NORTHWESTERN
POLICE ON ''MUSH"

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, Dec. 2S.--
(SpeciaD-Late advices from Dawson
City state that the Royal Northwest
Police party will shortly start out
n the long mush to Herschell Island,
"a distance of over 500 miles, through
country which is never travelled
excepting by the police party once
each year.
The trails are usually not available
until the end of December on ac-
count OF the many streams, some
of which are not frozen over, and
then the expedition has to lose no
time to make the return journey be-
fore the creeks and rivers break up
in the spring. As usual, the party
will travel the entire distance on
snowshoes.
Their trip is for the purpose Of
taking mail and dispatches to the
Mounted Police posts at HerschelI Is
land and Fort McPherson-two police
posts within the Arctic circle-en-
tirely cut off from civilization ex-
cepting during the midsummer, when
whalers from San Francisco visit the
Northern waters.
These policemen will take the news
of the outside world, for the solitary
settlers and traders up there have
heard nothing from civilization since
last spring.

SKATERS ARE HERE
Match Race on for Tonight
Others May be Arranged
Soon.

Edward Smith and Harry Webb, two
of the fastest skaters of the Great
Lakes district arrived last night from
Duluth and took preliminary prac-
tice in the Belmont ice rink. Tonight
Smith will race "Ted" Schumacher of
this city for best two out of three half
mile heats. Smith is speedy man
and expects to give the local champion
hard tussle. Webb the other visitor,
is here on his own responsibility ana
is trying to arrange match with J.
S. johnson, the race to come of either
tonight or tomorrow. Webb was for
several years the best on roller skates
in Duluth and Superior and only in
the last two years has he done much
on ice. However some of his victories
the past season places him in a class
with the best. At Calumet, Mich. in
the open tournament he came in Sec
ond only to Baptie, the worlds cham
pion, leaving Rankin, champ of Min
nesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, some
distance in the rear.
Mr.. Webb states that If he cannot
get match here, he wifi go on up to
Cavalier where he formerly resided,
and several other towns of the state
and will take on all corners.
John 8. Johnson, holder of the
championship in North Dakota for
several years, stated last evening that
he was willing to take on anybody in
the west, either for purse or side bet.
He is now in active training and may
surprise some of the present aspirants.

MARKETS ARE L|STLEss
Holiday Lethargy Still Extant to q
Certain Degree in Grand
Forks Markets.

All lines of mercantile trade are
experiencing that dullness which
usually follows in the wake of the
holiday season. This holiday lethargy
is expected to hold over till the 18th
of the month when brisker move
ment is looked for. Merchants just
now are engaged in closing out old
stocks and getting in shape for another
year of routine seasons. Coal dealers
are not complaining over the present
trade-that is when they have coal on
hand, neither are the dairymen as in
both these lines there is an inadequate
supply to fill the carniverous demands
of consumers.
The hotel trade is picking up slowly
to be sure, but anything is better than
deserted house. During the holiday
fortnight every drummer and guest,
almost, in the city steered himself to
the nearest or dearest relative and
spent the vacation exchanging yarns
of former days, the result being that
the hotel registers assumed a lonely
appearance.
The grocer is doing fairly we'll, as
people have to eat, but the fact re-
mains that even tie grocers feel a
slight touch of the holiday slump. The
cigar trade is picking up brisker per-
haps than the other lines. This, has
been accounted for in several ways,
chief among them being the assertion
that the New Years resolutions begin
their career of ruin and demolition
about this time

PARDON DENIED TO
An EAST SIDE
MURDERER
John Hutchinson, Who Years
Ago Committed Crime Must
Stay in the Pen.

John Hutchinson, who in 1855
stabbed to death l. McLain, a lumber
jack has been denied a pardon by the
Minnesota board of pardon. The MUIR
der, one of the most cold-blooded in
the criminal history of this part of
the state occurred in small shack
near the edge of East Grand Forks,
which. stood on the ground now &C.
cupied by the Grand Forks Lumber
company's yards.
Hutchinson was living in the shack
with woman. whom he claimed was
his mother. This woman was a sort
of disreputable person. On the night
of the murder of McLain, he and a
friend had gone to the Hutchinson
shack. While in there, Hutchinson
claims that McLain made insulting re-
marks to his mother, and he stabbed
him. McLain staggered out of the
building, which his partner had left
shortly before. Together they walked
for about block, when McLain reeled
over dead.
The arrest of Hutchinson followed.
At the trial, the evidence showed the
deed to be one of the most cold blood
ed affairs ever brought to light.
Hutchinson was found guilty and sem
fenced to hang.
An appeal to the governor was made
for communication of sentence, and
it resulted in Hutchinson's being sent
to the pen for life. Recently he made
application for a pardon, and this has
Just been turned down.

HEN FRUIT PRICES ADVANCED
Hen Fruit is Now Luxury in Restaur.
ants-Fowl Seem to Have Gone
on Strike.

"Why this scratching?" asked the
steady customer as he looked over the
bill of fare in a local restaurant last
evening. "You seem to have raised
everything"
The customer was glancing down
the hen fruit dishes when he made
the remark. In each instance the
original price was erased, and a raise
of cents made. This raise has been
made necessary on account of the
price of choice eggs, which are being
held at IS cents a dozen. Butter is
also high, the farmers seemingly
short on both products this winter.
