KL0NDIKE HOME
saltwater Bill, Tied Hard and
Fast to Seat of Water Wagon, :.
Hunting for Helpmeet.

Dawson, Y. T., Dec. 21.-Swiftwater
Bill, the fairy prince of the Klondike in
an early day, who the winter of 1897 cut
wide swath in San Francisco, averring
to the reporters Of the. newspapers who
sought to interview him that his time
the hair on their youthful heads, stand
on end by offering spit at crack with
them at 800 per spit, is again in clover.
Late developments in the Tanana on the
claim in which he is interested, 2 above
on Cleary, have shown it to be. one Of
worked this winter to the fullest posi-
bic extent.
During the latter part of last summer,
soon after the purchase was made, a
small steam plant was installed with
which the prospecting was s, done: The
force Of men will be employed all win
ter. H. G.. Krock, who returned from
Fairbanks few days ago, states that
two big boilers with steam hoists will
be on the claim as soon as they can
be taken out. Twenty men are now en-:
board. All the men have signed con-
tracts to take their wages in dust at the
cleanup.
"swift' has ceased travelling the
pace that kills. He has been on the
water wagon for about year and no
longer pines to create a sensation, tho
draw. The last time he was in town be-
fore the departure Of Mr.. Krock he won
SO 200 at one sitting Of solo.
One weakness that has always been q
predominating feature in Swift 8 y
character is still retained, and that is
his fondness for the fair sex. He wants
a. wife and is looking for one who will
share his Cleary creek fortune. None OF
the dance hall or variety theater type
he says, will do, but a real nice, goo6
girl, who will really care for him an6
not his money; It is said Bill has al
several of tho Fairbanks bellies, but
they look upon him as sort Of a Blue
beard and are afraid to take chance

announcement will soon be made in con-
nection with the Duluth, South Shore
& Atlantic. While it's exact nature is
not known, it is intimated by those in
terested in Duluth South Shore affairs
that the expected developments will be
in the nature of an announcement from
the Canadian Pacific railroad headquar-
ters at Montreal, that the line will be
extended from it's present terminus at
Duluth to a point somewhere in the
vicinity Of Thief River Falls and there
connected with the new extension of the
500 line.
This would give the Canadian Pacific
two outlets for it's grain and would
facilitate the movement Of the western
crop each year. Incidentally it would
provide a large amount Of new business
for the Duluth South Shore. It would
be very important move from the
standpoint Of the latter road and would
greatly enlarge it's earning capacity.

FAITHFUL DOG
GUARDS CAMP
His Master, a Lone Trapper, May
Have Been Murdered and
His Body Hidden.
Special to The journal,

Special to The journal.
Duluth, Mimi, Dec. 21.-Members Of
surveying party just returned from
a stay Of several months near the boun-
Diary line, report the disappearance of
a lone trapper named Edwards, who has
lived near Eastwood Lake above Ely
several years, making his living by
trapping bear and other animals.
Edwards sole companion in his long
trips in the woods was huge bulldog,
and the scores Of deep scars on the ami
NAL testify to the many hard battles
he has engaged in with beasts Of the
forest.
While this surveying crew was near
Edwards place he left on one of his
trips. A month later the same party
found his camp outfit and boat on an
island in Bear Island lake.
Nearby was the bulldog, almost
starved, but still guarding the camp.
and it was long time before he would
let one Of the party get near it. Ed
wards has not been seen since, and has
been given up for dead for some time.
Some believe he may have been killed
in quarrel with Indians and the body
hidden. Why the dog should be guard
ing the camp and his master missing
was another puzzling question.

Chicago, Dec. 21.-All the railroads

dustrial lines and aallowasthe instead

be $3.50 a car.
After an investigation of the relations
between the so-called Industrial lines

state commerce commission ruled that
the sharing of thru rates with indus
trial lines was equivalent to the pay
car to the Industries owning those lines.
The Wisconsin Central refused to
cancel it's arrangements for rate divi-
sion with the industrial lines here,
claiming that other roads had similar
arrangement with logging and other in
dustrial lines outside Of Chicago. T."

publican and for many years a regent OF

has the following to say with respect to the
candidacy Of Thomas II. Stryker OF Rome

veror:
1T will be my pleasure on election day
this year to cast my vote for Thomas ii {.
Stryker OF Rome for the office of State
Engineer and Surveyor although Mr.,
Stryker is a Democrat. 1t should be pleaj-
ing to any citizen who ia interested in the
fair name Of our State to assist in ,,a cing
in so importan State Office a MAI of the
type and character OF Mr.. Stryker. If
both parties would only nominate such
men as we would hear less of that detestable
word graft which is so prevalent and
catching nowadays.
Graft il a disease which now infects
certain political factions and il should be
quarantined promptly. The remedy for
checking til disease is the ballot. 1t Is
my earnest hope that on election night

Stryker has been elected State Engineer
and Surveyor. II he is elected, the SOL
600, 900 OF the peoples money voted for
the construction of the barge canal will be
the graft disease will never be permitted
to infect his administration. He is II man
OF experience and ability as an engineer.
In his case the people should ignore party

who Is known to be faithful, honest and
qualified. think l am doing what Is right
when i ask Democrats and Republicans
alike to support the candidacy of MIR.

Addresses q German Audience In Louis

Judge Herrick talked to a big crowd
of Germans up in Louis Haffens territory
in The Bronx last evening. The meeting
was held In Zel.ner's Hall, at 10th street
and Third avenue, and was the largest
yet held In the campaign above the Harlem
The meeting was under the auspices Of the
German Democratic Union, and prior
to Judge Herriok's speech there were
speeches in German by DR.. Senner, former
immigration Commissioner, and others
he entered, the crowd yelling for several
minutes and cheering him as the next
Governor. He said in part
The expenses Of the last Democratic ad-
ministration were SIS 100000. We thought
it extravagant. The people manifested their
displeasure and placed the Republicans in
power. Now. party dong in power gets to
believe that the Government In an asset to
be used by them and their 70 flowers. Tho
last Republican adm in istration has cost
s27. 900 900. Where has the money gone?
Has It been wasted? Who can tell? None
but those who keep the books.
People no longer stea | the public money.
Years ago they did. We now take the public
money. when we want to use it for our own
purposes, under the forms of law. Last
years Lunacy law provided for the appoint
ment of examiners and OF assistant ex-
aminers to find out II those arriving at Ellis
Island were insane.

worked for rs years without vacation. He
got sick and had to stay home, While he was
away some one looked at his books and saw
a mistake. We found out finally that he'd
taken the entire surplus of the bank and 80
per cent of the capital stock. Ever SINCE
then Albany banks compel their clerks to
take rest
the books themselves. We have found out
to Know where the rest has gone There's
only one way-to compel these faithful book
keepers TO take a rest.
Judge Herrick talked at length to the
Germans Of the Raines law and was cheered
to the echo when he said:
