ARE YOU TO LIVE IN ALASKA?
Some Requirements that will be Found
Indispensable.

The universal article of diet in that
country, depended upon and indispensa-
be is bread or biscuit. And to make
the bread and biscuit. either in the camp
or upon the trail, yeast cannot be used
it must be baking powder; and the pow
der manufactured by the processes of the
Royal Baking Powder company, miners
and prospectors have learned, is the only
one which will stand in that peculiar eli
mate of cold and dampncSS and raise the
bread and biscuit satisfactorily.
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to 20 To Alaska and
the Yukon country to know. for should he
be persuaded by some outhtter to take
one of the cheap brands of baking pow
der, it will cost just as much to trans
port it. and then when be opens it for use,
after all his labor in packing it over the
long and difficult route, he Will find =
solid caked mass or Il lot of spoiled pow
der, with no strength and useless. Such
a mistake might lead to the most serious
results. Alaska is no place i'll which to
experiment in food or try to econOmize
with your stomach. For use in such 4
climate, and under the trying and IA
tiguing conditions of life and In Dor in
that country, everything must be the
best and most useful, and above all 1t is
Imperative that all food supplies shall
have perfect keeping qualities. 1t is alb
surd to convey over such difficult and cX-
pensiye routes an article that Will dete-
riorate i'll transit, or that will be found
when required for use to have lost great
part of its value.
There is no better guide to follow in
these matters than the advice Of those
who have gone through similar expert
once. Mr.. Mctlucntcn. who is called THE
father of Alaska. after an experience Of
years upon the trail, in the camp, and iii
the use of every kind of supply, says:
I'VE find in Alaska that the Importance
of Il proper kind of baking powder cannot
be overestimated. \ miner with a can of
| bad baking powder is almost helpless III
Alaska. We have tried all sorts, and
have been obliged to settle down to Use
nothing but the Royal. 1t is stronger and
carries further at first. but above all
things. it is the only powder that will en-
dure the severe climatic changes of the
arctic region
Ii is for the same reasons that the L.
:. Government in its relief expeditions,
and Peary, the famous arctic traveller,
have carried the Royal Baking Powder
exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose its strength either on board
ship or in damp climates, and is the most
highly concentrated and efficient of lcay-
ehing agents. Hence it is Indispensable
to every Alaskan outfit. 1t can be had
OF any of the trading companies i'll Alas
ka, but should the miner procure his sup
plies before leaving, he should resist
upon him any of the other brands of bak-
ing powder, for they Will spoil and prove
the cause of great disappointment and
trouble

DO NOT RECKON CLOSE.
Large Sums of Money Bewilder the
Simple Indians.

1t is not SO easy to cheat the Indians i'll
bargaining as it was in the days when
Manhattan island was bought from them
for 81. Their long intercourse with the
whit" men has taught them many things
about the value of their possessions, and
they are pretty sharp i'll making the or
binary trades which come up in their
daily life. Nevertheless. it is still true
that when it comes to a question of large
sums Of money thousands or even hun
dreds of dollars-the average Indian is
hCWildCrcd at the mere idea of so much
wealth. An incident which happened
not long ago III New Mexico Illustrates
this point.
An Indian. while crossing the tracks
of one Of the railroads. had been killed
10y a train. His Squaw demanded $1,000
as an indemnity for the loss of her huS-
band, and the company were willing to
settle the matter. SO they sent to deal
with the Squaw man who had had
considerable experience in negotiating
with the Indians. lie took with him
several bags of ''dobc,' or Mexican sill
Yer dollars. which pass freely among the
Indians and settlers i'll that part Of the
country. Sitting down gravcly with the
ag@rcYed widow, he began counting out
the big, shining dollars one by one.
When the pile had reached hundred he
glanced inpuiringly at the squaw. But
she shook her head firmly. The agent
went on with his counting. At the end
Of another hundred he looked up again.
| The squaw repeated the negative shake
of her head. but her eyes began to
brighten at the heap of silver. At 300
the agent paused Il little longer His
customer still held out, though with I'M
mistakablc signs Of weakening. The
agent counted more slowly and impress
sively. When he reached S34S the squaw
stopped his hand

with decision, and, gathering UP the sill
yer, she accepted in perfect contnntment
the settlement of her claim for $1,000.
