Are You to Live In Asaskn.
Some Requirements that will be Found In
dispensable.

Some Requirements that will be Found In
dispensable.
The universal article Of diet in that
country, depended upon and indispen-
sable, is bread or biscuit. And to
make the bread or biscuit, either in
the camp or upon the trail, yeast can
not be used-it must be baking powder;
and the powder manufactured by the
processes of the Royal Baking Powder
Company, miners and prospectors have
stand in that peculiar climate of cold
and dampness and raise the bread and
biscuit satisfactorily.
These facts are very important for
everyone proposing to go to Alaska
and the Yukon country to know, for
should he be persuaded by some out
filter to take one of the cheaper brands
of baking powder, it will cost just as
much to transport it, and then when he
opens it for use, after all his labor in
packing it over the long and difficult
route, he will find a solid caked mass
or lot of spoiled powder, with no
strength and useless. Such a mistake
might lead to the most serious results.
Alaska is no place in which to expert
ment in food, or try to economic with
your stomach. For use in such a eli
mate and under the trying and fatigu-
| ing conditions of life and labor in that
country, everything must be the best
and most useful, and above all it is i'm
perative that all food supplies shall
have perfect keeping qualities. 1t is
absured to convey over such difficult
and expensive routes an article that
will deteriorate in transit, nor that will
be found when required for use to have
lost great part of it's value.
There is no better guide to follow in
these matters than the advice of those
who have gone through similar ex
perience. Mr.. McQuestion, who il
called "the father of Alaska" after ar
experience of years upon the trail, ir
the camp, and in the use of every kline
Of supply, says: ave find in Alaska
that the Importance of proper kind Of
baking powder cannot be overestimat
ed. .lA:miner with can of bad baking
powder is almost helpless in Alaska
We have tried all sorts, and have beer
obliged to settle down to use nothing
but the Royal 1t is stronger ant
carries further, but above all things, i
is the only powder that will endure thu
severe climatic changes of the Arti
region"
1t is for the same reason that the U
S. Government in its relief expeditions
and Peary, the famous Attic traveller
have carried the Royal Baking Powde
exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will no
cake nor lose its strength either ON boar
ship or in damp climates, and is tn
most highly concentrated and efficien
of leavening agents. Hence it is indis
pensable to every Alaskan outfit.
can be had of any OF. 1.-The trading com
panies in Alaska, but should the mine
procure his supplies before leaving, b

filter to palm off upon him any of tn

disappointment and trouble.

Concerning An "Asslnine Plea"

An extract from letter on tne gov
ernorship, by Hon. Hugh Henry, is
printed in another column of the
WATERMAN. There is only one cir
cumstance that marks any similarity
between the candidacy of Gen. McCul-
Tough and that of Frederick Billings in
1872. This is the fact of residence and
business occupation in New York city,
while retaining citizenship in Vermont.
Objection to a mans candidacy for Of
fee in this State, on the score Of
outside residence and interest, consti-
tute, in Judge Henry's phrase, an "as-
SHINE plea" But several other ele-
ments, or complications, must be inject
ed into the pending canvass before it
will, in any other particular, bear the
slightest likeness to that in which Mr..
Billings was "turned down."
Mr.. Billings was too great man to
take to heart defeat in fair field. 1t
was the fact that he felt that he had
been made the victim Of deception or
treachery that added bitterness to dis
comfiture. If there is anything "as-
SHINE" in the developments of the can
vsss thus far, it will, be found in the
extraordinary assumptions of this cham
pion of General Mccullough. What is
there in his statement of the case for
his client that should give the latter
precedence high over any other citizen
of Vermont who may aspire to the gov
ernorship? "There are Others" Yer
monters to the manner born or who are
members of the New York colony, for
whom everything may be said that
Hugh Henry says for General McCul-
Tough; and why should Vermont turn
any of these summarily down "to please
the ambition of another MANI"
The WATCHMAN does not hold to the
objection which Judge Henry seems to
anticipate will be strong cause of OPP
position to his candidate; nor does it
see the force or reason of the converse
of that "assinine plea," which seeks to
give the man from Bennington and
New York priority of consideration
over every other man in Vermont.
Nor does it necessarily follow that the
test of the "honest expression" of the
"thought" of the voters at the eau
cuses for the choice of delegates to the
nominating convention will be the Sc.
lection of men favorable to General Nc
Cullough. Honest men, in the honest
expression of their preference, may
have other leanings.
The trouble with the judge seems tc
be that, in the treatment of this matter
he is hysterical rather than judicial
When it comes to running for Office in
this State General Mccullough mus
take pot-luck with other Vermonters
No reasonable man can expect that al
others ambitious of preference shall bt
side-tracked, the switches spiked dowr
and the right of way to the main line
reserved for him alone. General Nc
Cullough doesn't expect it. All hi
asks, we assume, is a fair field and NJ
favors. To this he is entitled. AM
other plea is assinine.

