MINERS WON THEIR POINT
SENT \ DErurArIoN TO orrowA
Treadgold Syndicate VIII Have to
Let Gosof Certain Alaskan
Concessions.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Vancouver, B. c., April pa large
modification made at Ottawar OF the quasi
monopoly right over vacant claims on
three OF the best creeks near Dawson,
lately conceded to the Treadgold Syndi-
cate of London, Eng, and Ottawa, has
relieved the minds of many Yukon miners
and prospectors. The change enables
men to take up vacant claims in the
creek In question and many are so do
ing. The Treadgold syndicate should
still benefit greatly as it will acquire
many claims not taken up individually,
on the easiest of terms under it's con-
cession and also still be able to make
good profits, by supplying water to the
creek miners and companies. This the
dominion government might we'll itself
have undertaken with profit to the state
and advantage to the people Of Dawson.
But Mr.. .Treadgold-a London promoter
and his associates have Strong pull
with leading Canadian ministers and they
used this to much advantage.
However. the men OF Dawson have by
united effort-they sent protesting dep
utation almost 5000 miles to Ottawa
eliminated the worst features Of
doubtfully obtained concession.

No matter what the trouble may be
that renders you cripple, or what caused
it, or how long you have been a cripple,
do not defer the cheering hope Of being
cured, pay no attention to who may say
that nothing can be done for you, but see
this wonderful man, the Bone-Setter, at
West Surerior, Wis. The seemingly inn
possible is easy with him. If you cannot
come at once, then write and describe
your condition as nearly as you can and
be prepared to start for West Superior

What Mr.. Hanson Says Of the
B0ne=Setter and His Work,

If the Bone-setter's work was not right
do you think that so many good, reliable
people would say that it was?-people
who have, no interest, whatever, in the
iBone-Setter and his work? Answer this
question in your own mind, and then read
what Mr. Conrad Hanson says, above his
own signature:

'"To the Public:
II had occasion to visit West Superior,
Wis, on business, and while there to-day,
called upon the noted and distinguished

Alexandria, Mimi, April 24.-Monday a

Fargo, N. D., April 24-Farmers who
had dragged their fields before the snow
storm of Tuesday will not be materially
delayed In their seeding. There was SO
much wind accompanying the snow that
| none was left on the smooth lands.
Roughly plowed land and stubble fields
caught and held all that came and work
on those will be greatly retarded.
Despite the two weeks late season and
the recent storm the farmers say they
will be in good shape with fairly good
weather from now on. The weather has
been so cold that seed would not
terminate even If it had been in the
ground in due time.

their prayers with petition for water.
Not in years has the ground at this sea

other snail seeds were literally blown
away by the high winds and very uneven

Fort Benton, Mont, April 24.-Cold

was needed in this section Of the state.
The seeding is practically finished and
the ground was becoming altogether too
dry, grain that had been in for ten days
not having sprouted. Warm weather will

The recent discovery by the Penn

POPULAR OLD NEW YEAR CUSTOM
HAS DIED OUT IN DELAWARE

People living in other States think
that Delaware and Delawareans are
queer. Delawareans know that other
people are queer. and so the thing
goes. until one is reminded of the re-
mark that the old Quaker made to his
son. TO wit: ."All the world is queer
but thee and me John, and even thee
is a little queer"
But the people Of Delaware are not
different from those of other parts of
the Union. inasmuch as they change
with the times and suit their customs
accordingly. One of the old customs
which has been relegated to the limbo
of the past here as elsewhere is the
habit of receiving and making New
Year calls. In former years, New
Years Day was looked forward to with
more pleasureablo anticipation than
Christmas itself Then it was that
