has only depth of about foot.
When his body was first seen about
$50 O'Clock this morning by some men

face upwards. about 10 feet from the
log, and his arms were folded over his
breast.

SPECIAL ARTICLES.

The DAILY ALASKAN this morning contains two special articles on the proba ble result of Tuesdays election. Both A. H. Baker and Judge Wilcoxen are competent men to handle the ques- tions as a perusal of heir articles will demo nstrate. Tomorrow morning ar ticles will appear upon the election from an Alaskan stand point by twt of the most competent men in the city to handle the question. J. c. Price writes from republican standpoint and Laramie Mayer writes of what Alsskans might exrect from democrat ic victory. Both men are thoroughly identi fled with Alaska and both have made careful study of Alaskan ques- tions.
 All of these articles, together witt those which appeared yesterday, should be carefully read.

THE HAYNES TRADE.

The arrangement m lde by the Chamber of Commerce committee with Capt Camp bell, of the Alert provides for reduction of one half In freight r,tes to H ines. A material reduction will also be made in passenger rates. This should be appre clated by the people of H hines anc the mining camps back Of that place. The direct gail is heirs. They should bear in mind that the rate was made upon the guaranty of the Skagwav chamber of commerce against loss.
 This guaranty by Skagwav will also insure the people of the Chlkat towns three mails per week arriving on schedule time What the federal government has refused Is thus freely granted by the peo- pie of Skagwsy agreeing to sustain any loss sustained by the contractor.
 Another advantage gained bv regularly scheduled trips is the people will know what to depend upon. They will know when the boat Is due and make their cal citations accordingly.
 This action should convince the people of haines, Poroupne and the surrounding country that Skagwav is ready to mee them more than halt way. Our peopl stand ready to give them their money worth. W: are giving them a service tha no other town can give them. In return we have rightto expect that they vii do what they can to make the venture |: success. If they will give the Alert thei patronage and place their orders in Skag- way they may be assured that the service will never be less but will get better. Just as soon as it can be determined that il vii pay, they will le given a daily service which will mean daily mail.

The petition is fled in the name Of
Edwin NJ. Post and David Christie,
shareholders in the Union Traction COM
pany. The validity is questioned Of the
agreement made in April. 1900, by which
| the Chicago Consolidated Traction COM
pany secured the right to use the down.

ton company in exchange for Sc, $50, 900
of its bonds which were to be placed
with the Equitable i rust company, to be

The bonds We're to be guaranteed by the

ment is alleged to be the result of a
secret understanding in the petition. The
intervenorS charge the actual result Of a
secret understanding and scheme was
that Yerkes and his associates in the

CHINESE SLAVES.
How the Alaska Salmon Industry Is
Carried On.

How the Alaska Salmon Industry Is
Carried On.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23-Horrible con-
dttions existing among the Chinese
aboard vessels in the Alasllan salmon
canning industry are portrayed in a re-
port OF Assistant Surgeon L. H. LumS-
den, at Angels Island, Cal, just
made to the marine hospital service. He
says number of vessels have returned
to San Francisco from the Alaska Coun-
try with the history of several deaths of
these Chinese workers. There were no
physicians aboard, and as rule no sat
isfactory account of the nature of the ILL
ness was obtatnable from the RESPONSE
ole persons.
These vessels" says the report, sail
from San Francisco in March AMI Alril,
each vessel taking about twelve Chinese
to work at the canneries. Last spl;rg
nearly 5000 Chinese were taken rom San
Francisco for this work But since the
plague was not known to exist in their
section of the city at the time of their
leaving no precautionary measures to
prevent an outbreak among them were
:Rken.'
The assistant surgeon says he has been
unable to arrive at a definite conclusion
as to the true nature of the disease, as
the symptoms, while resembling them
are not entirely those of either scurvy or
beriberi. The disease is probably one of
malnutrition, resulting from exhausting
labor, poor quality of food and filthy sur
roundings. These Chinese are recruited
from the poorest and toughest element of
Chinatown, and are held in practical
slavery by these bosses, who provide this
labor. They are often worked eighteen
hours day and live In barracks, in utter
disregard of cleanliness and sanitation.
The fish they eat frequently is we'll ad-
vanced in qualification. 1t is difficult to
conceive fully of the flthiness aboard

CHEFS TO GUST DOCTORS
WHEN THE JENNESS- MIL
LENNIUM Is ATTAINED.

With that conscientious but icono-
elastic lady who several years ago walk
ed down Broadway, New York, clad in
pink calico boomers, Mrs. Jenness Mil
ier lecturing last night at the Peoples
church, stated she had no sympathy
whatever.
Il am not a dress reformer," declared
the lecturer. II am a dress improver.'
And indeed the handsome gown that last
night set off the lecturers Svelte figure
contained not suggestion of the ugly
garment that spells reform for so many
The gown was the short-wai5ted long
skirted affair that has made the name
Jenness Miller known throughout the
land and it was built of velvet satin,
point lace and ermine. But Mrs. Miller
did not talk to the rather small audi
ence that was present at the lecture last
evening entirely on the subject of dress
The lecturer has developed a broader
philosophy since her last visit to ST Paul,
and her address last evening on "Knowl-
edge Is Power" touched upon deeper
things. The subject of properly pre-
pared food was taken up first Mrs. Mil
}er's dream Of the millennium contains no
individual family cooks. Neither does it
contain doctors. Surgeons? Yes. And
scientific chefs. These two classes will
look after the physical we'll being of man.
But doctors and the present day cooks
why, they are merely the necessities OF
this experimental period. In the future
the two will be as out of date as grand
mothers spinning wheels.
The passing of the doctor, Mrs Miller,
thought, would be the result of the CO.
operative kitchen, where the scientific
chef would prepare nourishing food for
number Of families. AS a result Of this
scientific preparation of food, intemper-
ance would become rare vice, and vari-
Gus forms OF immortality, which We're moth
ing more than abnormal appetites, caused
