DALTON IN PORTLAND
He Says Dalton Miners Need
Relief.
PORTLAND MAY DO IT
That City is in Earnest About Send
ing Relief to the Klondike
Miners at Once.
The Game Wordeos la Colorado Kionor
ated Fatalities Around Christmas
? rees Burglars Made a Uood
Haul at Woodborn.
Portland, Or., Dec. 2G. The fa
mous Jack Dalton, the man who led
out the expedition from Dawson sev
eral weeks aero which announced to
the worU that the miners of the Klor
dike were nearinir starvation, is in
town. He arrived on the Northern
Pacific train from Seattle yesterday
eveoi r.
Dulton is here on his way to Van'
couver barracks to see General Mer
riam. The general is investigating
the methods of relieving the Klondik-
ers, and has charge of the work for the
war department. Dalton will give him
all the information which he possesses
about the trails and methods of taking
relief to Dawson. He is not a talka
tive man, and he refused to discuss his
plans to any gpeat extent.
'I shall see General Merriam and
explain to him the conditions as well
as I can," said he. "I am not seeking
the job of leading the relief expedition
to the Klondike. I have other busi
ness which is of more importance to
j me, and there are men wno can lead
the expedition as well as I.
"My plan would be to use pack horses
all the way to Dawson from Skagway.
That is the best plan that I know of.
It is better than using dogs and better
than having men haul the sleds. Of
course, horses require feed, and that
would have to be carried in along with
the provisions.
"It would take about 45 days, possi
bly longer, to make the trip. I should
think that an expedition leaving Skag
way during the first two weens of Jan
uary would arrive by March. Of ccurse
you cannot figure closely in such mat
ter?, but that is about the time that I
estimate. All these other schemes of
taking in food seem to me to be ridicu
lous."
"Is theer really any need of a relief
expedition?!' was asked.
"Well, those people have got very
little to eat, and if they don't get re
lief they will 'suffer. The persons wno
said that there is enough provisions
don't know what they - are talking
about. They hayo got to have relief
or there will be sufTeringr' ' V
It is easy to catch a cold and just as
easy to get rid of it if you commence
early to use One Minute Cough Cure.
It cures coughs, colds, bronchitis.

troubles. It is pleasant to take, safe
to use and sure to cure. Snipes and
Kinersly.
FOR KlKLY RELIEF.
Portland Will Try to Start an Expedition
to Klondike.'
PorTiiAND, Or., Dec. 26. The Klon .
dike relief committee is thoroughly in
earnest in their desires to equip an
advance relief expedition to leaye
Portland if possible ' January 15. and
to be pushed through to Dawson by
the middle of March, at which time
the meager store of provisions on the
Yukon will be practically exhausted.
Financial assistance is offering from
every quarter and tho provisions
necessary have already been donated.
Practical men are in consultation
with the committee, and it is hoped to
announce a definite plan of proceed ure
at an early date.
It is a foregone conclusion that the
elaborate scheme of relief undertaken
by the government will not avail the
poor miners "who are practically on tho
vary shortest rations now. Portland
can accomplish more than the govern
ment with all its money, as they are
dealing with practical men, while the
government's hands are tied ud with
an impossible reindeer scheme, evolv
ed from the theoretical atmosphere
surrounding and permeating every
crevice in the war office.

' Bulldog Douglas. is a- character in
the suburbs of this city, says the Wash
ington Star. But it is not of B. D. so
much as his occupation one wants to
speak. The latter is peculiar and alU
gether a 6v.gestion of Bulldog Douy
las. Be it knotvn that Bulldog Doug
las is the proprietor of a multitude of
bulldogs, all of whom he dearly loves.
Just as a miser might love and hoard
money, just so does Douglas go on
through life amassing and hoarding
bulldogs. He can't, to bis notion,
have too many of these bellicose chat
tels. At last it would appear as if he
had found a use for them. The idea
had suggestion to Jiim because of the
expense of maintaining his canine
standing army. He must find some:
thing for them to do. The other day a
gentleman met Bulldog DouglaH tow
ing a felonious-looking dog at the end
of a rope.
"Just hired out another dog," re
marked Douglas, delightedly, pausing
and looking fondly on his vicious pet.
' "What do you moan by that?'' queried
the gentleman.
Bulldog Douglas then advanced an
explanation. Many of the residents of
Washington leave town for the summer.
As a protection to their houses during
their absence Bulldog Douglas renta
v them a savage dog, warranted to tear
. the hind leg off a burglar or a tramp at
the drop of the hat. Bent, per dog,
three dollars per month. Dulldog
Douglas stakes out the canine sentry
in the back yard with the rope long
enough to allow him to patrol the
whole rear of the house. Then when
the burglar appears the dog mingles
with him and the burglar soon after
ward hurries away. The inventor of
this -unique patrol for back yards
claims great things for his system.
During the summer season he puts out
some two scores of dogs to hire after
this fashion. Bulldog Douglas makes
the rounds once a day and -bestows wa
ter and rations on the dogs. They do
thc rest- Il's a novel industry and dur-
ing the touring months Bulldog Doug
las declares it to be a paying one.

