YUKON MINING LAWS
 MUST REMAIN THE SAME

Ottawa, Jan. 29--Dr. Alfred Thompson, member of parliament for Yukon, when seen in rgeard to a telegraphic query sent recently by the Dawson News regarding the proposed Dominion Mines Act, said:
 You can say to the Dawson News that so far there is no Offic- ial announcement tha such a bill will be introduced this sesion. I hay no objection to a Dominion mining code, but if one is introduced the placer laws of Yukon must be in- cOrporated in it as they are at pres ent under the Yukon Act. The laws of the Yukon, in so far as placer mining is concerred, must remain as they are. I understand the de- tails of the proposed bill are not yet worked out.

He says: T was speaking with Traffic Man ager Dempsey, of the White Pass 6 Yukon, and he told me that he is at work upon changes in the classification of the tariff and rates, and that the people of Dawson soon will be advised of the result. From what he outlined to me as to the nature of the changes, it seems that the people of Yukon are to receive the consideration that is usual in dealing with any reputable business house. MT. Dempsey having full charge of this traffic problem, it certainly will be a surprise to me if he does not make good"

ROCKEFELLER DONATES
SI,OOO,OOO FOR RESEARCH

New York, April lie Ohm d. Rookie
felIer has added $1,000, 900 to the gen
eral endowment fund for the Rockefel-
Ter Institute for Medical Research, to
be devoted to the study of animal dis
eases and James J. Hill has pledged
$4,000 to be devoted specifically to the
study of hog cholera
The Rockefeller institute" the an
nouncement reads, has heretofore
confined its Investigations to the study
of fundamental problems of biological
science and to Investigations in the
field of human diseases. Animal dis
eases are as important not only be-
cause of their economic significance,
but because of their close relationship
to human diseases. The loss to the
country entailed by animal diseases is
to be calculated not only in terms of
animals destroyed, but with reference
to the discouragiHg effects on enter
prise in animal husbandry which such
as the recent epidemic of hog cholera
always exert. The Rockefeller insti-
tute has accordingly determined to ex-
tend its work into this field of re-
search"

Grief For Landlords
Adventures Of a Crouch

the bunch viii insist that ne is having a

feel that you have done yourself proud.

other men, They assume that he IS

and they don't feel right until they have
roasted him in all the languages at their
command, and the larger the audience the
better they like it.
My wife is one of the best cooks IN
the United States. When we were keep
ing house like other people she had
great reputation. People used to fish
around for weeks together to be invited
to our house for dinner, and when they
had been fed they loaded her down with
compliments and said she ought to open
a cooking school. Every once in a while
she turns in and presides over the cook
cry in this hotel kitchen, and two days
of it puts her in such shape that I have
to summon the family alienist. She
cooks in a hotel as we'll as she ever did
in a uncovered cottage, but she has
to listen to rOasts every time a dish goes
to the dining room.
''When a man goes to hotel he finds
everything wrong from the start. If the
rooms are not too cold they are too hot,
and the beds creak, and the chairs are
uncomfortable, and the ice water IS
warm, and the toothpicks are made of
the wrong kind of wood, and the porter
is sassy. And yet there are blamed
