The papers all over the country are agitatiDg the "savings bank" question, contending that their establishment would result in much good. The Gazette would be very remiss, as well as entirely out of fashion, if it did sot fall into line and give its mite towards the good cause. Man is largely swayed and con trolled by the influence of exam ple, and this characteristic of hu man nature makes the postal sav ings bank a benefit and a blessing. One of these banks being started in a community, the thrifty few begin at once to make deposits. Their example stimulates others to thrift and economy, and thus the benefits are soon carried into a large portion of the homes. Eight per cent of the depositors in savings banks are in New Eng land and New York. Some BO- MA. QEER FORTUNATE. Most people in our state have heard that Hon. T. T.

There is nothing left at the camp at the preaent time but bacon and beaos. Fortunately there is lots of game bo J many of the people are busy hunting. The mining is all done in the winter time. A great deal of money changes bands in gambling. Oaa large saloon and gambling house takes in on an average $1,400 a day. Six other saloons take in 8300 a day each. All drinks and cigars are 50 oents. The Canadian government will find itself in trouble it it tries to take every other claim. The people intend to fight this proportion. This will not affoct most of the people that went in early last winter. There are 5,000 people now on the trail trying to get in. Doubtless many of these will die on the road from starvation, and a large number will be come disheartened and turn back. When be went into the oountry there were 1G9 men, women and children on the trail before him. Ha left twenty dogs at Skaguay to be in readiness for him upon his return and with them will take a quantity of provieions over the trail to the camp. From reports he esti mates that there will be 25,000 people in there the coming season. There are no idle people in the camp. Nor are there any petty laroeny gentry. The laws, whioh have been made by the miners, are very strict, as a consequence there is little fear of depredations being committed. It oau be positively said that there are no bums in the oountry. This is explained in the faot that suoh people would not risk the hardships that are to be endured in get ting into the oountry even were it possible to bum a subeistenoe during the tryiog journey. Lumber is very soaroe in that oountry. It cannot be bad at all without going from 15 to 40 miles for it. It is a mis taken idea that fish are plentiful. They are not. A fish weighing five or six pounds costs 85. There is stored at the present time in two stores as mnob gold as could be car ried by two freight cars waiting to be shipped out of the oountry but it will uot bo brought out this year. During the summer the people are obliged to use gloves and oover their faces and neoks with mosquito netting to protect themselves from the gnats and mosquitoes The lutter are so bad that they at times stiug through buokskin gloves. The enats are even worse than the mosquitoes. The news pertaining to that oountry s greatly exaggerated by the press and particularly by the Hun Franoisoo pa pers. As an instance three men were in terviewed by newspaper men upon their arrival in the sound. They told the scribe that they had $5000 among the three of them. The papers came out next day stating that they had returned th $5000 each. weeks. About that time the soua toriai iigui uflcamo very warm.
