ALASKAN SITUATION
A CONSERVATIVE OPINION
PRESENT CONDITIONS.
OF
The Early Kiinh of Eager flnldaeekers
Having Conceited the Faises, Other
Itoutes Will Have to Be Opened.
Special Correspondence.
Although the rush to Alaska may be
said to have only Just begun, a condi
- i , , . ,1 . i
tion of affairs has already developed in
' . I
Dyea and Skagway which promises to
. disappoint the
expectations of thou-
sands of eager gold seekers.
The trails ,
across the Chilkoot and White passes
are practically impassable because 'of
the frequent and severe storms, and
will not be in good condition until
about the first of April. The result is.
that thousands of men and thousands
of tons of supplies and mining . outfits
art crowded together on this side of
the summit and have already reached
such number and quantity as to create
a idockade. ,. , , . .
It has been generally understood
that it was foolish to go up to that
country earlier than March with the
expectation of crossing the passes, and
that one who did so would simply sub
ject himself to a long wait, to needless
hardships and possible sickness while
consuming supplies which should be
kopt for service in the gold fields. Not
withstanding this fact, travel begun in
January and has oontinued through
February, an average of a steamer a

Dyea and Skagway,
Those who took
this early start did so because they
feared a blockade and were anxious to
t ,... ti, unmmif rmnt i in n.;i '
at the lakes for the opening of the river
to navigation. The blockade they
hoped to escape has come upon them
and thev are not over the summit.
Many have spent a month of hardship
and toil and are worBO off because of
It than are the newest arrivals
Thero are not Uibb than 30,000 people
in Dvea and Hknirway encamned alonu 1
the trails as far as the weather condi
tions have permitted them to advance,
only a few miles at tho most. The
quantity of supplies, on tilts, boats, ma
chinery, etc., averages not loss than a
ton to each man. This average will
be kept up during the month of March, ,
and by the first of April, when the
work of getting over the summit will ,
begin in earnest, a moderate estimate,
of tho number of men and quantity of
freight that will be assembled there is ,
60,000 persons and 60,000 tons of
freight.
The only thing that has been acoom
plifhed on tho Skagway trail to make
it more passable than it was last sum
mer lias been the building of some
small bridges, and some improvements
on the road leading out from Skagway.
There has been a tramway project there
but no progress has been made with it. i
The indications are that the Skagw: .
trail will not bo materially better than '
it was last summer, when it was block-1
arieil and ronoerod practically nmias
sable by 8,000 or 4,000 people and their
outfits. Of umirse, as long as the snow
lasts in the spring tho trail will bo a
better one than when the traveler has

MRS. PINKIIAM'S STANDING

Women sufferlug from any form of
female weulcnoss are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. l'iukhura, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are re
ceived, opened, road, and answered by
women only. A woman can freely
talk of her private Illness to a woman.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. rinltham and
the women of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
of experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
baa gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing
In return except your good will, and
her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very
foolish if she does not take advantage)
of this generous offer of assistance.

tion, and the possibilities are that they
will not be before the first of April.
When in complete operation, their com
bined capacity will not exceed 400 tons
I per day. Assuming that hv the use
! of pack animals 100 tons per day could
i be taken over the White pass from
Skagway, this leaves the total capacity
of all facilities provided for both passes
at 500 tons per lnv. This means 100
days for transporting 60,000 tons that
will he accumulated there by the first
of April. In othor words, accumula
tions could not be cleared away before
the middle of June. The probabilities
are, however, that during the mouths
of April and May an equal quantity of
new freight would demand attention.
In this calculation no allowance is
made for the freight which could he
taken on sleds by individuals and by
the aid of doge. This would be in
considerable. In fact, with such a
mass of humanity and of goods, it
would be almost impossible for freight
to he moved at all on tliose narrow
portions of the trail where the right ol
way would be tho subject ol diBpute
and contention. If people interfered

