rather slack i'm his line. The truth is"
d. said, the continued work of dog catch
ing which has been systematically carried
ON for the past three years has practical
l- rid the city of tramp dogs and those
that ar, not properly cared for. There has
been for six months past an appTcciabIe
d.minUtion in the number of dogs taken
up AZ the pound. This Indicates two
things. that We are getting the tramp
dogs out of the way and that fewer peo-
pile ar, trying to keep dogs without tags
AIr.Eiustein stated that there were
more tags taken out during the last fiscal
year than ever before, and said that the
city had not been So free from tramp dogs
within the last twenty-five years as it is
now.
Enquiry at the Collectors Odice dcvcI-
opsd the fact that there Were 9,gS6 dog
licenses sold last year, and that up TO the
present time, since July l. there has been
tt.9 ISSUED. The Collector stated that
the difference between the number sold
this year and last would probably be made
ut when the people return TO the city ana
settle down for the winter
Attention was called To the fact that at
the end Of the last fiscal year a good
many people notified the Pouudmastcr
ln7t they would not Try 10 keep their
dogs longer. and several hundred were
taken up at that time and disposed Of AT
the pound. That fact. il was stated. might
somewhat affect the number OF licenses
issued during the present fiscal year The
fuunCmaStsr expressed the opinion that
the Keeping Of dogs might be on the de
crease among the people OF the city. as
the ma jority of the animals are worthless,
except as pets, and he thought people
might tire OF them and stop keeping dogs.
W. u. Sullivan. Of Thirteenth and G

alton Of the Commissioners relative 10 his
application for a projection beyond the

by the Inspector Of Buildings to the effect
that the width of covered porch beyond
the building line in question is limited by
the schedules governing projections and is
regulated by the frontage OF the building

stated that the application Of Mr. Sullivan

so DECIDES THE POLICE
Several Parties Have Lately Been Fine1 For Not TurningTOut For the Mail Coach-Police Are Also Watchfu1 For Overloaded Outfits No Trouble Last Year.

Arrivals from Dawson on last night s train report that the police along the trail are carefully watching ail outfits that seem to be overlo rdcd, and are compelling such parties to cache part of their loads. The mall stages have also had some difficulty with obstinate parties who refused 10 turn ut and give the mail the right of-way.
 Offenders of this kind along the trail are being dealt with by police force and a number of fines were imposed for interfering with the mail by tb- structing the trail. One nan by the name of Cohen refused 10 turn out for the stage near LaBar ge, end was ar rested and fined $35 for 1he oifense. He was of the opinion that he had Iaid the price of practical ownership, but two days later found out his mistake. Re, fusing to turn out for a stage carrying the mail he was again id tf'uI, a Mounted Police official and propelled to pay a $25 fine.
 The parties leaving for n V3 on with nine teams of oxen, about hfca weeks ago, were fined $40 for ob3+ ,ttrng the trail and for cruelty 70 rninlals in the fact that all of their sleigh5 were over loaded They were compelled to un- load half of their goods between La Barge and Chico, and are r'poltcd to be slowly moving northward between Montague and Carmack stl::) ,S.
 One man refused to turn out for the incoming stage last Monday between Lower and Upper LaBarge, and he will probably be called upon to settle when he reaches the next police sta ton.
 Last winter no difficulty all vas experienced by the mail req ns in se- curing a right-of-way in he daytime, but several parties were brought before the police and censured pr oll wing loaded sleighs to stand in the Nad over night to the great inconye l.'1 If the mail, which travelled by night $ ell as day.
 Not as much attention was pail to the overlooking of teams ast ear, as the trail was boulevard compared to this years thoroughfare. is fac may also have something to do with the unwllingness to turn 'ut Tor the mail, as they have to go irto deeper snow and further away from the trail to let stage pass than tl'ey did 0 let a dog team with the mail get by

The experience of Miss Nina Moore going to Dawson all the way from hei home in San Francisco to marry the man of her choice, w. H. Bledsoe and upon arriving, finding her prospec- tive better half tied up to an actress iss one of the hard luck stories which has not been given in full to the pub lie
 Miss Nina Moore, 24 years of age was for several years an employe ir the publishing house of Crocker X O. of San Francisco, and early last spring resigned her position to go to Nome At the latter place she lived with hei mother and was employed in an abs tract office as typewriter.
 There she met w. H. Bledsoe, a young man of about 25 years, who wa. acting as pilot on one of the steamer of the Alaska Commercial Co.,, p'yint between Nome and Dawson city. The acquaintance soon ripened into an cn gagement and it was arranged that Miss Moore should return to San Francisco and, after the close of nay igation on the Yukon, Bledsoe was tc go to the California metropolis where the wedding was to take place. Miss Moore returned to her former h )mc and commenced at once making prep, arations for her marriage. At tn time she was offered position witt the publishing house provided she would consent to remain one year but this she had to decline on account of her approaching nuptials.
 Late last fall Miss Moore received q letter from her intended, telling her that it would be impossible for him tc go to San Francisco this winter ana asking her to go to Dawson, VI! Ire the marriage could be consumate1 In this letter he offered to send her the necessary funds with which to make the trip.

 She engaged dressmakers, paid SIP: for one suit, Sos for another, $25o for a seal-skn sacque and expended all but about $500 of her hard-earneo cash for handsome wedding outfit Leaving $Ioo with her mother in San Francisco and paying four mouths rent on her cottage there, she started from San Francisco Jan by steamer for Seattle At the latter place she caught the steamer Senator for Skag- way and went thence by rail to White Horse, at which point she paid $Ioo for her fare on the stage to Dawson
 On the trail she made the acquaint- ance of lady from Dawson to whom she told the story of her prosrected marriage to Bledsoe. The Dawson lady said she knew Mir. Bledsoe and was sorry to inform the young lady that the young man had, three weeks previously, been welded to a Mme Lloyd variety actress who was about ten years the senior of the young riyei pilot. She also stated to the chagrined and disconsolate young lady that he marriage of Bledsoe and Mime. LloyC had been consummated on the stage of the Savoy theatre, and was then the talk of the town.
 Miss Moore went on to Dawson reaching there three weeks ago yester day and found that the story was, ir part, true.
 The marriage of young Bledsoc to Mime. Lloyd was announced on the bills of the theatre as prospective at traction, but on the night that it was to be celebrated the, groom could not be found and it was learned that he had left town. The young man return ed, however, few days later and took up his residence with the variety act- ress on Second street, where they are no wliving as man and wife, tholgF no marriage ceremony has yet been performed.
 Miss Moore, upon learning the facts went at once to the Alaska Conner cial Co.'s office, to the officers of which she told her tale of woe. Sympathising with the young lady the officials prom ised to make good the loss she had sus- tained in coming here and furnish the 1ulQS HcCGSSdl lo oNhu 'iN' .N''N stating that as Mr. Bledsoe IS still un- der contract with them, they will de duct the amount paid from his next seasons salary.
 All this time Captain Bledsof has scrupulously avoided meetinl Miss Moore, and the latter of course will have nothing to do with ,im Miss Moore is still there. and may rcmair until navigation opens. 'he $ a hand some brunette, and would have made a queenly wife as compared to the va riety actress, who has very unsayor' reputation, evong among the sporting element of Dawson. Young Bledso' is good-looking fellow with pleasing manners, but a propensity to living ; faster life than would be in keeping with a prospective bridegroom.
 It is claimed that he has been le' astray by the now faded actress, an' the fact that he is still living with he bears witness to the supposition. Mime Lloyd is still holding forth as an em ploye of the Savoy stage, between he numbers she does her share of drinl rustling in the many private boxes o the local pleasure resort.
