Pin <;ay sKAtii'W. L TOWN OF RECORD-BREAKING MUSHROOM GROWTH. San mill t'oti From ll#»» to IJairo — Ron* of Hou*e* (iron In a NIklit. mid p Store*, llarlier Shop* and l.aundrlr* ■ SlonrUlt. ATE advices from Alaska state that nothing In the his tory of western boom towns will corn pare with the mushroom growth of the "City" of Skag ii a y. Hen Moore, the man who located the town site, left for the W:, Sound on Aug. 10 last, at which date there was his own log cabin, the store and the 'bunkhouse of the Alaska and Northwest Trading company and a number of tents. When he returned there were whole streets of woodeo dwellings, which the owners hud them selves located and had paid a registry fee to Cnlteil States Commissioner jO. Jmlth of live dollars. Not only were ||fa^*fhese newcomers permitted to locute ^ on Captain Moore's land on payment of the fee, but It Is said that Mr. Smith accepted the fee and gave a reglstra ■I... tliifi foili.t li'ilf il rlti'/titi /lifforunl people for the same plot of land. The newly appointed land commissioner and register, Mr. Dudley, will therefore line some difficulty In unraveling the eonflietlng real estate ownership on tlie town site. Skaguuy Is on a tide flat, with a title running over 20 feet, and therefore has a stretch of half a mile below the tidewater murk. All the passengers by big steamers are taken off In row boats, with a pull of from one to two miles, according to tlie etiif.i of tide, when they are car ried on the backs of the boatmen to comparative ]y dry land. It Is amus ing to hear the shrieks of the women when on the hack of the boatman splashing through the water. Only a month ago, when the Willamette land ed her couple of thousand of gold seek ers, all thf freight und passengers luggage were landed In these small boats, or small scows, and dumped on the shore pell mell, higgledy-piggledy, from which etch owner had to hurry to rescue his particular goods before the rapidly In coming tide ruined the or swept them away. Immense scows are now in use, big enough to take the whole of a ship's cargo. These, when loaded, float to shore on a high tide, and each owner gets out his own goods as soon mi lie can, and woe to him whose be longings chance to be near the bottom < f the huge pile. The two long piers are hotly com peting for the honor of being first com pleted and early next month both will lie In operation. That of the Skaguuy Wharf company Is already piled to its ocean end, a length of over 1,500 feet, in a curving line from the northern to the southern side of the bay, thus blocking off all further competition In this lir;<. This will be known common ly as the Juneau Pier, its promoters being J. P. Jorgersen, hardware mer chant; FJ. Valentine, jeweler, and E. D. Sylvesur. editor of the Searchlight, all of Juneau. The other pier will be known as the Seattle Dock, as it is largely backed by capital from thf Sound city. This starts from the street south of Broadway and runs straight to the completed dock under the cliff. Both will have warehouses, to which goods will be taken direct from the ship, and there await the proper claim ants. These two great piers are im pressive to the incoming stranger, who knows that the town is only a month old, but as to the rest he can see but little (torn the steamer's decks. Tents dot the shore the whole of its width, with he;e and there a small wooden building. The latter are rapidly tak ing the place of the canvas homes and stores, for the reason that cold weather and heavy rains have set in and more especially very higli winds. Captain McKinney, the chairman of the Vigi lance committee, estimates that there are now 15 buildings of wood, and that Ihere wi old have been many more hut for the scarcity of lumber. There is a sawmill hard at work now, lumber is coming in by every steamer, and nearly every one having the purpose to winter l ore is putting up a habitation of wood. Many are erecting larger and muie substantial buildings than their needs require, as a speculation, hoping to sell at a large profit when the rush Is renewed next spring and when they once more pack up for the Kloudykq. Probutc as mauy us 50 of such sub* mi uni 1*1 dwellings are going up. »Vv\. ^ ^ ! WMKRK THtt Til VU MWUI.V* VTUKVm VV A curious phase of the situation among those who have decided to wtn ter here is that nearly every one of them believes he