May Build.\n. The London (Eng.) Chronicle states\nthat a large deputation headed by former Agent General Beeton oi British\nColumbia, waited recently upon Sir\nWilfred Latirier. Canadian premier,\nand urged upon him the exped'eney of\nopening up a route to the Yukon district.\nFollowing closely upon this comes a\nMontreal correspondent saying- that\nSir Wm. Van Home states that the discoveries in Klondike would probably\nlead to an extension of the Calgary and\nEdmonton branch to Athabasca Landing, thus reducing tho land route from\nthat point to l\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD'ort MacPhorson, near\nthe mouth of tho Mackenzie river to\none portage loss than twenty miles. It\nis stated hy direct route from Edmonton, the Landing can lie reached hy\nforty miles of track, but as it is not\nprobable tho Saskatchewan can be\ncrossed at Edmonton, the president of\nthe C. P. K. launder the impression,\nfrom fifty to stxy miles of railway will\nhave to be built. There can bo little\ndoubt if the Klondike con ti nuns to\nshow up well, the rails of the C. P. R.\nwill reach Athabasca Landing before\nthe end of next summer.\nCommenting upon this route the*\nCalgary Bera'd says that until a short\ntime ago a person,reading the accounts\nof the Yukon gold fluids, would have\nthought that tbe only way of reaching\nthe interior of the upper Yukon basin\nwas by sea to Juneau nnd thence across\nthe mountains, or to Norton inlet and\nSt. Michaels and up the Yukon river.\nHowever, in view of the fact that\nthere is yet another route to the Yukon entirely through Canadian territory\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDa route whieh, in bygone years,\nthe Hudson Bay company used to reach\nFort Yukon prior to the United States\ntaking possession of Alaska\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDwe may\nhazard the opinion that in the near\nfuturo none ofthe routes via Vancouver and .lunoau will offer- any attraction to Intending prospectors and minors. The route we refer to is via Athabasca Landing or Peace River Lauding. It is free from the dangers attendant upon sen passages and mountain travelling; it will be open all the\nyear round: it is shorter than either of\nthe others, and it can he put ln fit condition for traffic at very little expense.\nThree Variations oi this Route,\nThe Revelstoke Herald says that in\nconnection with tho proposed establishment of an overland route from Edmonton to Klondike it may bo noted\nthat there are three feasible courses,\nall starting from the Athabasca Land-\niug about HO miles northeast, of Edmonton on the Athabasca river.\ni The first oourse follows the route of\nthe Hudson's Bay steamers from tho\nLanding almost to the mouth of the\nMackenzie, thence turning west and\nfollowing up tho Peel river .'Iii miles to\nFort Macpherson. from which point a\nportage of 7(10 miles reaches La Pierre\nHouse on the Porcupine, a tributary of\nthe Yukon Itself. This is a long,\nround about route, only a little short of\n8,000 miles, though it htlB the advantage of being by water navigable by\nsteamer and bout all tho way except\nthe B0 miles between Edmonton and\nAthabasca Lauding, which aro now\nconnected by a fairly good wagon road,\nand will next summer, If Mr. Vun\nHome is as good as bis word, bo joined\nby a railway. This route has the further disadvantage that the Porcupine,\nafter a course of 400 miles from Macpherson, flows into the Yukon about\n+0(i miles below Klondike.\nThe second variation of this route\nwould bo the same us the first as far as\nFort Simpson, where the Mackenzie\nwould bo left for the Liard river,\nwhich is navigable by boat as far as\nFort Liard. Beyond this point the\nnavigation of.the Liard is very difficult,\nthough the Hudson's Bay voyageurs\nhave made the trip often enough across\nthe divide to the Polly and thence to\nFort Selkirk, where the Lewis and the\nPelly join and form the Yukon.\nBut the variation of this route which\nIIS'DBX TO THIS WEEK'S f.SSIIK.\nFIRST PAGE- .\nVet Another Route,\nThe Crow's Nest Railway.\nTin: Reno Group.\nKindergarten-Primary School Opened.\nLumber for Nelson.\nTelephone for The Ruth.\nCol.

The whole journey\nfrom tho Landing to the Pelly would\nby this way bo about 900 miles over a\ncountry partly prairie and partly lightly timbered. The road from the Landing to Peace river is already in use\nand the balance to the Pelly could easily be constructed.

