 The dogs are in fine form, and shove their me.tle just before leav in. the barracks square by in dul5inT in a delightfully."- informal farewell family miXup, in which one worthy nipped the ear off anoth CT of his yoke-fellows, thereby Urcc;pitating an impromptu mala- ute vocal effort not on the bill. The fellow taking the ear swallowed it, ticklers and all.
 The mushers intervened. A slash with the whipe and each tug stre.cl.er was in place, and the to- bogzars slid away along the beaten hjshwar of the street, whence on the trail to Twelvemile, when the plunge will be made from the Yu- kou Gold power station into the trackless wilderness. From that point they will bear nOrtheasterly uu'u Seely pass is reached, thence nlunge through the gap in the Rockies, and descend the Peel thence to McPherson.

PANAMA SLIDES OVER, BELIEF

Panama, c. Z., Jan. 15 - The slides in Gaillard cut, which have bee n menacing navigation, have been overcome. Today the channel is in better shape than it ever has been before.
 For a minimum width of 1SO feet it is 35 feet deep, and it is at least 30 feet deep clear across the origi- nal prism, 300 feet wide.
 The slides at Cucaracha and Gull ebra, which have bulged forward their mass, have been dredged away until they look flat and impotent.
 Barring some unforseenl develop mont, such as a new break in a wholly unexpected place or the cl umbling of the great cliffs of breccia at Gold Hill or Contractors hill, the interruptions of traffic by the slides are done.

 NOT BELIEVED

Valdez Jan. 15-The d ath i'll Seattle late Friday afternoon. of Samuel Blum, one of the best known Alaskans, struck this city with 3 stunning blow. The suicide theory is untenable. MT. Blum had no financial difficulties, his losses in the recent fire was fully coH red by insurance and he was wealthy man.
 J. NJ. Lathrcp wired to the Pros ,pector here from Seattle Saturday that he was thp last man with MT. Blum, culy few minutes before he fell from the window of his office in thr Pacific Block. He delmes that there were no signs of suicide as his many fri nds would have de- tected this state. Mir. Lathrop is firm in the belief that Blum's d Gth was purely accidental.
 MT. Blum felt keenly the loss of his beautiful store D re in the re- cent fire. MT. Lathrop cables that roasons rather than fin ancial concerned MT. Blum over his loss here.
 For the past few days in s S'attle MT. Blum had been suffering from with slight heart trouble at- tacks and had exp, rienced many spells.
 It is the firm belief in Seattle by fri Ids of the dead man, that he was suddenly seized with sharp attack cf asthma, went to the win dow t3 cure air, raised the win dow and fell cut.

What New York Papers Are Saying

: Times" characterizes as "most inoppor-
tune"
Elihu Roots message to the Socialist
revolutionists of new Russia is accepted
by the New York newspapers as perfect
exposition Of what American democracy
means, what it intends and what it de-
sires. "The Times" says:
Elihu Roots speech TO the Council OF Mn
isters was a speech every word of which was
wisely chosen. II must have gone iar toward
disarmng whatever there is of causeless dis
trust OF America. Had the story been IN
dustriously spread in Russia that America
was a republic only in name, in reality
bourgeois tyranny. Mr.. Root began by lden-
tfying himself as the representative OF
democratic republic. whose President was
chosen by 100000 votes, freely cast ana
fairly counted, pursuant to law, by UNIVERSAL
equal, direct and secret suffrage
1.-The Evening Post" is scarcely less COM
plimentary:
Mr.. Root was speaking in capital where
anti-American demonstrations had been
staged on the ground that America, as the
most "capitalstic" of all modern nations was
inevitably inimical TO the interests OF Rus
sia's social democracy.
Mr. Root met the situation wisely and man
fully He did not essay the role of pedagogue
Neither did he press the apologetc tone too
heavily.
To THE Sun" Mr.. Root is the persona
fcation of democracy. "The Sun" says:
Among the notable utterances of statesmen
since autocracy began its tremendous final
attack on popular rights none has attained q
higher plane of sincerity, of frankness, or OF
effective composition than Mr.. Root main
