In reply to our editorial note of last week Dr. Monro, in a letter published elsewhere, disclaims anv responsibility for the care of the destitute'sick in this district. He '���points out the act which instructs him in his official duties. Mr. Graham, we are informed, is prepared--to act on the part of the government, and will do a certain amount to insure the proper care of these people. But while he is prepared to assist he will not undertake the full responsibility and investigate all cases. Now that the citizens of the town know the exact i 1 position of the officials they should take immediate action and organize ,11 representative committee, whose duty ,it shall be to take charge of all funds donated and see that they are dispensed in a proper manner. While we believe that it is the duty of the citizens to see that none suffer for want of care, they should not be called upon to provide for people who'are in'a position to pay. By careful investigation on the part of a committee this "can be avoided. It is urged in some quarters that many of these people are destitute before they depart for this' district, and it is asked should tlie citizens or government be compelled to provide relief for them. The foregoing may be true, yet we cannot afford to have it go out to the world that the sick have died for want of care, as has been the case recently. Therefore, citizens, give as your means will allow. government, a word or two 'might- bo said. \\lont of the patients .troated there were those who were unfortunate' enough.to lie without available funds when taken ill aud hud to be taken there, for the simple reason thut they could not get in anywhere else. Such patients I treated gratuitously. The new hospital on the corner of Traynor uud Third streets is a private institution, built with private funds and not supported to the extent of a five cent, piece by the Provincial Government or civic authorities. ��� Before indigent cases will be admitted to the Atlin City General Hospital a guarantee must be given either by the Government or a reliable committee of the citizens thut the cost of maintaining,these patients will be defrayed or else they cannot be taken in. The cost of maintaining an institution ot this kind will not be less than from ���jRlll) to SSIKI per mouth. If half or more of the entire number of patients were unable to pny for their hare hospital care, where would the hospital be? In the hole, of course. A first class hospital-trained nurse is now on her way iu here to take charge uud before another week passes over the hospital will bo ready to receive patients. In a new country like this, so fur removed from the outside world and where it takes 'weeks or even months to got word down to und back 'troni the government, valuable time is apt to be lost before something is done iu the way of alleviating the deserving sick and destitute, unless the citizens generally take hold of the mutter und put this work ou u sound tinuuciul basis. This is not the work ot one muii, nor should the burden fall upon a few , but it is the duty of every citizen to assist iu some way iu caring for the destitute sick iu our midst. A. S.

To the Editor of the Claim : Sir,���1 was glad to see your article draw - ing attention to the sanitary question of this city in your last insue. And iu endorsing all you suid I think that we should grapple with the disease before we try to find a cure���und to speak plainly the disease lies in people being huddled together without conveniences ot any kind. And this too on waterfront makes the question most grave, and should betaken up by the health officer without a moment's delay. Now, sir, on every-'large civilized goldtaeld people on the trail are not allow ed to camp in the tow n proper, but are compelled to go ou the outskirts und why s.ioulil teamsters and others be allowed to camp all along tne lake front, not only by their actions polluting tlie water, but disgustingly exposing tnemselves without or- dinury sense of decency thut it is not safe for a decent woman to go outside her door.

Pine City, Sunday, April 111).—(By horse cable.)—Two men started out for Pine City 011 Sunday, one on evangelization and the other on bothersome insistence—subscription to the Atlin ClMlM. I don't know- hovv'the rev. gentleman "punned" out; he didn't .take mo into his confidence. One member of tho congregation told me that silver wus so plentiful in Pino City that the recipient of the collection had winked his wish ut its abolition and huve gold dust ia its stead. And then again'it was to bulky for transit by horso. "If we 'are going to keep out alinns we should likewise keep out the baser alien money and make the medium gold," he concluded. As to subscriptions f did nobly. 1 did more business than business did me. Hv a thorough canvas-, I'found out thoex- uct number of Stickmu ''stickers" tempting fortune by the 'all-Canadian route to the moon. They number two or throe, good fellows all, but they overloaded themselves vv ith pvapoi ated vegetables. They also mastered the "verb" to perfection. A little H by 1(1 tent, between two log cabins, n smokeless chimney and a log to bar eu- truueo told the world that silence wus within and no answer came .to the knock when jour correspondent sought news about the Pine Citj tragedy. Passers bj- referred me to another tpnt and there I found Mrs. Freeman. "I take exception to the statement thut deceased vv as liv ing w ith me at Pine Cit.v," she hnid, at the same time kicking a box w hereon a stove rested. "He wus not. I huve been living alone ever since vve mutually agreed to separate three years ago. We separated ut Skuguaj'. We couldn't get along together. He went south to California uud T came to the Summit. He is a native of Modoc, Cal., and :i'l years of utxe, and has n brother in Skuguay. He located some claims on Pine and Spruce last year and disposed of a half interest to people in Dyea. The first I knevv of his presence in the country was one day last week, w hile on my vvuj to Atlin. T met him at the foot of the Big Hill. So sudden und unexpected w us the meeting thut for the nonce T forgot myself and -spoke first. He spoke also. We both conversed uud then he asked me to sit dow u ou the edge of the road and talk over old times. I told him he wus not a fit man for any woman to sit dow n vv ith ou u road's edge. He had better go to tow ii. He went vv ith me to Atlin. I left him there and came back thut evening. Next day he came to Pine City, and asked to be allowed to enter m> tent. I refused. I told him that I wanted to be left in peace; that the tent was mine and did not vv ant to see him any more. He went awaj und in about an hour he returned. This time he did not vv ait for an invitation. He stepped iu and us he 'did he suid: 'So jou won't let nip in, eh: well it's ull off, aud us he suid this he pulled u gun out of his pocket, placed it over his left nipple und fell backward, deud."

"Come in," lie said, "and let us become acquainted. Pine City is the name of this burg and not Discovery, as published in Thk Claim." He brought out one of the original surveys uud bucked up vv hut he suid. I miidp n note of that and in my future w ritiugs I'll write it Pine City.

I Atliuuted him. '■I'm an alien and can't buy a Claim," was another. "They have taken all mj claims und I've no surety on'this." "A year's subscription is" too tar uwuj," said a woman with her head out of a tent. "I may be dead by thut. time."
