HIGH PRICES
 MAY PREVAIL AT IT.. YUKON

Flour is liable to be forty dollars hundred and other things in proportion at Fort Yukon before the opening of navigation if later reports from the Chandlar are favorable.
 That is the opinion said by Paul Schultz and Joe Minard, who came down with the mail Saturday afternoon, to prevail up the river.
 Fort Yukon is already cleaned out of supplies. Some of the wood camps along the Yukon are pretty well stocked, but they will hold their grub till they see which way the cat hops. Circle is in. striking distance; but even if that camp can spare considerable quantity of necessaries it is altogether probable they will be held as high as conditions will warrant.
 The mail men brought no definite news from the Chandlar. However, they say it is asserted at Fort Yukon that the pay is extensive, and it is evil dent that at that place the country is believed to be all right. The impress sion seemed to prevail at Fort Yukon that scarcity of timber near the diggings will prove drawbak Some people as- sert that one strike was made so far up there is no timber, but that other and more extensive pay was found down where timber is plenty.
 Harry Abernathy, the mail carrier, was told that there were two discoveries staked eight miles apart on one creek.
 Joe McGuire, Daniel McCarty, Henry G. F. Cooke, John Whitney and Henry Day arrived in Dawson Sept. 26, direct from the strike, and told the Dawson News that some of the gold bearing streams flow into Chandlar lake. There are several men in Rampant district who have been at the lake, and they all say timber is abundant there.
 The party referred to told the Dawson News that the gold-bearing streams come out of dome. The streams on one side of the dome flow into the north fork, and those on the south side flow into the middle fork. The north fork passes through ChandIar lake. Big creek and Little creek, the men said, are among the most important flowing into the north fork. Other rich creeks in the district are McMillan, Rock, squaw and Little sqvaw. all flowing into the middle fork.

WONDERFUL
 BAKER GREEK HOT SPRINGS

Harry Burruss, who returned from q business trip to Baker Hot Springs last Friday, was very favorably inn pressed by what he saw at that tropical oasis in the wintry desert of the north.
 He reports about thirty men working around the springs. Ths sawmill is in operation. A fine storehouse has been completed, and good two-story mess house is under way near the site of the proposed new hotel. There is at pres ent messhouse open where the public is accommodated, and stable near by has room for twenty-four horses.
 A large hennery has been constructed with bank of nature-heated dirt for background and the front opening onto broad expanse of gravel tempered by the same agency, where seventy hens loiter about, sing merrily all the day, and exist in state of perfect tranquility, for there is never a cock among them.
 J.F. Karshner is described as happy man. Only one thing can heighten the pleasure of his existence: he loves to meet and remind acquaintances of 1903 how they called him fool for staying with the springs while the Fairbanks stampede was on and he had chance to get in on the ground floor. What do you think of me for fool now?" he asks, in pardonable revehge, pointing to his changed surroundings.
 Mir. Burruss says Frank Manley was planting potatoes, expecting them to lie quietly in the ground till the proper time comes, and then get up and hump themselves and furnish his table with new potatoes about the time the ice runs out of the Panama next year.
 Cy Noble has been the principal ireighter from the springs. He is build- ing A roadhouse on Baker creek at the mouth of Eureka. Dad Foster, of Glen, will conduct tine place, and there will be a bar in connection. The barn is al- ready completed and in use at this place.
 Mir. Burruss states that people at the springs are using the hot water extef- nally as we'll as internally with no evil .nusaaueuee-

MOVEMENT OF THE MAILS

Schultz will start up river with mail tomorrow morning. He will go along the. river beach.
 Harry Abernathy started up last Thursday, walking along the beach, with the mail on his back.
 Mails left Eagle Oct. 13 and Oct. 20. It is believed the first one will reach Ram part by water.
 Every effort will be made to keep the mail moving on schedule time.
 The first ice began to run Saturday morning, and the weather remains mild with out snow. Under these cir cumstances a late freezeup and a long period of hard conditions for mail carriers seems inevitable.

PEARL FROM THE WABASH.
Thousand-Dollar Gem Found in Mus
sci Shell Taken from
That River

Montezuma, Ind Emory Moore, while
opening mussels to obtain bait for his
trotline, the other day, found a pearl
valued by experts at about $1,000. This
is the second pearl found in the Wabash
here within the last two months,
of near the same value, the latter, how
ever, being much finer specimen than
the former. Pearl hunters are beccm-
ing numerous at this place A Wabash
river pearl that is sold here for from
$1OO to 5000, will sell for 1000 to 81 500
by the time it reaches Paris, which is
the best market. The majority of the
pearl hunters here, not knowing the
real value of such gems, sell them for
what they are offered. The Wabash
pearls are considered the finest of the
fresh water pearls.

FENCE IN GAME WITH WIRE
ished in the Forests of
Pennsylvania.

