NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR HITTING BAR

Seattle, Aug. 27.-John Kehoe, OF
Tanana, threatens to bring suit against
Schubach s. Hamilton, the steamship
agents. because the crew of the steamer
Mackinaw milked four COWS that he
shipped into the interior via. St. Mich
ael. kehoe maintains that if the crew
got the milk he is entitled to get paid
for 1t, and he says that unless he does
receive the equivalent to the milk in
cash he will at once commence suit.
The above press dispatch was
shown Mr.: Kehoe and his version
of the story requested. He said
his complaint is founded not so
much on the milking of the cows
as upon the fact that he was
charged SIS above contract price
for their transportation. The
extra charge was $25 for hay
consumed in the ocean voyage
and $50 salvage for removing
them from a bar on which the
vessel containing them got stuck
near St. Michael. The owner of
the cattle said if he must pay for
the hay he doesn't see why the
transportation people should not
pay for the milk, and, further,
that he was not instrumental in
sticking the cattle on a bar and
cannot see why he should pay
$50 for pulling them off. He said
he had not threatened to bring
suit, but intimated that he would
report the matter to the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce, and 9th
erwise take steps to let people
Outside know the kind of game
people in this country are up
against.

JACK McQUESTEN'S
CAREER IS ENDED

JACK MCQueSten, the noted Alaska
pioneer, crossed the Great Divide Sep
TENDER 4. The particulars of his death
are not known here, the only mention
of which that has reached Tanana
being in an editorial in a Fairbanks
paper. 1t merely said that he died in
California ON the eve of his departure
to Seattle, where he had been named
as commissioner to the exposition.
Forty-two years ago McQuesten, as
an old Hudson's Bay man, came from
Peel river by way of the Porcupine to
Fort Yukon. Severing his connection
with the Hudson's Bay Company, later,
in company with AL Mayo, he went to
Beaver river. where for nearly two
years the two men lived, with but one
sack of -four during the whole period.
They afterward went to Fort Reli-
ancc, six miles below the site of the
present city of Dawson, where was
Hudson's Bay and Russian trading
post, at that time supposed to be on the
international boundary line. In due
course McQuesten, Mayo, Harper and
Davis joined with the Alaska CONNER
,cial Company, and controlled the trade
of the Yukon river and its tributaries.
Harper and Davis established Fort Sell
kirk, at the confluence of the Pelly and
Lewes. McQuesten stayed at Fort Re-
lance, and Mayo went to Mission
creek, near Eagle.
In the early SOS prospectors crossed
from the coast and found gold on Stew
art river and on Cassiar bar on the
-Lewes. A little later, at Fortymile,
Bonanza and Troublesome bars and
Franklin gulch and Davis creek were
discovered, and the first influx of white
men began. Now, doing business for
the A. C. on commission basis, he
.grubstaked hundreds of men, some of
whom he carried for as much as ten
years without payment, and by his lib
eral-heartedness won the love of every
white man in the country. In 1895
;there was $2S0,O00 outstanding on the
books, and the company, becoming
alarmed, sent in George Baldwin (later
mayor of Nome) to straighten out the
business and enforce retrenehment;
but McQuesten insisted on doing bust
ness after his own will. One day Nc
'Questen came in where Baldwin was
.price-tagging goods. Putting lazily at
"a big meerschaum pipe he said: "Mr.
Baldwin, these are extremely high
prices"
"Mr. McQuesten," was the answer,
81 am running this business"
"You are wrong there" said Nc
Question; "there are two of us now,
but after next spring there will only
be one, and that will 20 me-"
He was right. Baldwin was recalled.
And the old-timer's methods were am
ply indicated, for of the large sum
outstanding all but $500 was finally
collected. It is matter of pride to
all his compatriots that during his long
career as trader Jack McQuesten re-
fused grubstake to but one man.

Here is one of the newest skirts,
gored to fit smoothly over the hips,
but with graceful lines at the foot
caused by the pleated lower portions,
which gives the straight lines that are
extremely smart and graceful. The
inverted pleat at centre front Is
stitched to form wide tucks. which
are held in place with groups Of three
buttons. The skirt is illustrated in

with jet buttons, but all colors and
materials that are suited to the odd
skirt or the coat suit will be found

The skirt is cut in nine cores, the
fronts and back extending the full
length, while the side cores are
heightened by pleated portions that
give becoming fulness at the lower
edge. The closing Is made invisibly
under the left edge of the box pleat
