the proposition Of st. Paul attempting
to secure the designation of a. SUNNY
depot under the federal Indian bureau.
at meeting of the development com
mittee yesterday presented a report.
The Indian bill Of last year authoriz
ed the establishment of a branch depot
at Omaha, but did not appropriate anv
money to carry out its provisions. Not
Withstanding the fact that Omaha has
offered to donate a building free of
expense to the government, the In
dian bureau has not found it expedi-
ent to establish a branch depot in that
city, as it is not favorably situated for
supplying the greater part of the In
dian tribes Of the Northwest with goods
furnished by the government.
Mr.. Feldhauser reports: That the
transportation facilities are not such as
to warrant the location of the depot
at Omaha-it having been shown that,
in order to reach the vast reservations

up to the bars of the Stewart river,
and there was able to make about SO
day. His food supply running out,
he started down the river to get some
at the company's stores at Forty Mile.
When he came to the Klondike he
heard about the discovery that had
just been made. He went with the
rush as fast as his old legs would carry
him., and succeeded in getting one of
the best claims on Ell Dorado. He be-
gan working it at once, and the next
spring he went back to Seattle with
100000 in cash.
Now it seems that his family had
been little short of funds in his alb
sence, and Mrs. Stanley was obliged to
take in washing. Two or three days
after Pops arrival some of Mrs. Stan

1 don't know where your clothes are.
We aren't in the washing business
now, he said. There are some clothes
outside in a tub where she set 'em
when I came home. Ask her about
'em."
When the patrons went into the front
room they found Mrs Stanley sur
rounded by dressmakers and expensive
cloths. 1t was with some difficulty that
she could recall any incidents
preceding the time Of her hus-
bands arrival, but finally she
told her patrons that they could
get the clothes if they picked them up
anywhere about the house. And the
patrons had to wiring them out Of the
tub themselves. AS soon as they had
their new gowns Mrs. Stanley and her
daughters rode around town in car
riages to their hearts content
The father of the luck Of all these
men was 'Siawash George" Cormack,
who receives the credit of being the
d1scoverer of gold on the Klondike, but
the discovery was really made by his
squaw's brother, Indian Charlie. Cor
mack had lived so long among the In
dams that he was more of an Indian
than a white man himself, and he was
the father of four or-five half breed
children. In the summer he fiShed with
the Indians for the winters supply.~in
the autumn he went hunting with
them, and in the winter his principal
occupation, like that of the Indians,
was keeping warm. While he was fish
ing in the Klondike his brother-in -law
had gone up Bonanza creek, which
flows into the Klondike, to track a
moose. His brother-in-law didn't get
the moose, but in STOPPING to pick up
his mUck-luck on the way back he saw
something glistening by the side OF the
creek, which, on investigation, proved
to be gold.
Peculiarly enough, on the day that I
visited Siawash Georges claim some OF
the newcomers in the country were

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Oct. 16.-"A
blanket, a few sticks of wood, and a
match-thats all it will cost me to
die"
These words were spoken the other
day by Joaquin Miller, the Bard of
the Sierras," seated in his lonely little
cabin home in the mountains back of
Oakland, Cal. The poet has just fin,
ished building his funeral pyre, made
from the powders into a pile of ma
sonry, which his own hardy hands
have helped to fashion. The pile is
nine feet high. having a surface on top
of 100 square feet. Upon these stones,
picked up in his doOryard, all that is
mortal of Joaquin Miller will some day
be reduced to dust, and his ashes will
be scattered by the winds about the
hills he now knows and loves so well.
Years ago Mr.. Miller bought this lit
tie patch of rocks in the hills of the
Coast range-100 acres in all. No spot
ON earth is now so dear to him as this,
and thousands OF dollars have been
spent TO enhance its beauty. A large
force Of men is kept constantly at work
piling up the stones and powders into
monuments of various kinds which are
being erected to the memory of noted
men, writer's and pioneers of the poet s
acquaintance.
The pyre is built upon a hill over

be necessary to cover certain distances
twice in shipping from Omaha.
We find that ST. Paul's claims, as be-
ing the most advanta geously located
city for distributing point, have been
presented, and that considerable work
has been done in a preliminary way
towards having this city designated as
the place of establishment of branch
Indian supply depot.
But it will require united and persist
emf effort on the part of our business
men and jObbers to show the depart
ment and to impress upon congress that
which we so we'll know ourselves, viz,
that, as a railroad center and proper
distributing point, ST. Paul is the log
ical place for selection. 1t must also
be satisfactorily shown that our IA
cilities are fully equal, in many re-
spects superior, to many other cities to
furnish the kind of goods and commod-
tiles which the government purchase
for the Indians.
A common grade of shoes, blankets
and clothing, farm implements and sup
plies for the various Indian agencies
we believe, can be produced here as
low as at any other point in the coun1
try.
While it is true that the furnishing
Of these supplies Is open to COMPETE
tors bids, we nevertheless feel that, to
certain degree, the Eastern cities
have secured more than their share. We
are Of the opinion that they thus Sc
cure an advantage by acting together
and making business arrangements
whereby several firms handling differ
ent kinds Of goods cooperate in max
Ing figures to the Indian department.
This can be done in the West as we'll
as in the East
On the question Of location for pro-
posed warehouse, we are advised that
it Is the policy of the government not
to accept any free donations, such as
was embodied in the Omaha PROPOSE
ton, in offering a site and building free
Of cost to the government. Congress-
makes annual appropriations for the
maintenance and support of each de-
partment, and there is no authority for
any official to accept any free donation
of any sort.
In this instance, however, the govern
ment can locate it's branch or principal
Indian supply depot in this city in one
of it's own buildings.
The present federal building at the
corner of Fifth street and Wabasha
street can be utilized for the purpose
and would be an admirable point for
the establishment of a branch ware
house, where supplies could be stored,
where samples of the various kinds Of
goods called for could be exhibited and
examined for purchase.
We therefore recommend that there
be a permanent committee from the
club appointed to work on the lines
suggested in this report and to visit
Washington, If it is considered neces-
sary to push the claims of st. Paul.