Being asked if Mr.\nIleinze had not made as good an oiler\non freight rates, lie answered, \"Yes;\nwhen he thought lie was forced to it.\nBut we don't care to be at his mercy in\nsuch matters. He lias already made\nus a reduction from *ll to $8,50 per ton\nfor freight and smelter treatment, and\nwe may give him enough at that figure\nto keep his Trail smelter running.\"\n-. .io Koo on American Ores.\nWhen asked what his company\nwould do if the Canadian government\nshould put practically a prohibitive export duty ou ore, he replied: \"Well,\nwo thought of all that aud concluded\nthat if we couldn't run the Northport\nsmelter ou I.e Roi ore, we could conduct it as a customs smelter on American ores. The fact is, Northport is\nsuch a good smeller point, that I heartily wish it were this side tho line.

The other day Secretary Long of the navy department\nopened the bids for about 0,000 tons\nneeded for uew battleships. Two letters, coming from the greatest nnuor-\nmakliiK concerns In America, politely\ndeclined to make plate nt the price\nspecified. A third company accepted\nthe terms, but hedged Its offer around\nwith so many conditions that It can\nhardly be acceptable. Secretary Long\nhas now referred the whole matter\nImck to Congress, stating three propositions by which the plate may be secured. One Is to give the contract for\ntwenty years to the Illinois Steel Company, and pay the company a forfeit\nwhenever the armor plate purchased\nfalls below 6,000 tons a year; the other\nls for the government to buy or build\na plant of Its own, and the third Is to\nraise the price limit so thnt all manufacturers may deem It worth while to\ncompete. Thus Is the glorious and enlightened nation \"up a stump\" on the\narmor-plate question. It may stick to\nits original figures and pay dearly for\nthe privilege, or it may raise tbe price\nat the behest of the more powerful\nmanufacturing concerns. In either\nevent It ls likely to pay Just as much\nas It did before Congress sought to\nmake a bargain ln the plate business.\nThe only benefit resulting from the\naction of Congress may be that the\npowerful companies will be somewhat\nless dictatorial and Independent than\nthey formerly were. But even this\nbenefit Is not assured.\ntures wherein this machine differs materially from the ordinary bicycle is\nthe weight.

The girls come from Edinburgh. Scotland, and an effort has been\nmade by thoir friends in the old country to havo them return home. They\nare well educated and have good connections, but are rather inclined to be\nromantic. The elder one,tho brunette,\neloped last May with a man named\nKeid, who was in Kovolstokc when last\nheard of. The younger one, Miss Jean\nCrawford, a pretty blonde, accompanied the couple to this country. Straitened circumstances compelled the girls\nto avail themselves of their musical\ntalents, with the result that they are\nmaking a tour of the Kootenay district,\ngiving public entertainments. Hore\nand at Kossland they met with great\nsuccess. Before they left Nelson, a\ncablegram arrived which revealed the\nhistory of the girls. Tho police and\nMagistrate Crease endeavored to por-\nSuade the younger one to return to\nScotland, but withoul avail. She\nstated that she liked tho life she is\nleading and intends to continue it.''\nMrs. Koid, referred to above, better\nknown by her stago name of Miss Lou\nMayfair, readily admits that she is\nmarried and says that she wa.s wedded\nto Mr. Keid four years ago when she\n]ji\ was 16 years old.

