OFFICIAL DECREE ISSUED BY
GENERAL JOFfRE
PARIS, April 20.—(leneral Joffre,
commander in-chief of the French
army, Issued an official decree today
which was read before all the French
regiments, in which he welcomed the
I presence of the Russian troops at the
western battlefront. He said, in part
"The Russian soldiers sent to fight
on French soil for the liberties of!
France and the great cause of hu
manity have been selected from among !
the bravest in her army, and are com
manded by officers of the highest
rank, who welcome the opportunity to
fight in our ranks, shoulder to sboiil -
der as brothers in a common cause
You will receive them then as broth
1 ers. I welcome these soldiers. I bow
1 before the Russian flags they bear
' aloft so proudly, the flags upon which
will soon tie inscribed the glorious
, names of our victories.”

PLACER STRIKE IN CHANDALAR.
Writing to Have Lowery from Fort
Yukon, Frank K. Foster, an oUltimer
in that country, tells of the latest
i
placer strike in the (’handlar. The
strike was made on Squaw creek, and
caused a small stampede to that creek
The man who struck the- good dirt was i
Manuel Mello. who has been working
on tlie creek since last year. The I
richness of the strike was not dis
closed in the letter.
Squaw creek is located alongside of
t Itig creek. Ilig creek is the creek on
which former Commissioner Marsh
was working his quartz. It Is on the
middle fork of the ('handlar river,!
about HO miles from Fort Yukon.

SHORT SPORT ITEMS.
The polo outlook in the Northwest I
for this season is decidedly unfavor |
able, and it is unlikely that there
will be any playing worthy of men- i
tion. Sherman K. Hall, for the com 1
mittee of the Waverly dub of Port
land, Oregon, writes as follows: In
the long tests of endurance it is claim
ed that the heavy man can lose weight
without being affected, while the slim
swimmer, not having any reserve
flesh, is weakened. The slim man,
however, has the advantage in the
sprints.
With the opening of the trout fish
ing season In many sections, anglers
up and down the coast pretty general
ly have been told by their various war
dens that the prospects of good sport
this season are encouraging. It is said
that the artificial stocking of the
streams has been able to more than
hold its own against the drain made
by the fishermen, and this condition
appears to obtain in ail of the Pacific
coast states. YVhether or not the un
usually heavy rains and snows which
have visited the country this year will
have any appreciable effect on the
fishing remains to be seen.
