V e i rurTlay I The Home Dramatic Co. are exerting every effort to make the coming play the best they have ever produced. If it is as good as several they have given in the past they deserve a full house. The company is practicing assiduously nearly every evening and are assisted by Prof. Wm. Rasmus, a finished actor, who will take an important role. The part of "The Unknown," is a mystery carried even to the published show bills. He is a pick-up, rejoicing in the nam de plume of "Lonsdale-Hampshire," and even the inquisitive and audacious reporter was unable to learn' his identity. Of the play itself, nothing . too commendable can be said. It is a standard drama which cannot fail to interest, having a central plot, well sustained to the end. There are thrilling climaxes, powerful ragedy, irresistible comedy, love, bate, adventure, bravery, villainy and friend- yship in the "Confederate Spy" which no one Bnouia law to witness.

When the Regulator lethe dock this morning she had on yboard five tons of hams, bacon and lard marked "A. A. Bonney, Juneau, Alaska." - This shipment will taken on boartTl the cars at PortlaruKand go to Tacoma, and from there by . ocean steamer to Alaska. W-rrfle the shipment is an ex periment, there is every reason to sup pose it will be profitable. Juneau is the most important commercial city in' Alaeka. Practically he' great basin of , the Yukon is reacheiby but one route ' that via Juneaa-'EUld the Chilkoot pass a route taken 'by fully ninety-five per cent, of the gold-seekers of the vast in terior. Juneau is the outfitting point, the head of regular steamboat naviga tion during the winter ' and spring months. ' The town . Is well supplied with hotels and restaurants, where meals are furnished for 25 cents upward. Juneau is the main supply point for the interior. Here outfits are purchased for the lone journey of 700 miles to Forty Mile, and the principal supplies are flour, bacon, beans, sugar, tea, ham,, canned meats, rice, dried fruits and coffee. It is a trip calling for Bupreme hardihood. It is made over snow fields, icy and steep mountains, frozen lakes and rivers. Wood is Bcarce and storma come suddenly and rage with fury. Wherever possible hemlock boughs are laid on the enow to a depth of a foot for beds. At a place called Sheep camp is a climb to be made of 8,500 feet, and for 600 feet of it every etep must be cut in the ice, so steep that a person with a ipack on his back must constantly bend 'forward to maintain bis equilibrium. . Notwithstanding the hardships, suf fering and misery attendant upon reach ing the Yukon, there are thousands of gold-seekera who annually make the trip. It is probable that some of the meat which left The Dalles this morning will be taken in packs by these men, but the town of Juneau will in allffkelihood consume the bulk of iMr. A. A. Bonney Ielt yesterday" for Juneau, Alaska, and if theyfnarket is satisfactory further 8 hi pm ertfs will be made regu larly. Previously the Columbia Pack- ing Company has shipped their meats to San Francisco, every steamer leaving Portland for San Francisco during the month of March, carrying some of their meats and lard.
