The members of the International Geological society, who made the trip from Vancouver, B. C., to Skagway on the steamship Princess Maquinna, ex- pressed their appreciation of the kind ness of the master, Capt. Mcleod, by presenting him with a purse containing a thousand dollars in gold.
 The volume of calamities reported from Dawson concerning the trail to the Chisana might be taken as a knock. A part of the story follows: Arrivals from Chisane bring word that reports have spread through the camp of two Fairbanks men having lost their lives by drowning in the Nabesna river on the way to the strike. A third Fair banks man is said to have been shot to death accidentally. An uncon6rmed report also has spread on the trail that two Slavonians or Greeks were drown ed by being upset while on raft de- scending the upper White. None of those who have gotten in within the last few days were able to give names of the alleged victims, and no positive information is obtainable. Louis Schornborn heard the reports, and says that it was reported one man wounded a ptarmigan with a pump gun, and in chasing the bird struck at it while hold ing the barrel, the gun shot him in the breast, causing death within few minutes. A Fairbanks man is said to have attempted to wade across the Ma besna, when he sank in the deep water and never came to the surface. The story has it that one man had crossed on horseback, a second man holding to the tail of the horse, and that they had promised to send back the animal, but the third man was so anxious to hurry along he would not wait
 An Alaskan stampeder is something very much like a youthful dog that follows a ball at the end of a string held in the hands of boy, says the Nome Nugget. He only just wants the ghost of an excuse to run from one end of the territory to the other. One day there is a strike in the third division and he gets there on a gallop, only to start on the back track when some thing turns up at the place he left. Any man who boasts nowadays that be passed over a place where a strike was made afterwards proves himself che chaco, for real sourdough has passed over SO many places that if there is a square mile of territory left that he has not visited it must be blamed far away and out of the way. Packing grub and blankets on a back is the most health ful and pleasant of occupations. Living on beans and bacon for month or two straight is we'll calculated to satisfy the most Lucullian, or whatever they call it, taste The delight of getting up early in the morning and opening the door by sticking your head out of silvery frosted blanket might inspire poetry in the most prosaic of bosoms. Lighting a fire of willows without freezing one's hands tends to impart a perfect knowledge of the law of self preservation and making flap jacks without burning the bottom of the pan is an art which comes only with great practice. The joys of the beautiful open air life of the stampeder can only be expressed. They cannot be printed without ,being hauled up for sending obscene literature through the mails,

DOUGLAS NEWS DEPOT FRONT ST. DOUGLAS, ALASKA

The secretary of war has ordered thorough investigation of the charges that slavery exists in the Philippines. An investigation of the charges that slavery exists in Alaska might do some good
 Word comes from Craig of fight between caunery employees, in which a Mexican named Moreno stabbed and badly injured a fellow workman. Nor eno is held ou a charge of assault with intent to kill
 Another change has been made in the ownership ot the Wrangell Senti- mel. Paul Stanhope, who has been con- nected with the Ketchikan Miner for the past two years and who lately took charge of the Sentinel as editor, has made a deal wbefeby be becomes sole owner of it.
 Governor Strong recently visited Ketchikau, where he said to the people of that town: "For years have watch ed the growth and progress of Ketchi- kan with pleasure, but not until l walked through your streets this morn ing did realize how thoroughly you were building, not only for the present but for the future, another demonstra- tion that Alaska is land of perman- ency and stability"
 The Cook inlet cannery fleet was favored by due weather all summer but che pack will be somewhat disap- pointing. The run of salmon was not as great as in former years, aud the theory has been advanced that the eruption of Mount Katmai is respon sible. The fall of volcanic ash is be- Iieved to have driven the fish in great numbers from the Kodiak island and Cook inlet country.
 The U. s. coast and geodetic survey boat Taku, Capt Gilbert Rude, return ed on Thursday from Portage bay, says the Cordova Times. The Taku has been gathering data for the govern ment on the country between Passage canal and Turnagaiu arm. Capt. Rude states that tbe construction of a rail- road from the canal to connect with the Alaska Northern railway at mile 72, a distance of 12 miles, is perfectly feas- ible. The project would necessitate the driving from two to three miles of tunnels. This would provide a short and easy route to the Matanuska coal fields.
 People who were along the water front yesterday were shown a curiosity in the way of fish if they happened to get near the Osprey They have a moon fish lying on the stern of the boat, says the Ketchikan Mail. The fish is the 6rst one ever reported as having been caught in Alaska waters and was brought in by one of the New England boats. 1t is shaped like a founder, but instead of swimming flat it swims in a vertical position. It is silver gray with red fins and when first caught is GOV cred with a sort of short hair-like sub- stance which is a bright red. Thia soon falls off, however, and the fish is then a silver gray. The Ash weighs about fifty pounds and will be pre- served by the fish sharps aboard the boat. They say they do not know whether the Ash is good to eat or not, but are seriously contemplating making a trial of it.

COATED TONGUE
MEANS LAZY LIVER
A LAZY LIVER NEEDS A DOSE
OF DODSON'S LIVER TONE
GUARANTEED TO TAKE THE
PLACE OF CALOMEL.

When your doctor looks to see if
your tongue is coated, he is trying to
find out if your liver is working prop
erly. A few years ago doctors had
to prescribe calomel-there was moth
ing else to give.
Recently in many sections of the
country Dodson's Liver Tone has
practically taken the place of calomel
as a liver remedy. Dodson's Liver
Tone is mild, pleasant tasting and
harmless-which makes it a fine med
icine for use when your children be-
come bilious and constipated. But the
most remarkable feature of Dodson' s
Liver Tone is the fact that Greeson
Drug Co., who sells it, guarantees it
absolutely. The druggist will return
your money without argument if a
bottle fails to give entire satisfaction.
Price, so cents. We suggest that
you get a bottle today and have it
ready for the next member of your
family whose liver goes wrong.-advt
