half dozen years when the trail was peopled with toiling thousands of men and horses, rushing onward and up ward. in their mad rush for gold.
 The rest of the journey was unevent- ful, and in the course of time we ar rived at the Mecca of our hopes, and the $50 tired pleasure seekers spread out over the town in search of place to sleep that night. The ones who were successful stayed and the rest returned to Skagway that evening at 8.
 The town of Whitehorse presented a very pretty appearance dressed in its holiday attire, flags flying and ever greens everywhere, and even the dust on her streets looked good to person who had not seen any for several years.
 The sports commenced with the launching of the river steamer Dawson, and it was a pretty sight to see her glide slowly down the ways and shoot out upon the mighty Yukon. After this they had a very good ball game, Skagway against Whitehorse and the umpire-Whitehorse won. There were some field sports and the Juneau team was led out and slaughtered, by both Whitehorse and Skagway.
 We all ate supper ID Whitehorse, and if you could slip into restaurant quick without them seeing you coming you could eat quite reasonably.
 One thing that marred the pleasure of the occasion was the presence of so many police; they had the boys rather frightened, for every time you turned around there was one behind you.
 There was very nice dance in the evening which many excursionists at tended. The dance broke up at F, and the people who had beds sought them gladly. The band boys slept IT in a room and two in the hall, but they didn't seem to mind it.
 The next morning dawned bright and clear, and after we had eaten breakfast, we strolled around town. We met the Rev. Mir. Krause; he expected to get down the river in about ten days. His boat and engine seemed to create quite lot of interest there.
 Before the train was ready to go the band played few tunes, and o'clock Sunday we pulled out, amid the cheers of the crowd, homeward bound at last.
 The trip back over the railroad was enjoyed more coming back, and the scenery looked prettier after a good nights rest. We did not tarry long in Skagway but departed immediately for home, sweet home. The trip back was an ideal one, there hardly being a ripple upon the water.
 We arrived at Douglas about 2:15 Monday morning, and although the town of Douglas is not what you might call beauty, it looked pretty good tc us.
 We said "Good Night" to our Juneau comrades, and went home and dreamed of railroad 'wrecks, digging gold and most improbable of all, that the Juneau ball team won game,' found ourselves in the grasp of horrible red monster, which afterwards became z mounted policeman, and which was 1T reality someone pulling us out of bee to go to work. So ended the excursion

Died.

Dopald Frazer, native of Cape Bre- ton, Nova Scotia, died in this city on Monday, May 23d, 1904, aged 6S years. The funeral services were held today Wednesday, from the M. B. church, Rev. l.. H. Pedersen, officiating. Inter- ment at the Douglas cemetery.
 The passing of Donald Frazer takes from Alaska another of her pioneer citizens. Another "old timer" has gone. A man who has spent some of the best years of his life, sailing these beauti- ful inland seas, seeking shelter from the storms in the quiet bays, climbing the rough mountain sides and digging deep into their hidden recesses in search of gold. He is gone, just as the lamp of promise was beginning to shed it's rays with surer light-just when the efforts of past years were bringing forth their first harvest.
 Donald Frazer was born on the bleak shores of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, and chose at an early age the vocation of seaman. For many years he sailed on merchantmen in the East India trade, and the knowledge gained on his trips to this country, broadened his mental vision and tempered his judgment of the quaint religious be- liefs of these people. During the civil war in the United States he was con- nected with the service, although not as soldier, and contributed his share toward the preservation of the union. He came to Alaska in 1887. Here he has lived and here he died. A man of more than ordinary intelligence, he has won friends in this northern land who will long rememhe him with kindness.
 Of his relatives, we have been able to learn but little, more than that neph- CIV and niece live in Nova Scotia.

Lao Yang. Aug. 1!.-Chinese bandits
last night blew up a portion of the rail-
road ten miles south of Lao Yang. The
road was repaired in a few hours.
The Japanese are preparing to make
an attack. They are making recon-
n~oisSanceS to ascertain the strength of
the Russians at An Shan Shan. The
Japanese are eight miles to the south
ard of Anshanshan. Thence they
hold a line southeast, including the val
ley of Sidahi. whence their line runs
cupied by a large force. Further north
their outposts are some miles from
Landiansan. Opposite An Ping, the
Japanese occupy G~outhyatshi, on the
Taitzi river. Japanese outposts occupy
Diaodanshon, when the Japanese tried
to ford to Bensfhu, which is defended
by the Russians. The road thence
stands towards the Yantai mines and
the railroad north of Lao Yang. The
Japanese also occupy TITAN Tchan. C |

FREIGHT RATES
SEEM TO DIFFER
Elevator Men Protest Against
Alleged Determinations
by Company.
TWIN BROOKS wRoNeE0
TWIN BROOKS wRoNGED
Company Replying Says Twin
Brooks People Were Laborine Un-
der a MISREPRESENTATION
missioners Will Act.

