The Norn Gold Field The first map folder or circular re specting the Klondike gold stance of 1898 was issued by the Northern Pacific railway. It is more than a coincidence that the first map folder or phamphlet of the Nome mining district comet from the same source. The present folder trot only contains a good map ol be Nome district, bnt is embellished with several cats of views at Nome City and the beach where the method oi mining is clearly shown. All informa tion obtainable regarding sailing date from Seattle and Tacoma, through rates, etc., is given in this book and the pnblio cautioned to go to the agentt of the N. P. By., who are supplied with diagrams of the Alaska steamers, and arrange in advance for their accom modations rather than lo pnt off th very important business until tht reach Paget Sound. There is no doubt but what there will be a very consider able passenger business from the mid dle and eastern states and a very heavy business from the Pacific coast state to the Nome district next spring. For folders, rates, etc., call on A. D. Charlton, Asst. Gen. Pass. Agt., Port land, Or., or send a two cent stamp t Chas. 8.

The Daughters of the American Revo lution In New York city are making I strong effort to save the famous Hamil ton trees of St. Nicholas avenue. 142d street. The trees are the ones left of the original 13 planted by Alex ander Hamilton to commemorate th IS original states. It is likely that tht society will buy the lot and have ill neatly fenced in. If they cannot raise enough money to buy the place tb trees will be cut down and a block will be built thereon. We Americans do not pay enougn attention to the reser vation of such historical valuables. James Eads Howe, of 8t. Louis, wh has given his fortune of $1,000,000 tc the poor, says he was influenced to dc this by the incident of the rich young man related in the tenth chapter of St Mark's gospel. Mr. Howe is a grand son of James B. Eads, the famous engi neer who built the great Mississippi Di-iage at St. Lotus. The Sioux and Blackfeet Indian will at parting dig their spears in tht earth as a sign of confidence and mu tual esteem. This is the origin of the term "burying the tomahawk."

Settlers in the states of Washington and Oregon, and, in fact, in all the itaea through which the Northern Pa cific railroad passes, are very much in teres ted in the rulings now being made by the interior department on the act of congress of June 4, 1897, which al lows the Northern Pacific Railroad Company and others to select lands in lien of lands embraced in the various forest reserves and held by them under patent or under unprotected olaims or squatters rights In lien of the lands so relinquished the railroad company and others was authorised to select from any vacant lands open to settlement. The department of the interior has held "vacant lands to settlement" to mean, if necessary, all onsurveyed lands. Therefore, settlers or squatters on nnsnrveyed lands have been very un easy for some time, and many of them felt that there is little prospect of hold ing their claims. , The land department ol the railroad company, however, asserts that it is not its purpose to take the lands of any bona fitts settler. At the same time the department of the interior .encourages the settlers to continue their settlement, and within hree months after the acceptance of the official survey of their lands to as sert their claims thereto. The ruling of the department is that the party first initiating the right of settlement has the prior claim. Congressman Jones, of Washington, who has Just introduced relief bill on behalf of settlers, is of the opinion that most settlers would not think of fighting the railroad company, and, therefore, the law as it was enacted does grave injustice to settlers, as a role. In an interview Mr. Jones said: 'It has been repeatedly asserted that lands upon which there are settlers have been filed on by the railroad com pany under the present law. To pre vent this is one of the objects of the law. I know that settlers have their remedy. That is to fight the claim of the company and establish their prior rights. This is expensive. The set tlers are not wealthy. The prospect of delay is discouraging, and many prefer to abandon their settlements rather than bear the expense and delay of contest. The railroad cannot complain at these provisions. If its claim to a tract of land is just it will prevail. Delay and expense cannot hurt it as they do the settler. All it has to do is to in spect the land. If it finds a settler and does not think he is there bona fide it can contest his claim aa any other contestant, bnt it