Livingstone Creek Miners Ask Governments Aid.
FREIGHT COMES HIGh
1t Costs Fifteen Cents Pound From Hootalinqua to Disoovety Claim Country Is Level And Road Could Be Built Cheaply--District Has Paid $50, 900 in Royalty And Li- ceuse Fees.

The Livingstone creek miners are talk ing steps to secure an appropriation for q good road into that mining district. One of the principal causes for slow de- velopment Is said to be the high cost of transporting provisions into the coun- try. Most of the miners in there are poor, and have not had enough money to get sufficient provisihns in to do the dead work.
 "We have paid between S25, ,000 and s3o, 1000 this year in royalties and licen- ees," said MT. Pope who with w. L. Mason Detroit lawyer owns a good bunch of claims on upper Livingstone creek, land we think we are entitled to an appropriation for road. At the present time it costs fifteen cents per pound to get provisions from the Hoota> linqua to discovery on Livingston creek, and considerably more to some of the other countries.
 "It is about 45 miles from Hootalin' qua to Livingstone creek. The route there goes up to the Hootalinqna twen- ty-five miles and then eighteen miles across country.
 "The country is level and compari- lively open. A good road could be put h at small expense.

Traffic Manager Irwin goes down on the City of Seattle to talk with shippers and to arrange with MT. Hawkins the plan of campaign for next years business. He says they are going to make arrangements this winter so as to be in position for early operations next epring.
 MT. Irwin, who has recently arrived from Dawson, had something interesting to say of the present situation. He contra dicted the general statement that there was congestion of freight at W hite Horse. On the contrary, he said there was only about 500 tons there, and the company was running fifteen boats with an average carrying capacity of oyer 100 tons each. There was 400 tons for Daw- son here, brought up by the South Port land, and he believed there was about 3ooo tons enroute. AS the railroad was averaging over I5o tons day he did not see any danger of a congestion this season, In regard to the state of the water on the Upper Yukon he had no information that it had vet begun to lower. In fact he believed it would hold out longer than last year, when such boats as the Colum- bian and Canadian run as late as Oct. IS. The most important part of his state ment was that the cut passenger rate or the company's steamers would be off or the 18th, and that regular rates would govern after that date. Still he was not positive even on this point.
 He goes to Vancouver. Victoria and Se- atte to confer with shippers and have an understanding with Mr. Hawkins as to next years operations.
 Manager Teal of the Yukon Flyer Line, said yesterday that rates would go up i'm mediately on his line. His company is operating two boats, the Eldorado and Be- nlnza King. His rate is now $3o.
 P. G. Copeland, the local manager of the Kondike Corporation, who came in Dawson last night, says his company has increased the passage from White Horse from $2o to $3o So that 1t may be as- sumed that all the boats will put up rates as the season draws to close.

Business Man Says Lower
 Yukon Market is Big
CHANGE FOR EXPANSION
Many Kinds of Goods Can Be Sup piled to a Better Advantage from
 SkaGway Than From Below--
 Skagway Can Undsrssll Dawson.

Laramie Mayer, to whom credit is due for suggesting to the chamber of commerce the idea of taking steps looking to securing the lower Yukon trade. is enthusiastic over the prospects for trade expansion. He thinks this city is sure to become the great supply point for the interior trade.
 ''I have changed my opinion greatly" " said MT. Mayer yesterday. "as to the pros pect> for Skagway's immediate future. Nv trip to Dawson opened my eyes as to the possibilities of securing trade in the Klondike. There are many kinds of goods required by the Yukon trade that can be handled to better advantage from Skag- way than from points below.
 But our great trade will probably be developed in the country below the line. There will be an immense market there in another wear. There Is now, as matter of fact. Those people down the river are buying very heavily in Dawson this year. Duty has to be paid on the goods purchas. ed there unless they are American prodac- ton and on those the Canadian duty has been paid.
 "Skagway merchants can make profit on goods and undersell the Dawson mer- chants so far that competition will be elim- mated. The trade Is there for Skagwav, and we must get It."
 MT. Mayer was yesterday preparing for shipment. four carloads of potatoes and eggs, for Dawson.

them eighteen miles to Livingstone. He is kept busy and is doing well.
 "The difficulty of getting provisions in that country, together with the eN- pense has done much to keep it back. Four boys who have claims on Cotton eva creek, for instance, ordered forr tons of provisions last spring and paid the freight onlthem, and went into their claims to spend two years, but their freight never arrived, they were forced to go to work for wages. I located their freight at White Horse.
 "1he cheapest way to get goods ID now is to have them shipped to Hoota- linqua then lowed up the river and left until the freezeup when they can be seded across the country.

Father Turnell Offers Reward.

To the Edtor:-ln the notice of my lec- ture on What Catholics Do Not Belleve", which appeared in last Wednesdays paper. failed to see mention of an offer had made in the course of the lecture. It was and is to the effect, that agree to give SIoo to anyone who will prove to the satisfaction of a committee of three intelli- gent and conscientious persons, that any member of the Jesuit order or any other catholic priest in good standing, ever taught, in public or private, the immoral and pernicious maxim, that the end just- fies the means. We often hear it said during political campaign that in politics everything is fair Will anyone undertake to show that we hold such principle of conduct in matters of religion or any other matters whatsoever?
 The object have in view in protesting against allegations of the kind, is simply to set aright erroneous notions concerning our belief. which tend to Derpetuate prei> udice-that prolific and mischevious source of distrust and aversion.
 If the various elements that go to make up the community and the commonwealth are eyer to be welded into one honogen- eous and harmonious whole, prediudice must go. Hence expect that the public spirited people of this town will favor me with their presence next Sunday evening and to hear what have to say further on the same topic; if not because of any inter est 1t may of itself arouse. at least because of the all important object 1t is intended to help obtain.
