WALKING INTO DEATH.
District Attorney Of Alaska Tells of
White Pass Horrors

Seattle, Wash, Sept 24.-One of the
most distinguished passengers to ar
rive in the city on the steamer Queen,
who was sent north by Grover CIeve-
district attorney for Alaska
From what I can learn, he said.
there is not and will not be enough
food at Dawson City this winter With
favorable weather, the trading compa-
MES may get more up the river than
was anticipated. but it is not likely
1t will be impossible, under the most
favorable circumstances, TO get suf1-
cient in to supply all those who are
there 1 feel sure of that after careful
inquiry and from letters I have re-
ceived from Dawson City.
But, as I say, if Dawson City suf-
fers, think of the men on White Pass
The world may not realize it, but there
are men I'D north who are walking

but from what I can learn, hundreds
do not propose to stop there. nor will
they return to civilization They have
the gold fever as no other body of men
ever had it, Every time they hear of
a strike in the Yukon country they get
crazier than ever They will not stop
for snow; they will not stop for storms
They will keep pushing over White
Pass all winter
4 am satisfied that while the snow is

coming down in all its fury on the pass
and the wind is blowing awful gales
this winter, you will see men on White
Pass 1t is a frightfuI thing to think
of. but is true and these men should be
stopped I would not be a bit sur
prised to learn of many deaths up there
this winter 1t is the most damnabIe
rush ever heard of, or read Of These
men do not know anything about the
time, yet they keep on, and just about
the time winter is at its worst some
of them will be caught on White Pass
They viii never escape.
I am satisfied that thoSeWho remain
at Skaguay this winter will be all right
Spring Will soon be with them and they
can start for the north Once there
they will all come back rich if they are
willing to stay and work for a few
years There is gold in every body
of water, big or little in our country
Why, the people of the states. with all
the newspaper talk, do not know what
the rush will be the coming spring.
From letters I have received from
the states there will be 10. 600 people in
Alaska six weeks after the spring rush
has commenced
I think that the reports about so
much crime in the vicinity of Skaguay
have been exaggerated. We are doing
what we can to see that order is pre-
served, and have been fairly successful
OF course, there are some criminals
there, but crime is very small We
have officers at Skaguay They will
winter there and look for no trouble
One thing is certain and that is that

Emporia they left their car and board
ed the engine riding from EmpOria to
Newton in the cab of the locomotive
1t happened that the engine was in
charge of Engineer Nate HolIister and
Fireman Ed GOusoIIey, and when the
two officials returned to their car at
Newton Mr. Higginson remarked to
Mr.. Player:
Il never rode on an engine that look
ed more like an up-to-date machine
shop, or that ran easier than Hollis
ter's- Neither have ever seen an en-
gineer and fireman work better than
HoIIister and GOusOIley-''
The compliment rendered the two
men by one of the executive officials of
the road came at a fitting time. A few
days later, in charge of the same en-
gine, pulling the Same train, both met
an instant death.
In noting the elegant appearance of
HOLSTERS engine Mr. Higginson did
exactly what the officials Of the me
