POLICE HOMESTEADERS
PROTECTED IN THEIR RIGHT*
Major Moodie, commander o£ tin
Royal Northwest Mounted Police oj
Dawson, has received a message fron
Retina stating that homesteader*
joining the police force for a year
will have their homesteads pro
tected in the meantime. The mes
sage says;
"Hon. Robert Rogers advises that
all homesteaders who engage for oik
year's service with us will have
their homesteaBs protected. Give
publicity."
The major alfeo has advices from
headquarters that none of the mem
bers of the policy will be allowed to
join an independent military force
for the front. Several of the boys of
the force now in Dawson were anx
ious to join Boyle's Yukon Detach
ment and to go to the front, and
the major wired to ascertain if it
were possible for them to do so.—

REPORT FINDING GOOD
PLACER GOLD PROSPECTS
The Dawson News of Sept. 5th
'says that a stampede has been on
from there the last two or three days
to a stream which has been christ
ened Marsh creek. It lies eleven
miles b.vond Jensen creek, and is
•aid to flow into Clear or Flat, in
the vicinity of Gravelly lake. The
stream Is several miles in length.
Gold was discovered by D. B. Cole
ivell known Dawson paper hanger,
md O. C. McLaggan, a miner.
Several creeks In the vicinity have
Seen staked at various times in
lie past, but ft is not known that
:his oarticular stream has received
much attention.
MORATORIUM
Moratorium, a word much In evi
dence today, is little known for the
;imple reason that it has never
nit'herto been required. It is derive*
from the Latin aud in law means a
legal title to delay the malting of a
lue payment—hence it has been ex
lended to include any act of a legis
lature which suspends payment of
egal debts. Britain—really Loniten
—has been long the great interna
ional exchange, the clearing house
vUere the debts and credits of world
nule are balanced and settled.
This war leaves London in a posi
ion which prevents Germany, for
-sample, from paying its accepted
•ills of exchange, which usually
imount to $350,000,000. These re
>reeent imports, and are discounted
n Loudon, and the course of trade
equires a regular and uninterrupted
novement of credit which leav«6
>nly a comparatively small sum to
oe squared by actual gold re
uittances. But so intricate and in
erdependent is the course of trade
haX when any large avenue is
•losed it spells ruin to «11 in the
lir®ct line of movement. Hence the
lioratorlum, which in effect is an ex
ension of the days of grace for an
ndeflnlte period. No bills of ex
:hange payable and the result is re
lef to every one with the minimum
imount of hardship to each and of
danger to the general fafcric of cred
it.—Toronto World.

KINCAID PLANTS EASTERN
OYSTERS NEAR OLVMI'I,'
, Seattle, Sept. 12—First steps ir
aa effort to raise eastern oyst»rs is
i the waters of Puget Sound were tak
on last week by Trevor Ktncald,
head of the department of zoology
in the University ot Washington.
Professor Kincaid transported from
Willapa Harbor to Olympia bay, net
Olympia, a hex of healthy eastern
bivalves, which had been grown moi
favorably in the southwestern breed
ing grounds. He will keep close
watch on their developments in theii
new beds, and say's he electa them
to do welk
"These oystsrs are apeciniems
grown in Willapa harbor waters, and
not themselves transplanted from
the cast,*' safa professor Kincaid.
•'Inasmuch, as they have adapted
themselves, through successive gen
erations, t*> tb« conditions of the
wwst coast,. I have hopea that
they will withstand any unfavorable
conditions in the soand waters. If
they do thrive, we shall have the
beginnings of an important and val
uable indostny.
"Further investigation hne con
vinced me that the area of Willapa
harbor beds favorable to the growth
of eastern oysters is much larger
than at first I supposed. I was out
with a private grower at Nasel, .and
we dredged some wondew'ui speci
mens about sis inches long, several
three years old, and more tha« a
hundred yesrrlings. The state has,
besides outright ownership of 1,
000 acres ot niosfe favorable beds,
large reserves in th« part of Willa
pa harbor most favorable to the
growth of these oysters."
