WOOD MEN
Met With Chamber of Com
 merce Last Night

Nearly all of the residents of Skag- way interested in the cutting of wood for fuel met with the chamber of com merce last night to consider the advice of the commissioner of the general land office that they offer S5 per cord stump age in lieu of 25 cents in settlement for wood cut on the public domain. The matter was considered at length and It was generally believed that the com missioner was not conversant with the quality of the timber about Skagway and that a fair and full showing of con- ditions to the sectary of the interior wouli bring the commissioner to view the matter in a more just light. It ap- pears that the commissioner is bound to the letter of an am- biguous act that it is believed will be more liberally construed by the secretary of the interior who alone has power to define the intentions of tke law.
 A committee was appointed to draft a showing to the secretary of the inter for submission to an adjourned meeting tomorrow afternoon at o'clock.

Dr. Johnson's wooinE.

Dr. Samuel Johnson married a Mrs. Porter of Birmingham. That lady's daughter thus described the doctors wooing: His appearance was very fOrbidding. He was then lean and hnk, so that his immense structure of bones was hideOusly striking to the eye, and the scars of the scrOfula were deeply visible He also wore his hair, which was straight and stiff, and sepa- rated behind, and he often had, seem ingly, cOnvulsive starts and odd ges- ticulatiOns, which tended to excite at once surprise and ridicule. Mrs. POr- ter was so much engaged by his con versation that she overlooked all these external disadvantages and said to her daughter, This is the most sensible man that ever saw in my life ." Mrs. Porter, who was twice JOhnsOn's age, was not easily won. Urged by her learned lover to say why she still refused him, she said an uncle of hers had been hung and she did not wish to bring disgrace on him. "ls that all?" said Johnson. 'Why, though have never had an uncle hung, have two or three uncles who deserve 1t. So let's get married and say no more about that"

MAKERATE
C.. ble Tolls Lower on Con-
 mercial Dispatches

The rate on commercial dispatches from Skagwsy to Seattle over the United States cable will be lower than the present rate for the same matter over the W. P. S v. R, the Dominion, the Canadian Pacific and the Pacific Postal lines to Seattle by more than 5O per cent. Under the rate established by General Greedy the tolls from Skag- way to Seattle will be 20 cents a word with a minimum charge of s2, From Juneau the rate will be sl.75 for 10 words and It cents word for all words over 10. The present rate to Se- Attle over the Canadian line is s4.25.
 However, Uncle Sam is not so gener- ous to the press as is the Canadian gov erument which makes a l cent word rate over its long line to the Dawson papers. It costs newspapers for press matter from Seattle to Skagway at the present time 2 5-l2 cents a word. The American government has made rate of 3 cents over the cable. This will also be the rate to Juneau from Seattle.
 The rate between Skagway and Ju- neau has not been changed.

Can Ducks smeIIf

It has been often asked whether or not ducks can smell Some hunters cite from their experiences instances that seem to show ducks can smell; others say that ducks cannot. Now the naturalist would say that ducks, owing to their habit, have no need to smell and hence cannot. This rule is not infallible, but generally holds good. Any wild thing with such eyes as ducks have does not need to smell. Ma ture seems to have given birds a dis corning eye and animals discerning nose. A fox will look straight at man and not see him, even when only a few feet away, provided he does not smell him or the man does not move. A duck will not only see man stand ing perfectly still at long distance, regardless of the wind, but will notice any change in the landmarks of its haunts or feeding grounds.-Outing.

A cn.e of Mistaken Identify.

Residents of a certain part of Spruce street have often seen two charming old ladies, twin sisters who look so much alike that no one ever bothers to distinguish between them, coming out from one of the houses. The fact that they both dress almost alike makes it still harder to tell them apart. Some one who knows the old ladies very well relates that Ann, while making a hur- rled departure for one of the big de partment stores last week, put on Su. sans bonnet by mistake. In walking through the store she came suddenly in front of a full length mirror and stepped back in astonishment saying. "Why, Sue, I didn't know you were coming down town this morning!- Philadelphia Telegraph.

NORTH OF Line
WESTERN CANADA EXPECTS A
u 10000, OOO-BUSHEL CROP.
Secretary L. M. Knappen Of the Vest
ern Canada Immigration Associa-
ton Says that the Yield Will Not
Fall Below an Average of Twenty
Bushels an Acre.

