An Ideal Route to Klondike.
Some of the foreign newspapers,
Auetrlinn among them, exhibit a re
markably clear knowledge of the Klon
dike country. The following oocount
of the proper way of reaching the Klon
dike is taken from an Australian news
paper: "The real starting point for the
Klondike is Spokane. There the
traveler takes a canoe, by which he
voyages to Vancouver, B. C. At the
latter point he takes a sailing vessel di
rect to Dawson City."
The above item came from Australia,
and for several months it has been
traveling around in the humorous col
umns of American newspapers.

POLITICAL PARTIES COMBINE.
Populists, Silver Ilepuhlicans and Deiu
crats of Oregon Join Iggnes
Three state conventions met in Port
land last week, the Populist, silver
Republican and Democratic. A union
of forces or fusion is the result. All
parties united on the platform adopted
by the Populists at Friday's Bession,
and agreed to a division of the offices
by a conference committee. The plat
form as adopted reads:
United In a common cause for the sacred
purpose of preserving the principles of gov
ernment by the whole people. In fact as well
as . In name, restoring and malnta'ninff
equality, under that government, of all
classes, we, the people's democrat to and jlII-Y;r-K?puhUcpn.
parties of the state of Ore
gon, waiving all minor polntj of d,ltferncA
and uniting for the puriwse of carrying out
the great underlying principles upon which
we are all agreed, do make and present
to the people of this state the following dec
laration of principles, and to the carrying
out of which we solemnly pledge each and
every candidate upon our united ticket:
First We demand the free and unrestrict
ed coinage of silver and gold at the pres;
ent legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting
for the consent of foreign nations; and we
are unalterably opposed to the policy of the
present republican administration In de
manding the retirement of greenbacks, and
the turning over of tho money-making pow
er of the government to the national banks,
as presented by the bill drawn by the repub
lican secretary of the treasury, and Indorsed
by President McKlnley; and we especially
denounce the avowed attempt by said bill to
fasten the country Irrevocably and forever
to the single gold standard.
We demand a national money, safe and
sound, Issued by the general government
only, without the intervention of banks of
Issue, to be a full legal tender for all debts,
public and private; also a just, equitable
and efficient means of distribution direct to
the people through the lawful disbursements
of the government.
We demand that the volume of circulating
medium be speedily increased to an amount
sufficient to meet the demands of the busi
ness and population of this country, and to
restore the just level of prices of labor and
production.
We favor such legislation as will prevent
for the future the demonetization of any
kind of legal-tender money by private con
tract, t
We demand that the government, In pay
ment of Its obligations, shall ubb Its option
as to the kind of lawful money In which
they are to be paid, and we denounce the
present and preceding administrations for
surrendering this option to the holders of
government obligations.
We demand that there shall be no further
Uhuo of United States Interest bearing
bonds.
We demand that postal savings banks be
established by the government for the safe
deposit of the savings of the people and to
facilitate exchange.
We demand the election of United States
senators by direct vote of the people.
We demand the Initiative and referendum
system of law-making In Its optional form,
local, state and national, and the submis
sion by congress of all important national
questions for an advUory vote of the peo
ple, until such time as the national consti
tution shall have been amended so aa to
provide for direct legislation.
We condemn as dangerous and unjust the
surrender, In all departments of the govern
ment, to the Influence of trusts, corporations
and aggregations of wealth b'-nerally ; and
the packing of the highest courts of the land
with corporation lawyers, too ready to do
the will of their late employers, and to set
aside valid and wholesome laws passed by
the legislative departments of the states and
government, upon flimsy pretexts, at the be
hests of such Institutions.
We ore opposed to government by Injunc
tion. In state matters, we demand:
A simple and we 11 -guarded registration
law.
A more equitable mode of appointing
judges of election.
Stringent laws to regulate the operation of
fish traps, flsh wheels and all Ashing gear
In the waters within the jurisdiction of the
state.
We denounce and condemn the corrupt and
extravagant republican legislative assem
blies, and charge that the republican party,
In Hb eagerness for the spoils of office, haj
become divided into warring factions, so
that it Is incapable of government as ex
emplified by the condition existing In the of
fice of the Btate treasurer, there being at
this time more than $500,000 therein wrung
from the people by the process of taxation,
while state warrants ore stamped "Not
paid for want of funds."
We demand that all district and county of
ficers be placed upon salaries commensurate
with the duties to be performed by them.
Inasmuch as railroad and other corporate
property Is not bearing Its proportion of
taxation, we demand that such property
shall bear Ha just and equal share of the
expenses of government.

that animal oils are very destructive to
rubber products, such as bicycle tires.
It makes no difference how good the
compound may be; a little spot of ani

injures the rubber. A careful exami

they are partially of animal origin.

injure the rubber.- ' In fact, many of

Feeding on n Desert.
Tho American consul at Aden.
Arabia, gives an account in the last
volume of Consular Reports of a curi
ous herd of sheep in Somaliland, which
is a desert country. These sheep sub
sist on prickly mimosa, a kind of desert
scrub bush, seemingly the most unpal
atable of food. Their striking peculiar
ity, as described by the" oonsul, is a
large lump of pure fat growing right at
the root of the tail. A medium-sized
lump of this fat weighs about four
pounds, and it varies from one and one
half to six pounds. People who have
studied the nature and habits of these
sheep say that, like the camel, which
is able to subsist for days without food
from the strength derived from the tis
sues of his bump, this blackhead
sheep can subsist on tho strength with
out anv other sustenanoo. The prin
cipal market for the skins is New York.
It has been proven by trial that tho
sheep are able to stand a considerable
change of climate. A few ' years ago
four sheep were acclimated at tho Zoo
logical Garden at Frankfort, Germany,
where their progeny now number about
80. There are vast stretches of desert
land in Arizona and elsewhere in the
West where caotus plants grow in pro
fusion, but as yot no domesticated ani
mals have been successfully raised in
that region. It has been proposed more
than once to import camels, but these
animals are not likely to prove sorvioo
able. Tho Bomaliland sheep, however,
if accilmated in that desert region, to
gether with the plant he subsists upon,
might prove a valuable addition to our
list of domestic animals. It is no
doubt the thought of the consul that
such an experiment should be tried.
