EATS RABBITS FOOD FOR 4s DAYS
Experience Of Alaska Prospectors Who
Lost Supplies In River.

w. Gordon Campbell, a California
Tanana country, probably had as hard
and thrilling an experience in that
pector in Alaska. Together with a
companion, Warren Merritt, he lived
for forty-eight days last winter on
rabbits. incidentally two grouse, four
eagles eggs and a goose was added to
this bill of fare, in addition to a stray
lean, lank dog that CHANGED to wan
der into camp but otherwise it was
rabbits three times a day.
The men went into the country on a
prospecting tour. They were very
successful. They found dirt as rich
as 20 cents per pan, and staked out
eighteen claims on the Chisana river,
headwaters of the Tanana.
The winter was mild one, and
while going down Jack Creek the ice
broke and the prospectors lost every
thing but guns and blankets. It was a
life and death struggle then until they
reached Tanana Crossing, Where there
is a government telegraph station.
After a great deal of hard labor they
succeeded in constructing a raft eight
cen feet long and three feet wide
Swapping guns and blankets on this
they were able to make much better
time, although their paraphernalia was
wet from the time they started until
the end of the journey.
Merritt. who is older than Campbell
could not get off the raft unassiste6
when the crossing was finally reached
Prior to reaching their destination
they did not taste food for twenty
four hours. What few rabbits they
were able to get before that time were
for the most part diseased, and the
two men were in a terrible condition.
Mr.. Campbell, in spite of the trouble
he had in the north is going back just
as soon as he can get another outfit.

Issues of the Campaign.

The great issues in this campaign
will be the disclosures Of republican
corruption and a demand that the
corruptionists sent to the penitentiary.
A revision of the tariff that gives pro-
lection to the trusts will be demanded
and a more equitable enforcement of
law will be required. The people
know something now of republican in
efficiency and corruption, but they will
know all about it before the campaign
is ended
Congressman Sulzer is in Seattle on
his way to Alaska, where he owns min

Sulzer is an enthusiastic admirer of
Seattle, having watched this city's
growth closely, and he predicts a
great future for this country.

The platform is broad gauge enough to
stand upon and it stands for the living
issues of the campaign.
There was in 1896 and 1900 no
more enthusiastic silver man in the
country than myself. l am a bimet-
allist still, but I realized, and so did
others, even before the convention
met, that the financial question was
not an issue in this campaign. During
the last six or seven years there has
been remarkable increase in the gold
production Of the world, to which
America alone has contributed $780,
100000. The increase in the volume Of
metallic money is sufficient. 1t is
when the volume is decreased that re-
course to other coinage or an increase
in the volume of currency issue is
necessary. l do not believe the finan-
cial question will cut any figure in
this campaign and it was a wise thing
to omit reference to the matter in the
platform.

LIGHTNING STRIKES
THREE DWELLINGS
Two Women Are Stunned. but Nobody

thunder storm yesterday morning,
struck in several places about the city,
but only small damage was caused in
each case.
A bolt struck a feed wire of the street
railway company on Wabasha street
between Fifth and Sixth, causing a
spectacular pyrotechnic display. The
ends of the. severed wire flew to the
street, but no one was struck. Mrs. r.
C. Steube, 444 Wabasha street, who was
passing in front of the Astoria hotel,
had a narrow escape, and fell to the
sidewalk while jumping out of the way
of the flying Wire. She was uninjured,
however, and was able to go to her
home unaSSiSted..
The residence of Mrs. Emma Reed,
102 East Ninth street, was struck, and
damage amounting to $50 was caused
by the fire which the lightning started.
Mrs. Joseph. iWenzi, 271 Duke street,
was severely stunned by lightning
which struck her home. The house was
slightly damaged by fire.
c. G. Mitchell's residence, 293 Cliff
street, whichswas struck, was badly
damaged, the, lightning tearing hole
in the roof and deTnolishing the CHM
ney. Mrs. Mitchell was stunned, but

Educators are coming to believe in
the efficiency of the union summer
schools over the small schools held at
various points in the state. The small

ficient instructors in some instances

PROBLEM FOR GOOD
ROADS ASSOCIATION
New Law May Be Needed to
Raise Funds to improve
Roads in City Limits

AT a meeting of the Ramsey County
Good Roads association, to be held to-
day, City Engineer Rundlett, as chair
man of committee named to report
some method for the Improvement of
the so-called country roads within the
city limits, will submit a report The
other members Of the committee are
City Comptroller Betz and Assembly
man Haas.
According to the committees report
the country roads, within the city
limits are the greatest problem with
which the association will have to deal
City Engineer Rundlett finds that it
will require a large amount of money
to make good permanent roads, and
suggests that the most feasible plan
would be to secure general legislative
act, permitting the city to appropriate
money for the construction of roads
within the city.
The committees report, which will be
submitted at the meeting today, is as
follows:
Large Area Presents Problem
The great difficulty we have to con-
tend with is the large area, a little more
within the city limits. While this area
includes 80 per cent of the county, but
little. if any, of the amount set apart
Tor county roads, is expended inside the
city limits. The amount allowed by the
charter for keeping streets in repair is
inadequate to maintain these roads.
1t. would be impracticable to do the
Whole amount of work mentioned by your
committee in one year, but by the appro-
prlat1on of $4,000 year in addition to
what could be raised by assessment the
whole work could be covered in five or
SIX years. This appropriate would only
amount to one-haf mill tax on the as
seSsed valuation of the city.
Under provision of the charter,
where the cost of the Improvement ex-
ceeds 70 per cent of the assessed valua-
ton OF the property, it is permissible to
provide a fund for the balance of the as
sessment in the tax levy. 1t is doubtful
much work, in the way of this pro-
posed Improvement, could be done under
TINS provision, for the property owners
In many instances will not consent to be
assessed for an improvement which in
reality is more general than local There
tore, to provide means for CARRYING out
the provisions and recommendations sub
m1tted. 1T will be undoubtedly necessary
10 nave an amendment to the city char
ter. This might be accomplished through
the charter commission but a more di-
rect way would be to get a general act
through the legislature which would per-
init cities of a certain class to appropri-
at money for the construction of roads
within the city limits.

CAN'T COPYRIGHT IDEA
OF MARY MAGDALEN
Federal Court Dismisses Bill AIIeqina
Second Picture Was an infringement

Judge William Lochren, in the United
States district court, yesterday dis
missed the bill brought by Brown &c
Bigelow, st. Paul art dealers. against
o. & S. Silberman, also dealers in art
goods and picture frames, asking that
the latter be restrained from using a
copy of picture of MARY Magdalen"
for advertising purposes. The court
holds that there was no cause of &C
ton.
1t was alleged that the Silbermans
sent the original picture, which had
been loaned them by Brown & Bigelow,
to Chicago, where an artist was per-
mitted to inspect it and that he then
painted a second picture, which was
sold by the Silbermans to a meat
packing firm as an advertisement.
Brown & Bigelow contended that the
Chicago picture was an infringement
of their work, and brought suit to stop
the rival firm from using it.
The court holds that the idea only
was absorbed by the Chicago artist
and that the idea itself cannot be pro-
tected by copyright.
