Canadian Law in the Klondike.

While every physical condition in that
country is disheartening, some of the
conditions imposed on the proSpector
by the Canadian Government seem still
less endurable. The very first man one
meets after crossing the Canadian
frontier is a revenue officer, who ex-
acts a tax of twenty-five per cent. of
the value of the miners outfit. To ar
rive at the valuation, a blank must be
filled out with the aid of a broker who
charges So or $40 for about fifteen
minutes work. The Canadian Govern
ment reserves absolutely to itself half
of the gold bearing ground discovered,
and leases to miners the other half,
limiting each miner to 250 feet, except
the first discoverer, who may take 5OO
feet. 1t then charges an annual rental
of S15 and a royalty of 10 per cent.
of all gold taken out above the first
50, 500. If the mine yields $500 per day
or more, the royalty is, 20 per cent.
To do anything, one must have a spe-
cial permit, and for every such permit
he must pay roundly. An anecdote
which went the rounds among the
miners will serve to show the situation
as seen by them. 1t was said that
miner, being sick in the hospital, was
informed that he must die. Being
asked whether he wished to see any
one he said: Send for Major Walsh"
On being asked what he wanted with
Major Walsh he replied: II haven't any
permit, and If I should undertake to die
without a permit 1 should get myself
arrested. Self Culture Magazine

ton has purchased for the Southern Pa
cific system nearly $4,00O.000 worth of
rolling stock, and it is known that dur
ing the next twelve months a. very
large amount of money will be expend-
ed in ballasting the road and in laying
new rails. large amount will also
be spent in further adding to the equip
ment
Mr.. Huntington, it is said at the rail-
road offices, intends to spare no expense
in making the road physically per-
feet" AS the first step toward the at
tainment of this end the enormous sum
of 81, 100000 has been spent for sleep
ers, tourist cars, coaches, chair cars,
box cars, fiat cars, gondolas and loco
motives. Some time since Huntington
tried to place an order for additional
locomotives, but he was told that no
orders could be considered until Sep
tember, 1900. This shows that he has
by no means stopped in adding rolling
stock to the system.
Manager Kruttschnitt, who is a prac-
tical railroad man, having in his young
er days himself worked upon a section,
is most keen after improving the road
bed. Several hundreds of thousands of
dollars have already been expended in
this. The road between Los Angeles
and Yuma has been improved at a vast
cost, and when it is considered that the
entire system is to be improved the
magnitude of the work can be appre-
ciated.
1t is said that it is Mr.. Huntington's
present ambition to have the Southern
Pacfic system regarded as the best
equipped and best tracked road in the
United States.

Filling Up Siberia.

Since the commerce ment of the Trans
Siberian Railway, immigration to ST.
IBERIA has developed with enormous
strides.
Between 1882 and 1885 only 65O,OO0
persons entered the country, viz, 50,-
800 every year. In 1896 the numbers
suddenly sprang up to 203, 600; in 1898
they reached 205,000.
The immigration is conducted by a
committee of officials, whose members
portion out the land through which the
new railway runs.
Up to the present moment 15.000,0GO
acres have been occupied, and this
comprises all the available agricultural
land.
But, Notwithstanding, the Rusiasn
Government allows thousands of imm :
grants still to swarm into Siberia and
to go to ruin in the barren and miser-
Governments apathy is due to the fact
that the officials wish thus to get rid
of the starving thousands in European
Russia.
There is no civilizing influence with
these fresh immigrants. The majority
are beggars with scarcely more intelli-
gence than the Asiatics already in ST.
IBERIA.
The filing up of Siberia by the pres
ent day process is nothing less than
the useless sacrifice of thousands Of
hapless beings.-St. Petersburg cor.

The Dog Made a Slight Mistake.

