The Too Liberal Use of Salt,

Salt draws the juices from beef In
corning, toughens the fiber, makes 1t
very indigestible and less nutritious.
On cucumbers 1t draws out the water,
toughens the fiber and renders them
very indigestlble. Salt acts In exactly
the same way on fish as on meat
There are two ways Of considering
these changes. l would hardly say
that salt destroys the food value. al
though 1t robs the flesh Of part OF Its
food value by making it less dlgestible.

What the president neglected to say about Alaskan affairs and legislation in his annual message to congress em- braces everything that might with pro- priety have been said on the subject. The only topic he touched upon was the modus vivendi, and why he touched upon it is not made clear by anything he said in his message. The fact of the matter is painfully apparent, and that is, Alaska is only poor little lone white chip and counts for nothing in the big gamble now attracting the attention of the administration in the Philippines.
 L. L. Boles, otherwise known as the "A!askan Guide" says of trip made last summer in the country contiguous to the lower Yukon, that when he found the much talked of Kongallion mines he expected to see at least half hun. dred miners at work, but there was not a soul to be seen. Yet it is claimed that there is gold there, and he believes there is, as he secured a couple of dol lars worth of coarse gold from the sec- ond chief of the Kongallion people, which he claims to have got two feet below the surface. Many people tried to reach these mines last summer, but only few succeeded Jack Hobson, a miner who has lived there many sea- sons, had just left the district when Boles reached it.
 Captain Campbell has withdrawn the steamer Alert from the Haines-Skag way run, passing his action on alleged dissatisfaction with the action of the Skagway Chamber of Commerce in se- curing the mail contract between the two points for one of it's members, to the great detriment and disadvantage of himself. He considered this we'll ! executed plan to throw him down and sit on him, Henceforth, for this req son, he will shun their back yard. Some of Skagway's prominent business men say that the real cause of the Captains act was that he had been '..seen" by the Juneau people, whatever that is. Mean time the Skagway Chamber of Com merce says the commercial annexation of the Haines district is an accomplish ed fact, and that the withdrawal of the Alert will cut no ice so far as affecting the status of affairs in this direction. John Anderson, who was in Dawson from Jack Wade when the last mail left said that he and his partners on No. 3 above discovery are taking out over two feet of pay dirt that runs 2o'cents to the pan or better, and believes they have the crackeriack claim on the creek, says the Skagway News, The work so far done has not demonstrated the width of the pay streak at that point, but on No..7 above it is over 60 feet wide and lies mostly in the shattered bedrock. Above No. 12 very little is being done, though at 19 and again at 22'and 23 men are prospecting and be- lieve they have located the pay. The benches on the left limit of the twen- ties yielded some good returns this summer, Kirks claim yielding $50 per day to the man for several weeks and several others averaging almost as good. Anderson said that just before he left Forty Mile word came in that s4o0 nugget was taken out on Il above. At the present time there are about 250 men on the creek, and this number will -,be almost doubled by the time the weather settles and the claim owners get down to work.

 A new and rich placer claim is report ed twenty miles back of Dawson. These mid-winter strikes are nearly always phenomenally rich and likewise very suspicious.

 The U. S. military authorities at Nome rounded up all the dangerous characters, and tough element general ly, and shipped them south just before the close of navigation.

 Timber wolves are said to be unusu- ally numerous along Yukon cutoff and serve the purpose of greatly accelerat- ing the movements of tagging pedestri- ans by their weird howlings.

 According to special to the Alaskan it is generally believed in Dawson that Joseph c. Lancaster, a prominent busi. ness man of that place who has been missing since last summer, has been murdered by former employe. Mrs. Wylie, who is now in Dawson, says that while in Seattle last August Mrs. Me Nance told her that the latter's broth CT, whose name is unknown here, had said he would kill Lancaster if he ever returned to Seattle. Mrs. McNamee's brother came to Dawson with Lancas ter and Calderhead two years ago and he became dissatisfied about the pay ment for his wages. He and Lancaster quarrelled and he left and went outside returning to Seattle.

RE. West, the Seattle Times agent for the Northwest, who has already mushed one trip to Dawson this season, and froze his feet twice on the journey, started from Skagway Dec. 10th on his second trip to the interior.
 Skagway has city ordinance regulat- ing the conduct of stray cows and horses that frequent the public com mons and prescribing penalties for licking the varnish off the winter land scape and mussing up the scenery.
 John Mack arrived in Skagway the first of the month from Circle City. He walked every foot of the way from that city to White Horse in twenty-sev- en days. He says the Yukon is no country for laboring man this winter.
 The first woman to mush out from Dawson this winter was Mrs. Mary B. Cochran, wife of the proprietor of the road house on Dominion divide. She made the trip in 12 days, and arrived in Skagway on Dec. 12th. She came out alone.
 A special from Dawson to the Skag- way Alaskan says that Lewis Weiss of that city is under arrest for stealing the Episcopal church on Chechako hill. This style of getting religion does not appear to meet with favor in the cold and unfriendly north.
 The Skagway News says not more than or 10 scows are now blockaded between Stewart and Dawson. They have all been unloaded and the freight cached. One scow is laden with hali, but, selling at the scow for 30 cents pound. Most of the scows on the river are blockaked above Five Fingers.
 Capt. Hovey has detailed squad of U. s. volunteers to patrol the streets of Skagway every night to protect the city from fire. It is not recorded that these defenders of the nations honor draw extra pay for services rendered and their forced competition with civilians .leSsens the chances of a full dinner pail for some of the latter class. In these days of the generally accepted doctrine that the noblest work of Godis full dinner pail, such action is in the na- lure of crime against high heaven.
 The Dawson Nugget makes the point that few people realize the fact that Alaska and Yukon territory is the greatest game region in North America In substantiation, it gives the follow ing q would have given hundred dollars to have had a camera with me when came down the Forty Mile river just before it froze," said a gentleman who had just arrived from that section. "The American people would not be- lieve on any other evidence the almost countless thousands of caribou and moose which are to be seen in that part of Alaska. On some of the divides we had almost to drive them out of our way. The government scout at Eagle has killed upwards of 200 and the mi, ners on Jack Wade creek have bagged upwards of BOO" This same gentleman killed this fall moose which had, so far as known, the largest pair of antlers on record with a single exception. They measure 69225 inches between the tips. The largest pair known to have been preserved previous to this were proeur ed further. down the river a year rtwo since, and measure p inches. They sold for several thousand dollars.
