WHITE PASS MAY CON'  NECT WITH WINDY ARM  Law-  UNPACKED SALMON  ON FRASER RIVER.  A Vancouver despatch says: There  is uncased salmon lying at the Fraser River canneries sufficient to fill at  least 100,0'flO cases, which" cannot be  packed for the reason that boxes can  not be obtained. In other words,  there is a box famine in the land as  far as salmon-canning interest's arc  concerned. Never'Th the history of  packing on the Fraser has si:ch a  shortage of boxes  been felt.-  Boxmaking plants all over the coun  try are working at. f uncapacity in a  wild endeavor to supply the domuiwl,  and even the canners themselves are  making boxes at the canneries, and  as soon as one has teen knocked into  shape it is filled with salmon.  The great rush for boxes is caused  by the pressure    on canners to turn  over their pack to purchasers at the  earliest possible date.  Down at the mo'ulh of the Eraser  where  boxes are being made at   the  canneries  scows   lie alongside       the  whanes  waiting  for .su.-goes,  and  as  fast    -s a scow or small steamer     is  loaded   dissent around  to   th* port,  to discharge so that the salmon niny  be shipped  as  soon as possible-  Early in the season canners did not  order   a full   supply   ������f |,oxesl   for the  reason   that   they   had   grave  doubts  concerning tj������ passible size of     the  pack,  and did not  wish   to  be loaded  up with  boxes which they could   not  use.    As the season advanced ami     a  large pack coiivinciiced   to  materialize  larger  orders were  placed  with    the  boxinaivcrs,   but  as  between   750,1100  and SOOjOOO cases were required     to  care for the Eraser pack alone,    the  box  lactone* could  not  turn mil the  jf may  be a week or two yet before  supply fast enough.

A. B.  Newell, general  manager  of the While, Pass,  who has  just returned  from the North.  '���������From all accounts there arc some  very rich mineral properties at Windy  Arm, and there is every reason to  suppose, that there will he a great  mining camp theie, but, as I have said  sufficient development work has not  yet been done to prove the possibilities.  "Do I think that the Klonidke  camp is on the wan? No, most certainly I do not, and I think that the  gold production "there will remain at  about the same output as t-his year  for many years to come. The output  this season is reckoned at approximately $0,500,000, which is a decrease of about $3,000,000 from the  total production  of 1S04..  "I account for the decrease'Tm the  gold output in two ways, the'first of  which is that individual minine; oper-  ties- are passing into the hands      o������  large mining corporations  with the  result    that    many  of  the absorbed  claims are not being worked.    <These  claims will l.c worked  in time     and  the gold .oanno* get away from therri  so ultimately they will  give up their  wealth.   The second P3ason,Ior   the '  decrease is that many claims cannot  he    worked    at a profit until some  comprehensive scheme  for supplying  water is adopted throughout the district.      With plenty  of. water  many  claims  now  non-producers  will       be  worked to material advantage.  "I do not by any means think that  the gold production of the Klondike  will steadily decrease from this time  on. My opinion is that the camp  has reached'a settled level, which it  will maintain for years to come. It  may! be possible that the cream has  ^een skimmed off'.but the milk will  remain  and that is-what counts."  Mr. Newell stated that this season  his roatt handled more tonnar.e than  it did last year, and during the summer  manv  improvements  were  made  to the     track and roadbed between  Skagway and White Horse.