should bear the bur den of such contest. These bills are introduced without any hostility to the railroad, bnt out of a desire to do jus tice to the settler. I believe the gov ernment should be quite lenient with men who are striving to reclaim the pnblio domain, especially nowjjwhen the' choice land is taken op. If we bad more owners of small tracts ol land we would be better off." Senator Foster and Representative Cushman have each given much atten tion to the claims of settlers and then rights, and in all cases there is an un qualified sentiment favorable to the pioneer and home-building squattei and settler. GoTerament Boepltal at Vancouver, President Bee be, of the Portland chamber of commerce, at its last meet ing, called attention to the bill locating a permanent general hospital at Van' couver, Wash., which has been intro duced in congress by Representatives Jones, of Washington. George Taylor, jr., said that the hospital was of great importance to Portland. "Vancouver's healthful location is well known," said Mr. Taylor. "Before long, many sol diers will be returning from the Phil ippines, and Vancouver is the place fox them." The trustees voted to request the Oregn congressional delegation to co-operate with the Washington dele gation in behalf of the Vancouver hos pital. Statistics showing that Van couver is a healthier place than the Presidio will be sent to Washington tc help the bill along. Korthwest Kotee. Steelhead salmon are reported very numerous In Coos bay. The Dalles has authorized a contract for an electric fire alarm system for 1C years. Fish Commissioner Little has ar ranged to plant a carload of Eastern lobsters in Puget sound waters as an experiment. A horse, loaded with United State. mail, was recently killed near the falls below Brewster valley by missing Its footing and rolling over a precipice on the rocks, 150 feet below. The mail was recovered. The Christian denomination of Al bany intends to build a new church and has raised $2,000 toward it. The pastor announces that the size of the building is to be determined by the amount of money raised, as the congre gation intends to build only such s structure as may be dedicated free from debt The common council of The Dalles has passed an ordinance to refund $20, 000 of 6 per cent bonds at 4 per cent. At the December meeting of th board of Thurston county commission ers the quesiton of calling $20,000 worth of the Olympla & Chehalls rail road funding bonds of 1889 was consid ered, and the call decided upon. Ol course, as the bonds have 10 years yet to run the call was conditional on the disposition of the holders to release them. A Pomeroy man has been fined $20 for allowing his son to remain on the streets after 7:30 o'clock in the even ing, in violation of a curfew ordinance. The oldest letter-carrier in Seattle is Everett A. Hartley, whose term ol service dates from August 6, 1888. He will, therefore, wear two black stars.

Dnn A; Co.'s weekly review says: Failures in 1899 were 9,893 in number, with liabilities of $123,132, 679. The last few days of the year added a few to the number, and ' some millions to the known liabilities of firms and banks whioh failed close to the end, so that commercial defaults reached $90,879,889. Most people in business have been so occupied with their accounts and the settlements of the past year that little new business has yet been done. No new tendency in manufactures or in trading appears, and less change than was anticipated in money markets. There is nothing unsound in the business of the great industries, but an extensive revision of prices may dis appoint extreme expectations. Two ways of stimulating business are adopt ed. The Iron Age notices "transac tions of magnitude in foundry iron, wnion indicates that some sellers are willing to make concessions to secure the trade of good customers." But the steel and wire company has advanced prices of wire, nails, barbed and smooth wire 25 cents. Wool is strongly held, though prices of a month ago cannot be otbained. Cotton does not rise further because re ceipts from plantations have somewhat increased, and accounts of large stocks at many small towns have attracted attention. cotton goods are at the Highest quo tation of last year, with good demand, though cotton has declined a little. Wheat moved very sluggishly, with small change in prices. In six months of the crop year about 99,000,000 bush eis (nour incinaea), nave been ex ported, against 123,000,000 last year Atlantie exports have now fallen to only 3,690,926 bushels for the week. against 6,514,140 last year, and Pacific exports were 531,225 against 614,833 last year. .