Alger has received word that Hon.
Clifford Sifton, Canadian minister of
the interior, and J. A. McKenoa, of
tho samo department, by invitation of
Alger, will arrive here tonight to con
fer with the eretary relative to the
pending Klondike relief measures.
The secretary originally intended to
go to Ottowa, but has been deterred
by the grip which keeps him closely
confined at his home.
Alger hopes with a personal confer
ence with the Canadian officials to
arrange for a permit from-tie Canad
ian government for 11. ty United States
army men to serve as guards for an ex
pedition tj pass through Canadian ter
ritory. Another object of the conference is
to adjust some customs subjects, in
volved in the expedition, such, for in
stance, as remission of duties on the
food supplies that are to be sent in.
Another object is to secure the co
operation of the Canadian mounted
police, which it is not doubted wili be
cheerfully extended and will be of
great value, through their familiarity
with the country through which the
expedition' must pass.
A cablegram was received today by
the secretary from Kjallman, the gov
ernment reindeer-herder, now in
Alten, Norway, stating that be is busy
collecting the reindeer needed for the
transportation of supplies to the Klon
dike. Miss Allie Hughes, .Norfolk, .Va.,

How Partition of China Might Cause Fa
tare Complications. '
New York. Dec. 27. According to
a Washington correspondent of the
Herald, Senator Morgan, of the com
mittee on foreign relations, said to
night that it would be impossible for
the United States to remain compla
cent should European nations under
take the dismemberment of China.
Senator Morgan Said:
"If partition of China involves the
abrogation of treaties, this country
would be left to make terms with each
European na'iion separately in the ter
ritory to which its sovereignty exten
ded;' therefore, unless the powers now
ambitious for' territorial extension f
take into account the character of our
commercial relations, it will be nec
essary for the government to inter
vene in self-defense. -
"If the cession is absolute, then
American interests must be taken care
of through the treaties of America and
tho countries to which tbe absolute
cessions are made respectively. If tbe
territory is given up merely for a time,
there will be .a mixed responsibility,
and it is a good time for intervention
and the exerejae of American diplo
macy. ".The German occupation of a part of
China and the prospective occupation
of other parts by various European na
tions is an effort to complete a cordon
of offense to American commerce from
Vladivostock to Marseilles or to Liver
pool. ' That cordon is .being stretched
to contract tbe trade of 600,000,000 peo
ple who have direct trade and inter
course with the Pacific ocean.
"There is a. great deal in the Chi
nese problem that vitally interests
Americans and demands action by. tbe
stat3 department and congress."

