SOME INSURANCE NEWS.
Another Special Contract Policy Is
Ruled Out.
Insurance Commissioner Dearth has
notified the Western Mutual Life In
surance company, of Chicago, that It
must discontinue the writing of special
policies in this state. The case, in
the judgment of the commissioner is
similar to that of the State Life of
Indiana, which recently agreed to
suspend the writing of such policies
here after a warning by the Minnesota
department. The Chicago company,
however, claims that under the ruling
of the attorney general of that state,
the policies in question are permis
sible.
Commissioner Dearth left last night
to attend the meeting of the National
Association of Insurance Commission
ers at Old Point Comfort, Va.

THE SEABOARD.
NEW RULE TO BE ENFORCED
BY THE NATIONAL AUTHORITIES
IS SERVED ON THE INLAND
STATES.
COUNTY PLAN FOa HOSPITALS
1 Will Also Be Considered at the
Board Meeting; Which Takes
Place Next Week.
"One of the subjects which will be of
foremost interest at the meeting of the
state board of corrections and chari
ties next week," said Secretary H. H.
Hart yesterday, "will be that pertain
ing to the deportation of insane and
pauper foreigners, who have not been
residents of this state In good faith.
There are many of these. We have
discovered cases where the relatives of
these insane patients have shipped
them over to this country to get rid of
them. Hitherto there has been little
difficulty for the state in disposing of
these cases, as the federal government
has sent for them, in the event that
! the case was reported within a year
! from the arrival of the patient or pau
per in this country. Now, however, the
government has decreed that It will
only act in the return of these patients
when the person is delivered by the of
fended state oil the sea board, which,
in the case of an inland state like Min
nesota, greatly increases the expen c
of returning the incapables to their
homes."
During the last six men-ths *.he state
board of corrections ar.d cha:i is, un
der the law passed last year,, las been
pursuing a vigorous campaign for the
rooting out of these incapables, who
are not entitled to maintain a resi
dence in Minnesota anyway, e^pecislly
as wards of the state costing from $200
to $300 a year annually for their main
tenance. When bhe federal govern
ment looked after the quickly discov
ered cases the expense to tha state was
comparatively light, but now that, in
addition fco.the original expense en
tailed for delivering old occupants of
the insane hospital to the proper
neighborhoods, it devolves on the
state to pay the expenses of transport
ing each to the coast, the expense is
materially increased. Thts will make
a serious inroad into the small
fund, comparatively, allowed the
state board, and the board will have
occasion next week to consider the
best way out of its dilemma.
The steamship companies also em
barrass the department in its efforts
to tranship these indigent and insane
aliens, as they are, or at least have
been, getting the worst of ft at both
ends of the line, and even though a
patient or prisoner is accompanied by
the officer of one of the states, the
companies, if they know the character
of the charge, will refuse to accept the
fare. For this reason, when Secretary
Hart recently took two patients back
to foreign lands, it was necessary for
him to smuggle the men en board ship
without betraying their ailmenka to
the ship's officers.
Another subject that will require the
attention of the board at its next meet-
Ing is the planning ot me visit of the
board to Wisconsin to inquire into the
county plii-n of earing for the insane,
which* has been in vogue In the Badger
state with some success for no little
time. The last legislature authorized
an inquiry looking to the adoption of
a similar system in this state, and it
is possible that the next legislature
may adopt it.

