'In view ol the fact that there is no
local civil government in the territory

thority to enforce the laws of the land,
much less to prevent crime and disorder,
and in view of the largo number of the
undesirable criminal class, who are now
flocking into our community to prey
upon the unwary and innocent pilgrims,
and in order to have someone with sulll
cient authority and in BUlIlciont numbers
to prevent disorder and blockades on the
trails leading to the hdkos hiiidmau and
Bennett, and to protect the property of
citizens of the United States, we. the
undersigned, petition that immediate
action be taken by the proper authori
ties. "And, believing this to be an extraor

of Alaska, comprising the communities

It is stated that Governor Brady has
ordered one of the government vessels,
now stationed at Sitka, to this place, to
preserve order. The cutter will arrive
in i few days.
Good prospects have been found on

to abandon the trip because of the im

The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, a
community of simple, honest, God-fearing
men and women, have prepared the
Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years,
and it is ulwa s the same, fimple, hon
est, curative medicine that has helped
to make the Shakers the healthy, long
lived people that they are. The Shak
ers never have indigestion. This is
partly owing to their simple mode of
life, partly to the wonderful properties
of Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indiges
tion is caused by the stomach glands not
supplying enough digestive juice.
Shaker Digestive Cordial supplies what's
wanting. Shaker Digestive Cordial in
vigorates the stomach and all its glands
so that after awhile they don't need
help. As evidence of the honesty of
Shaker Digestive Cordial, the formula

gers ou board, including the Urst detach
ment of troops for the Alaska relief ex
pedition, 56 horses, 50 dogs and 1150
tons of freight, the steamer Elder left
Alaska wharf for the far north, at 11 :30
o'clock Saturday night. Though the
wharf was well filled with sightseers, it
was not crowded tosutlbcation, for many
of the Elder's passenger" were from out
side of Portland, and had no friends here
to see them off".
Some 200 tons of the Elder's freight
was for the government relief expedition.
100 tons was miners' outfits, and 550
tons was general freight. All the freight
save a few outfits was aboard in the after
noon, and the wondering and objecting
dogs were taken aboard while the pas
sengers were embarking. Everything
went on smoothly and when the gung
plank was pulled up, and the big steam
er swung out into the river, sho was
given as rousing a cheer as that which
followed her on her first trip to the
northward,
