TRAVEL BY JUNEAU FALLING OFF.

Seattle Wash. Sept. 1.-THE steamer City Of To-
peka arrived from Alaska at o'clock this morn
ing and brings the following letter to the Assoc-
ated Press:
Juneau. Alaska. Sept 6-Among the recent
rivals at this port the steamers Resale, May
flower. Detroit Willamette and Topeka. and the
failing off in the volume OF travel Is very notice
able. The majority of newcomers will remain at
juneau until spring. An effort will be made next
year TO turn the tide OF travel by way of Sitka
going from there to Yakoutal and Disenchantment
Bay and up the White River. the distance being only
about four hundred and twenty-five miles from
Sitka to Dawson. as against seven hundred miles
from Juneau over the present trail.
The building Of railroad from Juneau to Lake
Teslin Is assured. Thorough examination by
the interested parties has decided them TO COM
work at the earliest possible moment next
year. The road will go by way Of the Lsku: No
doubt this will be the first railroad established. but
1t probably will be quickly followed by others two
prospective roads in particular having the same
terminus the Juneau road. In going into the
Yukon country. the White Horse Rapids and many
other dangerous places will be avoided. As there
will be suitable boats plying Lake Tesn and
pleasure rather than otherwise.
Rapid progress is being made Oh the cable tram
way constructing at Chilkoot Pass. and when
finished everything go over more cheapy and
quickly than heretofore. Every one liz now mapping
out arrangements for winter quarters as ii will
