state Employment OAices.


The state of Illinois will go into the
employment agency business in Chi
cago Three offices will be opened
one on the South Side, one on the
North Side and one on the West Side.
Governor Tanner has appointed the Of
fee managers.
This new business for the sovereign
state Of Illinois was created by the last
legislature. The employment agency
bill was, probably, the most radical de-
parture of the session In the direction
of industrial-many say socialistic-leg-
islation.
The bill provides for the establish
ment of three free employment agen-
cies, to be managed by the state, in
cities of more than 125, 900 population
that is, in Chicago. Other cities
which may have population Of $4,000
or more will get one agency. This
takes in Peoria and possibly Joliet.
Every person, man or woman, who is
out of work or dissatisfied with his sit.
uation can go to one Of these offices
and list himself and his qualifications
for job. The state will do the rest
notify him of an opening if there is a
call for him.-Chicago Times-Herald.

The typographical exposition to be
given in 1900 by Typographical union,
No. 6 ('Big Six'n), Of New York city, in
celebration of it's semicentennial ami
versary, promises to be an event Of I'M
usual interest in the history Of the
printing trades of the metropolis. Two
of the New York dailies have signifed
their intention of installing plants as
features of the exposition and from
which they will publish daily editions.
The government printing Office at
Washington will make an exhibition
similar to that at the Worlds fair at
Chicago An effort will be made to
have the international Typographical
union hold it's 1900 convention in New
York just previous to the exposition,
and the State Allied Printing Trades
council will probably do likewise.
Many special features showing the

From Jack woodrum.

WOOuFuu, luItbStiy CouuuOooi Oh OhC New Mexico & Arizona railway, to Mr. Wm. Dumont of the Sonora rail way, will be read with interest by his many friends and acquaintances:
 WEARE, Alaska, Oct. 20th, 1898.
 FRIEND BILL:--l suppose you will be somewhat surprised to learn from me, especially this time of the year, but you know what the Americans are, and they are not bit behi nd up here. Up to this winter it has been almost impossible to get letter in or out of here for less than one dollar, uD to five, aud then the messengers would not go unless they could get from one thousand to fifteen hundred dollars worth. Well, we are going to have two mails d month this wintei all along the river and at the moderate cost of two cents letter. It will be carried up the river from St. Michaels to Dawson City, and then out over the trail by dog teams, so l thought that l would like to learn from the old stamping ground once more, and don't know of any one that would be SO likely to give me all the news as yourself, and to encourage you l sup- pouse l will have to tell you some thing about this country, and that's going to be a hard job, for don't be- lieye there is any one knows much about it. The natives thathave been raised here don't seem to know much more about the country than l do. We'll, to commence with, we left San Francisco on the 23d of June, at $50 D. m. There were eighteen Tn the ex- peditlon, two Chinese cooks and twelve passengers. As there were several of the members and some of the passengers that belonged in San Francisco, and as 1t was known that we were to sail that day, 1t seemed that everybody turned out for the dock was literally damned. We had been taking on cargo all day and finally the last piece was on, the matches corked down and we were off. The bay was little rough, but l did not pay any attention to that, but when we passed through Golden Gate and into the waters of the Pacific, 1t was blowing terrific storm. Now you may imagine my feelings this brings my first trip to sea. The ship was climbing up on top of the waves and rolling sideways at such rate that before we were out of sight Of the Cliff House l was sicker than l ever was before in my life, and want to be again. I was scared almost to death, but did not want to let any one know it. Frank was at the wheel and do- ing his best to hold her on her course, which he did very we'll. We have got as fine little ship as ever sailed flom San Francisco, if she had not been, | don't think that would be writing this letter today. The storm lasted for five days, on the night of 18th it blew 75 to 80 miles per hour, and the ship did not take a bucket full of water over her bow, but rode on top cf every wave, but l was not easy in my mind. If it had been m old box car that I was expecting to jump the track or turn over, would have been perfectly willing to take my chances of being dumped into a mud hole or turned over few times rather hard, but when it comes to be- ing dropped into the Pacific with the chances of swimming two or three hundred miles to get to shore, must confess that my nerve went down. l q

