the last things ready while l was away.
Breaking a camp takes some time so
that 10 o'clock found us but just ready
to start. The sun was quite warm and
the snow soft when we started but
could see that there were light clouds
on the mountain and some indication
of wind. AS we went up the wind be-
gan to blow little from the south
or at our backs. AS We came nearer
the summit we began to meet the In
dian packers coming down, having quit
work above as the wind was getting
SO strong. There are two benches or
narrow fiat places up the side and our
windlass was placed on the first one
about 1000 feet from the foot. We ar
rived at the foot a little before o'clock
to find that the first load which con-
tanned our beds, had gone up, but be-
fore this time the wind had gained
such velocity above that our men had
all quit work and left. We could not
turn back now so concluded to follow
our beds. After making everything
fast I unhitched the dogs and calling
them along we started to climb to the
top. This is no small task. I can tell
you, and when we arrived at the first
bench 1t was after o'clock. Here the
wind was blowing very hard and cold
and the small particles of ice that came
with it cut my face and hands SO that
l could not face it or take off my nit
tens Here we found our beds and I
also managed to find a can of frozen
corn beef which tasted very good while
We sat for short time behind pile
of goods to rest We packed our beds
from this bench to the next. The wind
had now become so strong that 1t would
almost carry me up the side believe
to go down again even.
"At the second bench l had hard
work to keep my feet at all but man

| never again expect to see such
storm as was raging at the top! Snow
was now coming with the icy wind and
drifts were forming in all the protected
places. The noise of the storm was so
great that no other sound could be
heard. The war of contending ele-
ments was magnificent but l felt quite
too insignificant long to be a witness
and was glad to get away as soon as
possible. The decent on this side is
very steep but not so long. After let
ting the sleds go down we just sat down
in the soft snow and slid or dropped
to the level below. which is quite
large body of water called Crater
Lake, supposed to be the site of an old
volcano. 1t lies far above the timber
line and is always frozen. Just at the
foot there was very little wind and
we stopped for short time to rest

OUR SMALLER COLLEGES.

In Many Respects They Are Doing Bet
ter Work Than tho Larger Ones.
There are few striking facts about
the small American college," writes Ed
ward w. Box in the Ladies' Home
Journal. "One striking fact is that 60
per cent of the brainiest Americans who
have risen to prominence and success
are graduates of colleges whose names
are scarcely known outside of their own
states. 1t is a fact, also. that during
the past ten years the majority of the
new and best methods of learning have
emanated from the smaller col
leges, and have been adopted
later by the larger ones Be-
cause a college happens to be un-
known two hundred miles from the
place of its location does not always
mean that the college is not worthy OF
wider repute. The fact can not be dis
puted that the most direct teaching, and
necessarily the teaching most produc-
tive of good results, is being done in
the smaller American colleges. The
names Of these colleges may not be IA
miliar to the majority of people, but
that makes them none the less worthy
places of learning. The larger colleges
are unquestionably good. But there
are smaller colleges just as good, and,
in some respects. better. Some of the
finest educators we have are attached
to the faculties of the smaller institu-
tions of learning. Young girls or
young men who are being educated at
one of the smaller colleges need never
feel that the fact of the college being \
small one places them at a disadvan-
tage In comparison with the friend or
companion who has been sent to lar
ger and better known college. 1t is not
the college; it is the student"

before starting out on the long run
of nine miles through the snow and
wind storm to this camp.
Before the first few miles were
passed the drifting snow had so covered
the trail that the dogs could not follow
1t and l had to go ahead and keep the
road while Booth looked after the team.
To find and keep blind trail we use
long sharp stick and by constant
punching We can tell the hard trail
from the soft snow at the side. l broke
trail that day most of the time on the
run for nearly seven miles through a
snow storm so thick that nothing could
be seen and the wind bowling at our
backs like pack of hungry wolves.
At the top OF the canyon the wind was
less severe but the snow was drifting
and the gathering darkness made our
trip down the gorge rather uncanny.
1--WE arrived safe and well only to
find that our tent was not yet up. Two
hours more, at 10 o'clock, our regular
meal of bacon, beans and bread found
a very hearty reception, after which I

