AN EXPORT DUTY.
Governor Ross of the Yukon Territory Urges tIe Abolition of the Royalty System and Recommends Instead
 An Export Duty on Gold Dust

alty tax there is a great leakage of rcv- enue. due Go Che natural desire Of the miners Co avoid Che payment of taN which ls always more or less irksomc. Under an export duty little loss need result, for tho penalty Of connscation would prob- ably be attached Co Che finding of gold crossing the boundary line upon which tho export tnx had not been paid. and DO company or individual miner would risk Che loss of the entire purse for the sakc or Che trno in the way Of duty.
 The new system would apply Co the cor- poratlons and banks as well as Co miners. The customs officers at the boundary line would weigh the gold there and eV- net the necessary duty before allowing the gold Co proceed
 This would apply Co an gold going out Of Che territory. and would thus apply Co Canadian miners from other provinces og well as those from south of the t9th pnrcllcl Discrimination might hc shown. however by providing for a rebate on gold sold In Canadian cities. just as 8 rc. bate on Che royalty Is now givon .n thc cities Of Victoria and Vancouver

the OLDEST IVAN IN AMERICA

isaac Brock, a citizen Of McLennan
county, Texas, hes lived III yesrs.
he now lives with his son-in-faw at
Valley Mills, Texas.
In speaking of his good health and
extreme old age, Mr.. Brock says:
"Affer q man has lived In the
world as long as / have, he ought
to have found out great many
things by experience.
zone of the things 4 have found
out to my entire satisfaction is tho
proper remedy for ailments that
are due directly to the effects of
the climate.
"Daring my long life have
known a great many remedies for
coughs, colds, cafarrh and diarr-
hra. had always supposed
these affections to be different dis.
eases, but In reading DR.. HART
mans books 4 have found out that
these affections are the same and
that they are properly called ca.
farrh.
al had several long sieges with
the grip. At first 1 did not know
that Peruna was a remedy for this
disease. When heard that Ia
grippe was epidemic cafarrh, I
tried Peruna for Ia grippe and
found it to be Just the thing.
s.As for DIR. Harfnan's remedy,
Pe-ru-na, I have found Ii TO be the
best, If not the only, reliable REM
edy for these affections. II has
been my standby for many years,
and attribute my good health and
extreme old age TO this remedy.

social and affectionate nature and a bright
and sympatheric manner, which won her
many friends. She fully enjoyed all the
truIy good things of this world. Her
xoarried life promised much happiness,
aDd anticipating bright future, she did
ci she could by wonderful courage and
strong viii power to aid medical skill in
pnquerihg the disease which manifested
Hseif neary three years ago, but her nat
orally delicate constitution could not re-
esst the serious bronchial trouble.
During the last three months of her
Through all she exhibited Christian
xesigna, ion and eheerfulness which were
terry comforting TO those who came into
Aer presence. In her last moments she
salmly aud lovingly babe adieu to those
around her bedside, leaving for her friends
this message: "Give my love to every
body" Her weary months of pain were
Frightened by the constant companion
ehip and care OF her husband, assisted by
Aer aunt, Mrs. Coolidge, at whose home
she pass. away. She leaves two other
cunts, Mrs. Horstio Harrison, of FRANK
