The soldiers stationed at SkagWay have drawn their new stripes and chev- rons. A short time ago the colors dis tinguishing the infantry from other branches of the army, were changed from white to sky blue, but it was not until recently that the supplies were received at Skagway for the non-com- missioned officers. The color for the hospital corps has been changed from green to maroon.
 General Manager M. l.. Washburn of the Northern Commercial Company, who has returned to Dawson after visit ing the Tanana, says that all the men he met there speak favorably of the camp.

All now there are able to take care of themselves, but no more are needed for the present.
 An Alaskan who stole valuable dog was committed to jail by justice of the peace. He appealed to Judge Wick ersham, who sustained the commit ment on the ground that the dog was chattel and the subject of theft. This is all right in one way, but to call a good dog a chattel and anyone who would steal him man may be good law, but it is a mighty unfortunate necessity of the English languag ge.-Ex. The Alaskans are getting ready for the coming session of congress. There will be at least two persons at the na- tional congress during the coming win ter with credentials from their constlt- uents.

 The salmon salters appear to have done exceedingly we'll this season, judging from the reports thus far at hand, says the Ketchikan Journal. The concern at Chomley, managed by J. E. Sales, reports HOO barrels, Alex Mlllar, at Skowl Arm, 800, and Craig Millar, near Sulzer, GOO barrels. It looks as If the product of salted salmon might al- most compensate in some part at least the loss in that of the canneries. At all events, the value of the fisheries product will equal if it does not ex- ceed that of last year.
 Wrangell Narrows will be widened and deepened to an extent that will render it absoluetly safe as passage for Alaskan shipping, whenever the federal government shall take up the work in pursuance of a survey which has just been completed. The survey was made upon the recommendation of Mai. John Mills, chief of the engineer corps of the United States army in the Northwest. It is with special delight that the masters of Lynn canal steam CTS will hail any improvement of Wrangell Narrows. With the rocks removed and the channel strengthened, giving an average width of 200 feet and a depth of twenty at low tide the yes sells can make the run to or from Lynn canal to this port in from six to twelve hours better time than now.

GOLDEN GATE CITY LEADS.
ceptage of suIcides-Chieago
Ranks Third

The number of people who yolun-
tarily shuffled off this mortal coil il
American and other cities during last
year has been investigated by some
deliver in statistics and the following
figures indicate the results: san Fran
cisco leads with the largest ratio, 39.l
per 100000 ~ population Next comes
another Pacific coast city, Los Angeles,
with ratio 81 29.s. The reader has
naturally been looking for Chicago,
and that city does, in fact, come next
with ratio of $40, followed by the
neighboring city Of Milwaukee, whose
ratio is 222 New Orleans was the
scene of the self-destructon Of 2l.a
persons per 100000 of population, and
Cincinnati followed close with 2l.2,
New Haven is next with 20.9 and then
comes the borough of Manhattan with
600. though greater New York as q
whole Is wen down the list with ratio
of only 1876. This is less than Roches-
ter. indianapolis, philadelphia, Pitts,
burg, Baltimore. Boston, Detroit,
Omaha and Louisville, besides all 81
these specifically enumerated above.
As to the foreign cities, Paris leads tic
lst with n ratio of AZ, followed by
Berlin 30, Vienna 2S and Lendcn 30.
There were more suicides in Saxong
than in any other country, 81 per 100
o0o. In Denmark the ratio v-as 25.S. ia
Austria 21.2. in France 157 in the Ger
man empire LA, and Sweden. Norway,
Belgium, Great Britain, Italy, the
United States and Spain followed in
the order given.
The table referring to American
cities Is somewhat difficult to explain
Avhv the city of the golden gate, and
california. with its glorious climate.
IT'S srnst inc, its fruit and its flowers.
should show the greatest number Of
suicides seems a mystery, unless the
presence Of large Chinese population
ey.alains it. The high suicide rate
of Chicago as, perhaps. accounted for
by the rush and struggle Ct that great
city and the large foreign element it
contains--a foreign element, more7
over, which comes mainly from those
countries where suicide is most FREE
ouent. The same is perhaps true of
Milwaukee and OF Cincinnati. The high
rate at New Orleans may possibly be
attributed to its relation to France
and the ideas and traditions brought
here from Paris, the suicide capital cf
the world. But New York city casts
cloud over some Of these eXplanG-
tions. Here are the large foreign pep
iaations, the stress ana strain Of liys
ing and working, tho poverty, the eN-
element. Yet PHILADELPHIA, the
sleeping city of the humorous para
eraphsrs, has higher ratio Of sui
eides than greater New York. And
how Is it to be explained that New
Haven leads all tie other New Eng
land cities in the number Of suicides?
ST. Paul and Minneapolis lie side by
side, but in Minneapolis the ratio is
ia and in ST. Paul it is but 6,5. 1t
seems that the conclusions must be
that there is no method in suicide mad
ness and that the effort to reduce it to
rule is doomed to failure.