Dix brought up the matter of the new
contract awarded to the St. Paul Gas

wanted the contract and the accom

Orrin Gray, of Grand Rapids, Wis.,
Talks About the Alaskan Gold
Fields.
If the Diamond Jo steamer Sidney
was delayed in her progress down the
i river en route for St. Louis, by the low
i stage of water, it was no fault of the
i St. Paul district of the government
engineering department, for this dis
trict extends only to Lake Pepin,
whereas the Sidney was troubled by
low water near La Crosse.
This statement is made upon the au
thority of Col. W. A. Jones, the govern
ment engineer at St. Paul, who return
| ed home yesterday, after having spent
the entire summer on the New England
I coast, where he went in search of bet
ter health. Col. Jones has been trans
ferred by the president, as already
i chronicled in the Globe, to the Bal
i timore district, and will be succeeded
! in command of this district by Capt.
I Fred Abbott, now in charge of the dis
trict at Charleston, S. C, Sept 1.
Capt, Abbott wiTl arrive in St. Paul
Iby the middle of the month. Speaking
of the river last night at the Mer
chants' hotel, Col. Jones explained that
it is customary to open the five reser
voirs in this district about the middle
of August, but that owing to the high
i stage of water at that time it was not
done. The middle of August, when the
river is usually low, found it this year
i quite high, owing to the fact that there
were two floods, the spring flood in
May, and the second one during July,
which, together, made much trouble for
people living on low country near the
Mississippi.
Now, however, the river is getting
a bit low. and in a short time Col.
Jones will order the sluices raised at
the resepvoirs at Leech lake, Winnibi
goshish, Pokegama, Sandy take and
| Pine river.
They will not be opened at the same
time, but in such a way as to deliver
the water to St. Paul at about the
same time. This will be accomplished
by first delivering the water from
Leech lake and Winnibigoshish into
Pokegama, and then releasing the
water from the latter. A day later
Sandy lake will be opened, and two
days after that Pine river will be
opened.
This move will have the effect of
raising the water at St. Paul about a
foot, and it will remain at that height
until winter comes and the river
freezes up.
The new reservoir at Gull lake, near
Brainerd. is not yet begun, owing to
the provision of the law, which pro
vides that no work shall be commenc-
I ed until all the land necessary is se
cured. At Gull lake there are several
cases where the larfd is owned by
minor heirs, etc., and some time will
be required to-secure- it. Probably no
work will bo done other than securing
this land until spring.

