After a short residence there, they moved to Sehome, where they resided for several years. For the past thirty of more yean their home has been at Doe Bay.

An Interesting Letter Containing Mews £from Some of Our Old Residents—The General Outlook. Skaqway, Alaska, April 14,1898. Editor Islander.—Dear Sir: As San Jaun is fairly well represented in this part of Alaska I thought a "squib" might be welcome, especially to those of your readers who have relatives and friends here. Ido not think I have become a chronic liar since I came up the Skag way trail, but the bactaera which super induces this disease are so plentiful, both on "Dead Horse trail" and "Chilkoot pass," that if a person should catch a slight cold and be compelled to breathe through his mouth for ever so short a time he would be irretrievably lost to his friends so far as truth and veracity would concern the aforesaid friends. I was over to Dyea, today, to see our old friend John Wold, aud he was complaining of a slight cold and I found it necessary to make very perceptable allowance for his state ments, especially when he was speaking of things "Dyea." Speaking of Dyea, I will say Dyea is a very nice place, in fact it is so nice that you do not want to leave it, especially when there is a wind blow ing up the Canal, and you have to walk a couple of mile down the beach and there hire a small boat to take you out to a steamer and help you in the bargain. I have been on the trail ever since I came up. When Dr. Kelly went to Seat tle he said if I would help Fred Knight with their outfit they would take our out fit over with their horse. We went over the Bennett trail to the "Log Cabin," and from there we went to Lake Tagash, over the Tochie trail, and got everything to Lake Tagash abont the 24th hist. Fred and I brought Dr. Kelley's horse back to Skagway, Wednesday, and he will return to Tagash on the 3rd mst; Tom is also go ing back with me. Fred and Doc will build a boat at Tagash and go down the river first as soon as the ice breaks up, which will be about the middle of May. Tom and I expect to remain at Tagish for some time. I do not think we will go down the river. As to hardships, we have endured none to make one inured to such thinge wince. The coldest weather we had on this side of the summit was about the middle of February, when the thermometer reached 35 deg. below and very windy, and for four days no one crossed the summit. At this time it was 50 deg. below at Tagash and some lives were lost oa both trails. Dr. and Mrs. Kelly overtook us at Mid dle lake. Mrs. Kelly say* that so far she has endured much less hardships than she anticipated and that she is feeling better than when she left San Francisco. She makes the best of the inconveniences of camp lite and has no doubt already prolonged the lives of at least three gold hunters whose digestive organs might soon have been impaired from eating their own cooking. Joe Woods and five other . men, from lien ton, are camped near us, on their way down the river. George Mullis is working at Sheep Camp, on the Dyea trail. Tom lias been at Dyea. but is going out to Tagash. John Wold is at Dyea, and George 1 liggins is agent for a steam boat company at Dyea. It was not until yesterday, when I returned to Skagway, that I learned that Win. Gill was a passenger on the ill-fated Clara Nevada. Chas. Phelps saw him as he was going aboard. Dyea and Skagway have, perhaps, seen their best days. But few people coining in on the steamers. I think that the peo ple who go in later will mostly go via St. Michael's. There is a terrible jam on both trails. The rivers and lakes are be ginning to break and Jthe sledding will soon be gone. Horses are selling for good prices, and hay, feed and lumber are selling for reasonable prices in Skagway. I have seen men begging for oats, at $15 per sack, and hay, and hay, for 20 cents per pound, at the lakes. As regards White pass will say it is an ideal pass for a wagon road and the wagon road 18 fairly good, as far as it goes, but it does not go far enough.ll. R. J. Paxon.

