Better Keep Them Up.

Yesterday Hon. James NJ. Wilson,
Mayor. called a meeting Of the City
Council, and an Ordinance was
passed requiring all persons to keep
their dogs off the streets and com.
mons, and Public Square and pub.
lie places in the city.
The Council declared the existance
OF an emergency. and this law goes
into effect to-day. This is a good
step, and we congratulate the City
Officials in this matter. Only few
days ago there was dog running
large with hydrophobia, and bit
several dogs that were valuable
hunting dogs, dogs that their own.
ers would ask handsome sums for.
The head of this dog was sent to
Bowling Green to be examined by
experts, and il was found to be ef'
lected with hydrophobia. Every
one should be very careful. and
stear clear of all dogs. for a person
bitten by dogs so effected is sure
death.

Dawson News, Jan. 6: With ad- vices for the Stefansson expedition and with mail for the police, trad CTS and others at Fort McPherson and Herschel island and Royal North west Mounted Police party got away this morning on the Iuush of hun dreds of miles through the Arctic wilderness to McPhersOu. Sergeant Dempster, famous as the musuer who recovered the bodies of the lost Fitzgerald party, is at the head of this expedition. He will conduct the party to McPherson, ard there take separate Indian guide for Ram part House, where he will establish a customs and bodice post.
 Corporal Hooking who goes with Sergeant Dempster, will bring back the party from McPherson after eX- changing mail there with the police patrol from HerscheI. Four Indians accompany Dempster and Rocking from Dawson.
 Major Noodle, commander of the police for Yukon, states that if the party cannot find dogs at McPher- son, Hooking and the Indians from Dawson may return via Rampant House. The expedition should be back here about March 15.
 Major Noodle, Commissioner Black and quite a number of others were at the barracks to see the boys de- part this morning. The party got a way at 10:2O o'clock. A double team of horses drew a heavy sleigh, la den with supplies which will be transferred to the tOboggans on the Twelve-mile after traveiiUg a day or two from Dawson. The team will then turn back, and the dogs will haul the supplies the remainder of the distance on the sleighs Four dog teams with five dogs to the team are being used. Four men will be engaged driving, while two are breaking trail
 Sergeant Dempsey is in fine condi ton for the trip. He has just re turned from the international bOun- dary on the White river, where he went last fall to open the first po- lice post in that remote region, near the Chisaua gold fields. In getting supplies up the White he and oth- CT boys of the force found it uccez- sary to wade for days through deep snow, and often in the cold water of the streams, frequently to their waists. Although exposed to many hardships this fall the men are in good form, and Dempsey left today fit as a fiddle, and s-riding with light moccasins, sweater and toQue.
