Police Requiring Travellers to Reg

T. Townsend, who has arrived from Dawson, enroute to the Sound,bringS word that the Northwest Mounted Police are requiring all travellers to register at all road houses at which they call between Dawson and Bennett. The keepers of the road houses make the requests, and should any one refuse to comply, they are supposed tc report the matter to the police.
 "The police" continues Mr. Townsend " are working hard cn the Clayson-OlSen' Relic mystery, but are giving put no in formation to every Tom, Ditk and Harry They stop all travellers they meet and ask them thelr names, but do not require them to throw back their parka hoods or make any other such close examination. They are absorbing all information possible and letting out none.

 "The great menace to navigation of the Upper Yukon-the weak point In the through system as operated during the sea son of rSOo-Whlte Horse raplds-wlll thus be parallelled and left behind. Freight will be delivered from Skagway to Close leigh In I2 hours. thus saving 4S hours and four hsndings. The importance of this improvement can hardly be estimated except by those who, during the past sea- son, struggled through to Dawson with their freight, by steamer to Skagway, bv rail to Bennett, by steamer to Miles can von, by tramcar to White Horse. and, finally, by boat to Dawson. By this com pIieated system sldetracklng of freight was frequent, delays were unavoidable.

A magnificent fleet of river steamers will be maintained, and an immense volume of traffic will be han lied without the vexatlous confusion and de- lays that have heretofore impeded traffic.
 'The Canadian government has under taken to remove, by blasting, the last me mace to navigation, the dangerous rock at Five Finger rapids, so that the Yukon and its hesdwaters below White Horse will be as safe for navigation as the. Mississippi river.
 "The steamer lines are preparing to take 20 1000 prospectors to Nome by sea in Jun:, 1000.

What they leave must satisfy those who go direct by sea via St. Mich ael." -. +K @--

OUR CITYS ENEMY.
Loses uuch Trade Because of Scur.
 riious Pubiicattons.

If statements made by the miners in the Porcuplne country are true, the publication of baseless conjectures as to.the duration and extent of the blockade on White Pass Is not the only harm done to the good city of Skagwav by seurillous newspaper pub lieations. The really costly damage done to Skagway trade and influence by the groundless and malignant attacks on the Porcupine country are referred to. Taking their cue from these publications, say those who should know. the Poreupine miners and many of the Halnes business men con cluded that the people of Skagwav were prejudlced against their mining camp. AS a result, many of them quit purchasing goods in Skagway, transferring their pat ronage to Juneau.
 A prominent Poreupine business man, MT. F. F. Clark. In speaking of the matter yesterday, said: "The Budget queered this city in the Porcupine country. Jack Dalton and others down there used to do considerable trading in Skagway until that paper commenced to abuse the country. They then transferred their business to Juneau. It did not hurt the country any, because the Porcuplne miners knew what they had, but it completely knocked Skag. way. The merchants of this city would have had a good market in that country had the people not got 1t into their heads that Skaswav did not look with favor upon the development of their section, and they got that idea from that souree."
 Mir. Clark is confirmed in his statement by dozens of those who have claims and other interests in that country.
 Another evil feature of this abuse of that country was the opposition the delegates from.the Porcupine encountered from the Skagway delegation at the Ju- neau convention. Members of the Skag- way delegation expostulated with them, informing them that the sheet they re- fened to represented no one In particular. and that as a matter of fact the people of Skagwav had the most friendly feeling for Halnes and the Poreuplne country. The inyariable retort was, "Well, there must be something In 1t, or you would with draw your support from a paper that Is hurting you so much. It Is doing us no harm, but we prefer to associate and do business with our friends"

any serious reduction in prices will oc-
cur in the iron and steel market. Tha
worlds demand shows signs Of lncreas-
ing rather than decreasing The recent
drop in America was merely n transit
ton from fictitious to real values. Such
famine prices us had been reached were
impossible to prove lasting. Naturally

pressing influence must be felt, Blu. 1

down Of mills as comparatively un!m-

effect and not in the least likely to re-
suit in any serious diminutton Of prices