Versailles and others\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDand before submitting his own he consulted\nthese, and from them he took the topography of Versailles, and then introduced the broad transverse avenues, the circles, open squares and triangular reservations which resulted\nin producing this city of \"magnificent\ndistances.\"\nAt the foot of one of these reservations the White House stands. There\nnre twenty acres in what is known ns\nthe President's grounds, fronting on\nPennsylvania avenue ami directly facing the lovely Lafayette square and\nrunning south to tlie Potomac river.\nThe house was designed by the famous\nArchitect Hoban, and wns constructed\nunder the personal supervision of\nGeorge Washington. He officiated at\nthe Masonic ceremonies when the corner stone was laid, and he hail the sat-\ntal chandeliers. On the walls are the\npainting of Washington (which Dolly\nMadison had cut from the frame carried from the White House when the\nBritish were nt its very gates in 1812),\nnnd those of Martha Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln. This room ls a\nmarvel of beauty when It is prepared\nfor the official receptions, Then the\nwindow recesses are tilled with tall\npalms, the mantles nnd mirror rests\nnre banked with cut flowers, while\nfrom the chandeliers are hung ropes\nof dainty asparagus and smllnx, and\nwoven through them are hundreds of\ntiny varied colored electric lights, the\nwhole presenting a picture which\nmight grace the Arabian Nights. It\nwns in this room, near the large east\nwindows, that Nellie Grant's marriage,\nwhich afterwards proved so unhappy,\nwas solemnized.\nLending from the East Room is the\nGreen Room, so named from the tinting which prevails in its furnishing\nand decorations. On its walls hangs\nthe picture of Mrs. Hayes, which wa.s\npresented to the Government by the\nWoman's Christian Temperance Union,\nbecause she was the lirst mistress of\nthe White House who turned hor wine\nglass upside down at the dinners given\nthere, although since then Mrs. Cleveland hns done the same. The Ufe-slze\npainting of Mrs. Harrison also hangs\nln this room, nnd is one of the most artistic pieces of work in the house.\nThe next in this suite of state parlors\nls one about which a pccullnr charm\nattaches\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDthe Bine Room.

It ls in this room, too, where\nthe diplomats, in their gorgeous attire,\nnwalt for the President to receive them\nfirst on New Year's Day. The room\nhas been the scene of a thousand and\none other Interesting events. In the\nillustration can be seen the \"Golden\nGate,\" over which the eager public\nlean to cntch a glimpse of the receiving\nparty after having passed through the\nrooms themselves; and beyond It ls a\nglimpse of tho Tiffany screen.\nOpening off the Blue ls the Red\nRoom; this was Mrs. Cleveland's favorite of all of the downstairs rooms,\nand she gave It a more home-like air\nthan any of the others possessed. She\nfilled It with bric-a-brac, her own books\nand so forth, and often here received\nher guests. Mrs. McKlnley prefers the\nlibrary above stairs, which is a delightfully charming, sunshiny room, nnd\nthe view from Its south windows of the\nTHE EAST ROOM, WHITE HOUbE\nisfaetlon of walking through It with\nMrs. Washington after Its completion,\na few weeks previous to his death. This\nbuilding wns burned by the British ln\n1812, but rebuilt In 1815. With the ex-\n; coptlon of Washington, It has been the\nhome of every President the United\nStates has had. The structure Is built\nof sandstone painted white, and is severely plain lu Its exterior. It is two\nStories high, with a basement, nnd is\nof the Grecian style of architecture.\nOn Ihe north, which Is the front side,\n, Is nn Imposing port coebsre, and a\ngrand portico supported by Ionic columns, while on the south Is a setul-clr-\nctiliir colonnade.\nBut If tlie exterior is plnln, the Interior Is sufficiently magnificent to\ncompensate for It. The heavy black\nwalnut front doors, with their slhlued\nglass windows, open Into a spacious\ncorridor, the floor of Which Is of mosaics In different colored stone. In\nthe rear, and separating It from the\n: red corridor, ls the famous Tiffany\nscreen, which Is one of the most beautiful pieces of work of Its kind in the\ni world, and which was designed nnd\nmade by Louis Tiffany. An Idea of its\ni cost may be obtained from the fact\n; that at one of Mrs. Cleveland's last\nreceptions, ln the crush of people, two\nof the small pieces of glass were\nbroken out, and It cost $25 to have simply the two replaced. It Is ln this corridor that the Marine Band Is stationed\nj when playing for the President's din-\ni ners and receptions.\nThe Bast Room.\nTo the east of this corridor, and\nacross the hall which leads upstairs, Is\n| the well-known East Room, go historic\nln its associations, so filled with the\nmemory of the great men who have\nj trodden Us floor! It Is finished ln Gre-\n> clan style, and the woodwork ls deco-\n| rated ln white and gold. The celling\ni ls divided into three panels, and from\n! the center of each hang massive crys-\nWhlte lot, the Monument, Potomac\nand the blue hills of Virginia beyond\ncannot be surpassed for loveliness.\nOn the walls of the lower floor hang\npictures of all of the Presidents, as\nwell as many of their wives.\nThe state dining-room opens from\nthe Red Room, and across the hall ls\nthe stnnller one used by the family,\nboth handsome apartments and furnished ln fine dlnlng-rooin paraphernalia.

