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.

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

would think that the town would be
overdone with ho many merchanta, and

of over 500 atlll In tenta, and It la be

TRAVELS OF AN OLD HAT.

From the Kansas City Star: There

& Co.'s express in Kansas City was
other day an old hat that had seen
much of the country. Completely cov

express tags from Mexico to the Yu

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’

with the Injunction pasted Inside for
all messengers to attach their stickers

that, the hat would eventually he pre

started for Mexico and came back load

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

about twenty-five dollars here. There
Is little doubt that a hundred or morn

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.

cent silver dollar Is wired to the hot

all the messages are in Spanish, and
there arc small photographs »r Mexican

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.

Spur* M Indicator* of
At the present moment this subject
i one which Is being considerably dis
ussed by fanciers in relation to the |
ge of numerous birds which are be
lg shown In the chicken classes,
Jerefore a few words on the subjejct i
■ay not be out of place, says a writer |
1 Poultry. 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.

Thursday the attorney general filed
with the clerk of the dl.trlct court a
motion to advance the ca.e for trial
on Novemlier 29. In the u.ual pro

iahed, but there la no doubt that the
bondamen will make u vlgoroua fight
against It. They will urge that they
liavi’ not liud a anfllclent. time In
which to prepare u defetiaa. Ah a mat
ter of fact, they luivc been given u
leeway of Imt five days, the attorney
general having determined to presa
the cuae hal'd.
Attorney Oeneral Hrnjth find lilt
new petition in 111* cuae Immediately
after the laal trial waa dlt missed by
him. The defenae had the legal time
of thirty daya In which to lile an
anawer. Their time expires on No
vember 2.1. five daya before the time
the attorney general aaka to have the
trial art. There la no doubt, that the
bondamen will cull for a reply from
the Htute, and they will therefore want
time In which to ronaider tlila reply.
Hlnce the present term of the dlatrlet
court enda the latter part of Decem
ber, It la auld tbut it la somewhat
questionable whether the trial will
occur I Ilia term. The cuae Is on Judge
Dlcklnaon'a docket thla time.
The new petition which Attorney
General Hmyth filed la tho name aa
the amended petition he offered to
file In the laat trial and then with
drew. Thla sets up but one additional
allegation to tboae In the original pe
tition. Thla offera the fact that the
bondamen signed wuivera after Jan
uary !l, 1*9!;, allowing Hartley to ae
cure additional signatures to the
bond ufter.lt hud been refused by
Governor Holcomb. By this the state
will endeavor to break down the con
tention of the bondamen that, they are
not iluhle. since the bond waa not
legal because It waa not upproved by
Governor Holcomb on the flrHt day
of Hartlcy'a term, January 3, 1895, aa
provided by the atatutea. It waa on
thla point that the attorney general
waa forced to dlHmlaa tho cuae, the
court holding with the bondamen.
Hlnce the wuivera are algned after
January 5, 1H95. It la aald that they
Indicate the bondamen knew then the
bond had not been legally algned and
that the bondamen thereby waived
the illegality.
