THE SKAGUAY TRAIL.
Exoollent Description divon by a
Mining Engineer
while There II Not the Least
DANCER IA Making the Trtp it's
Not an Easy or riens-
ant one.

After an examination OF 80 days OF
the Skaguay TRAIL Il. II, slIeJeA' H''''
ing engineer of Seattle, Nash' says
"Skaguay valley was once occupied
by a large glacier near the lower endi
the rocks are ancient, scdimentary or
stratifed deposits with innumerablc
bikes and stringers of granite aspect,
but all the upper portions oil the val
lev and the summit OF the range are
nothing but very coarse granite with
out any trace Of any structure, but with
very strongly-marked nearly horizontal
bedding planes, cut by nearly vertical
cleavage joints, The action OF the ice
which formerly plowed its way down
the valley, has ground these rocks to
polisbed surfaces, the vertical faces
supporting only few ichens, while
the horizontal benches before the adj
vent of the gold seekers were covered
with thick carpet of moss and lichens
which, though with but a very trall
hold on the rocks, gave a sure and sat
isfactory foothold. Only in few places
are there pebbles or powders, and but
few rock slides, but where these do exist
the individual powders are so large
and massed so iwegularly that travel
over them is more difficult than over the
SOLID, unbroken benches, OF earth
there is practically none, but in the
course of ages a black vegetable muck
has accumulated i'm some of the crevices
and in pot holes along the river bottom
Ssrubby timber, spruce, birch and elder
find a foothold in the creyices, the lat
ter mainly in the wetter bottoms and
over such material the trail finds its
way. Distances from Skaguay are:
First crossing of river, TX miles; end
of road, 315 miles; small lake, five
miles; Porcupine creek, 7lla miles; sec
ond crossing of river bridge, 111a miles;
third crossing of bridge, 1874 miles;
fourth crossing of river bridge, 14h
miles; fifth crossing Of river ford, 17h
miles; summit, 10 miles; meadows, 26
miles; Lake Bennett, AZ miles.
Give miles out at the lake the eleva-
ton is AGO feet. The trail quickly as
cends to $40 feet, then sinks to 470 feet
at Porcupine creek Ina short distance
the elevation is 400 feet, and the path
zigzags down to the second crossing,
1000 feet. The fourth bridge is 1,4O0
feet above the sea, and the trail almost
at once goes upward to 2,10O feet. A
descent is then made to the ford, 1880
feet high, and then comes the climb
to the summit, an elevation of 1900
feet. From this point to the lakes the
trail is not extremely difficult"
Mr. Stretch says there is no danger
TO human life in making the trip.

Serious Injuries Sustained by Fresh-
men of University of California.
There will be no more 'rushes" at the
University Of California if President
Kellogg's latest mandate is obeyed.
Half dazed, his jaw broken, his face
a bleeding mass, Benjamin kurtz, a
newly entered freshman, was found
wandering about the campus ON re-
cent night after the rush between the
two lower classes. In the struggle
some one put his heel on Kurtz's face,
and as a result he is distigured for life,
and may have sustained an injury of
the brain. An examination showed
that a piece of flesh had been torn from
one nostril. The upper lip hung only
by shred and the ragged nature of the
tear made the injury the more serious.
All the front teeth were gone. Four
teeth had been knocked out of the
lower jaw and the bone in which they
had been imbeddedwas broken out with
them. Both the upper and lower jaws
were smashed and the flesh of all the
face crushed and bleeding.
There were two other serious casual
ties. Frank Marshall, freshman, had
his right leg broken just above the
ankle. Conlon, another freshman,
came out of the combat with broken
leg,

The St. Louis branch of the Saliva

against the tramps. The scheme is to
make Dusty Roads and Wandering Will

go to Jail and work for the state. The
first part of the plan is the army's, the
rest is the states.
Col. Evans, the army's commander,
intends to hire a building large enough
to accommodate 500 men. Baths and
fumigatiDg boxes will be put in, and
there will be a large eating-room at
tached. No one will be admitted free.
The cost of lodging and meal will be
very low, possibly not more than five
cents for both, but it will have to be
paid. In order to give everyone the
opportunity to work wood yard will
be opened in connection, in which APP
plicants may saw wood enough to earn
the price of a meal and lodging.

ishing food for a hearty meal will be
given for one cent. When the establish
ment is in operation the citizens and
police will be asked to cooperate by re-
ferring all applicants for assistance to
the food and shelter depot. If he goes
he earns his living; if he doesn't go and
persists in begging the police will ar
rest him and see that he is put at hard
labor in the county Jail. In either case
the Salvation Army people say, the
tramp problem is settled,
Col. Evans expects to be able to fit
up the building required for So, 500, and
believes that the institution when once
established will be self-supporting. He
has already started popular subscrip-
ton to raise the sum needed. He will
probably get it without difficulty.

BROUGHT BY A DOVE.
Carrier Pigeon Arrives in Portland
from ChilIxat Pass

from Chilkat Pass.
A carrier pigeon has made its fight
from the summit of Chilllat pass to its
loft in Portland, Ore, 1900 miles, bear
ing a brief message from party OF
hardy fortune seekers who are now
making their way along the Yukon to
Dawson City. 1t is the latest message
out of the land to which thousands are
on the way.
Thomas Cain took with him several
homing pigeons from Robert Uhlman,
who lives few blocks from Mr.. Gains
residence. Uhlman has been watching
for the appearance of a pigeon for some
time, Cain having stated that he would
start one when he reached the summit
of Chilkat pass. The pigeon was first
seen the other morning at an early
hour with something attached to its
left leg. It had not entered the loft
and seemed tagged out. At that time
it was not known whether the bird
really came from the Cain party. Eff
forts made TO capture the pigeon were
not successful at first. 1t would not
accept offers of food and appeared ex-
hausted. Finally it entered its loft.
On a erumpled piece Of paper torn
from a notebook was a message that
had been scrawled by Cain after his
party had reached the summit of Chill
kat. The message was read with diff
Guilty, as the penciling was somewhat
obliterated. It read as follows:
Aug. 25.-Robble Uhlman: 1 thought

The paper was attached TO the
pigeons leg with an ordinary piece Of
cord. The pigeon evidently felt the ef-
