 "On July g, 1897, there appeared in the Associated Press dispatches a news item giving an account of the Klondike gold fields, dated Skaway, which gave an account of the experiences of Will liam Henry Marstens and George lilly.
 "Thgse men were miners and the news item spoke of the hardships of bo,h and the death of lilly from expos ure. I have made some efforts to locate Mir. Marsteus, but have not been able to do so and write to krow whether or not you know such man and if he lives in Skagway.
 My father has always believed that George lilly was a son of one of his relatives"

A company has been organized to build an ice breaker to operate between Nome and Dutch Harbor in the winter time. It is claimed that such plan is entirely feasible. It is proposed that the steamer make two round trips a month connecting at Dutch Harbor with an ocean liner.
 Those who are behind the scheme, it is said by the Nome Nugget, have made a thorough investigation of the subject and it has been found ice breakers can run through % feet of ice, and that four-foot ice can be penetrated by one of the best ice breakers at the speed of F to I4 knots per hour.

right thievery which is as unparalleled
as it is outrageous and appalling: The
accounts Of all trades union officials,

others Of the high financiers to point

less soon lead to the adoption Of the
optional referendum and direct initia-
tive in the government of that city.
The advantage Of the voters having
an option to petition for Referendum
vote on any ordinance or resolution
passed by the city council, is such a
bar to corrupt or vicious legislation that
no good reason has been advanced why
the people should not be able to invoke
this power.
The city Of Cleveland has advanced
beyond the grating stage and Is now
pointed to az "the best governed city
in the United States, and to make that
good reputation sure for the future,
will, when a reform legislature is elect
ed in Ohio, adopt the optional refer
endum and the direct initiative as a
preventative against relapse from
civic virtue. .
With Tom johnson on guard as
mayor Of Cleveland there is no danger
of grating and corruption, but some
time in the future more plastic mayor
for the corporations may be elected
and the Referendum system will be d
check on such a one or on a corpora
ton controlled council.

The sanitarium was for women only
women dipsomaniacs. A luxurious
place, the rate was $125 a week.
"This," said the superintendent, "is
our museum. Odd, grotesque, eh?"
The museum was a collection of in
strumnets for secret drinking that
had been taken from female dipso-
maniacs.
Here was a carriage clock with a
false back that would hold a half pint
of whisky.
Here was mum with a receptacle
of india rubber in its hollow inside.
A mouthpiece like that on a baby's
bottle was hidden under a rosette. The
owner of the mufr would press it tc
her face-a natural and common move
ment-and at the same time take a
stiff drink.
Here were dozen sorts of bonbons,
candies of all shapes and hues, each
containing two or three fingers of
brandy.
fan-it would not open-had room
for half-pint in 1t.
A number of purses were nothing
but whisky TASKS covered with bead
work or leather or silver or gold.
There was even a prayer-book with

that rebates were given TO- shippers In
the California fruit service by prac-
tically all private car lines. ]. S. Leads,
general manager Of the Santa Fe Re-
frigerator Dispatch, enlivened the in
quiry being conducted here by the in
terstate commerce commission to show
the relations between railroads and
companies engaged in the business Of
refrigerating freight In transit.
Mr.. Leads said these rebates were
necessary to his company because all
his competitors were granting them.
He asserted that he could not break up
the practice without precipitating a
rate war.
The testimony today was confined
to the business of the Atchison, Tope-
ka & Santa Fee railway and the Santa
Fe Refrigerator Dispatch, which cor
porations, according to officials of both,
who were on the stand, are owned by
the same interests.
Mr.. Leads occupied the witness stand

EMeALm,NG PROCESS FOR TIES

EMBALMING PROCESS FOR TIES.
ESCANABA, Mich, Nov. 1.-The idea
of treating railroad ties with preserv-
alive is being put to successful practice
here by the Northwestern road. A train
of 13 small cars carrying about $50 ties
is run into one of three retorts, the
heavy steel door is closed and steam at
a pressure of 20 pounds is injected for
two and one-half hours to open the
pores Of the timber. Following this a
vacuum Of % inches is drawn for an
hour to extract the moisture and sap.
A solution containing per cent chlor-
ide Of zinc is then injected, and pres.
sure of 120 pounds is maintained for
two and one-half hours. This is drawn
of and solution containing tannin
and glue is injected, also under pres
sure Of 100 pounds. This latter solu-
ton plugs up the pores and prevents
the chloride from teaching out.

DISHONESTY IN HIGH PLACES.

Considerable space is now being
burned up in the commercial daily
papers concerning the advisability and
helpfulness Of instituting Federal con-
troll of the insurance companies. This
has been brought about by the dis
closures of dishonesty and all around
misuse of the funds of such companies.
And great many alleged reasons are
advanced in support of the proposition.
We suggest that the proper way to cor
rect the evils said to exist, and against
which so much has been said, is to have
the guilty parties arrested, tried, and
If found guilty, sent to states prison.
That is precisely what would be done
if laboring man was the offending
party. The Federal government has
now control Of the national banks of
this country but despite this every one
Is familiar with the fact that scarcely
a week passes but what someone en-
trusted with the management of the
peoples money deposited in Federal
controlled banks Is found short in his
accounts. One way to bring about NOR
al rectitude and honesty among the
high financiers is to demonstrate that
there is one law for rich and poor alike,
and that all who offend will be dealt
with regardless Of whether they be
bank Or insurance presidents or presi-
dents of labor organizations, or any
body else. This people have a right to
expect and nothing short will satisfy.
