and dance houses-making 500 a day.

together with japanned or TIN plates.

and bar fixtures and stuff. That would
he all that is needed; and / will do the
rest in making it profitable. In regard
to the mines, there is no mistake as to
their richness, for they are very rich: but
not every one who comes here is going to
strike it rich, as is the case in every dis
covery. There will be new stampedes
next spring-one to Henderson Creek and
also to Dominion Creek.
There are few Yakima people here.
DR.. Chambers is doing finely. Judge
Morford likewise. He is managing the
mill oompany's business and also the
townsite property and doing well, as are
also Jimmie Mackison and young Bounds.
That is fairy tale about Thorpe and
SplaWn making $l35 600 ont of the mines !;
they have not. There are two large stores
here. The stores are Captain Healey's
and that Of the Alaska Commercial Com
pany. They are doing a wonderful bust
ness. There are no banks here, and all
moneys are handled through the Alaska
Commercial Company.
You will excuse pencil, as there is a
scarcity of ink here, and rot a piece of

Noah N. Brown Writes 10 a Yakima
Friend About The Gold Fields.

Tale About Thorpe and Hounds
what Yakimnns are Doing There
The Mines are Very Rich.

Through the courtesy OF Banker George
S. Hough, Esq, THE HERALD is enabled
to lay letter before THE. HERALD's read
ers containing the latest direct news from
the Klondike gold fields. Noah n.
Brown, formerly proprietor OF the Hotel
Yakima, writes lengthy letter to his
friend, Mr.. Hough, some parts OF which
are Of a private character, but much OF
general interest to the public. The let
ter, dated at Dawson City Sept. 80, 1897,
bears postmark at Chilcoot Dec. / a., and
was received here Dec. 10. The writer
says, in substance:
If had $4,000 to $4,000 to stock a
hotel and bar, could easily make $40, 900
next season. There will be $4,000 peo-
pie here next year and no place to receive
them. There are half score OF houses
in Dawson City with rooms filled with
persons at $3.50 each night, and then
they have to double up with on light
hay mattress under couple of blankets.
The place where am work at $40 night
has five men sleeping in the office and
the floors are packed with men at $3.50
apiece. Meals are $3.50 and they only
consist OF mutton stew, bread, and lit
tie corn, with coffee. There is nothing
in the rooms in the way of furniture,
only frame bedstead constructed IN IA
corner OF the room. There is not chair,
only stools In the office, and the bar has
not enough glasses to go around, if the
customers are lined up. Drinks are 30
cents each. Nearly all the current money
is gold dust. am afraid there will be a
famine here, as there has not been boat
arrived since early in July. The vessel
(Portland) that brought Gov. McGraw
could not bring any of its cargo. The
chief Of police issued an edct to-day ask
ing those who are not supplied with pro-
visions to last them this winter to leave
for Fort Yukon by way of Circle City for
the winter, as supplies can be had there,
and offering free transportation by the
steamer Belle to that place. | was for

me, although it was hard work and cost.

"Youth is the season OF enjoyment"
says Shakespeare, and this being so, the
happy harvest home is in Christmas time
The learned professors OF theology who
debated lately in New York the PROPOSE
ton to kill off old Santa Claus so that
he could never more bob up serenely
during the holidays reckoned without
their host. To get rid OF this saint of
childhood it will first be necessary to
obtain the cooperation Of the churches
and secondly the consent OF the juvenile
population, whose referendum would be
unanimous against it. Taught to believe
that the maker of man bresthed the
breath of life into his nostrils so that he
became living SOUL the unwritten the
ology of infancy has canonized Santa
Claus as the embodiment OF that love of
tender youth which shone 10 the life OF
Him who likened the little ones to the
kingdom. Similar views pervade this
community, and every church in North
Yakima is already making extensive
preparations tor red-letter day for all
of Yakima's little lambs, every one. in or
out of the church brief synopsis is
given herewith OF what is being done in
this regard, and it will be seen that no
child in the city will be forgotten by the
king of gifts on the glorious natal day.
The Episcopal Sabbath School children
will have an elaborate Christmas tree,
hung with the choicest frntage of the
season. The tree, which is already Sc.
lected, will be adorned by a committee
OF ladies of the church with everything
to please childish fancy.
The children of the Baptist Sunday
School, under the efficient man cement
of j. II. Needham, look forward to a gala
time Christmas eve. There will be
Christmas tree, to be decorated by the
Misses Wheeler and Anna Foster and
Messrs. Davis, Stackhouse and Gibbon.
There will be music, recitations, and
royal good time by the little folks around
the Christmas tree.
The Congregational Sabbath School
will have a Christmas tree on Friday
evening preceding the holiday. There
will be music, vocal and instrumental,
together with Rotations by the children.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1897-12-16

All children not connected with any Sab
bath School are cordially invited to come
and psrtake Of the presents and share in
the general JOY.
The Presbyterian children will have
tree loaded with the good things of life,
and the little ones will recite appropriate
verses commemorative of the occasion
The tree will be decorated and furnished
in the style that has made the pupils of
this school glad for many previous Christ
mas tides.
The Methodist Church folks intend to
do without tree this time, but will see
that every little tot of the Sunday School
shall equally share in the refreshments
which will be literally furnished. On
Friday evening there will be general
distribution of candy and the like and on
Sunday evening a song and recitation
service by the members of the various
classes.
The authorities of the Catholic Church
have not yet promulgated the order of the
exercises, but 1t is safe to say that Christ
mas will be celebrated in the usual way,
with glorious music and ceremony.
The Christian Church will prepare
tree and give the little ones OF the sun
day School an additional treat in charm
ing cantata. The school is hourishng
under the supervision of Mr.. Archie
Flint, and all the pupils are invited to
take part in the cantata and he the
mas tree on Friday tChristm as evel. The
cantata is under the direction of Mes
danes Stephens, Ina Williams, Mcdaniel
and Miss Ora Forbis.