Wheat that on the average. will run
better than twenty bushels to the acre
is pulling ahead rapidly all over the
Canadian northwest, and if frost holds
off reasonably well, the country north
of the line should turn out 10000, 900
bushels this season. In all, about
3,500,000 acres stand in wheat. Some
of the fields will show the phenomenal
yields often obtained from new land.
A few, in older settled territory, may
fall slightly under normal. The aver
age for the whole may run over tWen-
ty bushels, but will not fall below.
Frost is the only thing that can klrt
the crop now. This is the size-u,&of
the situation by T. M. KnappenSAec-
rotary Of the Western Canada Immi-
grafton association, who has just COM
pleted a three weeks tour Of the west
ern Canada Wheatfelds.
| Manitoba has considerable wheat
that is a week or ten days late, but
it is working along rapidly towards
maturity and is making up for time
lost earlier in the season. The prov
ince promises well and there is no
black rust.
IT never saw finer wheat in my life
than I saw on this trip" said Mr..
Knappen. There is no black rust,
| and the slight brown rust that has
appeared in a few localities will not
| affect the yield. The only thing in
| the way is the possibility of frost.
The crop in Manitoba is late and an
early frost would catch some Of it.
AS yet there have been no frosts in
western Canada. If western Canada
year, with poor crop in the states,
you can see that that country will
Occupy an important place in the grain

harmful to the church and to social re-
FORM said Bishop l. w. Joyce of the
Methodist church this morning.
st is direct menace to the home and
to the bows of our land. When saloon
is countenanced and dedicated by bishop
of the church, many men will not see the
side Of the question that he means to adj
vocate and will see only the fact that the
saloon was dedicated by the church. The
saloon is fundamentally harmful ana

A Bit of Good Advice In Time.

An Antoinette Sterling story relates
to '"The Lost Chord" which she made
famous. The song did not appeal to
her when the manuscript was sent to
her by Sullivan. But Sir Joseph Barn
by spent an evening at her house at
that time, and in a casual'way she re-
marked; ''By the way, Arthur Sullivan
has sent me a manuscript of a new
song, which he has asked me to sing.
You might look at it. Personally, 1
don't think much of it and am going
to return it." Barnby tried it over
there and then, and before he had gone
half through it he stopped and said:
Going to return it, did you say? 1t
is wonderful-an inspiration. Certain
ly, tell him you will sing it. It is
bound to- make both you and him.
Nine. Sterling always thanked the
fates for bringing Barnby to her house
that night.-London Chronicle.

A Weiehtv Reason

Before certain gentleman set out
for Japan and India his relatives gave
him errands. One wanted an Indian
shawl, another a silver Buddha, a
third chryselephantine carving, and
SO on, till the list Of commissions was
appalling. He agreed, however, to fill
them SO far as possible
But when he returned he had execut-
ed but one of the nineteen commissions
that had been given him. He had
brought back only the chryselephantine
carving. This he gave to one smiling
cousin amid the disappointed looks of
the other relatives. Why, the disap-
pointed ones asked, had he executed
that one particular commission and dis
regarded the rest?
The traveller smiled. "It happened" :"
he began quietly, that each of you had
written your commission on q sheet Of
paper. On the second day of the voy-
age out / took all these sheets of paper
from my notebook, opened them and
spread them on my lap as 1 reclined in
my steamer chair.
1.-THE air was very still at the time,
but suddenly brisk wind sprang up,
and every sheet was blown away ex-
cept that of Cousin Max Max's sheet
was weighted down with the gold coin

Meals Taken In Drinks,

Every one interested in the matter
Of sane living must wonder at the
things the average person drinks. It's
o question whether people seek to save
dime by drinking foods or are merely
gratifying their taste. Half an hour
passed at any well patronized soda
fountain will show the great majority
to be indulging In egg mixtures or
others in which fruits, ice cream or
other food is placed.
A cup of rich chocolate is a small
meal. It's wonder people live at all,
considering the insanity displayed in
eating and drinking. AS for the crav-
ing for novelty, the average person
will eat or drink anything he has never
seen, tasted or heard Of before. Ex-
pert and lightning mixers of drinks
count the day lost whose low descend
ing sun sees no new drink achieved.
They add the name to their list, and
every other person jumps at the
chance to taste this new mystery. The
good part Of It is that so many live
through it.-Philadelphia Record.
