EXPEDITION CALLED OFF
KLONDIKE RELIEF Project NOW
FORMALLY ABANDONED
In the Opinion Of Secretary AIrer
No Necessity Exists for Sending
PrOvf sions to the Miners ut Daw-
son City and Vicinity-Reindeer
for Sale at Low Prices.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The war
department has decided to abandon its
expedition for the relief Of the miners
in the Klondike country, because the
conclusion has been reached that no
necessity exists for it. Secretary Alger
has written letter to Senator Hawley
chairman Of the senate committee on
military affairs, explaining the depart
ment's position, and asking that con-
gress take action by joint resolution
authorizing the department to dispose
Of the supplies purchased for the ex-
pedition, including the reindeer which
have just arrived from Norway, ana
to abandon the project entirely.
In his letter Secretary Alger says
the conditions on the Yukon have
changed so as to render the expedition
unnecessary, and that Gen. Miles and
Gen. Merriam both agree with him. He
is also advised to this effect by the
Canadian minister of the interior. Later
cember, when the expedition was de-
cided upon, indicate, he says, that the
miners are in no danger Of suffering,
and he thinks that the great crowds
Of prospectors now going in over Dyea
pass will carry sufficient provisions to
divide with the miners in case they
need assistance.
Gen. Alger expresses the opinion
that the reindeer can be sold at price
sufficient to reimburse the government
for their cost. He says he has been
offered $100 each for 100 Of them This
is above the cost price. He also states
that the interior department is anxious
to take charge Of the animals. He also

The tug Cotton, which was forced
to let 60 of Francis Bros, hemlock
raft Thursday night of last week
near Salmon Trout river and run
into Ontonagon for shelter, put
out again Saturday and sue
ceeded in securing the raft which
Captain Bourrassa found ashore
near Fourteen.Mile Point. The cap
tain had taken the precaution to
fasten the tugs anchor to the tow
line before letting 80 of the raft,
which acted as drag and kept the
raft from going ashore at rapid
gait, thus preventing it breaking
up. When he found it there was
not more than fifty logs of the raft
of 200, 600 feet outside the boom and
these being close by were easily Sc
cured. Capt. Bourrassa is one of
the bravest as well as one of the
most cool headed men that sails the
lakes, and his presence of mind dur
ing the severe storm which he en-
countered that night saved his boat
and crew, as well as the raft for
