NOTES .OF ‘THE DIAMOND The two Bowling League clubs located in South Washington met on the alleys of the Washington Athletic Club last night, and the Business Men's Club have little to con- sole them for making the trip. The home club won all of the games by large mar- gins. None of the team scores,were large, the totals all falling below the S00 mark. Burch’s score of 195 in the opening game, which was highest on either side for the match, and Kidd's 182 game in the last event were the only creditable strings bowled. Dietz got in his customary diffi- cult spares, bowling 5-7 and 5-6-10. Fulier also made the good one of 5-8-9-10. The home team started well In the first game and took the lead at the upening of the contest, finally winning by 59 pins. The victory was really won by Burch, as his: support, outside of Martin, was very poor. Heliriegel did best work for the Business Men, although his support was also bad. The score follows: Club. | Bus. Men's B. Club, D. St. “Sp. Se. 136 Fuller. 4 144 139) Scanlon. Sease 154) Hellriegel 4 156 143 Land. .

The executive committee of the Century Road Club of Chicago has refused to ap- prove the new rule proposed by A. 0.

This action was taken at a meeting of the committee, at which President Shin- kle and Second Vice President Bentley were present. The rule which is thus made in- operative provided that century riders must get the signatures at least every twenty: five miles of the ride of some one who them making the century. The executive committee refused to give it approval main- ly because it would interfere with night centuries and with attempts at records. Late Entries for Suburban.