nineteen hours of constant exertion but

health and strength which successful
combat with these grand and rugged
mountains must give to any one. and

the much talked of and treacherous
white Horse Rapids" going through
which many men have lost their lives.
AS soon as the warm weather begins
gnats. poisonous flies and mosquitoes
make life a burden. The stories told
of the numbers and voraciousness Of
the native mosquitoes are almost in
credible. Lieut.. Schwatka states in his
report OF voyage down the Yukon
that he has seen mosquitoes in such
numbers as to cloud the sun and OBJ
struct the vision. Dogs and game have
been killed by the bites OF mosquitoes;
even the huge black bear is not ex-
empt from the pest as the continual
bites produce Inflammation of the eyes,
causing blindness. Judging from re-
ports an asbestos mosquito net should
be in the OUTFIT of every miner. Min
ing operations cannot begin until the
Ice melts from June LIST to the 18th.
About the middle OF September the sun
drops so low that ice soon forms and
active operations must be discontinued
until the following season. The season
is short, yet from June 10 until Aug. l
the sun shines twenty-five hours out of
the twenty-four, and during the re-
naming two hours work can be done.
Accordingly when rich claim is found
two or three sets of men are employed
and work goes on continually
The Yukon country is no place for a
man without money. Every man who
goes there must expect to work and
work hard. No credit is given on a
mans face. That day is gone. Mr..
Mitchell says that before men make
a rush from Michigan to the Klondyke
gold fields, 1t would be well to remem-
ber that while miners make from SIS
to 500 day, 1t is at the most for only
about sixty days, and provisions are
about so cents an ounce; that there are
1000 men existing in about $50 log
huts, and thousands more were ex-
pected during the spring and summer
and that the mails are most infrequent,
and uncertain. Gold is there in abun-
dance to be sure. but the difficulty In
getting it is exceedingly great. Mr..
Metcalf cannot emphasize too strongly
the difficulties and dangers and hard
ships of a trip to the interior and
would warn everybody to keep away
unless provided with several hundred
dollars and clothing and provisions to
last for at least one year.

BIRDS LIKE TO TRAVEL.
ehe Reason They Annually Leave Nortl
ern Chimes and Fly South.

Che Reason They Annually Leave North
ern Chimes and Fly South.
Why do the birds fit southwark each
autumn and return again with every
spring? No one knows, but science, in
the person of Professor Wang, the emf.
nent Austrian ornithologist, has just dis
closed that the usual flippant answer 10
this question, because they like to
travel, is not far out of the way, after
all.
In lecture that Professor Wang re-
Gently delivered at Vienna he gave some
extremely interesting details regarding
the migrations of birds, all of which
migrations resemble one another in two
respects: They follow the most direct
line southwark, and are made with al
most incredible rapidity. Numerous OBJ
servations have been made at Helgo-
land, which is the principal hating
place of birds of passage from northern
countries, and of Egypt, which is the
winter home of many, and these obser
vations have established some facts hith-
erto unknown. The bluebirds traverse
the 400 nautical miles which separate
Egypt from Helgoland in single night,
which is at the rate Of more than AZ
geographical miles per hour. The swal-
lows speed is over 21a miles per min
ute, or nearly three times that OF the
fastest railway train. Even the younger
birds, or weeks old, accompany the
others in their journey.
Professor Wang asks himself what Ii
the impulse which causes the birds, aft
er the brooding and molting season II
over, to quit our nothern climate H'
does not think it is fear of cold-fol
many species quite as delicate as thos'
which migrate southwark easily with
stand the rigors of the winter-out tina
they have an Irresistible humor To-
travelling This is his idea of the fact
but he can give no explanation.
