ovEREsT1MATED KLoND1KE
Ex-Chief Of Detectives Moffatt; No
Enthusiastic on the Subject

Ex-Chief of Detectives c. J. Moffatt, who
returned Thursday from n!Ie-months'
fortune hunt in tho hills OF Alaska, Is not
enthusiast site on the subject Of the Klond.ke.
On the contrary, he denounces 1t as the
most over-estimated country on the race
of the earth.
Moffatt, with Officer Frank Benedict and
ex-Captain Loomis Of the police force, left
here in March last, provided with first-class
outfits and plenty of confidence IN their
success. After many hartsMps. they To-
Gated a small claim on the Stewart r.ver,
which developed Just enough Of the yellow
metal to keep them working, hoping for
better results. Moffatt was stricken with
severe attack Of malarial fever. which
pulled his weight down fifty pounds.
About this time his companions decided
to try their luck N another part OF the dis
trict. so Moffatt gave up the fight and re-
turned to this city.
He said yesterday that there are not more
than two hundred big claims in the whole
district ,and that they are held at such
fabulous prices that 1t Is almost imposs.-
BILE to get within miles Of them. Benedict
and Loomis have taken UP camp for the
winter on the Yukon river, near Dawson.

FRIDAY MORNING CLUB
W. r. Burbank and Mrs. Wadleigh on
Public Libraries

The Friday morning club held an inter-
esting meeting yesterday morning In the
club rooms, the discussion being entirely
upon the subject of libraries in general and
especially the public library In our own
city. William F.. Burbank gave an in
formal talk on "The Abuse Of libraries"
noting specially the lack Of a suitable build
ing for library purposes in this city and the
large circulation of books here as COM
pared with other cities with the correspond
ing lack Of funds from which to secure the
books demanded Mr.. Burbank also spoke
Of the unfortunate selection, which some
times occurs, Of directors whose incompe-
tency or inability to serve on account Of
business duties make them q hindrance
rather than help in promoting the best
interests Of the public library.
Mrs. H. G. Wadleigh, librarian in this
city, then gave an interesting talk on '~The
Library; a Safeguard" The work In the
Juvenile department was considered at
some length and the fact emphasized that,
through the wise selection. of good pictures
and the thoughtful arrangement Of lists
Of good books. the child should be guided in
the selection Of helpful reading byewhich
The natural tendency toward ng4lt ntera-
ture would be to large extent overcome.
Nrs. Wadleigh spoke Of the high charac-
ter of fiction now in the library and the
notably small percentage Of but little more
tAan atty IN the circulation Of nctson.

OCCIDENTAL IMPROVEMENTS
New Laboratory to Be Erected-Libra-
ry Contributions

ry Contributions
Work Will probably begin next week on
the new laboratory at Occidental college.
Through the kindness of Cyrus Nc Cormdck
of New York 1t has been made possible to
erect t}ree-room building separate from
the main college building, for experimental
purposes Before leaving the east, Prof,
Begg, who occupies the chair OF sciences
in the college, selected and purchased a
complete set Of chemical and physical ap-
paratus, which has arrived and will be un-
packed before the completion OF the build
ing. As the funds now on hand will prob
ably be insufficient for tAe completion OF
the building as is desired, only the outside
will be finished at present.
An attractive room in the main building
has been fitted up as library, Norman W.
Dodge Of New York contributing largely
to the admirable furnishings Of the apart
ment. Rev. j. Mcleod Gardner, formerly
pastor of the Third Presbyterian church of
this city, has donated his private library to
the college, and an appeal has been made
through the president, Rev. Guy w. Wads-
worth, to the various Presbyterian clergy
men and church members Of Southern Cal
ifornia for contributions of books of ref
erence, or on such subjects as theology,
philos ophy, science, history, biography or
