THE DOGS OF ALASKA.
Of All Breeds and Sizes, Including the
 Native Malamute.

Dogs in Alaska are of all breeds and
 sizes the most common being the ma-
 lamute or native dog. The word ma
 lamute is an Indian word. meaning Els
 kimo, and is applied to both dogs and
 natives. The malamute is of the wolf
 strain-ln fact, the best of the breed
 are half wolf. They evince all the
 characteristics of the wolf, both in ap
 pearance and in manners. Owing to
 his wolf-like fur the malamute can
 easily stand the extreme Alaskan cold.
 He is a born fighter, an inveterate
 thief, ad somewhat of coward, for he
 will seldom fight singly against lone
 adversary The malamute. while well
 able to stand the cold, does not seem to
 have the same order of intelligence as
 it displayed by the outside dog, and the
 best dog for Alaska would seem to be
 a mixture of the two strains.
 Another native breed in the north is
 the huskie, but this breed is rarer than common usage of the word would inn ply. The real huskies are bred in the neighborhcod of the Mackenzie river, under the jurisdiction of the Hudson Bay COHlpdIly tIldH III Aloohd
 Small dogs, such as fox terriers, are a rarity ill Alaska, for in that country a dog is valuable in the exact propor- tion to the amount he can pull. A sleigh-dog will weigh anything from 80 to 15O pounds, the average being about 75 pounls It is surprising to the un- initiated how big load dog can pull though I admit I have never seen or heard of dog in Alaska pulling f,ooo pounds under the conditions described | in a wellknown novelists book, nor have I seen or heard of dog fight pie tured so vividly in the story, Ill Whlch he graphically describes fight where l two dogs are battling for supremacy ln the team, and the remainder ot the l dogs sit On their launches and form ring around the contestants, who, un- der these conditions I suppose, Woufd fight it out under the Marquis of | Oueensberry rules. I question whether l such a tight ever occurred in natural | history. If there are two Alaskan dogs fighting, and forty uninterested dogs
 in the neighborhood, the fight will soon
 evolve itself into one dog underneath

Alex McMinn, who was in town purchasing hay, a couple of days since, says that Mesa hay is selling in Tue son at $17.00 per ton. Liveryman Barkley is retailing it to customers at $17.50. This hay is purchased at $500 per ton, f. O. b. Mesa. The freight to Tucson is $400, leaving a margin of profit to the dealer that is very at tractive. The question is why cannot the farmers arrange to get some of this profit?

PLENTY OF GAME.

Local sportsmen report plenty of game in this vicinity since the grain harvest. A number of parties spent Sunday in the Kyrene district south of town and all furnish plenty of proof of their statements. Several parties killed as many as one hundred birds the most of which were white wings. Of course a good shot could get more than that if they had plenty cf time but none of these favors were afforded the local hunters.

YEARS AGO

der plea of an emergency the govern
ment took possession Of the railroad
lines throughout the north for military
purposes. Legislative authority for
this extraordinary step had been in
Lincoln's hands for months. but was
not exercised until the following edict
went forth from the war department.
Washington, May Is, 1862
Ordered.-By virtue Of authority vested
by an act of congress the president takes
military possession of all the railroads in
the United States from and after this date
until further orders and directs that the
respective railroad companies, their offi-
GERS and servants shall hold themselves
in readiness for the transportation OF
troops and munitions Of war as may be
ordered by the military authorities to the
exclusion of all other business.
BY order of the Secretary OF War.
The problem of steam transporta-
ton began to trouble the armies as Sc
riously as it did the people when mill
tary activities added to the freight
burden. In the south many railway
lines freely gave the Confederate gov
ernment the right Of way for troops
and army supplies. In the north many
railroad owners were less patriotic,
and to prepare for an emergency the
United States congress, after long de-
batting the situation, had duly empow-
cred President Lincoln to take posses
sion of any and all railroad and tele-
graph lines for military uses when, in
his judgment, the public safety might
require it. He was empowered to pre-
scribe rules and regulations for hold
ing, using and maintaining the same in
a manner conducive to the safety and
interest of the government and to place
under military control all the officers,
agents and employees of the lines thus
taken possession Of, so that they be
considered a part of the military force
Of the United States subject to the
rules and articles of war. Resistance
to or/interference with this sweeping
government regulation system could
be punished as a military offense by
death or such other sentence as a court
martial might impose.
Jackson had created the emergency.
Other Events of the Week.