TOASTED TO A TURN.
Sister Caroline Got Even with the Man
Who Bad Despised HerLove.
There was a scene and a sensation
at the Calvary Baptist church (colored)
on a recent Sunday. A "covenant" or
experience meeting was in progress,
and Sister Caroline, of some 50 sum
mers, had the floor. She began in the
usual orthodox form of telling her ex
Ierience, but shifted to a recital of .
her personal grievance against Brother
Jackson, whose arrival with his bride
upon his arm had turned the course of
her remarks. The way she roasted him
was highly entertaining, if not edify
ing. Rev. Mr. Parish attempted to call
her down, but she insisted upon having
her say' out. Unable to control her, he
sought to overcome her harangue with
a song, and so gave out a hymn. For
awhile the sister's voice could be heard
above the united tones of the concTega- 4
tion. She continued to talk agninst tbe
overwhelming odds until her voice gave
way under the strain and she fell ex
lin us ted in the seat.
Here is the way she began her ex
penence recital:
"I praise de Lawd dat he has 'lowed
me to lib to sec dis day. De great AI
mighty is cr merciful God. He is
just Lawd, an' will not stand round an
see cny ob his poor creeters suffer
wrong. De Lawd has been berry he'pful
to me. He has fed me when I wuz
hungry, an' I have been naked an he
clothed me. He hab put money in my
purse." Just then Brother Jackson
appeared with his bride nnd the sister
changed the key of her discourse.
"Oh, Lawd. I thank thee that thoa
has been so good to me. I thank thee,
oh, Lawd, that thou hast 'nabled me to
feed Brother Jackson, who done got
married to another an violation of his
promise to marry me. I thank thee
that thou hast 'nabled me to give him
six shirts and has helped me to raise
de eight dollars for him to buy a pair of
new shoes. Oh, Lawd. I thank thee
thut he hab libed iu my house a whole
year" -without pnyin board. ' I thank
thee, oh, Lawd, that I raised, by thy
help, the money to send Brother Jack-
Ron ter Chicago. And now, oh, Lawd,
lie hab come back an' school have be
gun, he has not kept his promise to
marry me. But, oh, Lawd, how grate-
lul i am dat I can say dis bright day in
de language of de pharisee, that 'I am
not as other men am.' No, Lawd, your
own Caroline am still libing in hopes
ob an eternal salvation, an if it is pos
sible, .Lawd, I pray thee to save Brother
t Jackson, for berrily, I say, unto him,
i "ye know not what ye do.' "
I Naturally the congregation was con
vulsed, and Itev. Mr. Parish, after in-
! effectual efforts to quiet his sister, thus
. addressed the congregation:
I "Brethren, we cannot permit our mis
1 guided sister to go on. . Sing the long
meter do'xology arid keep singing it un
til she 'takes her seat." Louisville

UNCOOKED FOOD.
Tho Strange Fare of Three Hearty
California Women. ,
Every Article of Food Consumed Is
In the Natural State Why
This Odd Beglme Is
Preferred.
There are three charming women In
Berkeley who constitute the exception
necessary to prove the rule that man
is a cooking animal. They regard cook
ing as barbarity. Their dainty palates
rebel at the suggestion of any food that
has had its crude nature modified by
fire. To them the chef and all his works
are anathema maranatha. They eat
three hearty uncooked meals every day,
and are as plump as partridges, as rosy
as pippins and as happy as sandboys
withal.
This gastronomicol eccentric trio con
sists of Mrs. L. Beal and her two daugh
ters, Alice and Mary Beal. The Beal a
are a cultured English family. Their
wealth and intelligence preclude the
idea that their extraordinary diet
should have been adopted' ' through
either economy or imperfeut investiga
tion into matters of science. They
moved from England "to ttie13outh8ea
islands, where Mr. Beal was a repre-"
sentative of her ma jesty.'s rctyal govern
.meot. When Mr. Beal died they eamt
to California, and have been' living in
a very pretty little place which'"nestle
among the Berkeley hills.
It was during their residence in the
inlands of the South sea that the Reals
acquired their taste for uncooked food-
The Beals are in no sense simple
eaters of f i uit. Their regimen includes
all kinds of vegetables, cereals, fruit
berries every thing,' in, fact, except
meat But nothing is permitted to Ap
proach the oven or the pot, the frying
pan or the griddle.
The first article on the Beal break
fast menu is mush. Thnt is, they call it
mush, but no one would recognize it
as the time-honored, article. The raw
material is taken from the. original
package and deposited in the dish of
each breakfaster. To this is added milk
to suit. The Deals do not confine them
selves to one kind of mush, but devour
by turns paits in different forms, corn
meal and wheats, but always raw as
the arlelei comes from the grocery. To
this are .idded fruits, nuts and one veg
etable, nil in a state of nature.
At luncheon uncooked bread takes
the place of the uncooked mush. Wheat,
corn or barley coarsely ground and
mixed with milk is the substitute for
bread upon the Beal table. Luncheon
is completed much like the breakfast.
Dinner is completed by adding two
vegetables to the luncheon menu and
by varying the uncooked "bread." Any
vegetable that may be In season is al
lowed string beans, cabbage, turnips,
i carrots, artichokes or asparagus, as the
case may be. Green corn eaten from
.the cob uncooked is paid to be. a great
luxury, and raw green peas are de
scribed as delicious. When fresh fruits
are out of season the dried fruits are
accepted as a substitute. Canned fruits
are never served, because they are
cooked before canning. Among the
dried fruits prunes find the greatest fa
vor with the Beal family. Tea and cof
fee are never, used, because the Deals
regard the brewing thereof as. a form of
cookery.
"We live uppn uncooked food simply
because we believe that it is the best,"
said Mrs. Beal. "It is not a religious
mania, but it is done because we are
satisfied that it iB proper from a scien
tific point of view. Our dietary habits
are the result of our experience while
living in the islands, and, now that we
are in the heart of civilization, we do'
not see any reason to change it."
The simplicity that is exhibited in
eating is carried through the remainder
of the house. The furnishing of the
place is very simple, but of the finest
that can be purchased. The floors of
the house are uncarpeted, but are of
hardwood, highly polished, with rugs
made from the pelts of wild animals
found in the islands. The raiment of
Mrs. Beal and her daughters is as sim
ple and yet as expensive as the rest of
their environments. Son Francisco Ex

