Chicago, April 2O-At this writing
the total destruction of the CITY of San
Francisco seems a foregone conclusion.
Last evening an effort was made to
save the palatial residence district on
Knob hill by dynamiting mile of
houses on the east side of Van Ness
avenue, but it was futile, and the fire
spread across the broad thoroughfare
and began its work on the homes of
San Francisco's millionaires. Indica-
tons are that the whole aristocratic
Western addition will be food for the
flames, and the wealthy ones of the
doomed city will be as homeless as the
poorest of her citizens. The destruc-
ton of this addition practically COM
pletes the devastation of the entire
city.
Nation Quick to the Rescue.
The heart of the nation has gone out
to the stricken metropolis of the Pacific

THE VETERINARY

Tail rot does not kill pigs, but may
knock several dollars off the market
price of a high bred, fancy hog, says
Farm Progress. This disease is gener-
ally caused by damp or foul bedding
and is found usually among the first
filters that come. The first thing. no
ticed is that when the pigs are four or
five days old their tails begin to crack
open in places. If neglected these
cracks will soon encircle the tail. 1t is
then too late for a remedy, but if the
disease is treated in time the tail can
be saved. Take warm soft water and
CASTLE soap; battle the tail well and APP
ply olive oil. Repeat twice daily for
several days, and the trouble will dis
appear.
Worms In Hogs.
Hogs affected with worms id the in
testines run down in condition, become
very thin and lank, back is arched,
eyes Gull, refuse feed, walk stidIy and
appear ifeless. The worms NAV be
very numerous, i'm bad cases completely
filing the intestines. The pigs die if
not treated. 70 secure the best results
affected hogs should receive individual
treatment TWentT-f0Ur hours before
administering treatment very little
feed should be given them. Then give
the following medicine as a drench to
each hundred pound hog; larger or
smaller hogs should receive a dose in
proportion: Oil of turpantine. four
drains; liquor ferri dialysatus, one-haIf
dram; raw linseel ell, six ounces. If
necessary repeat the dose ia four days.
After worms have been removed give a
tonic to put the pigs i'm condition.

JUNEAU 10 BE
 THE CAPITAL
Gov. HOggatt Will Move TerritO. rial Offices There as Pro.
 yided in Code.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

Washington, D. C., March 27-Gov. Hoggatt of Alaska told the president today that he desires to make Juneau the territorial capital in fact. He eX- poets to move the capital to that city as soon as he returns there. He in- tends to leave for Alaska next week.
 The civil code of Alaska, enacted by congress in 1900, names Juneau as the territorial capital but provides that suitable quarters must first be secured. As Gov Brady was a resident of Sitka he preferred to keep the capital there and consequently made no effort to effect the transfer to Juneau. Gov. Hoggatt says that buildings ample for the territorial offices can be secured by rental at Juneau.

MORE ALASKA STEAMERS
Seattle Times Says that is Problem
 ofTransportatiOn Men

The Seattle Times has this to say of the demand for more carrying capacity in the trade of Seattle with Southern Alaska, based upon thepurchase of the Bertha and Portland by Capt. O. J.. Humphrey:
 "It is known that the Alaska Com merciaI Company had been trying to sell out for more than a year before Capt Humphrey took over their steamers and mail contracts. He has acted as the local agent of the company during that period and his steamers will continue to carry shipments of freight to their trading stations in Alaska.
 Ut is understood that Capt. Humph- rey will not content himself with the present steamers but will branch out and give the residents of Alaska a service equal to any on the Coast. The Bertha and Portland have been on the northern run for number ofyears and are officered by experienced men. The Portland is at present on the ways at Eagle Harbor and when In commission again Capt Humphrey says that the vessel will be as staunch as any on the inside passage.
 "The is no question but what Capt. Humphrey will increase the fleet by new and larger steamers. It is under stood that it is his policy to place mod ern boats on the run and the steamers will be capable of handling passengers and freight to the best advantage.
 "The Northwestern Steamship Com pany is also purchasing vessels for the Valdez and Seward route and before another year passes it is likely that the fleet running to the westward will be materially increased. The rush to the Panama over the Valdez trail the past two months has made business good for the companies and the steamers have been leaving port with all the freight and passengers they could carry.