EVERY member of the House voted last
week Tuesday for the appropriation OF $780,
600, 900 to be expended at the discretion of
the President for the national defense.
Party lines were swept away and with a
unanimous voice Congress voted its con-
fidence in the administration. Many mem
bers who were paired with absent colleagues
took the responsibility Of breaking their
pairs, an unprecedented thing in legislative
annals, in order that they might go on rec
ord in support OF this vast appropriation to
maintain the dignity and honor OF their
country. Speaker Reed. who, as the pre-
siding officer, seldom votes only in case of a
tie, had his name called and voted in his
capacity as representative. The scene of
enthusiasm which greeted the announc-
ment of the vote-ayes 81, noes none-has
seldom been PARALLEL in the House. All
day long the galleries were jammed with
enthusiastic spectators, applauding to the
echo the sterling patriotism Of the words OF
eloquence which were uttered by the mem
beers on the floor.

CONGRESS is very decidedly opposed
to anything that might be construed by
the world as an alliance between the
United States and Great Britain. The
feeling against entangling foreign COM
plications is quite as strong now as it
was in the days of George Washington.
This nation does not need help from
England to fight its battles, and does
not intend to help England to fight her
battles. This feeling has been strongly
expressed since the idea became preva-
lent that England is trying to make
use of the probability of war with
Spain to inveigle the United States into
an alliance offensive and defensive
with her. 1t is all very pretty to talk
about an alliance between the English
speaking people being strong enough
to dominate the world, but the United
States isn't in the dominating business,
and has no idea of going into it. Be-
sides, it has many and growing CONNER
cial interests that are necessarily direct
ly opposed 10 those of England, and
other European nations. Having sue
cessfully played lone hand for more
than a century, and managed to make
greater progress than any other nation
on earth, it isn't likely that the United
States will care to hamper itself with g
partner now.

1T would really be useless to try to
enlighten the Herald of Rutland as to
"the things that Senator Proctor does
not say" To comprehend some things
implies proper furnishing of the cere-

temporary's garnet do not promise well,
even for the understanding of common
things, let alone the occult workings
of Senator Proctor's mind.

my last recollection of the camp in

old soldier, twas of my mother. We
had been in camp for days. for weeks,
in fact, filling up the regiment and
drilling and getting equipped, and get

mustered in, and the next day after that
we started.
eft was nightfall when we fell in for
the last time in the company streets of
our first camp and marched out and
formed on the color line. There was a
great crowd there, relatives and friends
and sightseers come to see the regiment

The Bulldog a Good Dog.

No member of the canine family has
been more persistently maligned than
the bulldog. Writers who have no in
innate knowledge of the dog and his at
tributes have described him as stupidly
ferocious, and illustrators have pictured
him as sort of semiwild beast, till the
general public has come to look upon
him as dangerous.
"Give dog bad name,' is an old
saw, and perhaps true one, but when
it is applied to the bulldog it is mani
testify unjust. Writers, too, have fallen
into grave error in claiming that the
bulldog is deficient not only in affec-
tion, but in intelligence.
Stonehenge, who is considered one of
the greatest of canine scientists, claims
that the bulldogs brain is relatively
larger than that of the spaniel, which
dog is generally considered to be the
most intelligent of the canine race,
while the bulldogs affection is never to
be doubted.

The citizens of Sank Centre know
a good thing when they see it, they
should have an opportunity of seeing
a good thing. 1t is this consideration
which has induced a number of our
leading citizens to guarantee the man
agement of ':The Pixies" full house
to induce them to repeat this charm
ing operetta on Jan. q. The same
cast and the same elaborate mounting
will be used as before, and the author
will spend the last few days rehears-
ing here, so that 1t will be even better
than before. All the specialties which
captivated the audience at it's first pro-
duction will be repeated. The first en-
gagement here resulted in a heavy loss
owing to Christmas festivities and
election excitement; all who attended
were so loud in their praises that
those unable to attend have clamored
for it's repetition, and arrangements
are now completed. Let every lover
of good thing turn out and fill the
Grand to it's utmost capacity. Prices
will remain at Is, % and IS cents.