"Alaska's gold fields are great: the
half has not been told concerning
them, but no one here can have any
idea of the hardships and perils in
volved in a trip to them."
The speaker was Orrin Gray, a
prominent and respected citizen of
Grand Rapids, Wis., who stopped at
the Globe hotel last night on his way
home from the Klondike. Mr. Gray is
a man well along in years, and went
to Alaska last spring to look after
his two sons, Onnie and Albert, the
latter having left for Klondike a year
■ ago, with a "partner." Albert and his
! partner took up claims side by side
j and were very successful, finally pur
chasiHg interests in adjoining claims,
so that now they are "Klondike
princes." Albert came down a short
time ago, just about two weeks in
advance of his father, and carried $25.
--000 in gold dust, besides which his
claims are worth fully $100,000 more.
He will return te Alaska this winter.
Mr. Gray, the senior, arrived in Seat
tle on the steamer Portland Sunday
■ morning, and although he spent but
a comparatively short time in the gold
j country, he brought out a good-sized
I bag of dust and proposes to return
j there, but not to engage in mining. He
I will interest men, if he can. in the
' necessity of better transportation fa
cilities, "and has other business mat
ters on foot. He left St. Michael's
July 14, on the Portla»d. the last boat
of the season. On it. as passengers,
were eighteen Klondike miners who
brought out a snug little wad of
wealth, aggregating nearly $400,000.
The luckiest one in the party parried
$40,000, representing 1 a year's toil.
"The great trouble with the majority
of the people is that they think they
can go "to the Klondike and shovel up
gold dust and nuggets by the pailful,"
continued Mr. Gray, "when the fact is,
they have to work mighty hard for it.
They have to sink a shaft and do not.
strike it rich until they get nearly
down to bed rock. Many of ihem will
get rich; many more of them will have
hard work to get along, but I will say
this* much, that if a man will work
hard he can get along all right. Day
wages at Dawson range from $10 to $15
a day. The grub is poor and hard to
get sometimes, although there is a
great plenty for all the people in Daw
son City this winter. The prices are
not so high, either, flour being only
$12 per 100 pounds, and bacon forty
■ cents a pound. Canned goods and
delicacies are much higher* in propor
tion, while some eggs, which were
brought in overland, sold for $1 a
piece. Absolutely nothing is raised
there; it is* the most dismal, desolate
leo-king place I ever saw.
"There is a lot of talk about the
claims on the KPOndike all being taken
up, but there is nothing to that story.'
i The nearest claim to Dawson is seven
; miles from town, and from that they
run out on all the little streams tribu
tary to the Klondike river, for miles,
: the farthest being nearly forty-five
I miles away from the city, and there
iis every evidence that gold in un
limited quantities can be found far
above that. The' only trouble is that
it is difficult to transport provisions so
far;' a man would have to eat all that
he could carry on such a long trip, but
in the winter, with dog sledges, he can 1
get enough otit to his claim to last
several months. -
"A year agp claims cowld be pur
chased close to Dawson for $500; now
they are worth $75,000 to $100,000, and
no one wants to sell.
"Last spring the people in Da»wson
City ran pretty short of provisions, the
steamers being caught in the ice and
unable to get in until June, but a
number of men who had rushed to the
mines by way of Dyea and Skaguay,
carried enough to help out until the
boats arrived. The great trouble with
the Alaska and Weare transportation
companies is that they don't carry pro
visions in fast enough; they take lots
of whisky when they should be carry
ing more substantial freight.
"As might be expected, the mall
facilities are very irregular, although
, I understand they are figuring on mak-
Ing a monthly mall service. Just to
show you how far they were behind
the times, they didn't know whether
McKinley or Bryan was president un
til last June. The mails will not carry
newspapers and when one does make
its appearance m {he town you may
imagine that it is passed around pret
ty lively.
"Dawson City has a poulation of
about 3,500 persons, the greater part
of whom are transients, looking to get
to mining as soon as possible. There
are about 500 miners in the vicinity.
The town is pretty wild, I can tell
you, with gambling houses and sa
lcons on every hand. Women of easy
virtue are also numerous — and brazen,
flaunting their shame in a very con
spicuous manner. More of them are
flocking in by every steamer. There
is one remarkable feature about the
place, though, there is very little dis
turbance there. During all the time
I was in Dawson I never saw a quar
rel or heard of any robbery.
"There must be thousands of peo
ple bound for Klondike^ now, but few
of them, I should say not Over fifty,
will get there this winter. The best
time to start is to leave the States
along in February. My advice to all
who may contemplate going there Is
'don't,' unless you are in perfect
health, have a strong determination
and are prepared for all sorts of pri
vations."

these beats have met with any difficulty this
season owing to the low stage of water.

