MenacIng situation I'm Alaska.

Gov. Brady of Alaska, who is on his way
to Washington, says: "The Canadians will
surely have fight on their hands if they
try to move the boundary on the Porcupine
as they have on the Stickeen and the Lynn
canal passes. Do you think that 1000
Americans, every one of them we'll armed,
who have gone into a country and taken up
claims on what has always been considered
American territory will let handful of
Canadian policemen move the boundary
line at will! This boundary question is
serious one, and no one can tell how it is
going to come out. Every member of the
commission should come West and make a
trip to Alaska "

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
Gov. Roosevelt Star Witness.
HIS Testimony Condemns the Beef Fur
uIshed TO Our Soldiers In Cuba.

His Testimony Condemns the Beef Fur
nIshed TO Our Soldiers In Cuba.
Gov. Roosevelt was a witness before the
beef investigating committee at New York
Saturday. He first told about the com
plants made by the men while en- route to
Cuba from Tampa. He said that when
he cans were opened there was covering
of slime. 1t was unattractive. The meat
was stringy and it did not agree with the
men who ate it." Asked if he could not
eat it when served with onions and pota-
toes, the governor replied II think at
that time | could have eaten my hat II l
could have onions and potatoes The men
would have eaten anything with fresh veg
etables. They stewed some of the meat
with mangoes and ate it. Some OF the men
seemed to eat the meat without dlihculty or
distress, but it was not suitable for SICK or
half-sick men, Gov. Roosevelt told OF his
attempts to obtain supplies in Cuba. when
did YOU begin receiving refrigerated beetF
asked Col. Davis about July %, when
ashore about a month Their condition as
a rule was good. The outside was some
time bad but it seemed awfully goot to us.
| doubt if there were more than two or
three issues when it was bad. Had you
reason to believe the refrigerated beef was
treated with chemicals before you received
itln was asked. 81 never thought about it
until returned home" replied Gov. Roose-
welt. "The meat seemed good to us. We
ate it and enjoyed it. 1t did undoubtedly
give the men diarrhoea.'
Asked if he attributed their i'll health to
the rations, Gov. Roosevelt said: ITO a
certain extent, | suppose, yes. When we
left Cuba less than 20 per cent of the bri-
gade were fit for active service. The can
ned roast beef was issued to the men on
their voyage home as a travel ration. 1t
was utterly and hopelessly unacceptable.
Some of it was eaten, but it could not be
eaten by the half and the well men
did not like it,
evil you tell u.s." asked Maj. Lee,
"what in your opinion is the value of the
canned roast beef issued at Cuba and else
where as an army rationp The governor
replied; 81 wish to say unhesitatingly
that it was utterly unfit and unwholesome
for troops l have been informed that
some cans brought here and tested we're
found to be good, but my experience
proves beyond a shadow of doubt or ques-
ton that at its best the canned roast beef
was unpalatable and at its worst was I'M
eatable and unwholesome.

Speaking of Jeffersonian dinners"
says the Boston Herald, sit is recalled
that Thomas jefferson always dined we'll.
Monticello was stocked with the finest
wines, and the great plantation of 10000
acres produced almost every kind of fruit
and vegetable. Jefferson had been
brought up In the best of society, and
spent some years at the Court in Paris.
He had the Continental ideas of luxury in
living, and he entertained royalty. 1t is
recalled, likewise, that his dinners were
served on silver plate, fact which must
strike the Bryan brethren with more or
less conflicting emotions"

Fairlee Postmaster short In His Acc
counts.

Post-office Inspector Willis reports from
Fairlee, that as result of an examination
into the affairs of the posto-fiice of that
place he finds the postmaster's accounts 10
be short by about $500. Herbert p Warren,
the postmaster, has been in the habit, says
Inspector Willis, of issuing money orders
for 500 made payable to the cashiers for
national banks. These orders were deposit
ed to his credit and he drew on the accounts
thus established by check in paying bills.
As no money was turned into the post-offce
on account of the orders, the inspector
caused the postmaster's suspension, and it
is stated the case will be prosecuted as soon
as the postmaster's bondsmen make good
the deficiency.

Miners Just Returned from Dawson say
Claims Are Planning Out Well.

Olhlns arc RAINING Out "elIs
II. Miller and Thomas Scott, who ar
rived at Seattle Monday from Dawson,
claim to have made the trip from Dawson
to Skaguay in ten days, which breaks the
record by As hours. They report a great
deal of gold coming into Dawson from the
various creeks, indicating that this will be
the greatest year the Klondike has ever
seen. They estimate the yield at $l5, 900, 900.
Gold Run creek and the French Gulch
Bench claims are yielding well. Some
pans on Gold Run yield as high as $175.
One claim on French Gulch has turned out
$4,000. "Bull quartz" has been found on
Fischer gold hill claim near Dawson. A
nugget weighing seven pounds was dug up.
1t contained about $500 in gold. The dis
covery is regarded as further proof of the
quartz origin of the Klondike gold and it
has revived the search for the mother lode.
Advices from the Porcupine district say
that gravel on Alder creek is turning out
$40 per day for every man at work. The
discovery of the creek is credited to the
Paddock brothers and Calhoun brothers of
Malone, n. Y.

It is the intention of the company to
expend q large amount of money in
grading both streets and lots. Already
contract has been let to Engineer G.
D. McClintock to make a topo-
graphical map, showing the
and the amount needed in depressions
in order to secure q perfect grade OF
streets and lots. Mr.. McClintock has
/ had a force of six men engaged in this
work for the past two weeks, and will
keep steadily at it for month longer.
Besides the Typographical map he will
also make new record map, showing
some important changes.
Grading will begin in earnest next
week In the vicinity Of Ell Paso and
Oregon streets and Rio Grande avenue,
Immediately adjoining the new resi-
dence of Mr.. Moye on the west and
north. Three blocks of ground and the
streets mentioned will be brought to q
perfect grade. Next in order the Rio
Grande avenue hill will be cut down
ten feet, and that whole avenue graded
IS far as Epson avenue. Prospect
street and the boulevard between Rio
Graude avenue and Santa Fe street
will then be graded, as we'll as the lots
facing upon them. On Prospect street
and the Boulevard the company will
make the lots 200 feet deep to 20 foot
alley. These will be the largest lots
in the city and worthy of imposing re-
sidences.
AS an evidence of the popularity of
this new movement, Mr.. Happier
mentions the fact that during the
week some Ell Psso citizens who hap
pened to know of the proposed i'm
provements have purchased lots at
$4,000 each. Over 100000 worth
we're sold for cash this week, before
the deed had been obtained. II sales
continue as they have begun, the
company will macadamize the streets
and put in cement curbing and cement
in front of their 200 foot lots
on Prospect street and the Boulevard
south of Mesa Gardens Heights. The
whole city will appreciate this move
ment in the right direction, for Ell
Paso sadly needs cement walks and
curbs.