Yet, there ls such a\nthing, and, during the season, travelers who desire to make the Journey\nfrom Jerusalem to the neighborhood\nwhere Lot lost his wife may do so with\nas little discomfort as the climate, the\nbad roads and the horseback traveling\nwill permit.\nThe tourist who wishes to \"take In\"\nthe Dead Sea as one of the sights of\nPalestine will be roused at his hotel In\nthe City of David before 5 o'clock In\nthe morning, and will find his dragoman waiting at the door with as many\nof the small Syrian horses as may be\nneeded for the party that proposes to\nmake the Journey. It Is very seldom\nthat a tourist goes alone, for traveling\nIn the East is expensive, and an excursion of this kind would cost three or\nfour travelers much less In proportion\nthan it would cost one. Mounting at\nthe hotel door, the party goes rattling\nalong the narrow streets of Jerusalem.\nTwo hours' ride from the hotel down\nthrough the gorge excavated by the\nBrook Kedron brings the party to the\nTurkish guardhouse on the road to the\nJordan, where he Is met by the unspeakable Turk In force, for all the\ngarrison for the time being, whether\non duty or not, come out to meet the\ntravelers and bid them welcome. The\nTHE TOMB OF MOSES.\ncordiality is purely mercenary, however, for the Turkish and Kurdish\ntroops have no more love for the Christian tourist than for the Armenian\npeasant, and, If It were their Interest\nto do so, would, with neatness and\ndispatch, cut the throats of all the\nparty, pillage their baggnKe and throw\ntheir bodies over the nearest precipice.\nBut even Turks learn something by\nexperience, and the Turks of the\nguardhouse on the road to the Jordan\nhave learned thnt It ls more profitable\nto protect than to plunder travelers, so\nbut It has abundant accommodations\nfor the hundreds of pilgrims who Hock\nfrom Jerusalem to the Jordan nnd\nback again. There ls no charge for\nfood or lodging, but If anyone supposes\nthat the monastery loses money by entertaining travelers, or that the Abbot\nlies awake nights worrying about\nwhere the supiiort of the brethren Is\nto come from, he is greatly mistaken,\nfor the clever Greek monks, while\nclaiming to run n free boarding house\nfor tramp pilgrims, have managed to\nmake the establishment not only a paying Institution, but one of the wealthiest communities In the East. It Is os-\ncordlng to the popular legends, Christ\nwas baptized, and here the Russian\npilgrims fill their bottles with water\nfrom the Jordan, to be taken home as\na holy relic. At another Ib shown the\ntree which Zaccheus climbed to get\nnbove the heads of the crowd; at still\nanother are a few scattered stouts,\nstated to be those of the Identical walls\nwhich fell at the blast of the Jewish\ntrumpets. A cave ln the side of a hill\nIs stoutly affirmed to be the veritable\nhole ln the ground Into which Lot retreated after the destruction of the\ncities of the plain, while beneath the\nwaters of the sea a few hewn stones,\nTHE SHORES OF THE DEAD SEA.\ntentatlously given out that entertainment ls free for all who come, but before the tourist leaves the confines of\nthe monastery he ls made aware that\nany contribution he feels willing to\nmake In aid of the poor brethren will\nbe gratefully received. Of course, every tourist takes the hint, and even\nfrom the poorer classes of pilgrims,\nwho go afoot and have little to spare,\nthe shrewd monks contrive to get\nsomething.\nProm the towers of Mar Saba It Is an\neasy ride to the tomb of Moses, which\nmarks the end of the hill country of\nJudea and the beginning of the plains\nof Jericho. The tomb ls a Mohammedan mosque on the site of a Christian\nmonastery that dated from the days\nof the Crusades. It is not an Imposing\nstructure, low, flat and without architectural pretensions, but enjoys great\nrepute In the world of Islam as a\nshrine of unusual sanctity. The tact\nthat the real grave of Moses was unknown even to the Jews of his own dny\ncuts no figure ln this case, for, during\nthe age of the Crusades, miracles were\ncommon, nnd when the desirability of\na shrine became manifest It wns an\neasy matter to make a miraculous discovery of the grave, the location of\nwhich was so revealed to a monk In a\ndream, the monastery established, and\nafterword appropriated by the Turks.