Harrisburg, Pa.-The board of state
game commissioners of Pennsylyania
has decided to preserve game in this
state. The plan is to establish sew
eral state game preserves on land
owned by the state forestry depart
ment.
These preserves are to be inclosed by
a fence with a single wire strung about
three feet from the ground-high
enough for small game to pass under
and low enough for deer to jump over.
Within these Enclosures hunting will
be prohibited, not only in the regular
"close" seasons, but at all times. and
the state game wardens will be en-
powered to enforce this regulation.
The last legislature appropriated
Sc 900, which can be used for establish
ing the proposed single wire fences.
A commission composed of ex-State
Treasurer Frank G. Harris, of Clear
field; w. Hayward Myers, of Will
Transport, and Secretary Joseph Kalb-
fus, of the state game commission,
will select the sites.

of what they term reputation on
the part of various insurance
companies doing business there
before the great catastrophe of
May 19- The companies refus-
ing to pay justify their course
by pointing to what is termed
the earthquake clause. - All
the details are not made pub
lie and it is impossible to tell
how far the insurance companies
may be justified in their acts of
reputation.
One thing is certain, the pub
lie will watch the adjustment of
insurance matters in San Fran
cisco with interest-and should
profit by the outcome. All COM
panies settling on an honorable
basis will receive public COM
mendation in a large degree, but
those companies repudiating just
claims should be forever de-
barred from business in the en-
tire United States.
There seems small choice be-
tween the repudiating companies
they are English, German and
American concerns. The aver
age American will feel no pride
in home companies that repudi-
ate just obligations.

SHE GOT BOOZE.
At independence, and Could Not
Find Way Home.

It happened Wednesday even
ing, after the freight train arrived
from Independence. Someone
phoned Chief Lane that a drunk
en- person was at the depot, and
that worthy officer hurried to the
scene to find, seated fiat upon the
platform and supported by tele-
phone pole-not masculine tip
pier, but a female, SO drunk that
she could not find her way to her
stopping place in this city. She
is a transient, and when asked
where she belonged replied with
an oath that it was none of the
chiefs business. Finally she
mentioned her residence, and was
assisted to her feet and started
homeward, but within a block
had lost her bearings and Chief
Lane and Nightwatchman Os-
burn were forced to support her
on either side and promenade
several blocks to her destination
The scene is said to have
been ludicrous in the extreme,
but one in which the officers at
the time saw no joke. A valise,
saturated with booze and with
one enc knocked out, was carried
by the wotbly damsel, and odds
and ends of feminine belongings
were scattered here and there
along the street and were gath
cred up by the exasperated es-
corts. A small hand satchel con-
tanning papers of various kinds
was also clutched in the hands
of the tipsy traveller, and as she
frequently "stubbed'' her toe
and lunged forward the papers
were waited on the breeze and
Chief Lane exhausted his supply
of patience several times in CIV
ing chase. When Officer Os
burn remarked, disgustedly, that
Jail was the proper place for such
persons, the female showed fight
and David wisely subsidized into
silence for the remainder of the
stroll.
The booze, according to. the
woman's statement, was obtained
in Independence, and she claim
ed she had a gallon. She gave
Chief Lane quart, but one
bottle had been broken. 1t is
said that the female created all
sorts of disturbance on the train
coming from Independence We'd

CANADIAN JEALOUSY.

The ignorance of American
sentiment displayed by our cous-
ins across our northern boundary
is amazing and inexcusable. A
Mr.. Drummond who was dele
gate from Montreal to a Con
gress of Chambers of Commerce
of the Empire" recently held in
London, has been criticised some
what for offering a resolution in
favor of Imperial preferential
trade" in which he referred to
the growth of trade between the
United States and Canada as a
danger which means our political
absorption Of Canada.
The Standard, published at
Montreal, rushes to the defense
of Mr.. Drummond, and says he
''had in mind the great number
of Americans coming into Wes-
tern Canada, with American
ideas, without knowledge of, and
certainly without regard for
Canadian institutions.
The Standard then declares the
policy of annexation lis as dead
as Julius Caesar" but asserts
that ''the Monroe doctrine of late
years has proved exceedingly ex-
pansive,'' especially in South
America, and that ''it might be
found equally elastic along the
northern boundary line
1t might be that the Standard
mistakes the vaporings Of a few
disgruntled Canadians living in
our border cities as expressive of
real American sentiment toward
Canada. The average American
is not giving much thought to
the destiny of Canada, and has
no thought of acquiring it by any
means whatever. 1t is true that
in the event of war between
England and the United States
we might determine ito carry
the war into Africa" and this
certainly would have a powerful
influence on Canada's destiny.
But such a war is too improbable
to contemplate except by the
military student. The Ameri-
canizing of Canada may, some
day, induce her to apply for ad-
mission to the American Union,
but Uncle Sam is not offering his
sons any inducements to colonize
in Canada, so it is plain she is in no
danger, unless self-invited, from
this source,
The truth is that Canada is en-
vious of our material growth and
too jealous to enter into better
trade relations with us. If she
would have the free trade rela-
tions possessed by the states of
the Union she sees the way to
get them. If she prefers to
grope for commercial prosperity
through Colonial, or Imperial
Preferential Trade" we are sat
isfied she shall. Many years ago
we repudiated that scheme as ap-
piled to US. Possibly Canadians
will find similar reasons for re-
pudiating it. When they do,
Canada's ultimate destiny will be
seen from a different viewpoint.
- 1t may be, as the Standard
says, the policy for Canadians
to keep a strict watch on the
United States and upon United
States overtures TO Canada 81
but we would assure it that no
American is losing sleep over the
ultimate destiny OF Canada.