Our Big Special,  Each  $I.OO  A German doctor has discovered a  disease winch he terms "kuchenkoi-  ler." Its symptoms have long been  recognized but never Bcfoic classified.  Ignorance has been wont to trace it  lo bad temper and m aggravated instances lo fire the victim. These  symptoms arc manifest when the cook  bangs lhe kettle on the range as she  ' kicks the cat beneath it orders the  mistress out of the kitchen, or dis-  chaiges herself peremptorily when the  house is full or guests- Do not chide  her then. Do her not the injustice lo  accuse her or having a mean disposition. Dodge ncr missiles with a smile  and speak gently, not as to the erring hut as to the unfortunate. For  the cook has been seized with 'kuch-  cnkoiicr.  The    ailment  is  a form  of hysteria  variously induced.   It may  be caused  by thecr weariness, by a lack of promptitude in the delivery of coal or gro.  cerics.     A burnt steak stimulates the  kuokenkoiier  microbe to maiingc   activity. The transfer of the regular  policeman to a, new  beat has had the  same effect;     but rain on the weekly  day off,  or the   sudden appearance of  company     for dmncr may he the explanation    Kuckcnkoiier, while in  the  main the     perquisite of the cook, as  housemaid's     Knee is the property of  a different menial, may extend io oth-  , er members oi  attaches of the family.  Anybody     coining near     the afflicted  ccok  is likely   lo calch  it.  especially  al  the critical     moment when the patient  seels relief  by  smashing  things.  Of course     the ailment may reach a  stage where cure     is not possible, in  which case the only possible course is  lo pay the cook and let her go; but  taken  in its earlier  development some  thuig of a remedial nature may be applied.   A  little     judicious  praise,  an  increase in wages,      reasonable  privileges and pleasing  quarters have been  known to     rout the sinister kuchen-  koiier germ.      At  any rate,  thecook  'has found'a. friend ni the doctor, who  would not rebuke     her,   but tenderly  reel hei     pulse and take her tempera-  lure. ���������Philadelphia Ledger.

It is supposed that our pilgrim fathers, roaming through the woods in search of  game for their first Thanksgiving  spread, beard the oocoocoo calling in  the familiar tones of our domesticated  fowlj "Turk, turk, turk."

In  1889  Farrell  removed  to Tync-shic,  and there he remained.  In several  instances his pluck      anfi  heroism  have had happy endings.   He  saved two boys,   who had  fallen into  a hole  while wading jn the  Derwent,  and on many occasions he has plunged  in to rescue  persons who      were  drowning.    One such example jncarly  claimed his  life as forfeit. In  diving  he went too deep, and his head     became fast in tho clay.   But he managed to extricate himself  wihh  dillicul-  ty. His exertions   brought  on exhaustion, and the extended hand" ot      a  spectator  grippcyl  lum  only  just     in  time.  A few weeks   since  Farrell   accomplished   the feat of his  life.       A  child fell  out of a boat' into the river  at Blaydon Haughs.' Farrell took   a  running    leap  over'some  fishermen's  nets, dropped  ten   feet 011  icT"some ,  boulders and seized hold of the youi^  stei.   In   the excitement  ol   the   moment- another cli.ld fell  in.    Farrell,,  holding the first one out ,of the water, swam      to  the assis-lince of the  second'.  With both''held up he reached   the shore.  Up   to now     Farrell's deeds have  been unrewarded.     Once a colletffcion  of   id was handed, to him. Now, how  ever, his deeds are to be brought to  the notice of the Humane Society.  u  He  Told  the  Truth.

He brought borne a large price  which he had got for it His master  was surprised and said, "Are you sure  you told all about her?" "Bedad, I did,  sir," said the herdsman. "He asked me  whether she was a good milker. 'Be-  gorra,. sir,' saj's I, 'it's you'd be tired  milking her.' "���������"Seventy Years of  Irish Life."  FIRST AVENUE  'PHONE 2-4.  W. SILER.

A Chicago Girl recently accomplish  ed the most remarkable feat in  mountain. climL'ing ever achieved ������by  a woman in the Swiss Alps. The girl  is Miss Edith J-.cc Raker, - daughter of  Afr. and Mrs. Edward p. Baker. The  feat was the ascent of the Breithorn  13,777 feet, in 24 houis, With only a  single gullo.  Many other women  have attempted  the ascent of the Breithorn, but   all  of them have teen obliged by      the  rigors of the climb' to take two days  for  the  feat.    Miss   Baker distanced  several paities of> women making;^he  leiasurly   ascent,   and,   spurning       a  night's  sleep  at   the half-way  house,  finished  in  the recorjrl  time of   ' the  best masculine mountaineers.        ,-,.,  Iii a letter to a Chicago ��������� friend Miss  Baker described the ascent, which she  ma/dc on September 10. Leaving Zer-  ma'tt she  reached  the Theodule    Ca-  bane on the     Theodule pass,  10,300  feet.   To  the astonishment of    : the ,  guide the  girl  cover:*!  this distance  in a little more than six hoiursi, most-  ���������women taking an enure day to climb  that far.

Before attempting the Breithorn,  Miss Baker climbed the Ridlchorn  from the-Corner glacier. This ascent is an easy one, but to give it  some'excitement M.t'gjtrl descended  to the glacier, where the rock work  begins.
