some Requirements That Will BE Found
Indispensable.

The UNIVERSAL article, of diet in that
country depended upon and indispen-
sable. 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 powder 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 climate of cold and
dampness and raise the bread and bis
cult satisfactorily.
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to go to Alaska
and the Yukon country to know, for
should he be persuaded by some out
| litter to take one of the cheap brands
of baking powder, 1T will cost just as
much to transport it, and then when
he opens IT for use, after all his labor
in packing IL over the long and diffi-
cult route. he will find solid caked
mass or a lot of spoiled powder with
no strength and useless. Such a mis-
take might lead to the most serious
results. Alaska is no place in which
to experiment in food, or try TO econo-
mize with your stomach. For use in
such climate, and under the trying
and fatiguing conditions of life and
labor in that country, everything must
be the best and most useful. and above

JACOBSON DISCHARGED.
The Evidence Given Was Not Sufficient 10
Hold Him On.

The hearing Of Nick jacobson. charged
with assault in the second degree for
an alleged assault on Mrs. Carrie Roper
rear Gregson Springs few days ago,
which was held yesterday afternoon IN
Justice Traps court, resulted In the
discharge Of the defendant for lack of
sufficient evidence against the accused.
1t was alleged in the complaint that
jacobson followed Mrs. Roper into the
hay loft at her husbands place and
there attempted a criminal assault upon
her. Mrs. Roper testified that Jacob
son followed her into the nay loft and
attempted the assault. but was COM
PEELED To testify that he merely
took hold Of her wrists and made Il
proposal. which she rejected with scorn,
and upon her refusal To comply he re-
leased his hold upon her and left the
hayloft without using any harsh or
threatening language. jacobson adj
mitted all this and as there appeared 10
be no other evidence against him he
was dismissed.
