The Hotel Hunter.

Douglas City has long stood in need of a first. class hotel. We have it now in the Hotel Hunter opened up the first of the month by D. J. Milan. MT. Milan has leased the entire upper story of the new Hunter building on Front street and has fitted it up in splendid style, sparing neither pains nor expense in the furnishings.
 A tour of inspection through the new hotel reveals the fact that the above statement is true. Large, we'll lighted bed rooms, furnished with all the com forts and convenience of a home will certainly be an attraction to the travel ing public. Sanitary plumbing and el- ectric lights are also features that are favorable. The culinary department is in charge of Miss Nellie St. Cyr, which is a recommendation in itself.
 We can truthfully say that no hotel in Alaska is so we'll prepared to fur nish comfort to its patrons as. the Hotel Hunter.

KIondike Royalties.

The board of trade of Dawson has re- ported in favor of two per cent roy alty on the net output of claims; instead of ten per cent on the gross as at pres ent. The miners of Dawson are ex- tremely modest in their demands, or rather requests. Had they asked for the repeal of all royalty whatever they would have had the support of every one acquainted with the Klondike, and of many of the most prominent gov ernment officials.
 It is worse than the Atin alien law for it falls, like the snow, on subject and citizen alike. It is a tax upon every days labor and every dollar eX- pended, and in this way is directly retarding the population and the de- velopment of the country.
 Before long and with the competi- tion of Nome and other diggings in American territory the Dominion gov. ernment may not only be glad to dispense with the exacting ofa royalty, but may also have to offer bonus to people to invest their time and money in the Klondike.

Excellent Paper.

The Douglas Island News made it's first appearance to-day, with Editor Hopp's name nailed to the flag staff as editor and proprietor. Mir. Hopp is one of the pioneer newspaper men of Alaska, who, like the Dispatch editor, located in boom town and had to seek the metropolis when the bottom fell out. Although not at the metrop- olis, our Douglas friend is next door, and the Daily Dispatch looks with pleasure at his successful newspaper presentation.-Dispatch.

The Douglas City Fire Department is an institution which has done much good for the city, and with the coop eration of the business men and prop. erty owners it can be placed on good footing, financially. A printed state ment has been made of every dollar of money expended and the rule will be adhered to in the future. But fire de- partments are not self supporting and the question arises, how shall we SUD- port this one? At a business meeting held a few weeks ago it was decided to ask the people who are interested in our town to pay a small amount each month for this purpose. A committee has been appointed who will visit every business man and property owner in the city and receive their subscrip- tions. We hope they will meet with the customary warm reception from all. The day is fast passing away when Douglas can be classed with villages and trading posts. With a population of about 5000 souls we are finding that some importance is attached to our actions, and who can tell what an other year will bring forth on this ls- land. But if we neglect the proper safeguards, the fire fend may lay waste our city and leave us only blackened heaps and smoking ruins. Men and Brethern we can't afford it.

There are three lays, each 40 feet square underground, which will give ample room for the guests invited to Jim's feast of good things.

There will be boxing and wrest- ing and Jim will dance the HuIa-Hula and the Fandango. Jim is an expert having lived in the Sandwich Islands for long time. Ben Wilson will spar any man six rounds for points. Jom McNeme will wrestle anyone at 165 lbs. A'debate will take place over the right ful ownership of claim No7. The speak CTS will be Ross and Mckee vs. Render and Lyle with Kain as judge. The men are all from Douglas and they reserve the right to call each other any thing they like.-Nugget.

Lastly came Winter, cloathed all in frize, Chattering his teeth for cold that did him
 chill; Whilst on his hoary Beard his breath did
 freeze, And the dull drops that from his purple bill As from O limbeck did adown distill; In his right hand tipped Staffe he held, With which his feeble steps he stayed still, For he was faint with Cold and weak with
 cid, That scarce his loosed limbes he able was to
 weld.

Abandoned Farms.

We have seldom seen better excuse
for the abandoned farms in New En-
gland than we find In the Farming
World of Toronto, in an article from a
Canadian correspondent, who tells why
many of the early settlers in Canada
had not met with the success which
they deserved by their courage, their
vigor and their hard work. He says:
"AIany of us settled on land which never
should have been settled on, that should
have been kept in woods, IN which con.
dition 1t would have been worth a hun
dred times more than it has been in n
cleared condition" He also says sin
many cases those looking for locations
were not qualified 10 judge for them
selves as to the fitness of The land they
were looking Mt, particularly when COW
cred with unbroken wodd, and their
eagerness to locate on land of their own
prevented them giving the time and care
to the subject that such an important
subject deserved" We can give no bet
ter reason why many farms in New
England, which are abandoned or
should be, ever became settled and we
rejoice whenever we hear of their being
returned to the growing Of forests, from
which they never should have been d.
verified. Farms which We're settled in
this way should have been abandoned
years ago, and left to the renovating
process of a wood growth to bring them
to fertile condition again.-American

Prof. Moses Colt Tyler of Cornell

Prof. Moses Colt Tyler of Cornell
says that the United States of Ameri-
ca is the only country of consequence
without distinctive name. He as.
serts that the name America belongs
to the continent and not to the most
important republic of that continent.
However that may be, the name Amer
lea is generally accepted everywhere
as that of this country, and the figure
of Uncle Sam in the cartoons now APP
pearing in the foreign press on the
Chinese war is labeled america" and
not the Omitted States.' The coun-
tries to the south of us do not dispute
the title, and those that do call us
Norh Americans. America is the name
of this country for short and we are
Americans. The United States is a
part of the name of several countries,
while America is that of but one. There
is, for instance, United States of
Mexico, a United States of Brazil, and
a United States of Colombia. Each of
these countries is known by the dis
tinctive part of Its title-as Mexico,
Brazil or Colombia. So the United
States Of America is properly called
America for short, and the designation
United States is more used here than
abroad, just as the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland is seldom
called the United Kingdom except in
the official publications of the British
Empire. The name American has come
to mean resident of this country, and
even the Canadians no longer claim a
right to the name, SO Prof. Tyler's
criticism is inconsequential.

Drying of Cows,

There is a well-founded belief that
the COW who Is persistent mixer does
not produce the best calves. While this
is so, the methods generally employed
to overcome this trouble are far from
the best. The usual plan is to cut off
the feed, oftentimes to the point of
starvation; surely most unwise move
and in nine cases out of ten results In
injury to the COW. The period of lacta-
ton depends more largely on the sys-
TEN Of feeding than farmers are willing
to admit, though ancestry must be
back of 1t all, for the most intelligent
feeding in the world will not make a
long mixer of COW whose ancestors
were in the habit Of going dry for three
or four months. Naturally, il the breed
Is good one, the desire is to keep up
the period of lactation as long as possi-
BILE, and yet have good calves. Particu-
larly is this desirable if the calves are
to be raised. The best plan for accom-
plishing this is to feed the COW the nee
essary food to keep up fair flow of
milk, and with this food that will ben
eft the unborn calf. While doing this
keep milking the cow until she natural
~ falls Off in supply. With heifer
having the first calf, milking should be
kept up as long as possible before the
next calf is born, in order to establish
the long period of lactation, for if the
heifer COW goes dry early after the first
calf 1t will be extremely difficult ia
carry her beyond that period afterward
