So much was said about the shipping
of a team of goats from Albany to Alaska
by A. Becker, that it will be Interesting
to know what became of them. 15. F.
Tliaver, who recently returned from
Alaska, says that Mr. Decker told the
goats to a man who took them to Ska
guny.' Ho turned the goats out on the
mountain side there, and they wandered
back away fiom the town in search of
food. One unlucky day some hunters
came along and, mistaking the goats for
wihl game, shot and killed nearly eveiy
one of them.
W. 11. Hurd, owner of the Tempest
mine, located in Greenhorn district,
Grant county, says there is an average
of six feet of mow in that vicinity, and
for twenty-six miles he had to travel on
snow shoes in coming out. On the main
roads, sleighing was excellent, but out
side of the main avenues oi travel the
only means of transportation was by the
snowshoe route. The Tempest mine is
now a paying proposition. Four men
are at work, and the vein of ore has ex
panded from four to seven feet in width.
A tunnel has been run 100 feet below
the turfuce, a distance of 300 feet, and a

amounting in all to $52.05. The ore is

Albert Davis Heard From.
A letter from Albert Davis, son of
Irs. Davis of this city, was received
the 18th inst. It bears the date of I
awson uity, ..T., Jan. 20tii, eo
tliat it came from that place in less than
month. It will be remembered that a
report was current that Davis and Xeil
Boyer were drowned in the White Horse
rapids, and the receiving of this letter
proves how groundless are most of such
ich
reports.
He says they arrived in Dawson City
on September 25th, and immediately on
their arrival Boyer went to work for $15 '
per day. Their trip in was comparative
ly easy, and they made, on an average,
about five miles a day on the river.
They have located claims on Henderson
creek, and have a very good prospect.
However, until the snow melts they
will be unable to do much
towards j
(
wdrking the claims.
The daylight lasts for iibout three
hours, while they have about an equal
space of twilight. According to tins
they can work about six hours per day
without lights, and owing to the fact
j that candles tell for 40 per box, this is
j about all the time they get In, lor work
men cannot afl'ord' to burn candles at
this rate. Wanes are from'$l to $1.25
per hour for common laborers.
He quotes a few Dawson prices, which
are a& follows : Meals $3.50; pies $1.50
each; sandwiches 75 cents; flbur $00
per sack; while groceries run from $1 to
$2 50 per pound.
The thermometer has been down to 03
below, but he said at tiie time of writ
ing .it was pleasant, being only 35 below.
They spend much of their time in pros
pecting, and seem to have much faith in
the mines.
Tin: Chkoxicm: hopes that they both
will be rewarded richly for their grit
and determination, and that they will
bring back at least a nan el of nuggets.

,all had u most .enjoyable time.
I The exercises were opened by a piano

j Prof. Lundell delighted everyone with
his beautiful singing, lie was accom
J pauied by Miss Johanncson on the plan

inadequate to seat the large number of
guests and parents of the school ehil-
open
who wished to attend the eser-fl
mses held in honor of Washington's
iirthdav vesterdav afternoon.
j The program from beginning to end
was re ndered in a manner that reflect
ed great credit on the children and glad
llened the hearts of the parents as they
feaw the little ones doing so well.
The
Tl
exercises were opened by the
'chorus "Welcome, Festal Morn," after
which the entire school entered with
spirit into the flag salute. The program
consisted throughout of a delightful
mingling of songs, essays recitations,
addresses and drills. The bovs and
girls costume drill, in which twenty
seven little folks took part was splendid,
as were all the numbers, The follow-
ing was the program in toto :

MATTER OF GOOD ROADS.
-Iiiclal Ciiiiiinlttf 11 A minlmi'il to Look
Into the Mutter.
A special committee, consisting of!
Fmill Schanno, Joe Peters and M. A.
Moody, lias been appointed to look into
uuiltcM for Hie interest of our city. A
meeting win held in tl.o club rooms last
night, and it was decided that fciucu it!

it would ho of great valuo to The Dalles,
to have the different wagon roads whichi
approach the city from yarlous direc

was considered and the following do-
cltle'd upon :

in proportion to the extent of his busi
ness, for four months. In this time the
amount collected would, according 10
the committees figuring, sum up $2400,
and besides this amount the county
would be expected to lend some assist
ance. At the least estimate over $3000
could be raised in this length of time,
About ten or twelve men and a sufficient
number of teams could be kept at work
with this sum, aud in four months this
amount of labor would do much tow
ards putting the roads in first-class con
dition. This is the plan which the committee
is considering at present, and if our
business men will lend a hand in help
ing it along, it will prove a very effective
one. With their support the committee
can do everything towards making it a
success; without that aid nothing can
be done in this matter.
Instructions to District Clerks.
The following supplies for the ensuing
years have been mailed from the super
intendent's office today :
l One district clerk's annual report
jlank, clerk's annual census blank, aud
)iio clerk's bond. The clerks should be
;in taking their annual census as soon
is they receive this and have their report
all made out in the hook of records, ready
;to submit to the annual school meeting
the first Monday in Maich. District
clerk's should fill out their annual re-
Iport blanks promptly, and return to the

1 Thu clerk's bond thould bo properly
tilled and signed, and presented to the
directors within ten days, and returned
) the supeiintendent's ollice within
lirty days Ironi electicn.
It is of the utmost importance to the
welfare of the districts that they make
out a careful, prompt aud compeltuK
pnrt, and thus enable mo to return nc
c irate statistics to the state superintend
e it of public instruction. They should
Ii form' the superintendent when their
tfhool begins, length of term and name

visiting schools this comiiii: year.
