ON THE CANADIAN SIDE
On the Canadian side Of the Yukon, within
some seven hundred miles of territory, three
ffths OF the population has concentrated, main

more taxed than on the American side. The

that any country could point to and well say:
There Is a perfectly organized force of men
who will maintain the strict letter Of the law

men with Winchcstcrs cooked and aimed at

could not agree to. He simply laughed at the
sight of many guns and said: Boys we will
settle this question without guns Put them

GOOD SWIMMING IN OREGON.

ty paper that the people Of Dickinson
should be proud of. compare it
alongside Of our paper here which on

one dollar. But that is the way we
pay for about all we buy in this grand

of last October and we are still swim
ming in it and the swimming is still
getting better. 1t will hold out good
swimming until about May LIST to
10th People here have little tents
made to stand under and saw wood
for the railroad. As fast as one gets
a block sawed off, he moves the little
tent up two feet and goes after an
other block and so on until the tree is
sawed up. In that way you cut the
wood and deliver on side Of track for
~ a cord, two tiers for cord. Go
to the store and pay 10 cents pound
for bacon, $l.25 for ten.pound bucket
of lard; 10 pounds of sugar, Sl.O0;
S2.5O for a pair of very poor brogan
shoes, so with all you buy. That's
the reason all the people that labor
for living here have got rich and
want to leave Oregon.

WHEAT LOOKING BETTER.
Rains Of the Past Week Have Done
It Much Good.

+. G. Pulliver returned Friday from
a trip to Oklahoma. He says the I'M
provement made in the wheat in the
past few days by the rains has been
remarkable. Oklahoma wheat is
looking fine and is fairly jumping.
As one comes north the plant is
smaller but it is vigorous and green
and fields that did not promise any
thing are now making a good show
ing. Dickinson county farmers also
report improvement and it is believed
that the injury will be less than was
feared.
