A False Alarm

About 7 o'clock last evening an
alarm of fire was sounded and the
department responded very prompt
ly. The fire was in the southwest
part of town and it was thought at
first to be a barn in the neighbor-
hood of Bert Fosters residence.
1t proved. however, to be only q
brush pile which some one was
burning. While the alarm was a
false one, it served to show that
the Ardmore fire department is on
the alert, for the beys were ont in
a jiffy and made q record breaking
run.

O D IO O uut HUH lLle O. ho. dSSdy OluSt at Seattle had handled but 55l5, ,18E55 in gold dust. Last year S12,000OOO was the amount received at the office. On reports received from the Klondike and Alaska camps, it is estimated that the receipts this year will reach, if not eX, ceed, 8l7,OO0,0O0.

 Skagway is to be made the terminus of the Chilkoot Pass R. R.

 The Pacific Coast S. S. Go. will dis. patch the steamer Sentinel north from Seattle on July 21st with an excursion party to the Arctic ocean, The route will be by the inland passage to Juneau and Douglas, thence westward by Prince Williams sound and Seal Islands to Nome, thence through Boring straits along the Siberian coast across the Arc tic circle into the Arctic ocean.

 A Skagway woman recently sold her household furniture to a second hand dealer and went south. A short time after her departure the city marshal re- ceived letter from her stating that she had forgotten and left 800 in gold nuggets under the bed.

 On June 5th Messrs. Hutchinson, Wright, Milford and Atkinson of Skag- way went up to the head of Chilkoot Inlet to do assessment work on some quartz leads previously located. Ar irving there, they met a party of 50 or 60 Indians, who were so hostile in their attitude, that the gentlemen concluded that discretion was the better part of valor, and they vacated the premises and returned home without accom- plishing their purpose. Several parties prospecting in that locality last year never returned and the natural infer ence is that the Indians murdered !. them. The Indians of that locality have always shown surly disposition and marked unfriendIiness toward the ! whites, and the sooner Uncle Sam takes them in hand and gives them a we'll merited dressing down, the sooner will that section become safe for the pros pector and settlers.

 About 9 o'clock Friday evening, as Sheriff EiIbeck was relating some of his Arizona experiences to few friends on the verandah of the Binet building, says late Dawson paper, he espied a great cake of ice approaching and call ed the attention of his guests thereto. "There is a tent on it," said one. "Yes, and two boats" said another. "And man chopping wood," said the sheriff. "WelI that beats all I ever saw in the Kootenay," said George Wilkins, "those fellows are taking it coolly, at any rate" So it was. The great cake float ed steadily by, and on it were several men, two canoes and a tent to live in. How far they will go on this float no one can tell, but it behooves them to be. vigilant
 The Budget is .laboring under mis- apprehension if it believes the News is trying to belittle Skagway. On the contrary, the wide awake, progressive, business men of that town have won our unqualified admiration. We know that we have made no mistake in their calibre by simply sizing up the advertising patronage of the papers published there The town that can boast of such an aggregation of talent and we'll directed energy as Skagway evidently possesses need never fear of the future. Their push may be relied upon to keep the town very promi- nent round black spot on the map. It is only necessary to watch their smoke and be convinced that it is cloud by Iay and a pillar of fire by night, ever and always attracting attention toward their promising and fulfilling city.
 The management of the Yukon Flyer line, company operating the steamers Bonanza King and Eldorado on the run between White Horse and Dawson, pro- poses to put on a fleet of fast boats be- tween Skagway and Seattle. Negoti- ations are now pending for the pur- chase of three 16,knot, 27O0 ton steam CTS, now on the Atlantic coast. If the deal is consummated, these boats will be sent around the Horn at once and immediately put into service. Less than five years ago the P. c. S. S. com pany's steamer, City of Topeka, and the little opposition steamer, Willapa, handled all the business of Southeast ]

ern Alaska, making but two sailings a
 month. Now, half dozen companies
 are operating on this route, and among them are to be found the following
 steamers on regular runs: City of Se- attle, Ruth, Farallon, City of Topeka, Al-Ki, Queen, Cottage City, Humboldt, Dirigo, Discovery, Rosalie, Excelsior, and the British steamers Amur, Tees, Clutch and Danube.
 According to the Alaskan, hodoo, a veritable Jonah, was passenger on the Flora when she arrived at White Horse on her first trip up from Dawson. This alleged hod0o had been on four differ
 ent boats on the way up and every one
 of them had met with an accident, and to cap the climax, when he took the train for Skagway, slide was encoun- tered and the train delayed two hours. Four of his fellow passengers on the trip up the river intended going south on the City of Seattle, but when they learned that the hodoo had secured passage on that boat, they bought tick
 cts on the British steamer Clutch, re- fusing to take any chances and risk their lives and property in his compa- ny further. When the City of Seattle steamed out of Skagway they prophe- sled all kinds of disaster to overtake her before she reached her destination. The Seattle made the trip in safety, however, and now the superstitious are afraid that the hodoo turned his devil loose in Skagway to play bis pranks on the unsuspecting of that community.

MANCHESTER MARKET.
There Was General Holiday Appear
 ance at Close of Week.


 Manchester, December 30-The local mar kets during the closing day of last week had a holiday appearance throughout. There was a comparatively small turnover in yarns and cloth, although considerable inquiry was made. Buyers and sellers are apparently indifferent regarding business. Such producers as are we'll fortified with recent orders were indisposed to entertain further proposals except at advanced rates.
 The position of the cotton market does not inspire the buyers with confidence that values will be maintained Prices abroad respond slowly to the advance here.
 It is said that buyers for India have al- ready operated extensively in cloths in an- ticipation of the spring season. Isolated transactions for China in staple and bleach- ings are mentioned. Homemade yarns were dull but steady, an occasional spinner being willing to make concessions.
 Reviewing the cotton industry the Textile Mercury remarks:
 "One effect of the present conditions can hardly fail to be great increase in plant ing next spring, in spite of any attempts to prevent 1t. Should determined and combined effort on the part of American cotton States restrict production so as to maintain prices at the present level, this will simply Invite competitors in other lands to enter the field of cultivation"

RACE BETWEEN OCEAN LINERS.
The New York Finally Left the Etruria
 Far Astern.

New York December 30.-The American lime steamer New York and the Cunard line steamer Etruria, the former from South ampton and Cherbourg, the latter from Idverpool and Queenstown, arrived late last night at quarantine. For the three days the steamers were in company and an interesting race were afforded the pas sengers. December 26, N and 2S the steam CTS were in sight, and it was evident that the Cunard was constantly gaining on December 2S at D. m. the New York vas passed by her rival and during the night she dropped out of sight astern. The New York brought the passengers of the dis abled steamer Westernand of the Red Star line, which was lowed into South- ampton December 22 by the steamer somer- hill
