Exhaustive Resume of Alas
 ka-YukOn Institutions.

The pioneer directory that was founded by Mrs. N. L. fergerson, has passed Into the hands of the Metropolitan Press Com pany of Seattle, and Is under the manage ment of F. R. Barnes. The directory has grown into an efialr of far-reachlng lmpor- tanee, and under the name of the Alaska Yukon Directory and Gazetteer, now com piles the data of a scope of far greater ex- tent than Is attempted to be covered by any sin .le gazetteer ln the world,
 There are a number of large state dlTec' tories in the United States and guide books of wide scope the world over, but are in fields of far smaller area. Alaska alone is d third as large as the United States, while the Yukon and the Cassiar are each ss extensive as large state.
 Mr. A. A. Bass, the chief compiler of the company, Is now in Skagway, and was visited at the Fifth Ave u', last night, by an emis.arv of the Alaskan. He gave the reporter a fair idea Of the la- borlous work undertaken by his company.
 Last year the company covered 34 towns, stations and villages. This year the field will be increased to S4, Much data, the subject matter of which Is without the confines of these places, ln, n,reases the labor Of compiling to great degree. Every corporation, company and Institution In this vast territory IS listed, together with the names of owners and officers. The names and addresses of every resident at every postoffice, the mail routes, steamer, stage and railway runs, the working mines and everything Of materlel Import Is listed In this comprehensive work.
 Though every compiler Is assigned district, long distances between places and the el matie conditions of the country make the work very laborlous and expen- siYe.
 The directory occupies a sphere of great usefulness. lt Is found at not only all the meieantlle establishments, hotels and on all the steamers In this country but is in constant demand and use in all the cities that have established trade relations with this held. lt lays the full wealth Of It's intelligence before the public al the British Columbian and coast ports, the mining people of the world and the agents of transportation companies that make con nections with the lines that convey people to and from the AlaSka.YukOn country.
 The Metropolitan Press Go. deserves great credit for the jealous enterprise they have shown in producing work Of such peculiar usefulness and they certainly should be given the appreciation of gen erous patronage.

CRITICISM or LOCAL SPORT
 BY DAWSON MAN
He Thinks That the Game As Played Wednesday Night
 Was Too Much of Sugging Match

the first half and quit counting them in the last. How many fouls were noticed by the referee and members! give 1t up.
 Again the idea of enthusiastic rushing upon the floor and batting their tayorites on the back. Again the cat calling and other bosterousness that arose. Mark me, fl some of those same spectators had wit messed such acts at boxing contest they would have left tie place disgusted and mortified and the authorities would have arrested all concerned.
 No the game was not basket ball and was realty a game of foot ball and baskets represented goals.
 The Malamoots, 1 believe. could have won easily if the other team had not fouled so openly. No restraint seemed used at all. Hit or miss, foul or fair. every thing went. In the place where l came from. Dawson. the mounted police would have storped the exhibition, for t was not a game.

Editor Alaskan:-
 Pardon me for this intrusion. but was the game played pt Elk's hall last night really basket ball or a rOugh.and'tumble grldiron field sport2 Now have played the game myself many times in the East. Arriving out from Dawson learned that a champion game was to be played so went, hoping to pass a pleasant evening. nm sorry did. Many of my Dawson companions left on the Dirigo and l wish ! had instead of sojoumlng in this city.
 The game of basket ball when properly played Is as clean and scientific game as appears In athletic sports. But that game the other night was not basI ct ball. Only Alaskan sports know what it was.
 The referees name was Sandy be- lleve but he possessed little sand. Three or four times he blew his whistle for foul plays but such a din was raised that the players did not hear the blast and the game went on. He should have taken possession of the ball and hung on to 1t and insisted n quiet or give the game to the side whose rooters were not interfering with the evenings sport.

How A KI0ndiler Saved Gold Ho

The following from the JuneIu Record Miner Is well worthy to have eminated from the Skagwoy Hot Ar Club:
 A man who in the e,rly days of the Klondike, after finishing a hard days work in sluicing would lways shake his clothes at night. wash his hands and fa>e and neck in order that he might lose none of the glitteTing gold, finally found that he had sreathed the gold into his lung, and therefore he always went directly 10 hls cabin and blowed against his large mirror for fifteen minutes. The first time he tried 1t he took a towel and wiped of fifteen cents.

The Board of Trade Intends To Do Away With Such
 Outrages In the Future

Since the inception of Atlin camp there has been continual complaint regarding insecurity of titles to mining property, the eomplaiot Is too well founded as the gov ernment has persisted in issuing records over and over again for the same ground. There has been some measure of relief granted In the Amended Placer Act. An afiiavit Is now required with each ap- plicaton for a record.

The man who originated the oft
quoted maxim. "Stur n cold and starve
a fever" either did not understand
what be was writing about or he has
been widely misunderstood 20 the
great injury OF multitudes who have
acted upon the absurd maxim.
Presuming that the author OF Il was
a physician who knew something OF
the nature Of colds and the action Of
remedies, be must have spoken sub
junctiyely and not imperatively, and
then II would read thus; III you stuff
a cold, the consequence will be that
you viii be thrown into a fever as a
result OF the stutfiug treatment Of the
cold, and then you viii have TO starye
the fever"
This is true and sensible iuterpreta-
tlou Of this commonly received maxim,
which has done as much harm as any
Of the thousand and one popular er-
rors which prevail on medical subjects
Without dwelling on the nature -or
causes OF colds or on what physicians
call the pathology Of these disorders
we will say that low or even starva-
ton diet for a few days. with the free
drinking OF warm. mildly stimulating
teas, is better for a cold than any drug
or combination Of drugs.-LOudon Fam

There is a story told OF General Grant

outright TO do anything Of the kind.
but here Is the way be went az IL.

HARD TO GET STARTED.
Things which Overcome Writer

There Is a feeling Of timidity that
oftentimes overcomos a writer when
beginning an article. As In writing q

II is the custom 20 begin with slow
moving piston and work gradually into
full speed until the flow Of words is
free. and then the difficulty with some
Of US is 20 fnd the brake valve. Again.
q writer sometimes discovers that his
beginning is a more fitting ending. and
vice versa. The newspaper style IS 10
throw general conclusions up strong
under the headlines while the sermon
izer reserves them until his final eli.
max.
Thackeray remarked once that he
could never tell1exactly what he was
going to say u1s his pen was IN hand
and under motion and then did not fully
realize just what be was saying until II
was written. There l. subcOnscious-
ness that shapes writing as Il does
speaking. This. ! know. distuibs some
well known theories Of speaking and
writing-as 70 weighing everything and
then measuring II out as a druggist
compounds a prescriptiou-but my oh
seryations are that the preparation iE

then letting the mind work free under
the impulse Of the dominating idea.
There are as many ways and meth.

The existence Of names for wheat In
the most ancient languages confirms
the evidence Of its great antiquity and
Of its cultivation IN the more temperate
parts Of Europe. Asia aud Africa.
From the evidence adduced by botan-
lists OF high standing II seems highly
improba bic that wheat bas ever been
found growing persistently In wild
state. although IL has often been as
serted 10y poets, travellers and histo-
rians.
In the odyssey" for example. we
are told that wheat formerly grew In
Sicily without the aid of man. Dlodo-
rus repeats the tradition that Osiris
found wheat and barley growing pro-
miscuously In Palestine. but neither
this nor other reputed discoveries OF
wheat growing Wild seem at all
credible. seeing thst II does not ap-
pear 10 be endowed with the power
OF persisteDcy, except under continued
culture.
