RATES ADVANCED.
Slack Business, On Yukon Makes
Travel Expensive.

Dawson, Oct 2i.--The passenger
rate from Dawson to White Horse
was advanced by the White Pass
Saturday to $T5 arst class and s55
second class The resent rate Is $50
first class and $40 second. The rea-
son given for the advance is that the
steamers are carrying only half or
less than half as much freight as In
the summer and are making slower
time and are operated under heavier
expense and risk during the last Of
the season, and since earnings can
not be kept up one way an endeavor
will be made to partly keep them up
another. Shallow water makes 1t
impossible to carry as much freight
now as In summer, and has made the
length Of trips OF the boats much
longer. An average of twenty-five
to one hundred people have been
leaving here for the outside every day
for the last ten days.

San Francisco Man Says Senator Has
Great Future Before Him.
United States Senator Fulton spent
Sunday at home. He is engaged In a
campaign tour of the state and will
make an effort to bring oregon's ma
jorIty for the republican candidates up
to 10000. The senator has been doing
some hard work and the day at home
was an acceptable rest for him. He
expresses the conviction that Oregon
will roll up handsome majority for
Roosevelt and confidently believes the
figure will be 10000. Sunday night
Senator Fulton left again to continue
the campaign, He will make addresses
at many important points. The sena-
tors recent tour with Senator Fair
banks brought him into national prom
inence as an orator, and he has been
warmly congratulated upon his excel

as well as the daring enjoy equal OPP

children are paralyzed with terror

impossible to instruct them.

SWIMMING ON LAND.

Some ten years ago a well-known
German doctor named Roth startled
the educational authorities In Berlin
by asserting that the proper way to
teach swimming to children was to in
struct them in certain movements and
exercises in the Fairgrounds. DIR.
Roth's theory was at first laughed at.
The doctor however. stuck to his guns.
and to-day he has the satisfaction Of
knowing that the state SCHOOLS of
France and Germany have adopted his
system. In London the school board
regards it with great favor, and sew
eral schools have included it, with GER
tain notifications, in their curriculum
The London schools which have
adopted DR.. Roths system have added

ut would be interesting to know
how much the hotels of Washington
spend each year for matches for free
distribution" said hotel clerk to a
Washington Star reporter the other
day. There is no doubt the outlay
amounts to large sum in the course
of year. 1t is a matter of more than
passing interest to watch different men
as they approach the place where the
matches are kept for the use of the
guests of the hotel. Nearly every man
wears different expression and every
man has his own peculiar way Of
reaching for the matches. 1t is Il rare
thing for a man to take simply one
match, although he may need only one
to light his cigar. But he will take
more than one. He will light his
cigar or his cigarette and sometimes
his pine and the rest of the matches
he will shove down in his pocket.

The most difficult part of this act is
the start and the finish, for the human

when he has to straighten himself up
and raise both track and rider until
he Is quite erect, with only four guide

and likewise has to sink back to the
awkward STOPPING position at the end
OF the ride in order to allow the cycler
