A Likelihood of Many of Those Getting to
 the klondyke Country Perishing for
 Food.
 SEATTLE, Wash, July 27 By August i5 5000 people will be struggling over the Chilxat pass above Dyea en route down the Yukon valley to the Klon- dyke. There are now fully 5000 peo- pie at Dawson and vicinity. Ten thou sand people will thus be sealed up in the country about September, with weather 30 degrees below zero To get out will be practically impossible What will they do for food? This is the condition of affairs that is facing the officials of the various transporta- tion companies and keeping some of them awake at night. Looking at the problem in the most conservative and cool-headed manner possible, it is hard to see how these wild people can get through the winter without suffering acutely for want of proper food. The Alaska papers are calling in double leaded editorials upon the gold hunt CTS, who are rushing helter-skester from all parts of the country for the klondylSe, to bring sufficient supply of food to nourish them for six months, or else come prepared to face starva- tion and death from the intense cold or scurvy, which is worse than death.