 and say, Conductor, what's the mat ter with that engineer, Is he trying to kill us all?" when l had not noticed that he was going very fasts but was afraid that he would not make up enough I watched round, and all those that Ina been to sea seemed to be taking it easy, but 1 was was not satisfied and finally got up to the pilot house and got talking to the captain, and l said. Its shaking h1r up pretty well, isn't 1t captain" and he said, "Oh. no, she is doing fine, she has not taken d drop Of water over her bow since she left San Francisco
 have been to sea continually for thirty years, and this is the stitfiest vessel that 1 ever sailed on." Well, you ought to have seen my swell-up then. 1 felt that had been going to sea then for ten or fifteen years when began to think that she was not going to turn over, the wind conti- nued to blow and after lighting against it for eight days, our coal was about out, so we shut down the en- zine and run under sail, saving some coal to make port with, the wind con- tnuing to blow dead ahead, so our progress was slow Then we would have one or two calm days, not ripple on the water We had it. that way right along, one day calm and the next day the wind dead-ahead. Ali ter being twenty six days out of San Francisco we sighted the Kodiak islands. We put in there and got a supply of coal to run us to Dutch Harbor. We got along all right after that, and arrived at St. Michaels on the 4th of August, forty-two days from San Francisco. Here we stopped for ten days We were told that wood was worth Sl5 cord on the river, and for the first 300 mics there was none to be had. We could get coal at St. Michaels for BIO a ton, so we concluded to build barge and load it with coal, which we did We found plenty of wood on the river, but It was selling for Sl5 a cord. We arrived at the mouth of the Yukon on the night. Of August l4th, and dropped anchor for high water to get into the river. The tide was high about a III. and every. thing started, three of us struck on sandbars before getting to the river the other two were regular river steamers and were rigged with spars ] for just such an occasion. They got off after three or four hours work but we were four days getting of
 We had to tighten the ship, and then we only had three or four hours each morning to pull at her before the tide would go out, and we would have to wait twenty-four hours for anotheF high tide, but we made it at last ano got into the river, and such a river you never saw or heard of before; t's all islands and sloughs, you never know when you are in the right chan nel, and it is almost impossible to gel along without a native pilot; olc captains that have been running boats here for years will not turn wheel unless they have got an In dian pilot, and they know the river only in certain places so they are changing pilots all the time. There's two or three Indians on the river that know it from St. Michaels tc Dawson City, and they are continually employed by the A. C. Go. on theiI steamers at a salary of SIS to S2O day, there is none of them that will

rlVer. we cOulu pot get pllOJ Onere and in fact we could not get another
 so we had to trust to the lead
 line. We got along all right un-
 til we reached St. James, mission,
 about $50 miles up the river, and we are here yet. We were throwing the
 lead right along and had twelve and
 fifteen feet of water when all at once
 1t ran down to ten feet and then to seven feet, we were drawing five and
 half feet. We shut down the en- zines and as soon as they stopped the current caught the bow and swung her on a gravel oar in five feet of water. We were stuck good and hard.
 We got out an anchor and tried to pull her off, but could not make it., the river was falling very fast and be- fore we could tighten the ship it had fallen two feet, so the jig was up. Now there Is not bucket full of water within thousand yards of her. We have unloaded everything and come into winter quarters at St. James, mission, and will have co wait until next spring to see what we will do to her, it looks as if the gods were against us. We did not intend to go any further than Rampant City, sey- enty miles from here, there we would have gone into winter quarters and set up our sawmill, there is quite a boom there, and lumber is worth S40C a thousand feet. We have quite lot of machinery, two S-inch pumps, one sawmill, capacity about 5,000 feet peT day, planer of the same capacity, and large tank, Stim wheel steamer, steam launch, steam cutoff saw and engine, and electric light plant, be- sides blacksmith, machinists and car. ,penters outfits, also the big steamer, if the ice don't break her up next spring. We were in good way tc make some money if we had not stuck on this bar. but we are in luck one way, we are near postohice only three miles from the steamer and slA miles from the mission The next office down the river is Rampant City
 seventy miles, and the next down tht river is NulaLo, 2S0 miles. If you have q map of Alaska you can locate our steamer, take St. James mission and Weare at the mouth Of the Tanouo, our steamer is just half way between those two places. This is good country to make money, no one thinks of working for less than onf dollar and one dollar and half pei hour, not even an Indian, they ars the most independent lot of Indian; up here that 1 ever saw; the rivel steamers use good many of them a. deck hands, and if they don't treal them right the whole cheese will wall ashore as soon as the boat makes q landing. We'll. Bill, there are a good many ways to make money in thi' country, outside of prospecting; car penters get from Sl5 to S2O day freighters charge from 10 cents to 2 cents per pound for hauling good' each ten miles that they haul them
 (this is during the winter.l They use dog teams, aud train of four or tive dogs will pull about 500 pounds and the freighter's outfit, bedding ano provisions. Dogs are worth from SlOl to $50 each, some sell for more This is the greatest country for people tC walk; distance don't cut any figure at all; man don't think anything ol starting out to walk 400 or 300 miles

The West Side of the city has a
sewer system, but the people are
slow in connecting their closets with
the same, one reason we suppose is
that it takes all the way from
$40 to 500 to make these conuec-
tions and put in sanitary closets,
and this amount of money is not
handled by every householder on
the West Side, or on any other side
or place that the sewerage system
has been introduced, The people
are taxed to pay for the system and
to make the system general and
complete, laterals leading to every
lot should be figured into the total
amount and paid for like the sys-
tenn traversing the streets, and
then we would have a clean town
and no kicking, nor would it work a
hardship on private individuals who
cannot accumulate the money to
make these connections even if they
are threatened with the laws pros
ecutions. We venture to say that
there is not a citizen living in the
sewer district of our city but who
would rather have sanitary plumb
ing put on his premises if he was
able to pay for it.