United States and Great Britain for

about fifty men originally, but re
inforced this afternoon with as many
more to help guard the train into
Philadelphia"
"Mounted?"
THE reinforcements were, but the
original foragers were afoot; they
were Hessians; the others Grants
company of Queens Rangers"
GLORY be to God!" exclaimed a
voice near at hand. did ye hear that,
lads? It's Dutchmen and Tories we're
against tonight Be CORY! I wouldn't
have missed the chance of this shindy
fer the best farm in Camden"
There was a low growl from the
cluster of men, and an ominous move
ment of bodies pressing closer. Duval
laughed mirthlessly.
"The bloodhound takes the scent"
he said grimly. God help those poor
devils when we cut the leash, Far
rell. Where do you propose meeting
them"
Across there in the bluffs" point
ing, where the road turns IN between
the high clay banks. Well leave our
horses here, an cross on foot. Is that
the right plan, boys?'
There was a murmur of acquies-
cence, few questions, and then the
silence of approval. 1t was evident
these minute men were under small
discipline, and their officers led only
by force of character. Without orders
the horses were led away, tied Sc
curely in the black depths of the
woods, and the men came struggling
back, rifles in hand, grouping them
selves along the edge of the stream.
There was no attempt at military
formation, but Duval Strengthened
them out so as to count the number
present
"Sixty-nine, all told" he announced
briefly "All right, boys, come on, and
keep your powder out of the water"
It was firm bottom, but the water
rose above the waist, with sufficient
current so we had to brace against it

bank, encirnled by neavy guard.
Duval singled out the officers from
among the others, and brought them
forward TO where stood. There were
but three--Grant and two Hesslang.
| looked at them koenly, recalling the
slight figure Of the young lieutenant
with the boys voice. Could the lad
have been shot or what had become
OF him?
Are you three all that are left?"
! questioned bluntly, who command
ed the vanguard?'
The two Hesslans looked at each
other stupidity and | asked the ques-
tion again before Grant saw III to re-
ply. His manner was excessively in
solent.
"That is more than l know. We
joined after dark, and I did not meet
Delavan's officers"
"He vas vat you call maype a vol
unteer leftenant," added one of the
Germans brokenly. "At Mount Holly
we met, yah, and from there he
joined"
mot one of Delavan's men then?"
'I dink not; he vas Light Dragon.
l haf the wagon guard-the first vag-
ons-an' see him there Mine Gottl
he come pack vid his mems all right
slash, shoot--his horse rear up; that
vas the last / see already"
"The lad got away, with three 9th
ers, SIR" broke in asnew voice at my
back. "They wheeled and rode
through us, across the water We
thought the horse guard would get
them over there, but ] guess they
didn't; anyhow there was no firing,
The fellows must have turned In un'
der the bank, and rode like hell"
Satisfied as to this incident, and not
altogether regretful that the boy had
thus escaped, I held a short consulta-
tion with Duval, seeking explanation
as to why the command had been so
unceremoniously thrust upon me. A
few words only were required to make
the situation clear. Farrells ability
to injure and annoy the enemy largely
depended on his leadership not being
known. While taking part in every
engagement, he always required his
lieutenants to represent him in nego-
tiations, so that up to this time, what
ever the British might suspect, they
had no positive proof that he was
openly in arms against them. Duval,
in turn, taking advantage of my pres
ence, had shifted the responsibility to
my shoulders.
But what do you people do with
your prisoners?" l asked
"Send 'em to the Continental lines
when we can" he explained, land if
we can't then turn 'em loose. No use
paroling 'em, as they consider us
guerillas. If l was you I'd run 'em
back to the farm house across the
creek, an hold 'em there till we get
rid of this stuff. Maybe it'll take
twenty-four hours to hide it all, and
burn the wagons. Then the boys can
turn 'em loose, an there's no harm
done. I'd like to take that fellow
Grant into our lines-he's a mean
pillaging devil-but it's too big risk;