On the big, unfenced ranges of the
west cattle from one herd frequently
stray away and join a herd be
longing to another ranchman, and
for mutual convenience and protection
the cattlemen in the various states have
associations which keep agents at the
principal cattle .markets to watch for
such strays and see that the result of
their sale is credited to their proper
owner, no matter in what shipment
they reach the market. During last
year 3,004 head of stray cattle belonging
to ranchmen in the Black hills coun
try were picked out in Chicago and 917
head in Omaha, and through the asso
ciation their owners received the money
from their sale. The cattle are identi
fied by their brands.

LAND CARONS OUT

Landlords Who Are Reckless,
Free- r
Handed and Uood Livers. -.
The divine injunction "in the sweat
)f thy face shalt thou eat bread." has
no relevancy to the citizens of the five
:ivili.-.cd tribes. Here are a people
who. like the lilies of the fields, "'toil
not; neither do they spin," furnishing
in example of class favoritism under
the law peculiar and interesting to
study, says Harper's. The landlords
have no care but the gathering of
rents and a general supervision of the
homo place. They are, as a class,
free-handed, reckless, good livers and
with a strong tendency to dissipation. -Most
of them live up to their incomes ,
and few acquire large bank accounts.
lour typical landlord's home is the
rambling white-plantation great house '.
of ante-bellum days, with wide 'gal- '
leries, big chimneys and usually, in
bad state of repair. An air of untidl-.-'
ness and neglect pervades the yard, to ;
which is added a lack of taste inside ;
when you enter. Still there is spue
thing about the surroundings the - or-
chard, smoke house, negroes, pigs and '
poultry which denotes solid old-fashv .
:oncd comfort and ' Arcadian content. ' "
Frequently you meet the lord of one of ;
these mansions a squaw man whosa ;
family claim no Indian blood,. yet ha
enjoys, by virtue of a former matri
monial alliance, all the landed rights
-jf an Indian. It is really surprisin
t.ie number of this class that are !;
vorced from Indian wives or havJ
omo widowers and remarried in f.h
own race. They constitute the large
'unitholders and are very jealous, of
their tribal rights. when threatened by
'boomers," as they term the opponent
of land monopoly and unequal privi
leges. , ' '
And what of the Indian,' the full-.
blood, whom this great and munificent
government of ours has in its wisdom .
regarded as a ward and heir to a
princely heritage as a recompense for
Anglo-Saxon rapine? You will . find
him where the stillness of the forest is
as yet unbroken. He is there in his
miserable little hut, a recluse from the
great mad world he so distrusts and
fears, living a poor hand-to-mouth ex
istence, and rarely emerging to visit
the haunts of his tormentors. A scanty
paten of, corn, a lew poultry and mast:
SAW
fed hogs, with what game and fish fall '
prey to his skill, go to supply bis; '. "
meager larder and. furnish employment., .
for his. squaw and himself. Onon in a . - "
great whilo there is a per capita pay-, . . . -mcnt,
and a pittance falls to his share ' ,
after the professional redmen of tho. ' ? v
tribe have mado the disbursement to '
their satisfaction and paid tholr' 'aVi-1'!
torncy's fees." It is a rare thinf' to find -. . f
a full-blood in the Indian territory who- . :
is living comfortably on as much a: a
quarter section of land under cultira-'. ' :
tion. There are some, but they are V -
striking exceptions.
