A WORD OF ADVICE.
To Those Coming to Alaska or the
KIondilee Gold Fields

To Those Coming to Alaska or the
KIondiIee Gold Fields.
One thing should be impressed upon
every miner. prospector or trader com
ing TO Alaska. to the Klondike. or the
Yukon country, and that Is the neces-
sity for providing an adequate and
proper food supply. Whether procured
in the States, in the Dominion, or at
the supply stores here or further on,
this must be his primary concern Up
on the manner in which the miner has
observed or neglected this precaution
more than upon any other one thing
will his success or failure depend.
These supplies must be healthful and
should be concentrated. but the most
careful attention in the selection Of
foods that will keep unimpaired indefi-
nitely under all the conditions which
they will have to encounter is i'm
perative. For instance. as bread raised
with baking powder must be relied up
on for the chief part of every meal.
imagine the helplessness of a miner
with can of spoiled baking powder.
Buy only the very best flour; 1t is the
cheapest in the end. Experience has
shown the Royal Baking Powder to
be the most reliable and the trading
companies now uniformly supply this
brand. as others will not keep in this
climate. Be sure that the bacon is
sweet, sound and thoroughly cured.
These are the absolute necessities upon
which all must place a chief reliance,
and can under no circumstances be
neglected. They may, of course, be
supplemented by as many comforts or
delicacies as the prospector may be
able to pack or desire to pay for
From the Alaska Mining Journal.
A book of receipts for all kinds OF
cookery. which is specially valuable for
uso upon the trail or in the camp. is
published by the Royal Baking Pow
der company, of New York. The re-
ceipts are thoroughly practical. and the
methods are carefully explained. SO
that the inexperienced may, with Its
aid. readily prepare everything requi-
site for good, wholesome meal. or
even dainties If he has the necessary
materials. The matter is In compact
though durable form, the whole book
weighing but twoaounces. Under a
special arrangement, this book will be
sent free to miners or others who may
desire It. We would recommend that
every one going to the Klondike pro-
cure a copy. Address the Royal Bak-
ing Powder Co., New York.

II people could only feel that they
were getting value received for their
taxes they would be much more ready
to pay them. Unfortunately they can
not feel this. American city govern
ments are notorlously inefficient and

OF the people. They can, have honest
government If they really want it
badly enough to work TO get 1t. and we
believe that in time the appeal to the
