A NARROW ESCAPE
THRILLING EXPERIENCE OF M.
G. FORD AT SLEEPS CAMP.
How a Los Angeles Klondiker Escaped
the Awful Avalanche Last
Month-A Graphic Letter

The varied and awful tales of suffer-
ing coming daily from the Klondike' and
en- route to that land of gold have caused
the friends and relatives of those who
have ventured to make the trip prior to
the closing of the region this winter to
spend many an uneasy hour thinking of
the hardships their friends are under
going in their quest for gold.
Among the many who left for the
Klondike during August was M. c. Ford
of North Daily street, and during the
past two months various reports have
been received, stating that the party
was having a very severe time, one or
the party having had to return to Los
Angeles owing to an injury received on
the journey.
Ford's party was reported to have
been caught in the frightful avalanche
that swept Sleeps Camp off the board,
and much anxiety was felt by Ford's
family and friends as to his safety. Great
was the delight of his wife few days age
to receive a letter from her husband,
written on September 18th Mr.. Ford
writes quite graphically of the avalanche
| that created havoc and disaster
among the hundreds on the trail. The
avalanche occurred on the morning of
the 17th, and the fortune of those that
did escape must have been miraculous.
Mr.. Ford was awakened about $3.50 a.
m. by hearing frightful noise, and
hardly had he time to arise before tor
rent of water swept upon them. The
adventurers were comNslled to climb
the trees around them to save being
swept away, leaving their tents food,
etc., to the mercy of the flood. After
the water subsided they began their
first digging" for their belongings
which were found covered by dirt and
slush, scattered along the trail. Fords
party were very successful in recover
ing nearly all of their outfit. though
many poor fellow lost his ALL even to
clothing and money. Mr.. Ford expects
to be able to get over the summit before
the winter fully sets in, though he writes,
that they will find it impossible to get
anywhere near their destination this
winter. From the tone of Mr. Ford 8
letter those who have put off their going
till spring can feel they have lost moth
ing but cold, rain, snow and ice, not to
count innumerable hardships.

HOME PRODUCTS CAMPAIGN
A House to House Canvass by Ladie.
Begins Today

The home products campaign will be
vigorously inaugurated this morning,
when women will start out on a house
toulouse canvass to take up the subject
and distribute a prospectus stating the
objects of the movement, and some facts
and figures which are thought to be con-
vincing as we'll as startling.
The prospectus bears the endorsement
of the Merchants and Manufacturers
association and is an eloquent disserta-
tion on the subject, of which the follow
ing is an extract:
"Our products are world-famed. They
are shipped east and to Europe and ap
preciated there, and why should the peo
pie of Southern California condemn what
others commend? Why should you in
sist in calling for a foreign article with
out having at least investigated the mer-
it's of the home product? There are many
articles offered for sale under foreign
label, the ingredients of which are
shipped from here for a long distance
and then manufactured in the east or
Europe, shipped back over the same dis
tance."

by Mrs. Thomas p Quinn, wife of the
former president of the recently ex-
pelled Branci, No. 2 of the Social DEM

growing out of the fact that Mrs. Kava-
naugh had charged Quinp with being a
Pinkerton detective. The male mem

part in the row when the assault on
Mrs. Kavanaugh began, ard riot was
narrowly averted. Mrs. Kavanaugh is

ANU OtIIer Growers.
The foregoing call has brought out
much comment as to the best mode Of
procedure whereby the rancher, in this
line of fruit, may be assured of being re-
imbursed' for his labor. One grower
writes he knows what to grow and how
to grow it, but he warts to know how
he is going to get his pay for doing it.
Another says he will say few words on
general conditions and low prices:
while another says he knows all about
general conditions, in fact is too well
acquainted with them, and wants some
one to tell him how to change them.
Another claims to be an experienced
packet but poor seller, assd he wants
pointers on this art. Still another says
he is no speaker, but he wants to talk a
little. The indications point to a very
interesting gathering, where every one
will have a chance to give his experience
and make suggestions. 1t will be we'll
for each grower to bring samples of his
dried fruit to illustrate his work.

UnanSWerable

The logic of Senator Whites article

from every point of view, and we don't
expect that any but "the fools" that

attempt to rebut it, otherwise than by
brute force. Those who would advocate
that annexation after reaG:eag White s
