The Noma Gold fields The first map folder or circular re specting the Klondike gold strike of 1898 was issued by the Northern Pacific railway. It is more than a coincidence that the first map folder or phamphlet of the Noma mining district comet from the same source. The present folder not only contains a good map ol sue Some district, bat is embellished with several cuts of views at Nome City and the beach where the method ol mining is clearly shown. All informa tion obtainable regarding sailing date from Seattle and Tacoma, through rates, etc., is given in this book and the public cautioned to go to the agenti of the X. P. Ky., who are supplied with diagrams of the Alaska steamers. and arrange in advance for their acoora modations rather than to put off th! very important business nntil tht reach Paget Sound. There is no donbt but what there will be a very consuler- able passenger bueinewa from the mid dle and eastern states and a very heavy business from the Pacific coast state to the Nome district next spring.

The Daughters of the American Revo lution in New York city are making f strong effort to save the famous Hamil ton tree of St. icbolas avenue, ai 142d street. The trees are the ones led of the original 13 planted by Alex ander Hamilton to commemorate tht 13 original states. It is likely that tht society will buy the lot and have it neatly fenced in. If they cannot raist enough money to buy the place tht trees will be cut down and a block will be built thereon. We American do not pay enough attention to the reser vation of such historical valuable. James Eads Howe, of St. Louis, wb has given his fortune of $1,000,000 tc the poor, says he was influenced to d this by the incident of the rich young man related in the tenth chapter of St. Mark' gospel. Mr. Howe ia a grand' son of James B. Kads, the famous engi neer who built the great Mississippi bridge at St. Louis. The Sioux and Black feet Indiani rill at parting dig their spears in tlx earth as a sign of confidence and mu tual esteem. This is the origin of thi term "burying the tomahawk." The governor of Oklahoma In hli annual report, filed in Washington, says that the time is not ripe for tht statehood of Oklahoma, and he recom mends that it would be best to wait t while. He believes that the best plat Is to join Oklahoma and the Indian ter ritory and make one state of them. Such a state, he says, wonld be a pridt and gratification to its people and fc the people of the nation.

In fact, in all th sues through which the Northern I'a eific railroad passes, ar Terr mnch in tereeted In ths rulings now being made by the interior department on the act of congra of Jane 4, 1 SWT, which al low the Northern raolflo Kailroatl Company and others to slect land in lien of land embrace in the various fore reeerrea and held by them under I patent or under unprotected claims or cua' tors' rights la lien of the lands so relinquished the railroad company and others was authorised to select from any vacant lands open to settlement. The department of the interior has held "vacant lands to settlement" to mean, if necessary, all unsurveyed lands. Therefore, settlers or squatters oa unsurveyed lands have been very un easy for some time, and many of them felt that there ia little prospect ol hold ing their claims. The land department ol the railroad company, however, asserts that it is not Its purpose to take the lands of any bona fide settler. Al we same time roe aeparuneas oi the interior .encourages the settlers to continue their settlement, and within Miree months after the acceptance of the official survey of their lands to as sert their claims thereto. The ruling of the department la that the party first Initiating the right of settlement has the prior claim. Congressman Jones, of Washington, who has just introduced a relief bill on behalf of settlers, is of the opinion that most settlers would not think of fighting the railroad company, and. therefore, the law aa it was enacted does grave injustice to settlers, as a rule. In an interview Mr. Jones said: It has been repeatedly asserted that lands upon which there are settlers have been filed on by the railroad com pany nnder the present law. To pre vent this is one of the objects of the law. I know that settlers have their remedy. That ia to fight the claim of the company and establish their prior rights. This is expensive. The set' tiers are not wealthy. The rirospect of delay is discouraging, and many prefer to abandon their settlements rather than bear the expense and delay of contest. The railroad cannot complain at these provisions. If its claim to a tract of land ia just it will prevail. Delay and expense cannot hurt it aa they do the settler. All it has to do is to in spect the land. If it finds a settler and does not think he is there bona fide it can contest his claim as any other contestant, but it should bear the bur den of such contest. These bills are introduced without any hostility to the railroad, but out of a desire to do jus tice to the settler. I believe the gov ernment should be quite lenient with men who are striving to reclaim the public domain, especially now"wheo the choice land ia taken no. If we had more owners of small tract oi land we would be better off." Senator Foster and Representative Cnshman have each given much atten tion to the claims of settlers and tlieii rights, and in all cases there is an nn qualified sentiment favorable to the pioneer and home-building squattei and settler. Gavaramaat Boapltal at Taaeaavor. President Beebe, of the Portland chamber of commerce, at its last meet ing, called attention to the bill locating a permanent general hospital at an couver, Wash., which has been intro duced in congress by Representatives Jones, of Washington. George Taylor, jr., said that the hospital was of great importance to Portland. ' Vancouver' healthful location is well known," said Mr. Taylor. "Before long, many sol (Hers will be returning from the Phil ippines, and Vancouver is the place for them." The trustee voted to request the Orbgn congressional delegation to co-operate with the Washington dele gation in behalf of the Vancouver hos pital.