HUNDREDS JOIN
 RUSH ID YENTNA
Trails Lined With MuSherS and Valdez Sends Over Squads
 of PrOSpeCtOrS.

Every new account Of the rush to the Ventna adds to the number who are said to have gone into the district, or at least started over the trail Frank Watson came in from Knik last night and reported that 30 large number of men have crossed over the range from Valdez and gone in by wayof the creeks above Knil Arm. The number ofthcSe is uncertain but is probably 100 and uay be greater.
 The number who have gone from Seward and the railroad camps is placed by all who are in a position to form anything like an accurate eStt- mate at not less than 400. Many of these will not get through. Some of them had insufficient supplies and others were Cheechacogs ot the primary class who are apt to get cold tootsies before they reach ShuShetna station. Mir. Watson turned a few of these back in sheer charity, but others disregarded his advice and went on to get bumped.
 "I met two weil-dreSsed men, said Watson, "who each had 8 suit case and . camp stool in their outfit. gently suggested to them that they had better throw those things away and carry more gunnysacks in their place. They said no, the stuG just fitted nicely in their packs, so l let them go in peace. saw they had some experience com ing that would do theEl more good than An injunction Go stop them"
 Mir. Watson repeats the warning already given that Crow creek pass Is becoming dangerous because Of the frequent slides When he came over iJ was safe only in the early morning when the nights freeze held every hing down until after sunrise. Be- cause of this several parties turned back and are now waiting at Glacier creek for a chance to get around the Arm in boats. From Enik they can go through Co Teuna for several weeks yet before the ice breaks on the river.
 Several railroad men came in from Turnagaiu Arm last night. They say that the snow Is gone from the north side of thc Arm, and west of 5I the ground is muddy in the day time. Although the thermometer drops some Iimes nearly Go zero in the night the sun brings ir above che JhawjnG point every day

TO BRING UP THE CASWELL
Little River Steamer to Start North
 About April l2

Captain Thomas Kelton has been SC. lected to take the little steamer Gas. well to Cock inlet for operation on the Shushetna and other streams leading to the Mt. Mckinley district. United States marine inspectors went over the Caswells equipment today and Captain E. A. Swift, who purchased the boat for the northern trade. says she will leave for the Alaska coast about April l2.
 Captain Kelton is a well-known sea faring man and was master of the tug Resolute, which acted as a convoy to the twelve river steamers sent north by Robert Moran in 1899. During the summer Capt. Swift will remain in the north as master of the Caswell. Capt ain Kelton will return to Seattle. The Caswell is now tied up alongside of Pier ?, where her machinery is being overhauled.
 Captain Swift says he has decided to make Fire Island, '"alve miles from the mouth or the Shushetna river, Cne transfer point for freight. The steam CT Neptune, also owned by Captain Swift will meet the ocean steamers at Seldovia and take freight shipments for the Mt. Mckinley district to Fire island, where they will be transferred to the Caswel. It is l2O miles from Seldoyia to Fire island. - Seattle Times.

 After reaching Seward, the bee man will push his way north to the Shu- shetna valley, where he spenta summer about six years ago. He says he has had long years of experience with bees and believes they will thrive near the Arctic zone. He has been following the business for years at Cedar Mills, a little hamlet a few miles out from Portland

 "There is also a greater variety of them.

With flowers so plenti, ! fuI expected to see wild bees, but was disappointed.'
 The site he has selected is loo miles from Seward, the nearest town. By the latter part of the season he expects that the railroad building from the coast to the Panama district will have been completed to the little bee farm that he will establish. Unless an occasional prospector should happen along that way. Mir. Warren says he does not expect to see anyone until the railroad has been extended. Portland Telegram.
