The question of whether or not al- coholic drinks are beneficial or advis
 able for use by those working in the intense cold, such as is prevailing in the Klondike now, with the tempera- ture 50 to 70 degrees below zero, has given rise to considerable discussion here of late. Apropos of this, it is learned from the White Pass, whose drivers make the longest, hardest drives in the cold of any stage drivers in tbe world, that the managers deem the use of intoXicants harmful to their men while on duty, and strictly forbid the men drinking The management claims the alcohol only stimulates the men temporarily to artificial heights, and later leaves the physical system in a state of collapse, unable to endure as much as when the body is in the nor nal condition, we'll nourished by good meals and stimulated with nothing more violent than tea or coffee.-Star.
 The steamer Dora of the Valdez Unalaska mail run, which was lost after leaving Kodiak on December 2S, and given up for lost by the officials of the company, reached Port Angeles, Wash. on the afternoon of Feb. 23, under her own sail, after battling with the seas for weeks. The crew of twenty four and her three passengers were all in good health. On December 28, terrible storm was encountered off Kodiak and the northwestern blew the craft far out to sea to the southward with only sufficient coal for one days steam. The cold was intense and ice formed on her hull, impeding her pro- gross and several hours later her ma chinery refused to work. Left help less in the gale and crippled, she drift ed for two thousand miles in mid ocean. The captain ordered the sails set in order to work his way to Seattle. The three passenger were H. Moses, fur buyer, of Sitka and Spokane, Hughey McClashen, of Unalaska and Bobby Gould, a native boy of Valdez.
 By spring it is said that work on the construction of the Copper River & Northwestern Railroad will be we'll under way. It is announced from the East that John Rosene, of the North western Commercial Company, has in- teresred capital in the undertaking and that more than sSOO0,00O has been raised to build the new line. The ter minals are now building at Port Valdez and during the winter rock work has been in progress in Keystone Canyon. The road will open one of the richest copper districts in the world and it is reported that the millionaires back of the new road will likely pool their in- terests and build big smelter at Val deg to handle the product of the mines. The road will eventually run to Eagle and Fairbanks. It will be tonnage line and it is expected will pay we'll from the start. The railroad will be standard gauge and it is believed that the main line will have at least two branches within few months after the work of track-laying commences. In telegram received recently from the East MT. Rosene announces that the road has been financed. While the names of the men back of the under taking have not been published, it is known that the J. P. Morgan interests and other money kings are interested.

 The postoffice department has con tracted with the Council City & Solo, mon River Railroad Company for car rying the mail between Nome and Council by way of Solomon.

 The Wrangell Sentinel gets frisky and says; Now, we wish it distinctly understood that if some action is not taken in the way of cleaning this town up, we intend to bring the matter to the attention of the postoffice depart ment in which event we will clean up or have our mail service stopped.

 If the legislation for this district were being considered by legislature in session at Skagway, or Juneau, or Ketchikan, or Douglas, or Valdez, or Wrangell, or Fairbanks, or Rampant, or Sitka; or any other Alaska town, how much influence would those tele. grams and petitions that are being for warded to the lawmakers from Alas kans who are temporarily in Seattle' have? Everybody guess, and then everybody answer the question: Who are the Seattle boosters, those who favor territorial government or those who urge the retention of the present law-making system?-Skagway Alas kan.
 The Fairbanks News says: The native born white population of the Tanana is increasing rapidly. Last year there were sixteen births in this city, and several in the other towns in the Tan ana. This city now has registered school population of 112 children; Cleary City has twepty-four children of school age,and there's probably that many in Cinema. The crop of Aaskans is growing rapidly larger each year,and inside of five years there will be con- siderable population of native born AL askans. When they are old enough to vote, the chances are, this country may have resolved itself into territorial form of government.

torneys, j. n. Kimball and George Hal
versOn, the plaintiff asked leave to file
an amended complaint, which was strenu-
ously objected to by Attorneys Maginnis
and Corn, acting for the defendant. The
reasons for the objection was that the
same contained a new and distinct cause
of action. Lengthy arguments were made
by both sides, with the result that the
court OverTuled the objection and granted
the motion to file the amended accusa-
ton and set Tuesday next as the date for
the appearance of the defendant in court
to answer to the complaint as amended
1t is understood that counsel for the de-
PENDANT will on that date file a demur-
rer to the complaint which will at least
delay the case coming TO trial for a little
longer time

LOCATED IN PAWNSHOPS
Several Bolts of Silk Stolen
From One of the Ogden De-
partment Stores,

Some time Thursday night or early
Friday morning burglars effected an en-
trance to the department store Of l. l..
Clark g. Sons company on Washington
avenue by the use Of skeleton keys and
secured a quantity of silk and other stuff,
In all amounting to about $500 Most or
the stolen goods were discovered in two
secondhand stores on lower Twenty-flfth
street, where they had been pawned.
The theft was discovered. about o CLOCK
yesterday morning by the clerks in the
store, when they missed several bolts OF
silk The sheriffs office and the police
department were notified at once ana
both detailed a number Of OFFICERS on
the case. Within a half hour the stolen
goods were located, part in Kahn.s ana
the balance in RichmOnd's secondhand
stores, where they had been pawned ear
lier in the day. Kahn paid out SO and
received the greater portion of the plum
der while Mrs. Richmond dug up SO for
what she secured. The thief who pawned
the stuff stated that he was a CONNER
ciai man who had become stranded and
was forced to dispose Of his samples for
ready cash. Notwithstanding that one
roll Of silk alone, and there were a num-
Der stolen and disposed of, was valued at
$40, the parties buying the goods claimed
that they did not mistrust the man with
whom they dealt. The only thing stolen
that was not recovered was a ladies' rail
coat. A diligent search is beirg made
for the thieves

there is to be a prOlongation of the

that the proper application of aeetie
