When Clifford Pinchot and Miles PoindeXter were in Alaska last summer they had guide who was a hearty eater. He ate all the time he was cook ing, continued to eat while Pincbot and Poindexter were at their meal, and would still be eating long after the others had ceased picking their teeth. The guide was particularly fond of grouse, which are moderately plentiful in some parts of Alaska. Pinchot and Poiudexter would eat grouse apiece, but the guide would consume four or five with apparent relish. Senator Poindexter felt that the thing to do was to shoot more grouse and give the guide his fill. They didn't get shot at any grouse right away, but Poin- dexter kept in practice by bringing down a couple of sea gulIs. A sea gull is about as delicate morsel as a turkey buzzard or harpy. Later in the day Pinchot saw some feathers scat. tered about the camp. "What happen ed to those sea gulIs?" he inquired. "Oh," replied the guide with yawn, q got tired seein' lem around, and 1 just ct 'em."

 The following dispatches to the Skagway Daily Alaskan tell the story of the death of Ed. Ehrlich, a respect ed citizen aud former councilman of Douglass
 Atlin, B. O., Dec. 3o.-After a four teen days journey filled with hard ships, prospector named Myers, reached Nahlin, telegraph station 125 miles south of here yesterday, seeking help for another prospector named Enrich, whom he found in dying condition from scurvy, in a cabin on Canyon creek, forty miles down Nahlin river Myers went into the country last winter and was returning home when he found the sick man in his cabin, He was not aware that there was any one else in the country, Ehrlich's partner having left last June. Upon finding the sick man, Myers re- turned to his camp and brought enough supplies to last until spring. He did everything possible for the sick mans comfort and at his request came on to Nahlin to notify the Gold Com. missioner and Government Agent Fraser, of Enrlich's condition, the sick man being unable to walk.
 Fraser wired Government Agent Cartmel at Telegraph creek, who imme diately sent relief party with medi- cine and food. The party set out this morning. No word is expected of them for week or ten days. Both Myers and Ehrlich are from Juneau.
 Nahlin, B. C., Jan. 4.-The relief part sent from Telegraph creek station to rescue the man Ehrlich, who was found in dying condition in a cabin on the Nahlin river have returned to Nahlin station. They set out last Sat urday morning. Upon arriving at the cabin, they found that Ehrlich was dead. His death was due to ravages of the disease known as scurvy. The body was buried near the cabin.
 Myers, the prospector, who found Ehrlich in his dying condition, and brought the news to the telegraph line, will start for Atlin tomorrow, bringing papers found in the dead mans cabin. Amongst these s letter addressed to brother in Bohemia.
 The dead man has been in the coun try for two years prospecting, and was in precarious condition when found by another pEospector, Myers. The latter returned to his cabin aud brought the sick man food enough to last till spring He made him as com fortable as possible and then at Ehrlich's request hastened on to get relief from the government agent, he being too weak to walk.
