nels of trade and industry. The re-
ceipts of the p%ostoffice department
for the last quarter for which they
have been published show an increase
of about 81 ,OOO. 900. or 5 per cent over
the corresponding period of the pre-
ceding year. Lastly, the number of
failures, and the liabilities of the in
solvent concerns, as reported by
Dun's mercantile agency, show a
most gratifying decrease. The num-
Der of failures during the six months
ending January 81 were 6,937, as
compared with S,547 in the six
months ending January 81, 1897, and
the liabilities only $66, 0O0, 900, as
against Sl31 ,OOO, 900 during the cor
responding period with which the
comparison is made.
1t will thus be seer that despite the
low price of silver, there is a marked
increase In business activity, partly
due to an improvement in the condi.
ton of the agricultural industry and
partly to the general restoration OF
confidence. The individual who

and granted a new trial. From this
decision plaintiffs appealed. Now
the supreme court has upheld Judge
DuBose and a new trial will be had,
but the case is practically closed, and
Bennett has won.
Although Bennett wins this suit it
must not be supposed he comes out
ahead on the job, for he probably
lost more on the side bets than he
wins ON the purse, by several hun.
dred dollars. If anyone is ahead, it
is Crowley, though ever that il
doubtful.
Judge Hunt, who delivered the
opinion for the court, says, in gen.
eral comment on horse racing:

QUEER LAKE A

Its Waters Grow Warm I'm Winter ant
Men Can Fish There with Clubs.
The rich placers of Klondike are not
the only curiosity of the country trav-
ersed by the Yukon. Not far from Daw
son there is in Alaska a really extraor-
binary lake which vas named Salawik
by its d~iscoverer, Rev. p. Tosi, a mis-
sionary among the savages.
This lake, which is 10 miles long and
about Is miles wide, is perhaps the
only one in all that extreme northern
region which does not freeze over dur.
ing the winter. No communication has
been discovered between it and the
sea, nevertheless, at high water upon
the coasts of the northern ocean, the
level of the lake rises, and it falls again
at low tide.
This sympathy with the sea does not
extend to the point of making Salawik
a salt lake; on the contrary, its waters
are good to drink. But another of its
peculiarities is that its temperature
rises in winter and falls in summer,
When all the water courses of the neigh
boring country are completely frozen
over, Lake Salawik becomes so warm
that it is really pleasant to battle in it
On the other hand, in the summer time
The water is extremely cold.
This popularity makes il in the win
ter time a Mecca of fishermen. The
abundance of fish in the lake is so great
that a person can almost catch them
with the hand, and can kill large quaint
ties with a club. Here for the miners
is a source of o supply which GER
tainly will contribute to diminish the
cost of living, especially during the win
ter, in that inhospitable region. In
an hour a man can get enough fish to
supply himself for II month, and of the
very best quality, including salmon,
ranging from 20 to so pounds in weight.
1t will not be astonishing if some fine
day we may see upon the shores of Lake
Salawik one of those fashionable hotels
which are the glory of American water
ing places.-Republique, of Lewiston,
Me.

Favorable Conditions.

A year ago the Bryanites loudly
contended that the triumph OF repub-
lican principles was n bad thing for
the country. Because prosperity did
not Immediately follow the election
of Mckinley, they predicted that
nothing could improve the condi-
tions except the restoration of silver.
Now the most of them admit that
times are greatly improved, but, like
the Helena Independent, they attrib-
ute the betterment wholly and solely
to the shortage in the foreign wheat
crop. For n while last fall some con-
tended that the rise in the price of
wool was the result of certain cOndi-
tions In Australia, but since it devel-
oped that the London market quo
tation was less than the prevailing
price here by just about the amount

able agricultural conditions have
helped to swell the tide of prosperity,
but it should be remembered that
the uplift has been general. Statis-
tician Hyde of the agricultural de-
partment says that the farmers have
been the gamers by the higher prices
for cereals of the crops of 1897 to the
extent of over $3.50, 900 900 over 1896.
They have received more for hay and
wool and other products, while they

in hogs and a totalincrease in values
of SOC, OOO, 900, pretty evenly distrib-
uted.
There is no better index to business
conditions than is afforded by trans
p~ortation receipts. A recently pub
lished statement of the traffic
through the canals at Sault Ste.
Marie showed an increase of not less
than IL per cent in freight tonnage
over the preceding year. This was
not due 10 the large wheat crop, for
the shipments of wheat via the great
lakes was somewhat less than in the
preceding year. 1t was made up
largely of ar increase of "a per cent
in the tonnage of iron nre, and there
was also an increase of 30 per CEN in
the amount of hard coal and of Is
per cent in the amount of lumber
transported, the total tonnage
transported being greatly in excess
of that of any previous year. While
Mr.. Hyde we not in possession of
recent statistics of railroad earnings,
a comparison of the prices of rail-
road stocks on March l with those
of the corresponding date last year
showed n most remarkable increase,
not only in the granger roads, but i'm
the most stable railroad properties
of the eastern states.
