distress was such that a more severe
state of things, especially in the large

ity that all surplus stocks of grain
would be exhausted and said that
very radical measures were needed
to enable the people to hold out un-

as saying, discovered that among all

feeling evinced is not one Of that en-
durance for which we had hoped.
This is human nature but it is highly
deplorable and may have most serious
results.
1--WE have not perceived in the
towns that stern supervision which is
absolutely necessary in the distribu-
ton of food stuffs. Bread tickets
have been illegally used on such =
shocking scale that our entire re-
serves were exhausted. So when
potatoes failed and bread was order

able. Flour has been similarly re-
duccd owing to similar irregularities

DR.. Michaelis concluded by urging
! the utmost severity to meet the short
comings where there is yet time.

clared that the "junkers" are to

A Deering correspondent writes: "An outfit came here last fall and it is operating on the river. They are working their men ten hours for three dollars. The men came from Nome as none of our boys will work for them. Beckstead and Cordovado is the name of the firm here. A lawyer in Nome made up contract for their employees to sign which purports to make them partners. thus enabling them to work as long and as cheap as they please. The contract says that when $20,000 or more is taken out they are to re- ceive one per cent in addition to their wages. It is pure evasion of the law, and we feel satisfied it would not hold water in any court. But who is to bring them before the court?" This outfit is not unknown in Nome where under the soubriquet of Y. the Slavic Mining Go. they worked uncertain hours last winter on or near the Bessie and some of the partners had also the privilege which doesn't seem to have been in the contract, of getting a can tied to their tail when they didn't get fast enough wiggle on themselves.

donment of all administration measures, possibly in rebuke of the administrations efforts which are daily becoming more strenuous to goad the reluctant members to get down to work. The members are chafing at reports given out to the newspapers that the administration had everything working smoothly in Congress and that the program would surely receive full and prompt attention. Republican papers jeer the subserviency of the democrats and these are having effect upon the members. The complaint is heard today that if the Administration would keep it's hands off work would make more progress.
