A WORD oE ADVICE
To Those Coming to Alaska or the
klOndikc Gold FIcIds.

One thing should be Impressed upon
every miner, prospector or trader com
ing to Alaska. to the klondike, or the
Yukon country, and that is the neces-
sity for providing an adequate and
proper food supply. Whether procured
IN the States, in the Dominion. or at
the supply stores here or further on,
this must be his primary concern.
Upon the manner in which the miner
has observed or neglected this precau-
tion 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 scicction OF
foods that will keep uniinpaired in
definitely under all the conditions
which they will have to encounter is
imperative. For instance. as bread
raised with baking powder must be re-
lied upon for the chief part of every
meal, imagine the heiplessness of a
miner with a can of spoiled baking
powder. Buy only the very best flour;
it is the cheapcs; in the end. Expert
encc has shown the Royal Baking Pow
der to be the most reliable and the
trading companies now uniformly sup
ply this brand. as others will cot keep
in this climate. BE sure that the bacon
is sweet, sound and thoroughly cured.
These are the absolute necessities upon
which all must place n chief reliance,
and can under no circumstances be
neglected. They may. of course, be
supplemented by as many comforts or
delicacies as the prospector may be able
to pack or desire to pay for.-itasko

TUE talk of war with Spain has had
one excellent result thus far, the In

the national sentiment as it has never
before been aroused. From Maine to
Texas, from ocean to ocean, there is
but one sentiment, and that is the
maintenance of the national honor

Some have declared the place seemed
ill-kept, but u careful observer will see
that the walks aud lawns are almost
too well swept to permit the illusion
that the picturesque cottages are in
habited. The stiffness is nearly opprcs-
siye. for even on the days when hun
dreds of visitors crowd the garden, the
want of life and household noise in the
little huts themselves stamps desertion
upon the spot.
