It looked as though the old fellow had fled, but he had the right idea He understood something was wrong. and he had Inkster turn out with the rcscung party.
 Wada on being landed decided that there was no certainty of getting through with so much ice running. and he came back to Dawson. He will wait here until the river freezes over, then take a dog team for the Arctic coast.
 Sutherland rcmaiped at Twelvemile, near his scow planning to go down the to make Fort Yukon this fall. He in- tended to gu at least as far as Forty mile. The river has cleared. and it is now favorable for him to make tho run
 Wada has a severe cold, and this is one thing that has made him decide to remain here for some time. The scow and the supplies aboard belonged to Sutherland. The goods weighed four tons. and included considerable per ishables such as fresh eggs, and con- siderable canned fruit. Wada says that some of the frcozablcs were so damaged by the frost that he fears they will not be worth much

Editor Nugget: There seems to b" no doubt but that the overwhelming sentiment in the community is in favor of some kind of measure to keep tn" dogs from running It large; but il is also evident that great dissatisfaction exists with the present ordinauc" ou the subject.
 IL is asserted that tac fee of E. for gathering in canine iS excessive and those whose dogs occasionally aud uu- .aVoidably escape. That it iS extremely aggravating for 4 person to have to part with that amount of money to recover his own property is most nat ural, but it is also evident that any smaller fee would not enable the pOmdmastcr to earn q living. The fact must be taken into consideration that two poundmasters have already office were not sufficient to induce them to continue their services. and the present poundmastcr has taken in only about $500 since the early pant of october and out of this he has had to feed about thirty dogs and pay wages to one assistant. Surely no man will care tO occupy such a dsaErcoahlc poe sition for any smaller remuneration. And if this be true. it is evident that while this officer is serving under a fee system, a reduction of the fees does not seem feasible.
 Ii has been suggested that he be paid a salary out of the city treasury but would a man working for monthly salary gather in the dogs running at large?
 Again, if the expenses of the pound- master are paid out of the general fund in the city treasury. the taXpay- CTS without dogs will be compelled to pay for taking care of the dogs be- longing to his neghbor. That many should object to this system is but natural.
 The most feasible system that has yet been suggested in to put license tax of s2 on each dog and out of this create a fund from which the pound master is paid n salary. This would shoulder the expense upon those who in justice and equity ought tO pay the bills ANoNf NOUS.

STANDARD OIL PLANNING
 TO DISSOLVE OF ITSELF

United States officials and prominent members of the Independent oil Refin- CTS association believe complete re- arrangement of the directorate of the Standard Ot company is 10 be made in the near future. It is even rumorcd here that the head of the Standard Oil is contemplating a change of name in- asmuch as the present name is regard cd as dangerous one.
 Wall street believes this to be true This afternoon number of men who for many years have watched the fuc- tuatim of stocks in Broad and Wall streets were asked for information Of thc Rockefeller plan and three of them discussed it after being assured that secrecy should shroud their names. The three are firm in the belief that not only will there be change in the per soupcl of the Standard oil board of directors. but John D. Rockefeller has taken active charge of the affairs of the company at the present time for the purpose of undoing much that Hen " II. Rogers has done in the past eight years, and that even if Rogers should regain his health he will never again be- given undisputed control of the big company.
