, and when Collins reached
the place where he had left the car
casses of 400 sheep he found only 400
bleaching skeletons.
The eagles, ravens, crows, kites,
hawks and other birds of prey which
inhabit that region had been feasting
on mutton. 'Where the carcass is,
there will the eagles be gathered" Is
a proverb which applies to other birds
of prey. Collins had left so many car
casses that invitations had been sent
out and a general roundup of all the
vultures and things in that region, from
Behring sea to the Mackenzie river, had
taken place. Whether the claim Col
Inns secured will make good the loss
of the mutton or not remains to be seen,
but when he drives in his next band of
sheep the birds of prey will not get
so large a percentage of them.-Port-