According to advices received at the Navy Department, the fulfillment of the plan for the increase of the German navy will place Germany ahead of both Russia and the United States in naval strength. The United States and Germany are now tied for fifth place among the naval powers of the world. The German program extends over a period of seven years, during which it is proposed to expend upon the navy in the neighborhood of $200,000,000. In one year upward of $35,000,000 will be devoted to the rebuilding of the navy. The Ger- man navy, by 1904, is to include, in addi- tion to torpedo boats, school ships, gun- boats and vessels for special service, seven- teen battleships of the first class, eight armored coast defense vessels, nine large cruisers and twenty-six smaller cruisers. The battleships will be as formidable as most of es afloat, while the coast de- fense vessels will be equal in fighting quali- ties to the best. There will be in reserve also three large cruisers, four small cruis- ers and some gunboats. By April 1 next there will have been built or begun twelve battleships of the first rate, eight armored coast defense ships, ten large cruisers and twenty-three small cruisers. The battle- ships are to cost about $5,000,000 each, and the small cruisers about $1,000,000 each. Germany has a rule that when a ship be- comes unfit for further service another ves- sel-is to be built immediately and to receive the same name. o COMMERCIAL HIGH SCHOOL. Steps for the Education of the Ger- man Merchant Class. Commercizl] Agent Moore at Weimar has made a report to the State Department in regard to the establishment of a high School at Magdeburg for commercial edu- cation. “The importance of technica: training schools in connection with the textile industry having forced itself,” he says, “on the American people, who are in 2 great measure indebted to the excellent example set them in this respect by the Germans, it will be of interest to know that steps are being taken in Germany looking to the higher education of the mer- chant class in branches especially pertain- ing to their occupation. It is now proposed to establish a state commercial high school at Magdeburg, an important manufactur- ing city in an important’ manufacturing district of Prussia. = “While such schools can, perhaps, never be so much a matier of necessity, and, in fact, of primary importance to a commer- cial career as technical schools and techni- cal education are to the textile expert and worker, still they are of very decided ad- vantage, and forcibly illustrate the ten- half of the nineteenth century. an example is set us well worthy of thought- ful consideration.’ ALASKAN GOLD FIELD An Address by Mr. William H. Lewis of Seattle. FIFTY YOUNG MEN HIS AUDITORS Company Proposes to Start for Klondike in the Spring. ee THE OUTFIT NECESSARY eee Fifty young men who expect to go to the Alaskan gold fields in the spring gathered in Parlor 10 of Wiilard’s Hotel last evening to hear an address by Mr. William H. Lewis of Seattle on “How to Reach the Klondike.” Mr. Lewis has made a careful investigation cf the subject for the purpose of advising miners, whom he represents agent, and his remarks were well received. He spoke, in part, as follows: “Seattle is already rapidly filling up with the advance guard of prospectors, and it is estimated that 200,000 miners will pass through that city into Alaska this spring. “While Alaska is full of gold flelds, some of them very rich, I advise people now to go to the Klondike region of the Yukon river. Undoubtedly the richest claims on the Klondike and its branches ha been located, but new and rich discoveries are being developed near there and all along the Yukon this winter, and the miners who reach there first in the spring will be able to locate claims adjoining the rich ones developed this winter. And, moreover, on the Yukon a miner who fails to locate a rich claim, can always secure work at from $10 to $15 a day. “The Copper river, Cook's Inlet and other districts along the coast all promise well and may be extremely rich, but nothing definite is yet known of any great discov- eries there. The indications are that, un- less rich strikes are made there this sum- mer, there will be great hardship among the thousands of men who are going, and who, if they fail to strike gold, will be un- able to get work at day wages. Necessity of a Year's fit. “No man should think of starting for any of the Alaska gold fields without at least a year’s outfit of clotMfing, hardware, grocer- ies, medicines, etc. Such an outfit is an absolute necessity, as once on the trail all opportur.ities for buying are past. You must make the trip with the outfit you have or turn back. “Outfits may be purchased in Seattle, which is the acknowledged outfitting point for the coast. San Francisco and Portland are both too far away, have very little di- rect communication with Alaska and know Nttle about the requirements of an outfit. ext to Seattle I consider Tacoma the best outfitting point. It has all the advan- tages of location, though lacking, perhaps, the large number of dealers carrying com- plete stocks of goods. Neither have its dealers and their employes had as much ex- perience in supplying the Alaska outfits as have those of Seatt The Articles Necessary. “Various lists of the articles necessary for an outfit have been published, ana each differs somewhat from, all others. “The weight and cost of an outfit, in- cluding all that is needful for one year, is shown to be as follows: Clothing. . 110 Ibs. « 1,200 Ibs. 35 Ibs. ibs. Is. - $180.00 he above embraces a first-class supply. Many think they can do with less, but I do not advise it. The list I give c for the best of everything, as a man can- not afford to take any inferior grade or quality as ony part of his outfit. A break down or failure in any pertion of it might be a very serious matter. “In addition to bis supplies a man should have from $300 to $0 im cash, b steamer ticket to Alas! s wil necessary for the purchase of do; to draw the sled and feed for them and also for sundry expenses on the trail and river. When to Start. “The start should be made from Seattle for Skaguay or Dyea, in Alaska, early in March, and the route should be over the Skaguay (or White) Pass or over the Chil- kocot (or Dyea) Pass, and down the lakes to the headwaters of the Yukon over the crusted snow. By starting in March, aft the first t the miner can take advan- age of the hard, firm crust on the snow nd can get over the pass with his outfit nd far down the lakes and river at muca less expense than at any other time of year. ss “Heretofore the snow has been best in April, but it is expected that this year the large number of miners camped along the 1 will keep it tramped down and in good condition, so that outtits can be taken over on dog sleds early in the spring. Engage Accommodations in Advance. “Hotel or boarding house accommoda- tions for the few days to be spent in Seat- tle should be engaged in advance—at once, in fact, as during the rush the city will no doubt at times de filled to overflowing, and a man, if he waits, may faii to get satis- factory accommodations, or, it may be, any at all. The same is true of steamship pas- sage from Seattle to Alaska. Even at this early date the steamers for Alaska are leaving the Seattle harbor loaded to their utmost capacity with both passengers and their outfits. The Best Route. “This question has been much discussed, and there are still many varying opinions. ‘The general belief, however, is that the best, quickest and safest route is over the Skaguay trail, so much condemned for its miserable condition last year. A New York company has, however. since that time spent a largegsum of money in improve- ments on the trail. Already sixteen miles of good wagon road, sixteen feet wide and in first-class condition, are completed, and work is being rapidly pushed on the re- mainder of the read. December 30, Mr. Sifton, the Canadian minister of the in- terior, stated in an interview with United States Assistant Secretary of War Meikeljohn at Washington that “the only practicable route to Dawson City is what is known as the White Pass (Skaguay trail), commencing at Skaguay on Lynn canal” He stated at the same time that the mounted police force in Alaska is using this trail for the transportation of its supplies, and find it much the best. “On the same date the War Department received from Capt. W. W. Robinson of the quartermaster’s depaftment of the United States army, @ationed on Puget sound, a report to the same effect, recommending the Skaguay route. Chilkeot Pass Next Best. “Next to the Skaguay route I recommend that over the Chilkoot pass from Dyea. It is 1,000 feet higher than the Skaguay piss and much steeper and rougher. But. this is to be overcome by use of an over- head tramway, by which goods will be transported over the summit. It has the great drawback, however, of having no suitable harbor and no wharves because of shoal water in front of the town. The steamers discharge their cargoes more than a mile from town, and from there they have to. be transported to the beach in lighters at high water. The Skaguay har- bor is an excellent one, with three deep- water wharves, al completed, and another much larger one now being built. “Miners going in the spring over either will require sleds and dogs for the pass down i Hy i j if mit ii f i : I | i ; i & H t Fa 5 | DOOD 90090 = 5 Mertz’s Pectoral? 4) Balsam, 10c. —takes right hold of a cold, congh or bronchial affection and cures it speedily.

Two or four in a party can do much better work, save time and money and get through quicker.” At the close of Mr. Lewis Harvey of Philadelphia and Me: ton and French of this city gave t dresses describing the trip to the Klondike, with Washington as the starting point. i i + i : STRENGTH & ENERGY!
