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.

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. .