has Just the natural gifts necessary to make a successful merchant. They are all putting their great stakes Into goods, which they hope to turn Into money again, with a large profit, by the spring, and then sell out an established business when the weather permits them to leave for the gold fields. Thus Is the new city building up. There are 13 saloons, a majority of their proprietors having plans for getting to the Klondyke as soon as possible, and there are be tween 300 and 400 merchants of whom the same thing may be said. Not only on llroadway but along the Intersect ing streets and among the big timbers on each side of the trail are these mer chants' tents and stores, little and big, and all sorts ar.d conditions of men are Interested In them, from the spec tiiAlml mnuelnl/iuu utnso /iloel/ /»111 *»t u I I \I handling the Haw and the ax on hla new building, to the atolld backwoods man, to whom the making of change la a difficult mental operation. One would think that the town would be overdone with ho many merchanta, and perhapa It will be Boon, when the ateumera are fewer and paaaengera on them not numeroua enough to be worth mentioning. But there la a population of over 500 atlll In tenta, and It la be lieved that there will be continual com ing and going until the beginning of December, to be then renewed the month following. The Infant city la well laid out, and not only on Broad way but on moat of the aide atreeta on either aide up to where the trull turna TRAVELS OF AN OLD HAT. From Tropic Mexico to Frtglil Al»»k» nn«l Willt (loins* < From the Kansas City Star: There drifted into the office of We1 is, Fargo & Co.'s express in Kansas City was other day an old hat that had seen much of the country. Completely cov ering its sides, crown and brim, w-re express tags from Mexico to the Yu kon and to Kansas City, latst night It left for New York, and will undoubt edly reach Its destination If there re mains room to attach the necessary tags Inside of the hat, securely wired and sealed, are some photographs -one of Jim Parker, an outlaw, who attempted to "hold lip" the Atlantic and Pacific express at Peach Springs, Arlz., last February. He was captured, but es caped, after killing his Jailer. He was recaptured and is now In Jail at Pres cott. There Is also the photograph of a dead train rubber, made an "anger’ by A. C. Hummirs, un express messen ger on the Albuquerque und l/ts Ange les division of the Atlantic and Pacific lullway, The hat was worn by Hum mers, who started It out for Mexico with the Injunction pasted Inside for all messengers to attach their stickers and foiward, and with the Information that, the hat would eventually he pre sented to Mr. McKinley. The hat started for Mexico and came back load ed down with messages, humorous und otherwise, from the agents of the com pany.

Among the timber also there are many mer chants, in tents or rough shacks. In the early history of the city that. Is, three weeks ago -boiled shirts were publicly derided, as were also shaVen chins. Now there are four barber shops and two or three signs reading “Troy laundry." There Is also a hath house in course of construction, and this is a luxury that tired men coming off the trail will appreciate. Dumber Is still scarce, rough lumber at $!» per thousand feet at Seattle selling for about twenty-five dollars here. There Is little doubt that a hundred or morn buildings will he erected during the next 30 days. Why ('»ta Alwiiya Full on Tli«lr Fuel. Why does a cat always fall on its feet? This Is a question that has re cently absorbed the earnest attention of the French Academy of Sciences. The problem Is clearly a dlfllcult one. for that learned body of savants has so far failed to offer a final solution. M. Marey, a distinguished professor who has made a special study of unlmal movements, claims that the body of a cat Is composed of two parts, one of which acts as a pivot for the other. Upon dropping the cat. It appears, paws upward, and then by a series of convulsive movements, It gradually rights Itself and reaches the ground in an upright position The whole pro cess of turning Is accomplished before the animal has fallen a yard. Without a fulcrum, without something to lean ugalnst, the cat certainly would not accomplish the feat. Mr. Marey de clares that the animal's limbs act upon u fulcrum which Its own body pro vides.