One who intends to go to Alaska may
well stop and consider what his chances
are likely to be in such a mob, and
' whether he would not do better to seek
I some other route or some othor objec-
tive point than tne luoiwiKe legion,
Of oourso, transportation facilities from
the coust ports to Alaska have been
provided for Dyea ami Skagway, but
doubtless as soon as this blockade so
develops that intending gold hunters
demand to be taken somewhere else,
steamers will leave the Dyea and Skag
way routes ami seek other ports, such
as C'ojiper river and Cook's inlet. At
these places thero is room for all. No
narrow canyon trail con lines the gold
hunter to a particular route, but there
is opportunity to spread out over a
wide expanse of country, now practic
ally unknown, hut reported to lie rich
in gold. Theie are said to be low
passes through thoy mountains from
both Copper river and Cook's inlet,
leading over to the Tanana and to the
head waters of Hired creek, hy which
the now promising gold fields on the
American side of the linn may du more
easily reached than by the route across
the Chilltoot pass and down tde hikes
and rivers. The government is now
fitting out an expedition for Coppor
river. Undoubtedly those routes will
1,0 l,onud the present season by
prospectors even should not the great
stream of travel bo turned in that direc
tion. There aro already indications of a
desire on the part of gold hunters to
abandon their idea of going to Dyea
and Skagway, and to stike out for the
Coppor river and Cook's inlet. Be
yond doubt this tendency will rapidly
increase as the crowded condition of
the passes becomes bettor known. At
present the only facilities for reaching
Copper river and Cook's inlet is tho
United States mail boat operated by
the Pacific Coast Steam Whaling Com
pany from Han Francisco, the two
small steamers now on the route from
Portland to Copper river, and the small
steamer running from Port Townsend
to Copper river. These steamers are
already inadequate to meet tho demand
and doubtless more will soon be put
on the route.
Attention has also been turned in the
direction of the route hy Fort Wrangel
and Stickeen river, Telegraph creek
and Teslin lake, but as yet, facilities
have not been provided. Several
small river steamers are being con
structed for the Stickeen river, to ply
between Fort Wrangel and Telegraph
creek, which is the point of disembark
ation for the overland journey of the
150 miles to Lake Teslin. On this
stretch of 150 miles it is proposed by a
Canadian company to construct a rail
road tho present year under a special
grunt from the Dominion parliament of
20,000 acres of land per mile, and
tho time set for its completion is the
first of September. It is thus seen
that, for this season nt least, only such
travel can go over the Stickeen route
as can be handled by pack animals,
and this, of course, cannot bo very ex
tensive. Possibly sevoral thousand
people will attempt this route, with
the probability that a largo portion of
them will make a failure of their

