Practically all the stampeders

Practically all the stampeders who went into the Chisana country from Dawson, White Horse and Fairbanks are returning, if they do return, via Mccarthy and Cordova. On Saturday nights train there was party of II old sourdoughs from Dawson and the interior country. They state that they had a hard
 time during three weeks to get to
 the diggings with horses but that it was easy to come out without horses,
 in few days.
 Although the interior papers in-
 sist that the best way to get to the
 diggings is from Dawson or White
 Horse, the published experiences of
 some of the mushers does not seem to bear out the claims. Often how
 ever, there is a knock for the Me-
 Carthy route, even after the pros pector has had a quick and unevent- full trip over that route. The Skag- way Alaskan illustrates the point in referring to the arrival at that place on September l of Edward P. Dillon. It says:
 "Mr. Dillon states that he is glad to be home once more, and that the trip as he made it was one of the
 toughest he has ever made. On July 2S, Mir. Dillon left Dawson for the new gold strike, going in over the Glacier Creek government road as far as the Sixtymile, which stream
 he followed until he came to the International Boundary line, and then took due course south, fol- lowing the boundary, until he came to the Snag. Following to the divide, he crossed over to Beaver creek, and keeping we'll up on the side of the hill, crossed over to the
 new district, arriving on the James
 and Taylor claims the 17th of August.
 He remained two days at the diggings, looking about for a piece
 of ground which was not already located, and possibility of securing some grub. Knowing that he had
 to get out of the country, or run the
 risk of starving, he hit the trail on the 18th day of August, and arrived at Cordova over the Scolai pass route
 on the 27th of the month.
 Tn speaking of his trip out, Mr. Dillon said that the Skolai Glacier was joke" as compared to some
 of the trail via the so-called Cor dove Mccarthy route. The Pass"
 he stated, was almost perpendicular and without load, was almost inn possible to negotiate. In his opin ion, the Skolai Pass route is now closed for the balance of this sea- son and any person desiring to go into the Chisana country, had better take a little longer trail and go in over one of the three routes from the Yukon, in preference to making an attempt to go via Cordova and the Skolai Pass

CONVERTIBLE ALASKAN PRACTICE

The department of justice at Washington must consider that the people of Alaska bad lot It that whenever there has been chance of candidate from the territory securing appointment charges would immediately be filed against him. It would be matter of whether there foundation for the allegations made the intent being to prejudice the attorney general against candidate and hold up appointment And reliance placed upon the practice not to dvulge the of the who may have ruthlessly attacked the character of innocent
 Another instance of this kind has just to light thorugh letter received from congressman by prominent applicant for the marshashp for this division The letter written before appointment made and stated that going the attorney generals office in behalf of the candidate written he had been informed that charges had been preferred against his friend The would not be dvuged but the department did finally state the nature of the charges They the effect that the candidate had been unaw living with in Alaska that he backed for office by aloonkeeper who furnished him the money make his fight and that when he left for Washington he turned the female the saloonkeeper.
 Those who familarly acquainted with the young referred to know that there absolutely foundation for such report He has lived Cordova and Valdez and the first ntmaton heard of such relationship charged from Washington sent there undoubtedly either by personal from Alaska by friend of another cand date who sought destroy the prestige of leading candidate As saoonkeeper avorng his candidacy the young knowledge that the favor of has the way exered in behalf of his candidacy

Captain Telford, senior officer of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police at Dawson during the absence of Major Noodle, who is now visiting White Horse, has received word by wire from the major to the effect that all stampeders attempting to ascend the White river or enter the upper White country en route to the new strike or vicinity without out fits. will be stopped by the police.
 Detachments are to be opened by the police at points along the White. Major Noodle is at White Horse to receive ten new men,. Old-timers ex- perienced in, the force will be sent up the White. The other routes also will be watched. Men without suffi- cient supplies and equipment for a reasonable time in the country will be turned back at the last supply stations. Money, says the captain, will not do in the diggings without supplies, because there is nothing in the camp as yet to sell. All routes will be watched by the police.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-Seems as
IL 1t would be a fine thing for the
stage IL more preachers would
write plays.
Maybe not-maybe only once in
a cycle of preachers Is there one
who could write such a play as

pen of Geo. A. Birmingham.
Into the little Irish village of
Ballymoy comes an American tour
list with a taste for jokes. The
place is sleepy, and he decides to
stir 1t up. He inquiries for the
statue of General John Regain.
There Is no statue, because
there never was any General John
Regan. But there Is a clever VIII

portunity to bring renown and cur
rency to Ballymoy. The doctor
knows quite well that the American
is kidding" But he doesn't say
SO. He enlists the landlord of the

pleasant and, after smoky Chicago,
the clear, brilliant sunshine was

There was a big package of mail
for Dick and as soon as we had dis

boys and the maids he seated him
self by window and rapidly ran
over it. He picked out one letter
quickly and after reading it called
me from the other room where l
had been laying out the toilet ar
ticles and trying to get things in
shape.
"Oh, Madge, Here is something
that will interest you.
Morton writes: L am glad you
will be able to buy some stock in
our company next month. While
there is none for sale to outsiders,
you know we are always glad to

wanted sixty-five shares of stock,
that he was very glad you were
