This point is above Dawson. The announcement that the war de partment ia by no means committed to any one route in ita efforts to reach the miners in the Klondike country, has caused persons interested in the various routes to advance .the claims of their respective sectionB. ' " ; ; " The Spokane Chamber of Commerce has sent Frederick, R.' Marvin, an ener getic newspaper man of that place,' aa a representative to urge the - superior fa cilitiea of the overland route northward from Spokane.' " This is the old tele graph route laid down by the agents of the Western Union Telegraph Company years ago, when they sought- to run a telegraph line to the'.Behrine straits. Marvin haa stated to the war depart ment that the route ia still clear, that through the dense northern forests there ' ia a trail 150 feet broad affording easy passage for draft animala and the feasi bility of the route in winter ia shown by the fact that for many years it has been traversed by numerous trappers and prospectors, while the absence ' of heavy grades insures the ability of animals to carry, large loads. Secretary Alger ia asked to designate some of the army officers now at Spo kane to report upon the advantages of the route. Was a Dashing; burglar. San Francisco, Dec. 22. Charles W.

Careless Parking Than by Wear. Now a'vord of advice can be given to the woman traveler who is not so for tunate as to possess a well-trained maid Pack your own trunks and pack with care. , " More rumpled and impossible gowns are due to careless packing1 and looee adjusting than any other one thing. No amount of tight packing or of pres sure applied downward will do more than accentuate the natural folds. A single toss "of the trunk that is loosely packed means a hopeless, jumble- of bats, wraps, bodices, laces and what not. Begin at the foundation with the heaviest garments. Do not fold too much; shake skirts from the waistband and spread them, for the entire length without folding that the size of the trunk will allow. If not, spread out with great care in the folds which are naturally taken when held in an up right position, and turn over smoothly at the top. Shake wraps from the shoulders, lay them out in the folds they, naturally take, with great care smooth the sleeves an? turji ihe froats over on the back, smoothing and adjusting all trimmings and frills so us to avoid hori zontal creases. It is impossible to so fold a garment as to avoid all lines, but those taken lengthwise of the cloth readily disap pear and are also little noticed, as they take th direction of the folds formed by the garment itself. . Jackets, however, must be so man aged as to show not a crease." Loose bodices Tequire tissue paper fox the support of puffs and the like, but they can "be saved 'from much rumpling if spread out in the trunk and folded as Ii1 tie as possible. Then pack close and tight. - Hats should be packed firmly, so as not to move, and for this purpose any light article, such as handkerchiefs, mouchoir cases, or soft and pliable ob jects that will not crush or injure the f ashionafJle headgear may be .. used.