The present is the banner year for foreign shipments of our agricultural surplus. The tendency is naturally to relative increase of the products of manufactures. Instead of four-fifths agricultural, as in former years, lately two-thirds has been the proportion; but for seven months of the present fiscal year, the proportion has risen to 71.82 per cent, near the proportion o" twenty years ago, and the value is in advance of all previous records. In these seyen months it already exceeds the total for five full years since 1875, and from that date to* 1890 only three years show a total that is ten per cent above the figures for seven months of the present year. It is quite extraor dinary, and invalidates the prophetic wisdom of those who predicted a fall off'of cereal exports, and a decline of all agricultural exports in retaliation for our national revenue system. For eigners buy our products when they must have them, and they only ex clude them—as in tiie case of Germany and other countries, particularly in pork products—when they whish to en courage home production and become self-supporting, which is> their right, unless they make false and injurious pretenses for such exclusion. The last month of the seven is even greater than the average, amounting to $79, --045,101, or 74.05 per cent. The record is as follows: Value. Per cent. Products of agriculture.... (507,714,899 71.89 " " manufactures, 159,341.039 »-57 " " mining 11.846,661 1.67 " " flour 31,664,140 3.06 " " fisheries 4.<>75.37i o-S* Miscellaneous. »,7'7.59« °-a 5 T0ta1.... $706,569,711 100.00 There is an increase in the total value, but not in the proportion of manufactures. The excess of exports ever imports is about $360,000,000, which is more than the value of all imports. At this rate, the excess for the year will be greater than the sum of all our exports 25 years ago.—The Country Gentleman. ' , ' Tw» Mllltoma a Tear.

TWO VALUABLE BOOKS. New, Interesting and Instructive—"Th* K*rth Girdled," "The Gem Cyclopedia of Universal Knowledge." "The Earth Girdled" is an eloquent record of Rev. T. De ' Witt Talmage's famous journey around the. world, which he undertook for the avowed purpose of studying the religious beliefs of the least civilized nations of the east. Such a jour ney naturally led him among the most curious ■ and remarkable people now in existence, away from the beaten paths usually followed by other travelers; so that what he saw and has so eloquently described is new and wonderfully enter taining. ' :_■ Dr. mage'a line of travel enabled him to study the characteristics of the Hawaiian!!, Samoans, Figians, Maoris, Bushmen and other wild people of the South Sea, who were so recently the worst classes of canibals. He also ■ visited the wonders of India, studied her people . and their customs, and thence passed through Egypt,Syria,'ltaly, Europe, the ' British Isles and Russia, collecting the notes inci dents and illustrations out of which this grand work • has been -; created. "The Earth Girdled" surpasses all other books in the extent and character of its informa tion about the world and its people. It is issued in \ the most \ superb style of the book makers art, contains over 500 extra large quarto pages, with 400 photographic reproductions of the places and people visited by Dr. Talmage; also eight superb colored plates made by the new color pro cess, so generally admired for their ac curacy and beauty. ' " ;. ■ Dr. Talmage is acknowledged to be the most lucid descriptive writer of the age. "The Earth Griddled," the latest produc tion of his facial pen, is the most vigorous work of his life. He wrote it after seeing things with his own eyes. ■ Too much can not be said in praise of this the finest pro duction of the world's greatest and most renowned descriptive writer. "The Gem * Cyclopedia 'i of Universal Knowledge" is the book of the times and is just what its title indicates. It is a handsomely bound book of over 700 pages and the amount of useful and practical in formation contained within its pages make it a veritable library. The work is hand somely illustrated . with between 300 and 400 fine engravings, and if there is any thing new under the sun which may not be found within its covers,that thing must have been discovered since the day of its publication, some time last year. The matters treated in this symposium of practical knowledge may be stated briefly as follows: It is truthfully introduced to the public as a "treasury of information for every day use, and contains instructions in the use of the English ; language, elncution, qenmansiiip, corespondence, social eti puette, bookkeeping, commercial and legal forms, courtship, marriage and social life, good - health and I how to pre serve it, gymnastics, sports and pastimes, indoor occupations and amusements, helps for • housekeepers, cultivation of flowers, etc., historical and statistical in formation of the countries of the world, latest discoveries in electrieity,astronomy; light and heat, astrology, phrenology, etc, etc., dictionary of dates and handy facts, tables of weights and measures, etc. Henry Davenport Northrop, the author of this wonderful book, is ' also author of the "Story of the New World," "Golden Manual," etc. v ";* These two valuable books are now be ing introduced to the people of San Juan county by Rev. Ira A. Mills, formerly pastor of the M. E. church at East Sound, who represents the H. Moore Publish ing Company, of Chicago, and will be glad to show just what these two publica tions contain.. • These books are only obtainable from the authorized representative of the com pany. No one should miss the opportunity to secure either one or both of these books. They are both profusely illustrated, brinted on good paper and handsomely and substantially bound, and will make a valuable acquisition to anyone's library.
