revolvers and ordered the engineer to
stop the train. This was done, but

pull out and stop at a big pile Of ties.
The order was obeyed and the train
stopped near the ties. The engineer
and fireman were then compelled to
go back to the express car with the
robbers. The. express messenger was
ordered to open the door and on re-

Military Matters.

Governor Sadler visited the mill
tary camp this afternoon for the pur-
pose of feeling the boys about con-
solicitation matters.
Company Il was first called befor"
the Governor and he in a few word
told them he Womb allow them /"
choose their own officers. as lins'r
company was full, and accorded them
the second place in line ~ the battal-
ion. The boys Immediately chose
Ed. Carney, Captain; Henry B~urling-
ton, First Lieutenant and Charles
Stone, Second Lieutenant.
Company G of Reno WAS called M
next. The Governor allowed this
company to choose its own officers
and gave it first place in line of the
battalion. THIS company chose it's
old officers.
Company B and Company f were
next called up. Governor Sadler
wished to consolidate these two COM
panies. The boys seemed willing but

united company a howl went forth

G ,vernor named w. G.. Morrison
Captain, Sanders First Lieutenant
and George Pyne Second Lieutenant.
This left out First Lieutenant Sulli-
van of Company B and the Emuetts
did not relish such an idea and re-
VOTED. The Elko boys did no like to
see their Ca Itain reduced to the
ranks and they loudly protested. The
two companies met together and
agreed that they wonld work for
either Morrison or Sanders for Major
and If either n got it the ether
would be acceptable as Captain of
the merged Companies and this
would save Sullivan and promote
harmony in the camp.
Companies A and d were %cons0li.

Windle First Lieutenant, Henry
Conrad Second Lieutenant. This
consolidation was affected without
any squabble and CoIburn immed

the money ont of the safe, putting it
in three sacks, and carried il out
where his pal was. The money was
then emptied into n big sack and
the robbers cut the other sacks open

They then told the engineer and fire.
nan to hoard the engine and pull out.

bosses, after making their selections,
would find that they had disappointed

Tire hardships may be liable 10 a little
exaggeratfon Of the conditions. bur II is
better to err on that side than to run
the risk OF hundreds Of men starving.
ANY one man OF those who have sought
10 prevent the. relief expedition or have
complained OF the expense would not
think sl0o.oeo too much for nation Ike
this to give even to succor that one.
Nobody can doubt the truthfulness
Of. for instance, T. y. Wilson. who re-
Gently left Dawson. His cautious Ian
euage and his detailed story leave no
doubt whatever that already distress
had begun 10 be felt. The discrepancies
between such stories as he tells and
those which have belittled the danger
have been frequently pointed out. Men
who only saw that there wa. a guam
tity OF food on hand without stopping
TO calculate how long that would last
when divided among a large number OF
people. have said they saw no sign OF
a shortage.
Those who have seen the bakers and
the butchers shops In Seattle every day
full Of provisions would not know
whether or not there could be famine
in Seattle. Only those would know
whose business it is to bring the pro-
visions into town each day. and TO
know what quantity is required to meet
the demand. Every restaurant. bakers.
butchers and grocer's shop in this city
could show stores piled UP with food,
yet In thirty days, with supplies shut
Off. there would be famine here. That
is precisely the case in the Klondike
country.
Miners have. during the last few
months. been coming in from their re-
mote claims expecting to buy their sup
plies for the coming year. They have
been able to buy only sufficient to keep
them for the present They dare not go
back TO their claims with the small
quantity they have. They must wait
until a fresh cargo arrives. Even IL
they can be kept from starvation or
from such privations as accompany a
prospective scarcity. the whole mining
season will be wasted, except upon such
claims as are within easy distance of
the supply stations.
II the apprehensions are all miscal-
culated. and the expedition should take
in supplies which are not Immediately
needed, they can be sold and the gov
eminent will not lose much. while a
splendid experience will have been af-
forded not only the men on the exped-
ton, but the department of war; whose
business it is to understand and to be
prepared to meet just such difficulties.
