EARLY KLONDIKE AS A HAND OF
 PLENTY.

In another column is reproduced article by Prudence Penny about the Kondike exper- fence of Marie Wright whose angel food cake has become almost a tradition" in San Fran cisco. It appeared in the San Francisco Exam iner recently. Our attention was called to the article particularly on account of the reference to the Kondike of gold rush days as a Hand o1 plenty and the circumstances set forth to sub stantiate the reference. Our reader thought the palayer about the fruit and vegetablesa and the hard Canadian wheat rather far fetched and she threw up her handsa at the price list, which is worth setting down again:
 We paid 25 cents sack for pota-
 toes. Meat for pies was ? F cents
 per pound. Small chickens were 35 and
 40 cents and large hens never more
 than 50 cents. Flour was never more
 than ID to 90 cents sack And we
 sold three slices of ham for quarter
 Remember We are reading about the Klondike during the gold rush. the Klondike of 1S97-9st
 Just in fear that some of the old San Fran CISCO klondlkers have not already told Prudence Penny some things, would respectfully inform her that there many people living here abouts who were in the Klondike in the days when the seif-styled Kitchen soubrette" claims to have been catering to the appetites of hungry sour-doughs, who remember something about the prices that obtained in that Hand of plenty" They remember when the rush of Outside stuff made competition keen that signs were dis played over boxes of apples reading "oNLY $1 EACH" They recall paying $1 each for eggs And potatoes at 25 cents sack and flour at 75 cents, A lot of those potatoes and flour in the early part of the summer of 1898 cost 75 cents a pound for transportation from skagway to Dawson
 There was wheat raised in the Klondike in those days. hard Canadian, or otherwise
 Really, Marie Wright must have been talking about some other country and Prudence must have made mistake.
 We suggest that Prudence Penny look over the files of her Examiner of thirty years ago and read some of the articles about Klondike con ditons that were written by that papers regular klondike correspondents, Joaquin Miller and Edward J. Lvernash.

ELECTION BETTING.

The average betting odds of three or four to one on Hoover would indicate that there are more people in the United States with money to bet that believe MT. Hoover will win than believe that Gov Smith will win Of course that is Indication of the drift of sentiment, but it is not by many infallble proof of what will be the result. In 1884 the odds were Blaine to defeat Cleveland and in 1888 they Cleveland to beat Harrison In both the people voted the other way For most of the time in October 1916 the odds were on Hughes to win over Wilson, but Wilson won with a plurality of the popular vote of nearly GOO 900.
 Newspaper accounts indicate that election betting continues to be unusually light
