Are You to Live in Alaska?
Some Requirements That viii be Found
indispensable.

The universal article of diet in that
able. is br' ad or biscuit And to make
the bread or biscuit, either in camp or
upon the trail, yeast cannot be used
mus, be baking powder; and the powder
manufactured by the processes OF the
ROYAL Baking Powder Company, miners
and pr"spectors have learned, is he only
one which will stand in that peculiar Ct,
mate of cold and dampness and rails,
the bread and biscuit satisfactorily.
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to go to Alaska and
the Yukon country TO know, tor should
he be persuaded by some out6tter to
take one of The cheap brands OF baking
powder, it will cost just as much 10 trans.
portit, and then when he opens it for use,
alter all his labor in packing it over tn,
long and difficult route, he will find solid
cahed 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
| experiment in TODD, or lrs to economic
with your stomach. For use in such a
climate, and under the try ing and fati
gung conditions of lite and labor in that
country, everything must be the best anr
most useful, and above all it is impera.
live that all food supplies shall have
perfect keeping qualities. 1t is absurd to
convey over such difficult and expensiv,
routes an article that will deterio ate in
transit. or that will be found when
required Tor use to have lost great part
oiils value.
There is no better guide to follow in
these matters than the advice of those
who have gone thi ough similar expert
ence. Mr.. McQuesten, who is called "tle
father of Alaska" alter an experience OF
years upon the trail, in camp, and in the
use OF every kind Of supply, says: "We
lind in Alaska that the importance OF a
proper kind OF baking powder cannot be
overestimated. A miner with a can o
bad baking powder is almost helpless in
Alaska. We have tried all sorts, am
have been obliged to settle down to ms,
nothing but the Royal 1t is stronger
and carries Their, but above all things,
It is the only powder that will endur,
he severe climatic changes OF the arcti,
region"
It is tor he same reasons that the U
: ) government in its relief expeditions
! and Peary. the famous arctic Traveller
have carried the Royal Baking Powde
I exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not cak
: nor lose its strength on board ship or il
damp climates, and is the most hiphl,
concentrated oileavening agents. Hrnc
It IS indispensable to every Alaskan ont
ht 1t can be had OF any OF the trauin,
( companies IN Alaska, but should tn
miner procure his supplies before leaving
, he should resist every attempt ofthe OUT
filter to palm off upon him any of tn
other brands OF baking powder, Tor the
t will spoil and prove) the cause of grea
disappointment and trouble.

The growing Importance of naviga-

ceived recognition by the issuance of
a monthly forecast map on the lines
that have been so successful in the
hands of the photographic bureau for
ocean navigation. The maps are in
tended to give warning to mariners a
month in advance of weather conditions
likely to be found, the results being
based on the comparison of a long series
of yearly observations.
The great lakes have been under a

Robert Stroud will spend the winter

Washington, Dec. 5.-'rhe opening ses-
sion Of the congress today was a spectac-
ular occasion, animated and brilliant.
There were more than the usual number
Of distinguished personages in the
thronged galleries, including many
representatives of foreign governments,
high officials and ladies and gentlemen
conspicuous in social and political life.
The greetings of the members were m ost
cordial and there was no outcrop of par
TITAN rancor to mar the occasion. One
of the most striking incidents was the
cordial greeting between the floor
lead ers Of the respective sides, Dinglcy
and Bailey. In view of the gossip about
the possibility Of Bailey being deposed
as minority leader, it is significant that
the speaker named Bailey as minority
member of the committee to wait upon
the president, an honor always bestowed
upon recognized leader Of the minority.
Speaker Reed received a warm welcome
from both sides Of the house when he
assembled the rostrum to call the house
to order, but perhaps the greatest per-
sonal ovation to any member was that
given Maj Gen. Wheeler of Alabama,
who has not been seen by many Of his
old colleagues since he went to the front
at the end of the cavalry division of Gen.
Skaters army.

TWO TREATIES.
"A Report Comes from Washington to
the Effect That Two Treaties
Will be Signed.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The impression
prevails here that the result of the ne
gotiations at Paris will be embodied in
two or more treaties. instead of one.
There will be an actual peace treaty
embodying nothing more than the pro-
tocol points relating to the relinquish-
ment Of Spanish sovereignty over Cuba
and the Spanish West Indies. Guam
and the Philippines will be the single
exception of the proviso for the release
Of prisoners. All the other matters,
those relatiag to the renewal of COM
mercial treaties, the acquisition of cable
and coaliDg stations, and in fact all
those extraneous matters which have
been mentioned as likely TO be incor-
porated in the peace treaty will form
the subject of special treaty. This
conrsesis likely to be adopted in order
to hasten the conclusion of peace for
which there is great necessity, If for no
other reason than to secure the release
Of prisoners and the restoration Of trade
between Spain and the United States.

Prohibiting Sky-Scrapers.

The new Chicago ordinance against
sky-scrapers is an evidence Of the
change of public sentiment on the sub
ject on tall buildings. The time was
when the erection Of each new mon
strosity was hailed as gain to the city
that contained it ard was pointed out
to visitors rs an especially admirable
feature Of the landscape. But the nov
city Of the sky-scraper has worn off, and
now few are left t. defend it.
The Chicogo ordinance prohibits build
ings over ten stories, or 1870 feet, high.
Outside of that city the limit seems
absurdIy high, but it IS perhaps too
much to expect people of that place to
attempt too radical Il reform. They are
used to ELEVATIONS of twenty-five stories
and have cut off ten. After while
they may be willing to cut oil few
more.
These very tall buildings are now
recognized and admitted to be insight
ly. They are seldom profitable, but
unusually losing ventures. Their effect
upon surrounding real estate and the
general development Of community is
disastrous, for only the largest and most
rapidly expanding business can stand
the concentration of Offices and even
stories in a few buildings. With or
without restrictive ordinances, their
time is past.-St. Paul Dispatch.

AUGUST FLOWER.

1T is a surprising fact" says Prof.
Houton, "that in my travels in all parts
of the world, for the last ten years, l
have met more people having used
Green's August flower than any other
remedy, for dyspepsia, deranged liver
and stomach, and for constipation. |
find for tourists and statesmen, or for
persons filling Office positions, where
headaches and general bad feelings
from irregular habits exits, that Green's
August flower is grand remedy. 1t
does not injure the system by frequent
use, and is excellent for sour stomachs
and indigestion" Sample bottle free
