ALAsKA's INDISPENSABLE DOGS.
They Are the Burden Bearers of a
Large Share of the Population.


The native dog is known as the "huskie"
or malamoot" and Is mongrel-one-half
timber wolf. He has characteristics which
especially fit him for his work-he is heavy
set. with thick coat OF long hair, i'm
pervious to cold. and with Just enough
wolf in his nature to make him restless.

cry which might, and sometimes does be-
come dangerous All this IL understood
In fact, carefully studied and watched by
the Alaskan, and those qualities which
manifest themselves in fidelity and gentle
ness are encouraged by kind treatment
while the wolfish side of their nature is
quickly and effectually subdued by numer-
Gus whippings. These animals have not
yet learned to express themselves by bark
ing, and the only noise they can make Is
dismal howl. 1t is rare occurrence for
them to bite human being but they will
fight among themselves on the slightest
provocation. and It is not an uncommon
sight for half dozen "huskies'' to hold a
pitched battle on the main street of Fair
banks. bucket of cold water will gen.
orally put them to flight, but in the ma tor-
ity Of cases the miners pay no attention to
the melee and allow the dogs to fight 1t

Two dogs can haul a man forty or fifty
miles day on a good trail, or carry from
800 to GOO pounds OF freight about twenty
miles in six hours. They are faithful to
the last degree, and will work even when
weak from lack of food When in this
condition. however, they sometimes become
dangerous. and should the driver fall he
may be attacked, but these instances are
rare, and more often the dog is sacrificed
to save his master from starvation.

The committee on space at the jamestown
Exposition held a meeting this forenoon in
the secretary's Office in the Munsey build
ing, with Mr.. j. Henry Small, the chairman,
presiding. The 5,S44 feet OF space was al
lotted and the prices for the same fixed. It
was said that about 8, 800 feet have already
been spoken for by local business men. The
committee Is engaged In signing up the
contracts with those who have taken space.
The better space naturally commands the
highest prices. With the money that Is left
the committee expects to expend from $500
to 500 in the general beautificat ton of the
entire space around which 1t is proposed to
place a brass railing. The $500 or 500 re-
manning will be applied to necessary ex-
penses.
A committee has been appointed to begin
the formatio Of a commercial club for

visiting merchants and buyers can be enter
tanned. The committee consists OF Ross P.
Andrews, chairman; Monroe Luchs and B.
w. Guy. 1t will wait upon the other trade
associations and ask their cooperation.
The Stars Offer.
The offer Of The Star Newspaper Com
pany to refund the fare of persons living
within a radius of fifty miles from this city
upon the purchase Of fifty dollars worth Of
merchandise from certain advertisers is re-
garded by business men as one Of the most
practical plans yet advanced for the MAX
ing Of the Greater Washington. This Of
fer has been favorably commented upon in
the business places of Washington, and
it Is believed it will result in accomplishing
much for the commercial expansion of the
city. The liberal tender is given in detail
on another page, inclosed In a heavy circle,
and will make it an incentive for many
country merchants and those doing bust
ness in towns and villages to come to the
ness with pleasure while laying in their fall
and winter goods, with their railroad fare
paid.
The Stars coupon or its refund card is
good for the amount Of b persons fare
within "a radius of fifty miles on a $50
purchase: twenty-five miles on a $25 pur-
chase; ten miles on a $40 purchase. or five
miles on a IS purchase. The offer in its en-
tirety is most liberal one and will bring
results for business Washington.

Ancestry.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
If we could have grand scheduling of
ancestries in this country the south would
be surprised to find how many of the Puri-
tan houses of the north spring out of the
landed gentry who stood with the parlia-
ment against the king and were driven
out of England after the Restoration, and
the north would be surprised to find that
nearly the entire white population Of the
south is made up of worthy descendants
of Covenanters and Roundheads. of whom
jackson was strong and virile type. Since
we can make no such showings in a grand
genealogical assize let us have the good
sense to quit talking about it. The south.
which has been the greatest and in fact
the only offender in this way, should take
the initiative.

mand when they are under examination the

Two Fires the Same Night.

About ten o'clock, Tuesday evening,
the old Phenix elevator, which of late
has been used as q tow mill and ware
house, was discovered to be in flames
which were issuing from different
places in the roof and it was seen at
once that the old building was doomed
and that the work Of the fire depart
ment would be confined to saving
adjacent property.
The Northwestern Tow Co., had
about 80 tons of baled tow valued at
about s70O stored in the building, all
of which was burned. J. 9. Webster,
who owned the building, and had
been using it for baling hay, in addi-
tion to the building loses hay press
and an electric motor. No insurance
was carried on either building or con-
tents.
The origin Of the fire is unknown.
For some time 1T has been sort Of
rendezvous for questionable characters
but 1t had recently been closed up so
as to exclude trespassers and a conse-
quent risk Of fire started by matches
or cigars.
The fire department. had scarcely
returned their apparatus to their
buildings when second alarm called
them to the building on Market street
formerly occupied by Tom Conry,
where fire had burned up through
the floor from the basement. AS the
building has been unoccupied for sew
eral months, the fire was undoubtedly
of incendiary origin.

1t is reported that the smokers in
Cresco are going to presenta a testimon-

agency of Wadsworth Bros Chicos,
high grade Havana filled cigar that
sells for a nickel
P. A. Clemmer says he is perfectly
satisfied, though, with the appreci-
ative "thank you's" he had had from
lovers of good cigar to whom he had
recommended the Chico. 1t is one of
the best smokers in the show case, and
sells at a price so low thatany one can
afford to smoke it.
The price, however, is not the reas-
on why our leading lawyers, bankers,
and business men call for the Chicos.
They buy it and smoke it because it
is good cigar. Try one yourself and
