WHITE HORSE ROAD.
Route TO Dawson Shortened About
Sixty Miles.


Vancouver, B. c.. Aug. 30.--News
was brought by the steamer Amur,
which has arrived from Skagway, that
the building of the government winter
road from White Horse to Dawson
would be completed abou. October / :.
The course taken shortens the distance
from White Horse to Dawson by some
60 miles, as compared with the dis
lance traversed on the ice trails down
the Yukon river. Tire new road will
come into use Immediately ice CON-
mences to form on the river and navipa-
ton rs suspended. This will likely oc-
cur in about six weeks time. Hereto
fore all travel to and from Dawson has
been suspended from the time of the
close of navigation till the ice on the
river was thick enough to allow travel.
In the spring also, Dawson has always
been cut off from the outside during
that period of the time intervening be-
tween the commencement OF the break
up and the opening of navigation. The
new road will make it possible for con-
tinuous connection to be maintained
between White Horse and Dawson. II
is likely that this winter will witness
the entire abandonment of the old
time winter trail on the river ice.
Road houses are in the course of con.
struction all along the new road.

HAD BUM EYES.
Thought Aleutian Island Seals Were
Sea Lions.


Sea Lions.
Washington, Aug. 29.-The recently
reported discovery by the captain OF
the revenue cutter Manning of new
seal rookery near the Aleutian islands
has just been Wrought to the attention
of the state department, where it has
been investigated. The report, if ac-
curate, would be of the greatest I'm.
portance, for it would go far toward
sustaining the department contention
that there has not really been any
diminution of fur seals in Alaskan
waters that there are as many iur
seals as ever in the open sea, and that
what has happened has simply been
an abandonment by the fur seals OF
their old rookeries on the Prlpyioi
islands. The investigations of Henry
w. Elliott, the fur seal expert OF the
government, have led the officials Oh
the state department to the conclusion
that the report of the captain OF inc
Manning is erroneous. The place
where these seals were reported to have
been found was on the Bouldeye lsiapa,
more than 800 miles distant from inc
Pribylof islands. Mr.. Elliott's conciu,
sion is that what Capt. Mclean, oil ".
Manning. actually saw was nump,,
of young sea lions, which are eas'''
mistaken for seals.

LABOR DAY.
Some Facts About the Toilers' Lee
gal Holiday.

Washington, Sept. 2,--The celebra-
ton of Labor Day this year possesses
more than ordinary significance to the
ranks of the organized toilers, as it is
but 90 years ago since the first observ-
ance was begun. The United States is
he only country in the world that has
set aside legal holiday devoted to the
wage earners. Labor Day is now al
most a national holiday, the laws of
nearly every state and territory of the
Union recognizing it.
The origin OF Labor Day Is found in
an agitation begun in the city of New
York in 1882. All the great labor or
PLANTATIONS of the country participated
in the effort TO secure this recognition
OF labor's cause, the initiative III the
movement being taken by p. ]. Ma
guire, then national secretary OF the
journeymen carpenters. But it was
not until five years later that the efforts
bore fruit in legislation. Then it was
that the far Western state of Oregon
passed law setting aside the first Sat
urday in June for this observance
This law was passed February 81, 1887
Six years later TO the day this law wal
amended, and the present date, the frs
Monday in September. was selected
New Jersey was the second state TO leg
islate this holiday, an act being passe'
in the legislature of that state April 8
1887. New York followed in May o
the same year. Colorado and Massa
chusetts followed in line the same year
but il was not until after 1890 that th'
other states toook similar action.

It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it; or bad effects following use of liquor. wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day. and to get up many times during the night.