Nearly all the messages are in Spanish, and there arc small photographs »r Mexican hull fighters, pulque gatherers and com ic pictures from the Mexican papers. There is also a rabbit's foot, a key, wax matches, aluminum tags, tin tops from beer bottles, car seals and tin types. The route the hat took can be traced all through Mexico, Arizona. Colorado, and the northwest, back through Ne braska, Iowa, Topeka, Kan., and now to Kansas City. On several of the tags are earnest Injunctions to keep the hut well iced en route. It Is an express man's Joke and carries well. Where the old hat will come to a stop It Is hunl to say, because It Is quite likely that when there Is no more room left for tags an addition will he sewed on, and It will travel some more.

We have no hesitation In j fating that the Hpur of a cockerel (or ven a pullet- when It appears as It j ametlmes does—esrly In life) Is most arlable and deceptive In Its growth 1 nil substance, and we consider many rltlcs place far too much confidence hereon when attempting to determine jo age of an early hatched bird. On His we do not speak without consider hle experience, both with birds we ave bred ourselves and also from oth r well known yards. Two of these itter rases wo will cite. In one,some ears ago. a well known exhibitor at hat time had a Ilrahma cockerel thst ras hatched the second week tn Keb uary, and on tho first of June, when '« saw him, had developed a long, harp pointed spur, that might have fell been found on the leg of a two ear-old cork. tie was not a show ird, and consequently there was no "aeon whatever that the owner hould prevaricate as to his age, even ad he been Inclined to do so, which fe are confident he was not. In the unio brood, bred by the same parents, 'ere too cockerels without the slighte st sign of a spur of any kind, while not her had one that no one would for moment question was that, of quite baby youngster. The other case '« allude to was that of a pullet. Hho 'as a March hatched bird of one of lie lighter legged varieties, and was xhllilted by her breeder In the hen lass at the Palace that year. lie called ur attention to her, and asked us 'bet her wo considered her a hen or a ullet; and If, considering her spurs, e had entered her In the pullet dans lhere being separate classes for hens rid pullets of that variety), and we ad beeu judging, we should have assed her as being over age? Well, 'e at that time bad to confess tliut 'lib .such a spur we certainly should J ot have felt justified In putting her 'here she othsrwjse doubtless would ave been In the pullet class vlx., ut be top. Tho owner then told us her xuet age, und he explained that he ad shown her In the hen class, as e feared passing or disqualification r shown with the pullets. Now, this ili-il hml untiru fullv thn*<> (iiiarlers of I n Inch long, mill as sharp anil point il us needles. Thero could he no loubt us to the statement being cor ed, us her owner hud sacrificed his hunee and placed her amongst the icns, where she only obtained "very ilghly commended,” while, barring ler spurs, she was an easy first for inllets. In this Instance, strain hud pparently something to do with It, or we were lold that nearly all the lens showed a tendency to develop purs, some more than others. We ouhl give many Instances similar to he foregoing, hut two will suffice, 'here are, however, many other causes vhlch lead to variations In spurs, the real her for one In a season ilke this. Vhen the weather Is warm and the [round hut, hard and dry, we have lotlred (here Is a tendency, not only o show an early spur, hut a more ban usually hurd and developed one. Phen, aguln, there are those who ;eep an Instrument purposely for cut Ing hack the spur and making It how a growth which uppeurs soft and oung on a bird which would other vise exhibit a much more developed me. We once saw one of the lustru m-tits used, and when we Inspected he bird three weeks later his spur ooked as natural us though nothing ■ad been done to It. Spurs vary very uueh, too, with different breeds and vlth different localities. All these hlngs have led us to the firm convlc lon that no satisfactory decision us o the age of the bird can be deter nIned by Its spurs, and very strongly irge those who do place such a large miouni of confidence therein to look or some more reliable proof before hey accuse what may In reality he un loncHt bird of tne year or being over ige.
