of only 13,COOl At the same ratio for one
year means the sum of 1928 1896, or an in
crease of $23 for every man, woman and

the common laborer. These factories were
running with the same management in 1896
as they have to-day.

The Victoria Coffee Company, however
sent in a bid for coffee alone, and as it
agreed to furnish the best grade of Mara
caibo at 1212 cents pound it was given the
contract.
In coming to a decision as to awarding
the contract the state officials considered
the saving that could be effected by award
ing it to the party offering the staples
which would be most used at the lowest fig
ure. Beans which were used probably in
greater quantities than any other item on
the list, was quoted lowest by Kothe Wells
& Bauer. who were also as low on all
things and lower in most than any of the
other bidders.
The universal sentiment among the state
officials is that the Sentinel. If it concludes
to print what 1t found yesterday will have
hard work showing anything but public
duty well done on the part OF the officers in
publishing the true facts in the above mat
ter.

A WORD OF ADVICE
To Those Coming to Alaska or the Klon-
dixie Gold Fields.

One thing should be impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader COM
ing to Alaska, to the Klondike, or the
Yakon country, and that is the necessity
for providing an adequate and proper
food supply. Whether procured in the
states, in the Dominion, or at the sup
ply stores here or further on, this must
be his primary concern. Upon the
manner in which the miner has obser-
we'd 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 unimpaired indefinitely
under all the conditions which they will
have to encounter is imperative. For
instance, as bread raised with baking
powder must be relied upon for the chief
part OF every meal, imagine the helpless
ness OF miner with can OF spoiled
baking powder. Buy only the very best
-four; it is the cheapest in the end. Ex-
perence has shown the Royal Baking
Powder to be the most reliebe and the
trading companies now uniformly sup
ply 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 necess tiles upon
which all must place chief reliance,
and can under no circumstances be neg
lected. They may, OF course, be sup
plemented by as many comforts or de-
licacies as the prospector may be able
to pack or desire to pay for.-From the
Alaska Mining Journal.

A RoxnI Inn-Keener.

The King of Wurtemburg may cer- tainly be said to be the only Knight of the Garter who is a hotel-keeper as yell as a monarch. This has long been } tradition in his family, but not till lately was 1t discovered by the rulers of the beautiful little German kingdom how profitable inn-keeping can be- come. When Peter the Great was travelling incognito through Europe he refused to stop anywhere but at an inn. To circumyent this Whim the then King of Wurtemburg put tavern sign outside one of the royal palaces, and dressed as an inn-keeper, himself well comed the czar. This royal personage's descendant now owns two large hotels, from which he is said to derive rev enue of 912,O00 a year.

s2no. 900 for One Word.

What would you think if you could make $250000 by speaking single word? Hon. William M. Evarets, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, once received the enormous fee of S250,- 900 for a legal opinion he expressed in just one word of three letters.
 A great corporation desired legal opinion on a matter involving millions of dollars, for upon 1t practically de- pended that corporations very exist ence. They decided to refer the ques- tion, which was wholly one of the cor rect interpretation Of law, to William M. Eyarts, and to be guided wholly by his opinion. Their lar Ter stated their case to the Senator, 3 asked him the important question. Evarts' reputa- ton and success are wholly due, not as a cross-examiner or conductor of cases, but simply to his remarkable knowledge of law and his power, which seems almost like intuition, of deter mining just how tn Supreme Court will decide any question of law.
 When the attorney for the great eor- poration put his question, so vitally important to that corporation's exist ence. Evarts sat buried in thought for minute, and then answered in one word, Yes. His bill for the one word was $250,000, and the corporation paid it without a murmur. Evarts' answer proved to be correct.

A JOKE ON THE POLICEMAN

How French Policeman Got Reinforee-
 ments to Capture Supposed Thief
 Mile Jeanne Granier, the well known French actress, once met with an amusing adventure. It happened at Marseilles. In one of the little pieces she plays by herself she has for access sorry the lay figure of a man, skilfully articulated and dressed in travelling suit, with which she dances. The figure during her voyage was enYeloped in tight fitting covering.
 On reaching Marsellles 1t was left in the luggage room with other things. The curiosity of two railway employees being aroused at the sight of it, they took off the covering and resolved to play a joke on their comrades They placed the figure in an arm chair at the desk of the cashier and shut the door. When the employees on night service came they opened the door and were surprised to see man sitting down before the cash box. They immediate ly closed and locked the door and ran for assistance.
 A policeman arrived, revolver in hand, believing, like the employees, that he had to deal with dangerous thief. He called on the figure to sur- render and follow him to the sta- ton. As it did not obey the summons, the policemen shut the door and went in search of endorsements to sur- round the place, and thereby to prevent the culprit from escaping. The door was again opened the armed force entered and it was not until they had suddenly bounced on the poor lay rob- Der that they discovered the joke.