\nThe plains of Jericho are the private\nproperty of the Sultan; are tilled for\nhis benefit by the local peasantry, und\nare kept free from grasshoppers by a\nprimitive and thoroughly oriental\nrbnki mIIim *n*\\nthey extend a hearty welcome to the\ntourists, Invite them In nnd offer them\ncups of black coffee. Coffee, In all\nparts of the Ottoman Empire, Is always on tap, aud the traveler who accepts a cup from a geus-d'nrme, by\nthnt act engages the man as his protector during the Journey to the Dead Sea\nand return. No one ventures even so\nfar as the Jordan without an armed\nescort, for the road from Jerusalem to\nJericho Is as badly Infested with\nthieves now as when the good Samaritan went that way and picked up the\nluckless tourist who ventured to make\nthe Journey without an escort. Even\nnow It sometimes happens that overconfident travelers come to grief, and\na recent party met on their way a\ncouple of English tourists who had fallen among thieves who carried out the\nScripture program almost to the letter,\nstripping them of their raiment, save\na shirt apiece, and departing, leaving\nthem unwounded, It ls true, but half\ndead under the responsibility of getting back to town with no more clothing than that left to them by the plunderers.\nAbout half way between the Holy\nOUy and the Sea of the Dead the party\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDtops for the night at the Monastery of\nMar Saba. It is a gloomy looking\nplace, half fortress, half monastery,\nmethod. When the storks make their\nfirst appearance in the spring, the Inhabitants know that the grasshoppers\nwill not be long In coming, and the local supervisor sends word to the Pasha\nIn Jerusalem that the 'hopper crop is\nnearly ready. As soon as the Pasha\nfeels equal to the necessary exertioi\nhe sends word to the men of the villages nearest to the Jordan to hold\nthemselves In readiness to protect the\nSultan's crops. When the 'hoppers begin to move, all the population turns\nout In force, armed with sticks, brooms,\npoles, brush, bunches of cane and similar means of offensive warfare, and,\nforming a line, advances on the 'hopper infested district. Every grasshopper that can be found ls killed, and\nafter the carnage, which generally lasts\nonly a day or two, the pest ls subdued,\nand the people go back to their homes.\nThe Jericho plains are singularly fertile, and under any other rule than that\nof the Turk would be one of the choice\ngarden spots of Palestine. Now, little\nIs grown there save wheat, which ls\nproduced In quantity and of quality\nunknown elsewhere ln the Holy Land.\nMidway through the flats runs the\nJordan, and tradition has pointed out\nln the vicinity of Jericho and along Its\nfertile plain many spots noted ln sacred lore. At one pool In the river, ae-\nstill In position, as a wall, are supposed\nto mark the location of one of the\ndoomed cities.\nThe Immediate neighborhood of the\nSea of the Dead presents few attractions to the tourist, and does not Invite a stay of more than a few hours.\nNot a bird In the air, not a fish ln the\nsea, not a sign of life along Its shores,\nbut a glimmering above the waters\nfrom the constant evaporation, Intense\nheat, reflected from the rocks and\nwaters, and utter silence. The sea\nwell deserves Its name, and after a\nsurvey of the vicinity It ls cay to understand why the dwellers in the plains\nof Jericho believe the region to rest\nunder a perpetual curse, nnd that,\nafter nightfall, It is Infected by the\nuneasy ghosts of the wicked dwellers\nIn Sodom and Gomorrah.\nBut the old superstitions are rapidly\nfading out ln the light of modern improvement which reaches even the vi-\ncinlty of the Dead Sea. Jericho has\ntwo good hotels, a railroad is projected\nto connect the city with Jerusalem,\nand when this is finished the Journey\nwill be reduced from four or five days\nto as ninny hours, and the conductors'\ncry \"All aboard for Jericho and *ne\nDead Sen\" will nttrnct the attention\nof ten times as many tourists as al\npresent toil over the rough and dangerous road which leads from the Holy\nCity to the fords of the Jordan.\nMRS.