The dirty brownish fogs that lie across the horizon above Belle Isle are, of course, the most treacherous enemy for the ocean liner. They conceal the other dangers, and the other dangers are neither few nor far apart What with Icebergs ranging In size from a few hundred feet In circumference to mon sters nine miles in length (the exact di mension of one measured by the New foundland superintendent of fisheries), with naked rock walls rising vertically 700 feet out of the sea, with crumbled ledgs whose saw-tooth edge stands up In pinnacles or slopes down to a white- capped reef, and with the submerged shoals of the Sable and Magdaleno Is! andLdtstrlcts, the pilot has as difficult a piece of water to navigate aa could be found. The perils of Nova Scotlau waters can be and have been lessened. Light- bouses now mark the most dangerous points, and long ago a stop was put to the nefarioua work of the wreckers who plied successful depredations with Sable Island as a basis. Time was, within the memory of navigators still living, when false lights above the sands of Sable Island lured passing ships to their rain, and when the gov ernment cruisers would come to the ships' aid not a thing would be found but the stripped hull. Though passen gers might have waded ashore In some places, the dead used to be found strip ped of all clothing and jewels, with the ring finger cut off, and frequently the gash of a wrecker's weapon across the forehead, signs plainly telling of a con fllct between the passengers struggling ashore through beating surf and the murderous men who awaited them. But all this la a thing of the past on Sable Island. Not only were wreck era driven orr, hut live stock was placed on the long stretch of grass- grown sand, so that castaways could have some means of subsistence until help came Belle Isle strait Is by far the most treacherous part of the North Atlantic route. The coast of Ibrador projects Into the ocean like a barrier against the flinging tides; and when the baffled current finds resistance suddenly re moved, when the narrow straits open between Newfoundland and Labrador, the waters toss In with the sidling mo tion that creates the beam sea so hate ful to all landsmen. The strength of this inburstlng current simply cannot be calculated or counteracted by any mariner. In width the straits vary from nlue to forty miles; and when the brownish fog never absent from the northern horizon spreads southward. obscuring every landmark, It la im possiDie ror any captain to keep up speed and retain his bearings. He may refer to his chart as often as he pleases and tell himself, "Thus and thns have we come, and here Is the place we are. Tide and fog may have betrayed him In spite of his calculations, and be may be at least a hundred miles out of his course. Besides the danger from fog and tide at the entrance to the Gulf of St Law rence, there Is the peril of long, sharp ledges that farrow all parts of the northern coast and are only visible by the fretted line of surface spray. No lighthouses mark these bidden reefs, and many a schooner comes to grief upon them during the night or In a fog. False Cape runs out from Newfound land In great, jagged, towering rocks, torn by the driving tide, and White Isl and lies off the shore bare and lonely a tombstone Afar, from other rocky Islands, comes the dull booming of the surf, which Indian legend of Labrador describes as the shrieking of demons over their prey. Roofless hut used aa wind-breaks by the seal ers In the spring add to the Indescrib able loneliness of the tenantless coast; and If some fisherman's dory comes bounding over the waves Its sudden disappearance behind some rocky emi nence only accentuates the utter drear iness of the whole region. New York Evening Post A TITIAN IN MEXICO. Indiana of Bnlned City BefoM $50,- OOO for a Maaterpiaca. Here la a story about a picture which bangs In the ruined Church of Tzln- zuntzan, Mexico, and which the Mexi can Herald asserts Is a genuine Titian, which, though the average traveler knows nothing about, has been visited by artiste from all parts of the globe, who have made the journey to Mexico solely for the purpose of seeing this canvas. And they have all declared that the picture was well worth the trip. The famous picture bangs In one of the old ruined churches. The padre himself will point out the way and stay with yon while you are there. The entrance to the audltorjum of the church la through a long, dark corridor, that leads up to a great door, barred and chained and padlocked that seem ed to carry you back to the old feudal days and make one think that the doors of some old castle were being opened to him. The door opens into an Inner room as dark as night, the padre unfastens a grated window, and a flood of golden sunlight comes from over the western bills beyond the lake and falls full up on the picture, such coloring, such composition, sueli feeling as could only come from the hand of a master. Tra dition says it was painted by Titian and presented to Philip of Spain. Eminent men, authors and painters agree with this version. An effort haa been made to buy the painting, and $50,000 was ffere4 b the Bishop of Mexico, but j the faithful, devoted Indians refused. The picture hi an entombment, six teen feet long by seven feet high. Sur rounding the dead Christ, wrapped In a winding sheet, stands the Virgin, Mag dalen, St. John and nine other figures all life size. The picture's state of pres ervation Is marvelous. More than 1100 years have lapsed since the great mas ter touched It, and yet one Is deludvd Into th belief that It was painted but yesterday, so fresh, pure and rich la It color. .