ADMIRAL JOUETT'S assertion that the American monitor Is the highest and most satisfactory type of mnrlne titiht
Ing machine, is being generally accepted without question by students in the science of naval warfare. The monitor
Is a form of craft little understood or appreciated until lately even by experienced sea-going men. It ciinie into ex
istence in crude shape during the civil war, and, thanks to the genius of John Kricsson, did such good service that the United
States naval authorities decided to improve and perpetuate this peculiar styleof vessel. From the "cheese-box ona raft,' which
destroyed the mighty Merrimae, hi l.SdL', has sprung a fleet of powerful warships, the merit of which him been overlooked in
the more imposing grandeur and overtowering size snd armament of monster battle-ships like the Indiana and Iowa. The
monitor of 18'JS bears little resemblance even in exterior design, to its progenitor or 1W12, though both arc constructed on the
one vital principle of a low free-hoard and as small an amount of obstruction on deck as possible. The monitor of lHii.'I was
a shallow-water boat, a craft handy for lighting in rivers and bays, but of little use on the ocean. The new monitor in an
eltlcient, seaworthy ship of the first class, capable of making long voyages through rough water In safety. It Is the testi
mony of one of the best olllcers in the navy, who took one of the new monitors around ('.ape Ilutterns in the teeth of a wild
gale," that he never trod the deck of a stouter, safer, or more comfortable boat.
Uncle Sam Is now the possessor of six first-class monitors of the double-turret pattern. They are the Amphltrite, Minn
tonomah, Mnnadnock, Monterey, Puritan, and Terror. Hy naval rating these, as well as the thirteen old-style single-turret
monitors, still carried on tho list, are classed as coast-defense vessels, but this is a matter of nomenclature only. In all
tl,e requisites of open sea lighting the new monitors are battle ships of the highest grade. The Puritan, the largest of the
Heet, is a ship of ll.uOO tons, and H.'OO horse power. Her armament consists of four twelve-Inch breech-loading ritles and two
four-inch rapid-lire cannon in the main battery; the secondary battery is made up of six six-pounder, rapid-lire guns, four
Ratlings, and two 37-millimeter Hotchkiss rifled cannon. The other boats In the Heet compare favorably with the Puritan in
size and lighting force. The monitors are not built for speed, but they make long trips at a uniform log of from eleven
and a half to fourteen knots au hour. '
A POPULAR HOUSE. ,
Pinna of the One Bhown Here Hove
Keen Used 107 Time.
The villa that Is pictured here might
well be called a "popular house," for
the records of the architects show that
the plans have boon purchased nnd the
house erected from them. not fewer
i'.;nsrKCTivE.
than one hundred and sixty-seven
limes. Tho demand for it has come
from all parts of the country, and
H lias also been erected in other lands.
One might find its facsimile In the
utternio.st parts of the earth. It will
be seen that the house Is nu attractive
one, but Its success Is not due to this
part alone. Many houses nre Just as
pretty ami as homo-like In design, but
Iinve nothing like such a record for du
plication. Those who have purchased
the plan give us the reason for their
choice that It is an unusually large and
roomy house for its cost. A careful
examination of the plaus will show
that every inch of spare has boon made
available. In especial, there nre many
lod chambers, mid all are well located
for light, ventlhillon and comfort.
If a man has plenty of money to ex
pend In the erection of a villa house, he
can afford to Indulge his Individual
taste, lie can make his house reflect
his own personal whims and prefer
ences. Hut when his means are limited
he naturally seeks most for his money,
and to him It Is tho besit Indorsement
of the accompanying plan that It has
found acceptance many as one hun
dred and sixty-seven times. As long as
It Is different from his nelghltor's
house, and Is Individual In Its surround
ings, It makes no difference to him If
It has been erootod In ninny other
cities or towns. Hut think what one
hundred and sixty-seven houses mean.
Hrought nil together, they would make
not a hanilet, but quite a village. It Is
certainly the banner record for any set
of plans. It proves that human nature

A Dynamo on a Bicycle.
A clever scheme In the way of an elec
tric lamp for bicycles has boon de
signed by a Syracuse locksmith named
F. C. H rower. Inside an ordinary bi
cycle lamp he has placed a tiny Incan
descent lamp of one-half candle-power.
The lens In the lamp magnifies this to
five candle-power, giving a light of In
tense brilliancy.
The current for the lamp is furnished
by a small dynamo, which Is fastened
to the rear forks by means of a clamp.
The power for the dynamo Is generated
by n small rubber wheel fastened nt
the bottom of the dynamo, aud which
plays against the rear tire. The wires
conveying the current to the lamp we
strung through the tubing. A current
of four volts onu be generated when the
wheel Is fairly lu motion. In tho day
time the power generated for the lamp
Is switched off and used to ring a small
bell. Simply pressing a button lu the
handle bar sets up a great whir nnd
wlilis. Mr. Hrower has several im
provements lu view, ami when these
nre carried out the lamp will be placed

Nevada, with Its 43,000 white Inhnbl

age among its Indians, nil of which
can be traced to the baneful effects of
the snlernttis biscuit. When Lo discov

her buck's civilized appetite nnd stuffed
him full of hot biscuit as he lay In his

was a delicacy.
The result Is that ulne-tenths of the
brave Tlutes who are living on Ne
