The Dalles Daily Cfeniele, The only Republican Daily Newspapet n Wateo County. EASTERN OFFICE tSO to S3 4 Temple Court, N. Y. City. E. KATZ, Agent. WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 1, 1897 THE TRUE STORY. The true situation on the Yukon begins to irake itself .so plainly visi ble that even those who thought all they had to do was to reach the Klondike with a scoop shovel and a couple of seamless sacks, to be able to start home with a fortune in a week, can see it. The area is limit ed, the number of rich claims having now decreased to 140, the gold proves to be of less value than claimed for it, and weights somehow Lave a fashion of showing up on civilized scales a great discrep ancy. An Alaskan pcund, or at least an Alaskan pound of gold, weighs only four ounces, or at most six. One $130,000 lot of gold weighed out at the mint less than $50,000, while another $85,000 lot shrunk, probably owing to a change of climate, to $ .1900. A man down on Sauvies island many years ago was engaged during the winter months in shooting water fowl, principally for their feathers. To an old lady who inquired how .many feathers he had he replied, 44 About a ton." She expressing sur prise at the amount, he insisted that he was correct because he had "forty flour sacks full." Mr. James McNamee returned this summer from Alaska, having spent four years there, one of them in the Klondike. lie estimates the yieUl of the Klondike mines for the past twelve months at $2,000,000, a sum that would not purchase this year's wheat crop of Sherman county, which has 700 voters. And yet these fabulous tales have set rich and poor alike crazy. At Skaguay 5,000 men are struggling to get into the snows of Alaska in midwinter, wreck ing their health, taking desperate chances of starvation, and putting up in money besides $4,000,000 to do so. They have gone as utterly mad and reckless as a herd of stampeded buffaloes, and all because a hope of sudden wealth is held out to them. With the same amount of energy and determination, these same men could earn, in civilization, double the money they will make among the glaciers of the upper Yukon. "Whom the gods would destroy they first make gold mad. The cry is now '"Skaguay," to get in, but ere long it will be "any way" to get out. The Knglish language seems to be faulty in that it is capable ot bein? construed in so many ways. An ex ample of this is before the attorney general just now, and is causing him to delve deep into tomes of musty lore to discover, if possible, the meaning of an apparently plain Eng lish sentence. The question comes up over section 22 of the new tariff law with regard to the ten per cent discriminating duty on foreign goods, coming into the United States from Canada or Mexico, and involves the question as to whether or not the same discriminating duty does not apply to all foreign goods coming in on ships not flying the American flag, from countries with which we have no special treaty concerning it. If it does sc apply, all goods coming in English vessels would have this duty to pay, and it would practically ruin the British steamship lines ply ing between this country and any others. The question arose over the words "not exempt by treaty or con vention," instead of "not exempt by treaty or acts of congress." The attorney-general and the department are trying to find out just what con gress meant. The Spanish government has called out the next class of reserves, 80,000 in number. It is said 27,000 of these will be sent to Cuba and 13,000 to the Philippines. And yet Spain, with 200,000 soldiers already sent to Cuba, insists that the revolution is at an end- Dispatches of the same date as . those bringing the news above mentioned, state that Bend eras, the Cuban general, has put 12,000 well armed men into the field, leading them from one end of the island to the other. The entire Cuban army has been strengthed .and Weyler hardly dare venture outside of Ha vana. Spain insists she will never consent to Cuba's independence, but it begins to look as though her con sent will not be needed. Gold mining is a legitimate busi ness, especially in Oregon, but it must be followed as any other busi ness. It requires good judgment, good management and lots of en ergy. Oregon is today the best pros pecting ground in the world, and Baker and Grant counties are 'the best in the state. There are possi bilities in quartz mining in that sec tion which even the residents thereof do not dream of. In a few years every canyon will have its quartz mill, and every mountain its mine, South Africa and Alaska will not compare with it. is a LOCAL DISEASE and is the result of colds and sudden climatic changes.

ELY BROTHERS. 6C Warren Street. New York,. No mystery about it. When the Shakers offered some time ago to give away a bottle of their Digestive Cordial to-any one who might call at their New York office, there was a great rush and a great many people thought they were crazy. Subsequent events proved to have been a very clever advertising transac tion, for although tbey gave away thoueands of bottles, it was in the end profitable; nearly every one that took a free bottle came back for more and paid for it with pleasure, saying tbey bad de rived better results from its use than from any other medicine they had ever used. There is nothing so uniformly success ful in the treatment of stomach troubles as the Shaker Digestive Cordial, and what is better than all, it relieves at once. .
