 From Commercial Companies For
 Wood Burned by Yukon Steamers
 The Skagway wood choppers and others who have been cutting tim ber on the public Ian Is in this vi- cinity during the last year have deposited certified checks with F. M. Mullen, receiver of public moneys at the Juneau land office. Their checks are accompanied by ahdavlts as to the amount of tim Der cut. The sum rendered ill set tlement is at the rate of 25 cents a cord.
 This will not settle the matter ,lntil it shall have been passed upon by the department at Washington. MT. Mullen will probably recon mend the acceptance of the tenders iii full settlement of all the govern ment claims.

If the timber on the land shall be determined to be worth not exceeding $1oo. 1t may be sold by the receiver at private sale. If, on the other hand, 1t shall be determined to be of a greater value than $1oo, it will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder.

Reported to Have Attacked Russian
OutpOsts.
st. Petersburg, May 16.-Disquiet-
ing news regarding the attitude of the
Chinese is shown in dispatch FROM
officers at the front, just issued by the
general staff. In addition to the fur
ther details of the cutting off of Port
Arthur and confirming the report of
the japanese advance upon Liaoyang,
these dispatches state specifically that
the Chinese have commenced HOSTILE
ties against the Russians. Major Cen
eral KarevItch reports that the Chinese
attacked his outposts on the Feng
Wang Cheng road leading to Siamatsi.
General Plug telegraphs that, accord
ing to reports of patrols and mission
aries, the Chinese at Tapadziasti, 100
miles northwest of Mukden, and just
outside the Russian sphere of influ-
ence, are preparing to rise against the
Russians and Christians generally. As
showing the extent OF the hostile atti-
tude of the Chinese, attention is par
ticularly called to the fact that the
distance in an airline from that point
where the Russian outpOsts We're at
tackled and Tapadziasti is 200 miles.
The authorities say that this matter
affects not only Russia, but the whole
civilized world, as it is feared the ris-
ing will spread to other parts of the
empire.

conservative Western employers that
they could all gain foothold and
eventually become men Of property and

determination to lay strong hands
upon the first opportunity that pre-
sents itself, whether it be rolling logs
In lumber camp, driving spikes on
railroad, clerking keeping books, trad
ing or working along professional
lines. The day Of booms, az popularity
understood, has passed; yet there has
not been in the most tumultuous en-
elements attending Western expan-
sion anything comparable to the
growth of the year just passed
There are thousands of young men
many of whom borrowed their fare
West or landed without the slightest
capital, who are now living in beau
tiful homes, and are actively engaged
in enterprises valued all the way from
SOC, 900 to $5OO,OOO.
The truth is that the citizen In any
of the rushing Western cities is so oc-
cupied in Selling the manifold Opp0r-
tunities In his immediate busting en-
vironment that he lacks the perspective
to see that his prosperity and the prog
ress Of his city are Il part Of whole

ninety new towns have just been built
