TO PREVENT STARVATION. Secretary Alger Planning to Send Suppliei to the Klondike. Secretary Alger Is now engaged In an attempt to solve the question of how to (ret supplies Into the Klondike gold legions nnd thereby prevent the threat ened starvation of many miner. The great Yukon river Is without doubt al ready closed to navigation by boats ami the mountain passes via C'hllkoot are almost Impassable. The problem, therefore, is a hard one. Now, however, It Ih believed by the Secretary that by means of a novel plan of transportation supplies may be pro vided even In the midst of an Alaskan winter. Hp hns openpd correspondence Indirectly with a Chli uro Inventor who makes a locomotive sled designed orlK lually for use In logging camps, but which, It Is hoped, may be readily ndapted to the navigation of the Yukon when It Is frozen thickly. With a few of these machine placed on the river It Is hoped that a sutllclent supply nt food and other necessary stores can be carried up the Yukon to relieve distress attending the miners. The Secretary has already had some experience with this kind of locomotive, When engnRcd In lumbering In the Northwest he tried the endue practl cally, and found It was capable of pul Hiik many tons of low on sleds at I Rood speed, even as hlRh a 12 miles an hour. The enRlne Is boxed In like f i eight car, and the engineer mid lire- man are thereby protected from the rigors of the winter. KEPT BIS OATH.