CG.tf.llOT FOR SALE
VICE PRESIDENT OPPENHEIM
TALKS ABOUT THE REVAMPED
RUMOR.
ROAD, HE SAYS, DOING WELL
THE OWNERS OF THE PROPERTY
ARE PLEASED WITH THEIR
HOLDINGS.
PARTY NOW OUT ON THE LIKE
Nearly All Interested in It Instead
of New York Magnates, as Re
ported in Chicago.
The story that the Chfeago Great
Western railroad is to be consolidated
with some transcontinental line, It ap
pears, will not down, despite official
denials of it. The Chicago papers re
vive the yarn, this time with some va
riations. Chief of these is that it is
the Northern Pacific ' with which the
interests of the Chicago line are to
be linked.
The fact that some of the officers and
stockholders of the Chicago Great
Western with some of their friends
have been making a trip over the line,
gave rise to the rumor that a lot of
the Eastern magnates, most of them
interested in Northern Pacific matters,
were leaving Chicago for a look at the
road in question. In.pne paper a list of
these railroaders and financiers was In
cluded. The single particle of founda
tion for the tale at all seems to arise
out of the presence in the Chicago
Great Western ternitory of a number of
prominent persons interested in the
Chicago Great Western road, the only
ones mentioned above being President
Stickney and Mr. Auerba'ch. The
gentlemen actually in the party were
Frederick Weyerhauser, the lumber
man; Mr. Wright, of Saginaw; Maurrce
Auerbach, Albert Lin-deke, of Lindeke,
Warner & Schurmeier; Kenneth Clark,
Judge J. W. Lusk, H. E. Fletcher, of
Minneapolis; Andrew Crawford, of Chi
cago, and President Stickney, of the
Chicago Great Western.
Ansel Oppenheim, vice president of
the road, returned home from Chicago
yesterday, and when asked last night
regarding the story that the Chicago
Great Western had been practically
consolidated with some other line, had
this to say:
If there is any arrangement of this
kind I am not aware of it. I think it
would be necessary to consult, m-e be
fore such a deal could be made. Any
sale of our road would probably be of
most advantage to the buyer. The
Chicago Great Western is doing a
good business, and the owners of the
property are pleased with their hold
ings. I know of no dcs-ire on their
part to part with their property. It Is
no wonder such a deal should be
talked of when the Chicago and North
western railway is supposed to control
the reorganization of the Union Pa
cific. The Burlington, the St. Paul,
and the Northwestern aregeneraily ex
tending their lines into the territory of
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific. Under the circumstances it is
but natural to suppose that the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail
ways would take measures to protect
their in-terests, and as the Chicago
Great Western has lints from St. Paul
both to Chicago and the Missouri
river, it might be looked upon as their
most feasible connection."
Mr. Oppenheim added that the road
had shown an increase in earnings
during the last halfmonth of Augnstcf
over $27,00-0, as against the same time
last year, while for the entire month
the increase was nearly $70,000. The
party will return home tomorrow.
HOTEL FOR FORT GET THERE.
Help and Fairnitvrc for It Pass
ThronK'h St. Paul.
The Northwestern Transportation and Trad
ing company yesterday sent through St. Paul
on their way to the Alaska gold fields a hand
ful ofttheir sturdy representatives whose miss
ion"it is to build and conduct the "Get
There" hotel, which is to be situated on the
site of Fort Get Inhere, on St. Michael's •
island, some distance from the Yukon river.
In the party are Charles B. Barber, J. W. [
Wilson, Joseph Barber a"nd his wife. Harry
Thay. a chef; N. I). Douglas, builder and
architect and Bob Geist.
Some eight car loads of furniture, etc.,
passed through here via the Northern Pa
cific, which will be used In the new hotel. The
hotel, which will be put together in "knock
down" form in Seattle, will contain nearly I
half a million feet of lumber, and will be buiH
in the form of a stocltade with aceommoda- ]
tions for not less than 200 people, who have
bought the transportation and accommodation
tickets of the company.
Mr Barber says from the ccmer or tne i
stockade he will' float the stars and stripes j
while at the corners will be the British and j
Russian flags. The party expects to reach St.
Michael's island by Sept. 30, and the stockade
hotel will be ready for occupancy a. moatfi
after that.

COAST COMMISSIONS.
Trouble Started by the Union Pa
cific on the Increase.
CHICAGO, Sept. 3.— The trouble over the
payment of commissions on North Pacific
coast business, which was started some time
ago by the Union Pacific, is on the inrrease.
The commission rate made by the Union Pa
cific at the outset was $5 per ticket, and now
it Is double that amount, and all roads are
paying It. The demoralization is hurting the
roads East of the Missouri river, but they are
.powerless to protect themselves at present.
They have, however, started a movement for
the reorganization of the Transcontinental
Passenger association, being of the opinion
that an agreement to restore and maintain
rates is the only thing that will put an end
to the demoralization. No definite date has aa
yet been set for the meeting, but it is likely
that it will be held in thl6 city about Sept 20.
