TRAFFIC MILL Be
GREATER NEXT YEAR
King Prophesies a Continued
Increase in Yukon Trade
SEASON DOUBLES LAST
Twice As Much Goods Were Sent In
To Dawson This Year As We're
Sent In During 1899 - Railroad
People Doing All They Can.

IA. King, who is one of the closest OBJ =
servers of trade conditions in the north, is
an enthusiast as to the prospects of the
north. The rush of freight this year was
predicted by him last fall He said then
when the jam was at it highest point that
there would be double the quantity of
goods to 20 in the next wear and the re-
suit has justified the prediction.
"Now predict" said Mr.. King, THAT
next years business will also witness q
large increase over this year, and dozen
wears from now the traffic on the Yukon
will still be increasing.
"Our mill has all the work it can do
for weeks after the close of the scow sea-
son. We will operate as late in the season
as possible, expect to get down to Vic
tora for Christmas but not much sooner
The railroad people are doing all per-
sistent energy can do to get all the freight
down the Yukon before navigation closes
and are doing the very best they can fol
the shipper. ! an inclined to think they
will make the rifle and there will not bt
much freight lett over This fall. But ont
can never tell. 1t all depends on how long
the season lasts"
Mr.. King will letusn to White HORSE

LESS DUST WILL COME
If Dawson's Assay Office Should
Prove a Success.

An assay office was opened in Dawson
on the nth, and, if the royalty is re-
moved-as there is likelihood that it
will be--there will be very little gold COM
ing out this wav in dust; it will all be in
bricks. But it will come out by this route
all the same. 1t is question, too, just at
present, whether this assay office will have
the entire confidence of the public, for 1t is
not the long promised government ASSAY
office but a private enterprise.
The assay office has been opened by the
Alaska Exploration company and Mr..
Fulday, its manager. tells Dawson Mug
get reporter that things had come to such
a pass by the INSCRIPTIONS manipulation
of the dust as a circulating medium that
the company had to do it to protect them
selves. He saws further:
''Our plan Is this: We will receive
dust for assay, and after burning away or
otherwise removing the dross, melt the
dust and run it into bricks. When a lot
of dust so received has been run into a
brick, 1t is allowed to COOL and chip is
taken from it, jus: as is done in the United
States government ASSAY offices, and this
chip is assaved.
''After this the weight, in ounces, penny
weights and grains is stamped upon the
brick, together with its assaved fineness,
and the owner NAV have IT, or If he Dre-
fers, we will issue him certificate, show
ing that he has so much gold of such fine
ness on deposit with us, and that certificate
will be honored at the banks or mercantile
houses of the citv.
The charge for this will be nominal,
only enough to cover the expense actually
resulting from the work, as we are not
doing this as means OF profit. otherwise
than insofar as our interests are furthered
and protected in general.

TdE BELGIAN HARE.

Belgian mare departments are begin
ming to appear in Mainland papers both
in news and advertising columns.
Touching the results of the craze we
note this comment in.the Argonaut:
Minneapolis newspapers announce that
the Belg.an hare craze, which seems to
have taken so firm a hold In that part
OF the country, promises to result in a
row that wall involve the whole North
west. In fact. the status of the hare is
likely to become a matter of Congress
SIGNAL elaboration. for the farmers are
organizing and sending out petitions to
the Congressman representing Iowa and
minnesota. The petitions cite that Bel
gan hares are really rabbits, and that
aside from their qualities of superior
breeding they are identical In habits and
fecundity. OF doubtful value as a food
product. and an undoubted menace to the
agricultural interests of any country in
which they are introduced. During the
past few months hundreds of these hares
have been imported Into Minnesota from
the Pacific Coast, and several Belgian
hare farms have been established. The
proprietois Of these farms assert that the
hGres are al legitimate an item of indus
try as are sheep or any other farm stock,
and they are organizing to fight the oppo-
nents of the hare. They point out that
there are hundreds Of thousands of these
hares In California, but that no reports
of damage to crops are ever received
from that State. The hare industry Il
on the ncresse In Minnesota. and the ap-
prehensiveness of the agricultural popu-
1ation increases correspondiEgly. The Ar
gonaut called attention months ago to
the danger to be apprehended from the
hare craze. In this connection II is sug-
eested IL may be well TO secure Informal
ton OF those responsible for the first inn
poriations. should suits for damages ever
be Instituted
The reason why the Belgian hares
have not done much damage in Call
ifornia is that they are all corralle.l for
purposes of breeding or sale. When
the craze subsidies and there is nothing
to be made by caring for this new
variety Of hares. many OF them will
probably be turned loose. Then we
will hear from the farmers. 1t is a
lucky thing. considering the danger
the cane fields would run that Hawaii
had the forethought to deny admit
tance to the four-footed fad when an
open door for 1t was sought.

DANCING TOWARD THE PAIL.

The Independent party movement, as
IL Is showing itself along the lines of
the Milcox-Kaulia campaign, will
amaze the Mainland friends of the Ha-
waiian people when they come to un-
derstand it. Such a showing of DEM
agogy ON the part Of the leaders and
of their followers, was never before
made in American politics nor can 1t
have been dreamed of by those who
framed the Territorial Act on the
broadcast lines of suffrage.
The program of the new party Is a
veritable crazy quilt. 1t may be epito-
missed as follows:
The re-establishment of the Hawaiian
throne by act of Legislature.
y The release of the lepers from Molokal
md the annulment of the segregation
.2ws.
The coercion of planters, as respects
the labor they shall use, by means of
special taxat on.
The payment OF damage claims to the
revolut.onists of 1895 and to the victims
of the sanitary nres. in an amount great
Ell than the aggre gate returns from Ha-
waian taxes I'm 1883 and of the lawful ca
pacity of the Territory to borrow.
Pledges to do all these things have
been made. either in speech or print, by
the leaders of the Independent party in
their quest of votes; and belief in the
ability of a Hawaiian Legislature TO
realize them is said to be common
among the rank and file.
What a pity 1t is that the wise and
sane native leaders cannot drive out
the devils of folly that possess the
breasts of their countrymen? What a
pity 1t is. most of all, from the Hawaii
an standpoint! There are many tit to
tell the truth to the poor Hawaiians
plainly and bluntly, but is there no one
I'm the Independent following to under
stand that the Wilcox Kaulia program
can have no surer effect than the loss
of native suffrage at the hands of an
E>amazed and Disguised Congress?