1t was one evening not long ago
when everybody had been trying to out
do everybody else in telling of the
wonderful sagacity of animals he had
known, or seen, that the Rev. DR.. Her
rick U.S.A, retired, told this story.
On any less authority I confess l should
have had my doubts as to the truth of
it, but Dr. Herrick actually knew the
man to whom the thing happened. 1t
was about a dog, of course. All prop
erly constructed stories of the sagacity
of animals are about dogs. 1t was
dog that belonged to a friend of the
man WHO told DR.. Herrick about it. The
sure, was Atlanta DR.. Herricks friend
was driving along Peachtree street
when he met the man who owned the
dog, on foot. DR.. Herrick's friend i'm
mediately invited the man who owned
the dog to jump in and take a ride.
The dogs owner said he would go with
pleasure if he only had his gloves with
him.
"Shall drive you around to your
office and get them?" asked DR.. Her.
ricks friend. ST
"Oh. no. said the other. .I1l Just
send my dog for then''
So he called that wonderful dog, made
signs to him. showed him his hands,
and sent the intelligent animal off to
the office to fetch what wasmost fire.
auently in contact with his hands, his
gloves, of course. When he came back
he had something in his mouth, and he
was wagging his tail merrily. He had
brought the belt from the stenograph-
er's ashington Post.

Lost Children Found BY a Dog.

While Constable Mcpouald of Mill
Valley was going homo about il o'clock
July 24th a lady rushed UP 70 him in
great grief and said .ha. her two little
girls We're lost On Mount Tamaipais.
They hal all come from San Francisco
just that day and taken a cottage to
have a pleasant vacation. The little
girls, one and the other II years of
age, had started out for a walk on the
mountain and had not come home.
Mr. Mcdonald ran to the schoolhouse
and rang the bell till nearly all the
men in town came running to see what
was the matter When told, they form
ed searching parties and started out
to find the girls.
There is an observatory on the noun
tain, and big ST. Bernard lives at the
observatory. A telephone message was
sent to the man in charge, and he sent
the dog out to do some searching dog
fashion, without any lantern.
The men hunted and the dog hunted,
and at midnight the men heard the
dog barking as though he had good
news to tell. They went in the direc-
ton of the barking, and there were
the children. They had tired them
selves out and cried themselves to
sleep in the woods. but soon their poor
sad mother had them safe in her arms.

ROMANCE OF THE SKIPPER.
He Tells Why It Was He Called His
Boat Winifred.

Captain George Pruden of the oyster
sloon Winifred sat in his boat at the
Lewis Shorehouse dock at bridgeport
Conn. the other day in reminiscent
mood.
Yes, it's a pretty name for pretty
boat he said, "and it will do me 5000
to tell my story to a friend. The name
is that of a woman who changed my
entire life for me- l once had spieh-
did home in the White Mountains, but
I would not change back to the old lie
again.
Il had money then, you see, and L
had this little boat built up at New
London and kept her there so that |
could come down in the summer and
spend a month or so on the water.
..Winifred was my old sweetheart.
That's how the name came to be paint
ed on the little craft there. 1t was
painted on there when we were sweet
hearts She used to go to New London
also to spend a part of the summer ana
this little boat was named after her,
and she used to sit in the stern there
at the tiller, every inch a sailor, tell
you.
I'VE were going to be married when
we returned to our mountain homes
that last year about the first of the
new year A month before the mar
riage day she went away to visit an
aunt, so she told me, and I never saw
her afterward While we We're at New
York that summer she met young
fellow who was on a yacht. He courted
her and she encouraged him. l trust
ed her, and she proved false.
My home up in the mountains was
not home after that, and I sold out all
of my things and came down 20 New
London and looked after this little
boat live on the water now and earn
my living with the other men of the
sea. Here is her picture. You may
have it. The boat is the only renem-
brance of her I care to have. .'--Chicago

A FOLSOM SENSATION.
Caused by the Recent Mysterious
Death of a Woman.

Constable Donnelly Of Folsom last
night brought to the city man named
Darling, who will be detained pending
inquiry into the cause of his wife's
death.
The Constable stated that after the
woman's death, the other day, Darling
made preparations for a hurried de-
parture from Folsom. The neighbors
suspected that a criminal operation was
the cause of her death, and that her
husband and doctor We're concerned
in It
The case, it would appear, has not
been thoroughly investigated. but it
was deemed best to take some steps in
