CHINOOK NOTES.

w. p. Well has returned to Harlem
after winter spent in the city of
Butte.
The Harlem social club held a very
pleasant dance at the Sands hotel on
Friday evening. Quite number of
people from out of town were present,
and the enjoyment was continued until
a late hour in the morning.
John Doyle was brought into Chinook
from Landusky. He had been foolng
with revolver, when it was discharG-
ed. the load ripping up his leg.
Miss Lilly Lyman of Cleveland has
left for her old home in Nevada, where
she will spend the summer.
Louis Muir has resigned his position
with the Chinook Opinion and on June
l will launch a new journalistic enter
prise, The Milk River Homestead, in
which he will be associated with w. NJ
Woodbridge, immigration agent for the
Great Northern. The paper will be
printed and issued at Hinsdale.
A gang Of SO Japanese laborers is To-
Gated at Chinook. They are in the en-
ploy Of the Great Northern, and will be
used to do the necessary grading and
other repairing on the washed out
track
There is a good demand in Chinook
for female help, and all of those who
arrive from the East readily find en-
ployment
r. f. O'Keefe arrived this week from
New Ulm, Mimi, and has found en-
ployment in the law office of w. B.
Sands.
l.. w. Hill and William Laversick are
looking over the Milk river valley with
a view to locating. They represent a
colony of farmers at Stratford in On
tario.
The freshets in Chinook are causing
coal famine in that neighborhood,
and unless the floods let up soon all
kinds of fuel will be at premium.
The subscription paper for public wa
ter works had $3,175 on it when the
floods descended and gave the good
people of Chinook quite all that they
desired of the fluid.
Shelley B. Miller has arrived from
New Richmond Ind, and has taken the
position as compositor on the Opinion
left vacant by Lewis Muir.
Chinook boasts of a second musical
organization. This time it is string
band composed of Miss Nellie Putnam
and w. S. Rainboldt, first violin: A

lied for mutual enjoyment, and is like
ly to prove desirable addition to the
social life of the town.
The Great Northern railway is en-
couraging immigration to the Milk riv-
er valley as much as possible. 1t con-
templates the building of large
freight and passenger station at Hins-
dale, and in the meantime furnishes
settlers with the use of freight ,ars
until they are able to build homes for
themselves.

CORRUPTION At DAWSON
Wholesale Bribery by the Can
adian Officials.
SITUATION IN ALASKA
Thousands of Men Have Exhausted
Their Means - Unable to Get
Away-The Whole Place
Is Overdone.

Great Falls, April 20.-Harry earns
a trip through Alaska. He went UP
last summer, but was taken i'll at Cir
Gle City with fever and had to be car
ried out on a stretcher. Among other
places he visited Dawson. He says
that conditions there are bad. There
is no doubt of the amount of the gold
in the country. but men are there who
have exhausted their means and can
get no work. They live on charity or
the money gained by doing odd jobs
and they sleep under the tables in
gambling halls or wherever they can
find place. And they are good men,
too, not hoboes. Thousands left over
the ice during the winter. They start
ed from Dawson without a cent and
even without Notwithstanding to get
away from the, to them, accursed hole,
and more Of them will leave as soon
as they get an opportunity, for the
whole place is overdone.
To add to the bad features of the
place, the alien miner act. itself a rob-
berry, is employed by every official, nigh
or low, as a means of eXtortion. One
cannot even get his mail from the post
office in comfort, unless he lines a
CLERK HdHuS Will SILVER, llOI get Ills
claim registered without resorting to
bribery. He is taxed for place on
which to pitch his tent or spread his
blankets, his camp stove and the drift
wood it burns is made an excuse for
extortion. And in this respect the Ca
madam finds no better treatment, unless
he chances to be from the same local
ty as the tyrants and has their friend
ship or brings letters of introduction
from Eastern Canadian officials. Then
he can smooth matters over with less
expense. Mr.. earns says that no soon
err had he landed and pitched his tent
in an empty scow on the beach at Daw-
son, having previously obtained per-
mission from the scow's owner, than
the red coat was on deck, with his hand
out. He was ordered to move both boat
and tent under the preteXt that it was
in line with the barracks. Mr.. earns
firmly refused to move or give up a tip
and the matter dropped.
DR.. Mccain of this city, appointed to
be register of the land Office al Circle
City had not arrived at the time Mr..
earns left, but was expected in a short
time On that side of the line affairs
are much better conducted but there is
not the same rush. Mr.. earns will re-
main in town for some time to recover
the health lost on his trip.

word from the wise should be sufficient,
but you ask, who are the wise? Those
who know. The oft repeated experience
of trustworthy persons may be taken
for knowledge. Mr. w. M. Terry says

better satisfaction than any other in
the market. He has been in the drug
business at Elkton, KY, for twelve

conclusively that Chamberlain's is the
most satisfactory to the people, and is
the best. For sale by druggists.
