IRENE. Right north across the bav
from st. Michaels is Cape Nome, which
was prospeeted a year ago, and on
winch there are now 5000 claims held by
1o0 men. Each man has his own claims
up to the law limit; and then he has as
many more as the powers of attorney
Will authorize him to locate.
POWER OF ATTORNEY CLAIMS
And the United States commissioner
at st. MiclRels has a lot Of these pow

thing the real people in the Yukon
country do not like. 1t is not liked any,

miners and business men-got together
and adopted some laws of their own.
For one thing, they put a ban on the
poWer-of-attorney system of mining.
They were perfectly willing a man should
have all the gold land the federal mining
law allowed him, but they insisted that
If his sisters and his cousins and his
aunts wanted claims, they also must
come and get them.
OF course the power of attorney proves
nothing. There may be no real person
behind 1t at ALL Under its terms the
prospector holding it can locate, buy or
sell. Well, in effect it gives him an ad-
vantage greater than that enjoyed by
the real miner. 1t multiplies his POSSIBLE

have brought with him. And there IL

the older and more substantial class,
will oppose 1t. No man can tell what
will happen when the clash comes.

Alaskan peninsula, is as orderly place

COLONIAL STAMPS.
Some of the New Issues Are of Value
to Collectors.

Some of the New Issues Are of Value
to Collectors.
Baltimore Sun.
The newest and most interesting recent
things in philately are the postage stamps
for the new colonies-Puerto Rico, Cuba
the island of Guam and the Philippines
These stamps are United States postage
stamps of l, 2, s, 8 and 10 cents value,
surcharged with the name of the colony
and the value Of the stamp in Spanish
money. The United States has no new
stamp for Hawaii, but Hawaii has got
up new stamps. The war with Spain ne
cessitated the issue of revenue stamps,
but these could not be prepared tomeet the
demand at once, SO some of the United
States postage stamps were surcharged
Il. r. and used as revenue stamps. The
government at first issued war revenue
stamps running in value to $50, but find
ing that amount too small stamps of the
denomination of 800, $500 and s., 900 were
issued. The new Cuban stamps make a.
handsome collection, the designs showing
tropical scenery and other appropriate
markings. The l centavo stamp is green,
the red, the 8 purple, the blue and the
10 slate. With the exception of the 10
centavo, these stamps use the colors rec
commended by the Postal union, they sug-
costing yellow for stamps of the value Of
10 cents The special delivery stamp for
Cuba represents a boy riding chainfess
bicycle.
The United States has issued a larger
variety of stamps than any other country.
From 1847, the date of the first regular
issue, to the last issue of Omaha stamps
we have changed sets, designs, colors or
sizes over twenty-five times. That is out
side of department stamps, special deliv-
cry and stamped envelopes
Sets Of periodical stamps are interesting
to collectors. They were first issued in
1865, and there have been three or four
different issues Primarily they were not
intended for postage, but for vouchers.
and were not allowed to be sold. The val
ues ran from l cent to $50. The govern
ment objected to collectors holding them
and about two years ago seized the
stamps in the hands of dealers. The As
ISOLATED Stamp Dealers took the case to
the courts and won, after which the sets
were abolished and $4,000 were put upon
the market at IS a set, the aggregate face
value of a set being S1S8.
One of the rarest stamps in the world
is said to be Baltimore stamp issued by
postmaster James M Buchanan in 1S45
One of these of the denomination of 10
cents was discovered in Louisville q few
years ago and sold to a private collector
in New York for several thousand dol
lars.
There are persons in Baltimore with
collections Of postage stamps valued at
from $4,000 to $4,000

Hack and Cab Drivers.

The above named union met in Room
No. /, of Assembly halls, last evening.
A lively debate as to whether the union
should turn out in the parade on Mon
day, Sept. 4. took place, resulting in a
victory for the opposition. The reason
for the action taken was said to be be-
cause the theatrical stage employees had
engaged a number of hacks for the pa
rade and. as a consequence, the showing
made by the union would not be credit
able. The report of the committee hav-
Ing charge of the recent bali game be-
tween Minneapolis and St. Paul cabmen
indicated that the financial results were
satisfactory and the committee was dis
charged. a communication was received
from President Gompers, of the Ameri-
can Federation, and the secretary was
instructed to ask for further informa-
ton. L. Gadbois was elected secretary
owing to the resignation of his predeces-
6Or.

Yet Capt. Pat1IIO Made a Marvellous
Record on the Target.
New Orleans Times-Democrat
They tell a funny story in the army
about Capt. Patillo the crack shot" said
one of party of late diners. According
to the yarn Gen. Miles and high Wash
ington official once visited a Western
post where the captain was stationed, and
sent word that they would like to see q
little exhibition of his skill. PatiIlo hap
pened to be quite sick at the time, but
he couldn't well refuse, and presently ap-
peared on the long-distance range.
HE blazed away, and an Irish sergeant,
who had been sent out to act as a mark
er, waved a small flag. What does that
mean? asked the distinguished visitor.
Tt means missed the whole target said
Patillo, gloomily He tried again with
the same result. don't know what g
the matter with me!' he exclaimed in
deep modification. I never did such work
in my lifer
cat the third shot the distant figure
varied the wigwagging, and the assem-
bled officers applauded. The signal meant
a bull's-eye. Thereupon he fired twenty
consecutive rounds and after each time
the flag waved back the news that he
had pierced the inner circle. 1t was q
marvellous record, an unparalleled score;
the distinguished visitor was very gra-
cious in his congratulations.
Later on Patillo, still beaming, met
the marker crossing the parade grounds
Hello, sergeant he said, I wonder what
the deuce made me miss the target those
first two shots?' Whist, captain! re-
piled the Irishman, drawing close, tits

Didn't hit it at all? cried Patillo in
amazement; then why did you signal all

sergeant, Teproaehfully, I knew yer ripy-

what wanla waran Says of The Dalles.

p" nat q w aha w 3IIan says OF ne Oal1eBs
The Walla Walla Statesman has the
following from an observing citizen of
that place who recently made the trip
to Portland and evidently missed Moth
ing which was worth noticing along the
route:
1.-The Dalles is the largest wool depot
in the United States, If not in the world.
Some wool is handled even from the
borders of Malheur and Lake counties,
three hundred or more miles. The
Dalles was rebuilt with many neat and
attractive houses after the fire of '9l,
and it must be confessed that its stores
will bear comparison with our own In
fact there is perhaps only one store here
that compares in elegance and general
completeness with the stores of Pease &
Mays and A. NJ. Williams & Co. at The
Dalles, though the population of The
Dalles is scarcely third of that of our
own city.
ga beautiful and commodious high
school building has been built within
the past year at that place, and there
are in it about eighty high school stu
dents, fifteen graduating this year.
"Around The Dalles also are now COM
ing into bearing some of the finest
orchards in the state. 1t seems plain
that the earliest fruit in the Northwest
is produced on the quick volcanic
pockets of sell amid the rocks and sand
at various points up and down the
Columbia. L observed, however. near
Grants the danger that attends the
proximity of sand, for part OF one fine
orchard has been buried in heaps of
drifting sand.''