Sioux Falls. S. D.. Aug. 17.-Corre-
s%pondence Which has been filed With
the state board of railroad commissions
ers in this city indicates that the Off
GERS OF the Twin Brooks Elevator COM
pany have been laboring under a mis-
apprehension as to the freight rates
on grain between Twin Brook and
Milbank.
Therefore there is q possibility that
the matter of the protest of the ele-
vator company against alleged discrim-
nations in freight rates on grain by
the Milwaukee railroad be-
tween the towns mentioned may be adj
justed without official action by the
state board OF railroad commissioners,
with whom tic protest was lodged.
1t was alleged in the protest of the
Twin Brooks people that the grain
rates from Sisseton and intermediate
100 pounds, and that the rate from
Twin Brooks to Milbark was 1873 cents
per 100 pounds. win Brooks is only
seven miles from Milbank. while Sisse-
ton is thirty-Seven miles distant from
Milbank.
The Twin Brooks %levator people, it
appears, also made complaint direct to
headquarters of the Milwaukee COM
pany, for the railroad commissioners
in this city have received from the
company a copy of an answer which
was sent by the freight department of
the road to the officers of the elevator
company at Twin Brooks.
The Milwaukee company. in it's reply,
points out that the Twin Brooks peo-
pie evidently We're laboring under u
misrepresentation as to exactly what the
rates We're between the points mem
toned. In the reply it is stated that
the rate from Sisseton to Milbank on
wheat, oats. barley and corn is s cents
per 100. and from Twin Brooks to Mil
bank Ats cents per 100. The rate from
Corona to Milbank is also 4.T5 cents per
100 pounds.
In view of this statement by the Mil
waukee company it is thought the pro-
test of the Twin Brooks Elevator COM
pany will be Withdrawn. In the event
that it is not, the matter will be in
vestigated n acted upon by the rail-
road commissioners at their next meet

ANOTHER ATTEMPT e
TO SETTLE STRIKE
Mayor Harrison Will Hola Con.
ferences With Leaders OF
Both Parties.
HEAR THE STRIKERS FIRST
After Listening to Their Grievances He
Will Consider the Claims Of the
Packers-Other Conferences
Have Been Held.

Chicago, Aug. 17.-Mayor Harrison
will attempt to settle the stock yards
strike. He will meet representatives OF
the strikers today and hear their side
of the controversy.
Later in the day he will have a. meet
ing With representatives of the IKE
and listen to their statements, and he
will then undertake the task OF recon-
Cling the differences.
A large committee of retail dealers
called upon him and asked him to use
his good offices in ending the strike.
The mayor said that he would gladly
do all that lay in his power to put an
end to the trouble and a meeting be-
tween him and the labor leaders was at
once arranged. The mayor then set
about arranging a meeting with the
packers n they promptly sent him
word that they would meet him. but
they We're unable to agree upon an hour
for the conference, for the reason that
the mayor could not tell how long his
session with the labor leaders would
continue. He will meet the packers.
however, soon after the meeting with
The men is over.
There We're a number of conferences
during the day. all having the settle
ment of the strike in view, but none OF
them resulted in anything.
1t is asserted that the alleged secret
meeting etWee the packers and the
SlllheIS WIS uIldllSeu lol ny w. -
Skinner. assistant general manager OF
the Union Stock Yards and Transit
company. 1t is said hat he went to
President DonnellN of the butchers
union. and made a written proposition
providing that the packers reiastate
their old men as rapidly as possible.
and that the question of wages be left
to arbitration. 1t is said that he told
President Donnelly if he would sign
the agreement Mr.. Skinner would UNI
.dertake to see that ii was signed by j.
Ogden Armour. Donnelly said that he
could not sign: that he was compelled
to submit all propositions of settlement
to the allied trades before he could take
action. He agreed to do this, and the
representatives of the allied trades ac-
oepted the proposition with the inser-
ton of the clause, If all details can be
satisfactorily arranged"
This proposition, it is said, was TAX
en- by Mr.. Skinner TO Mr.. Armour, and
it was suggested by the latter that 1t
be shown to The other packers. h
matter went no further than this.
The entire matter was conducted in
profound secrecy, and Mr.. Skinner de-
MES positively that he had anything to
do with the matter in any way. The
proposition, however, was made by Mr..
Skinner or some other person, and re-
suited in nothing.
The numerous assaults that have
been taking place every day II night
in the neighborhood of the stock yards
have stirred the police to more ener-
getic action than they have taken here
tofore. Inspector Hunt, who is in
around the yards, ordered that all men
picketing the yards should be COM
PEELED TO move on and should be ar
rested if they declined to do so.

INTERESTING A
Winner of Rosebud Land Also Found
Iona Lost Relatives.

Yankton. S. D.. Aug. I7.-An interest
ing romance has developed here as the
result of William Brewer drawing No.
SO in the Rosebud drawing. Brewer,
fifteen years g left his widowed
mother IND q younger brother at a
small town in Illinois and went to Chi
cago. The rest of the family then
moved to Oklahoma. In this way they
lost track of each other. Brewer then
moved to Yankton, and since 1889 has
been unable to inc any trace whatever
of mother or brother, although he has
repeatedly tried all sections of Okla
homa. Friday he received a letter
from California from his mother, now
seventy years of age. She had read his
name as a Rosebud winner in a Cali
fornia paper, and had at once written.
The brother is with his mother. Mr..
Brewer is making arrangements for a
meeting with his long lost relatives.
He figures he is having a liberal slice
of good luck in drawing a good claim
and recovering folks he has lost for
fifteen years, all within a week.