Dun A Co.'s weekly review ays: Failures in 1899 were 9.393 in number, with liabilities of $123,132,. 679. The last few days of the vear added few to the number, and some millions to the known liabilities of firms and banks which failed close to the end, to that commercial defaults reached 10,879,889. Most people in basineas hare been ao occupied with their accounts and the settlements of the past year that little new business has yet been done. No new tendency in manufactures or in trading appears. and less change than was anticipated In money markets. There is nothing unsound In the business of the great Industries, but an extensive revision of prices may dis appoint extreme expectations. Two way of stimulating badness are adopt ed. The Iron Age notices "transac tions of magnitude in foundry iron, which indicate that some sellers are willing to make concessions to secure the trade of good customers." But the steel and wire company has advanced prices of wire nails, barbed and smooth wire 25 cents. Wool is strongly held, though prices of a month ago cannot be otbalned. Cotton doe not rise further because re ceipts from plantations have somewhat increased, and accounts of large stocks at many small town have attracted attention. Lot ton goods are at the highest quo tation of last year, with good demand, though cotton has declined a little. Wheat moved very sluggiHhlv, with small change in price. In six months of the crop year about 99,000,000 bush els (floor included), hare been ex ported, against 133,000,000 last year. Atlantio exports have now fallen to only 1,690,928 bushels for the week. against 5,514,840 last year, and Pacifio export were 631,223 against 614,833 last year. PACIFIC COAST TRADE. aattla Marhala.

MOST DANGEROUS PART OF THE ATLANTIC tt Lias A boat Ike Moath af the Oalf of Bt, La wrvaea-Croas Curraats, yoga, Xcabaraa, Realta amd Uthar Baaraa as Haraa Marinara, If one prong of pair ef compasses be placed about the center of the Gulf of St Lawrence, and th other de scribe a semicircle from Labrador to the southernmost point of Nova Scotia, the area circumscribed might well ba called the graveyard of the Atlantic Not only is this part of the ocean sub ject to all tha gale of the roaring for ties, but every kind of water snare that entrap luckless sailor is found la thl section of th North Atlantic Tb dirty brownish fog that It across th horizon above Belle Isle are, of course, th most treacherous snemy for th ocean liner. They conceal th other danger, and the other danger ar neither few nor far apart What with Iceberg ranging in size from a few hundred feet in circumference to mon ster nine mile in length (th exact di mension of on measured by tb New foundland superintendent of fisheries), with naked rock wall rising vertically 700 feet out of the sea, with crumbled ledge whose saw-tooth edge stand up in pinnacle or slopes down to a wblte- capped reef, aud with the submerged shoal of the Sable and Magdalen Isl and districts, the pilot bas as difficult a piece of water to nnvtgute as could be found. Th peril of Nova Scotlan water can be and have been lessened. Light house now mark the most dangerous points, and long ago stop wa put to the nefarious work of the wrecker who piled successful depredations with Sable Island aa a basis. Time was, within the memory of navigator still living, when false lights above the sands of Sable Island lured passing ship to their ruin, and when the gov ernment cruiser would come to the ships' aid not a thing would be found but the stripped hull. Though passen gers might have waded ashoro lu soma places, the dead osed to be found strip ped of all clothing aud jewels, with the ring finger cut off, and frequently the gash of a wrecker's weapon across the forehead, signs plainly telling of a con flict between the passengers struggling a shore through beating surf and the murderous men who awaited them. But all this I a thing of the past on Sable Island. Not only were wreck ers driven off, but live ttook was placed on tb long stretch of grass grown sand, so that castaways could have some meacs of subsistence until help came. Belle Isle strait I by far the most treacherous part of the North Atlantic route. The coast of iAbrador projects Into the ocean like a barrier against the flinging tides; and when the baffled current finds resistance suddenly re moved, when the narrow straits open between Newfoundland and Labrador, the waters toss in with the sidling mo tion that creates the beam sea so hate ful to all landsmen. The strength of this Inburstlng current simply cannot be calculated or counteracted by any mariner. In width the straits vary from nine to forty miles; and when the brownish fog never absent from the northern horizon spreads southward. obscuring every landmark. It 1 lui possible for any captain to keep op speed and retain his bearings. He may refer to his chart as often as be please and tell himself, "Thus and thus have we come, and here 1 the place we are." Tide and fog may have betrayed him in spite of his calculations, and he may be at least a hundred mile out of hi course. Beside the danger from fog and tide at the entrance to the Gulf of St Law rence, there Is the peril of long, sharp ledge that furrow all parts of the northern coast and are only risible by the fretted line of surface spray. No lighthouse mark these hidden reefs, and many a schooner come to grief upon them during the night or In a fog. False Cape runs out from Newfound land in great Jagged, towering rocks. torn by the driving tide, and White Isl and lie off th shore bare and lonely a tombstone. Afar, from other rocky Islands, comes the dull booming of the surf, which Indian legend of Labrador describe a the shrieking of demon over their prey. Roofless hut used as wind-break by the seal ers In the spring add to the Indescrib able loneliness of the tenantless coast; and if some fisherman' dory comes bounding over the wave Its audden disappearance behind some rocky emi nence only accentuate the ntter drear iness of the whole region.
