PIPE MUST
 BE EXTENDED Which Connects Bering Sea With Engine. Snake River Debris Has Formed a Bar Where Formerly There
 Was Water.

The inroads made last fail hy Snaks river, and the filling in of debris along the water front by that stream, has formed a bar, which necesstales the extension of the pipe line leading from the fire engine house to the sea. of abeut l50 feet. This eXtension must be nude in order to secure the water necessary to be used in case of fire. Chief Engineer Baldwin is therefore having the pipe extended to s point on the ice where the necessary supply of water may be had.

YUKON RIVER
 NEWS NOTES Koyukuk Miners Did Not .- Have Much Water. Duncan Creek in K!Ondike Section Commands a Great Deal
 of Attention.
(From Dawson News, Sept. 3G)

\fFOm DlWSOn News, Sc l)t. -O
 The Koyukuk camp is declared by those just out.to have plenty of gold, but has been greatly handicapped this season beca Ise of the absence of water The water shortage in the camp is de- clared worse Uni, year than tol. many seasons. It is believed that after the country is rendered more accessible, and trails and steamers bringing it closer to civilized centres and the ground can be worked at a more profit able scale, the koyukuk will be re- vealed to be richly laden with golden wealth. Hammond river has been found this season to be good payer on several of the streams, but it is d large stream and the gold cannot be reached save by turning the water or going down through the ice in winter. 1t is believed that after the first of the year the ice will be frozen to bedrock; and that then the miners will be able to sink to bedrock and clean up nuggets and dust which will create surprise.
 The first inland revenue office in Dawson was opened yesterday, and those who care to take advantage of the newly created conditions may now do so.
 The election of a member of the Do- minion parliament for Yukon territory will occur on Nov. 4. There are now two candidates, Gov. Ross and Jos. A. Clarke, with the prospect of French Canadian, entering the race.
 Four hundred to five hundred men are expected to winter on Duncan creek, Stewart river, the coming win ter. Nearly all will be engaged in de- veloping their own properties. This is the statement of Allan Mcintosh, one Of the discoverers of Duncan, who is in the city on U short visit.

 Everything was eaten that would sus- tain life; then they began eating un- married women and female children.
 l used to hunt with member of this tribe, who mourned his sister, and he related the incident to me. Il was not going to have my sister killed" he said "but they invited her into hut, and and while stroking her hair, one of the tribesmen stabbed her in the back. " But the family who perpetrated the murder were driven from the tribe.
 Dr. Hall had cause for anxiety this summer. The natives failed to catch any whales or any large game, except ono walrus, captured by Dr. Halls men and cached by them. In August the tribe began to leave for different p0ints to intercept the deer on their south
 ward migration. One party went to d range of mountains east of North Pole river and there we found game plenti- fS. Though game was abundant tffere were five of the eight men in our party who never killed deer. although they carried their guns for two months. Dr.. Hall himself made no effort to hunt, but passed his time writing and gaining what information he could from visiting indians from the surrounding tribes. He was nearly always sur rounded by party of native story tellers who assumed to know some ing about white men who had travelled through thei,. country. These story tellers were a < reat annoyance to Han nah (TOokoolitoe) the native interpre- ter, who had six white men to make clothing and boots for, as we'll as her husband and family, who must be clothed after the fashion of her tribe.

Women Should Propose

DR.. Charles e. KIoss, pas tor Of
the FIRST Congregational church
at Webster Grove, Mo. has caus-
ed a sensation by suggesting in
an interview that women should
propose marriage. There are
nearly 300 members of the con-
gregation, and last year there
were only about ID dozen mar
riages amoung the members,
DR.. Kloss is disposed to blame
the women. He says they are
too timid, and that there is no
reason why they should not do
the proposing them selves. The
idea seems to have always been
that women are dependent upon
the men, DR.. Kloss says.
"There is no reason why this
opinion should not be reversed.
Let them become mems econmic
equals, and then they can do the
proposing themselves, instead
of waiting for the men to come
along and ask them to become
their wives. Right now women
do not usually let menpropose to
them until they are ready, and
