John q. Wood Returned Saturday From
Skagway,

Some time since John G. Wood, of
this city, went to Alaska to look over
the situation for al outlook for bust
ness, and got home S>>urd>( night,
having been just week making the
return trip. Mr. Wood visited juneau.
Dyea and Skagway while in Ala-ka
aud reports all three places bUuming.
Skagway and DSea especially are ile.
ly, those cities being more closely con
nected with the mines ou Klondike
than is Juneau.
During the two weeks Mr.. Wood
was at Skagway, hardly a day passed
that someone did not arrive from
Dawson. and all reported rich strikes
having been made in the mines during
the ia |.
They are coming out in parties of
from to 20, and are ab)ut 81 days on
the trip between Dawson and Skagway.
Those who come out report plenty
of provisions on the Klondike; and in
sist that there need be no suffering
from hunger at Dawson during the
winter. The Alaska Commercial Co.
have abundant supplies in their stores,
bnt the impression prevails that they
are holding every thing for the highest
price obtaina hle. giving out the i'm
preston that there is a scarcity of pro-
visions in order to be ena bled to put
prices to the highest figure. The
mum Der of people at Dawson is var
iously estimated at from 5000 to 1000,
and is in reality about 5000. The
gre ater portion of these have abund-
ant provisions to last them until river
uavigatioa opens on the Yukon, and
those VINO are not provided for can be
supplied from the stores.
Mr.. Wood says there is no abate-
men6 in the rush to Ala-ka. Every
with gold hunters, and within few
weeks the great rush across the differ
ent pesses will begin.
Travelling now is somewhat diff
ont owing TO the IacG tnat lne rapids
on P.lly and Yukon rivers have not
frozen over, herce it is very dangerous
getting around places on the river
that have not frozen over.
While in Skagway, Nr. Wood saw
Leslie Butler, of The Dalles, quite
often, and found him doing thriving
business. He also saw jack Hubrirk,
who left here in September. He is
doing some real estate business in
Dyea, and is making money.
MIR. Wood was quite favorably i'm
pressed with this business outlook at
Skagway. and expects to return on the
steamer Oregon, whose sailing Gate
will be about the 10Th of the month,
providing he can get the freight taken
which he wants to take with him.
AS business proposition Mr.. Wood
thinks Skagway and Dyea will both
furnish many opportunities the COM
ing season, but he has no desire to
hazard trip across the passes to the
Klondike.

The Flight Of w. 4, German.

The news cones from EllensFurg
that Professor W. L. German, q
teacher in the state normal school
located at thai place, who is well
known in PenGleton, where he taughI

tons public school. afterwards becom.
ing q teacher in the normal school at
Weston, from where he went to Ellens-
burg, had taken hasty departure from
that town because ofa criminal charge
made against him by a boy pupil.
The faculty say there was no con-
elusive proof of his guilt but bis flight
is accepted as practically a confession.

Trolley Limo in Chicago Which Operates
Cut One Car.

To the average Ch.cagoan n trolley
line unconsc.ously suggests great dis
tanccs. Ills city is so big. 1t will sur
prise many, therefore, to learn that n
line actually in operation in the husi-
ness district, the rolling stock of which
runs tTii.c less than five blocks.
This line, says the Chronicle, operates
on Ciar!; street and simply runs from
Washington to Illinois street. It's roll
ing stock consists of one car, and its
operatives include one conductor and
one motorE;au. 1t is run for the
special lcre!it of South Water street
merchants who live on the north side,
but is safe to say not one of these men
in thousand know that such is the
rase. AS for the general public no, enc
person in the thousand, know of its ex-
istence. Incidentally, too, the line is
operated to retain the franchise.
eve give transfers to the cable line
go:rg north" said the conductor when
asl:ed for information, "but we don't
transfer to any other cars"
"Tave you many passengers each
dav?"
"Yes; we're crowded." he said, with q
laugh. "Conetimes I get one-then

Bullets Detected by Electricity.

In Switzerland recently conducted
experiments show that the course of
bullets may be detected by electric
wires. Four wires were strung par
allel to and 125 feet away from the
line of fire at the range near Thun.
At intervals of 80 feet the course of the
bullet was marked by paper screens.
A cnrrenb of 5000 volts caused de-
flection Of IS feet from the course. and
toward the wires at a distance of 275
yards. 4 Jaoanese rife threw a slender
bullet that went straight for the wir, .s
and followed their course in close con-
tact until its energy was spent in fric-
tiOn. Even cannon balls were affect
ed by the current.-Chicago Inter

Ripe bananas, grown in the Oregon
agricultural college greenhouse, were
exhibited on the streets of Corvallis
by Secretary Yates last week. The
fruit is supposed to be the first of the
sort ever grown in Oregon, and was as
toothsome as bananas from the tropics.
Banana trees have been kept in the coll
lege greenhouse for several years, but
ttey had never before born fruit, and
the cause for the present production is
supposed to be that the trees, which
have hitherto been potted, were
planted in mother earth last year.
