THE wretched incompetence and
neglect which have resulted in so
much suffering, sickness and death
at the volunteer camps, have aroused
such Indignation that only thor
ough investigation to fix the respon-
sibility will satisfy the public. The
New York State authorities decline
to make public the report of Surgeon
General Terry with reference to
Camp Thomas, but enough has be-
come known about it to show that it
revealed a condition of criminal
negligence that will be hard to ex-
plain away.

From Dawson City.

Fred Jungst, in letter to his mother,
,ted at Dawson City, August 3. encloses
many interesting items that we find
space for this week. Among other
things he says:
There are more people now going out
OF the country than are coming in. Many
OF these now coming In reach Dawson
only to turn and 70 back. Two-thirds OF
those now here do not know what they
came for, and how they will pull through
the coming winter is what many are now
wondering.
Grub is quite cheap compared with a
few months ago. Flour sells at So to So
sack (fifty pounds; beans 8 to Is cents
pound; butter 81 per pound; sugar 80
cents pound; bacon 20 to 80 cents, and
dried fruits at 20 to 40 cents pound. A
wa'ermelon sells for s25.
"There are many Yakima people here
now. have recently seen Mr.. Coburn
and Charles Lille; also Mr.. Banks,
formerly chief clerk at the reservation.
They estimate the population of Dawson
City at 5000, but il is little overdrawn
in my opinion. None OF the Yakima
boys have struck anything very rich vet
except Morford.
Emil Schanno, Fl. A. Griffin and g
Ker ran in on us yesterday. We were
pleased to see them, too Am now buy
ing our winters supply of grub. We ex.
pect to work for wages this winter and
prospect more. Two Of onr claims have
not proved very paying, but we are still
hoping to make rich strike"

The Sucker Season.

Tie fake circus struck il rich in ElIens
burg, and it is Illuminating to chronicle
the fact that people could be found IN
our community SO short on sense-to he
plain, such consumate foos--as to tackle
the skin games that formed an adjunct
to the humbug aggregation. Yet a mum.
Der of men walked up and were skinned
while they waited.
One man, who long ago passed the hal
century mark, hauled out roll of bills
"just to blnff" the shell man. "Let me
count it," said the rascal and took it on,
OF the mans hand, at the same time tell
ing the hayseed to lift the shell. He did
it, but nothing was under it, and he
pocketed the moDey-$170. The Kittitas
man demanded it back, but the fellow
coolly said, "the man who bets mus
lose," and paid no further attention te
him. The victim came up town for ar
officer, but when they returned the bird
had flown.
Another well known rancher laid 4
hundred dollars in gold that he bad the
little black ball located under particu
lar shell. Up it came, but no ball was
there, and the victim put in the afternoon
in giving vent to his rage.
A lady sat in one of our dry goods
stores in the afternoon pricing winter
wraps. One, the price OF which was five
dollars, suited her well, but after Ion,
study she concluded she could not afforc
it and walked out. Her husband in tina
same hour bet 500 on the shell game ant
lost it. And there were Others. Com
ment is unnecessary. Elensburg Capt.

Why the Price Of Wool Is Low.

Tie Portland Oreeonian says the con-
sumption of wool in the United States
for the year ended June 80. 1898, was
about 100000, 000 pounds, which is about
what it was in the best year Of the indus
try, 1892. On the basis of S07 ,Os9, 05G
pounds in sight, manufacturers have
enough wool on hand, at last years rate
of consumption, to last them for about
one year and half. This explains why
they have instructed their agents to dis
continue buying, and why there is SO
wide difference between the views OF
buyers and growers.
