 How Dawson ever got along without a brewery is a question that is agitat- ing the public since the news was first given out that the town was to have a hop distillery.

The AIsek dippinps at first were only

The Alsek diggings at first were only 100 miles out from Whitehorse, now discoveries have extended their boundries for 180 miles. This takes them within forty or fifty miles of the White river district. Not more than 100 to 200 miles southward branch off the Chestochena diggings and 200 miles farther north are the Tanaua gold fields.

 If the business men of the city show disposition to reach out for trade in Alaska, Bellingham will be made port of call by the Pacific Coast Steamship Company on it's northern run. Certain ly there can be no doubt about the disposition to seize this chance for trade expansion, and less doubt as to the ability of the city to handle such business. The opportunity is at hand to become au active competitor in AL aska. It indicates our transition from country town and numbering center to commercial port reaching into the markets at distance.-Bellingham Herald.
 A special from Dawson says natural gas has been struck by two miners, who were sinking shaft below an immense slide on Lapine creek for placer. When they reached depth of sixty feet the pick. of one of them, named Williams, broke through the ground and something came hissing out. Will Hams lighted a match to find out whether it was gas or not. He found out. Flames shot up several feet. and Williams fled up the shaft as quickly as possible and escaped, although con- siderably burned. Mitchell, his partner, escaped injury. The gas gradually diminished ill volume and the flow almost ceased in three days. Further sinking will be made to ascertain if a large quantity of gas exists.

The same com pany, encouraged by this experiment. shipped about 250 cattle to Kadiak island. last spring.

There is an abundance of grass on Kadiak, and the promoters of the enterprise say there is no reason i whatever why the stock should not dc as well there as on the ranges of Mon tana or the state of Washington. Cat. tie have been successfully kept at Cook inlet, Bristol bay, in the Yukon valley and even at St. Michael and Nome.

About Lecture Contracts,

A letter has been received by the
Epworth League committee from the
Columbian Lyseum Bureau explain,
ing failure of Father Vaughan to be
present last Friday evening to de-
liver his lecture here.
The reas on is net one which in the
least excuses the bureau with which
the contract was made, and the
bureau should be compelled to make
restitution or specifically fulfill the
contract. If for any reason the
local commi' tee had failed in per-
forming their part of the contract,
the bureau would not have been
content with the simple statement
that the date was cancelled. The
bureau evidently made a contract
which they could not fulfill,
and such unbusinesslike procedure
should be stopped.

Economy In Baking.

There is more dependent upon the
baking powder, so far economy IN
making biscuit and cake is concerned,
than in any other one thing.
The baking powder that will make
the most, the finest and the most
healthful food is the most economical.
The cheap alum baking powders
average about five per cent of leaven-
ing gas. Therefore it will take three
times as much alum powder to raise
the same cake or biscuit as it does of
the Royal powder, for instance, which
is cream of tartar powder with three
times the leavening strength, 50 the
actual cost with the alum powder is
the greatest Further than this, how
ever, the cream of tartar powder
makes the finest kind of food, while
the alum powders frequently fail
when all the eggs, flour and butter
used are wasted.
The greatest economy in the use of
a baking powder like TIE. Royal is in
the healthfulness of the food it makes
1t saves in doctors bills many times
its cost oven alum powders.
The Royal Baking Powder, as every
housewife knows, is always to be re-
lied upon. It is one of the greatest
aids she has. She is always able
with the least trouble to make the
very finest biscuits, cakes, mullins
and crusts. Many a reputation has
been made by the delicious things
she has been able to make with it.
Any woman has a right t. be indig-
nant when the grocer sends her an
other baking powder in it's place,
which spoils her food, Injuries her
regulations and brings her blame.

No Poison in Chamberlain Cough
Remedy.

From Napier, New Zealand. Her
aid: Two years ago the Pharmacy
Board of new South Wales, Australia
had analysis made of all the cough
medicines that were sold in that
market. Out of the entire list they
found only one that they declared
was entirely free from all poisons.
This exception was Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, made by the Cham
herIain Medicine Company, Des
Noines, Iowa, U. S A. The absence
of all narcotics makes this remedy
the sefest and best that can be had;
and it is with a feeling of security
that any mother can give it to her
little ones. ChamberIain's Cough
Remedy is especially recommended
by its maker for coughs, colds, Group
and whooping cough. When taken
in time it prevents pneumonia. This
is for sale by j. R. Kruger.

Fire insurance Co. Compelled to Pay.

Fire Insurance Co. Compelled to Pay.
An interesting legal question came
up at the recent term of the district
court held in Swift county, in the
suit of P. 0. Arnold versus Shible
Mutual Fire Insurance Company of
Swift county. During the heavy
wind storm of last August Mr..
Arnold's handsome barn on his farm
in the town of Synnes was severely
racked by wind and lightning. It
was badly blown and twisted out of
shape at the time, and Mr.. Arnold
had great difficulty in r,scuipg his
horses from the burning building.
Mr.. Arnold was carrying On the
building protection from both fire
and cyclone. The cyclone insurance
company refused to pay the loss on
the ground that the building had
been consumed by fire, and the fire
insurance company refused to pay on
the ground that Mr.. Arnold had not
actually resided upon the farm dur
ing all the time covered by the policy.
He had however maintained his resi-
dence there and kept the place &C.
cupied both by himself and his
brother who made it his home.
The case was tried before Judge
Qvale of Willmar, who at the conclu.
sion of the evidence promptly decided
in favor of Mr.. Arnold, intimating at
the time if the officers of the COM
pany had read their bylaws, or
understood them, the action
would never have been brought.
Farmers and Others property own
ers in iusuring their property against
loss by fire or cyclone should be care
full to select reputable insurance
companies, who will not raise tecbi-
nal objections in order to avoid pay.
ing their just losses.
