LETTER FROM AL GRIFFITH.
Thinks no VIII Get to QaWlon City
Before the Birda

The KEYSTONE received the fol
lowing letter from AL Griffith, whe
left Ketchum September 18th ir
company with David Jones, 10,
johnson and Will Smith to make
the trip this winter, if possible, tt
Dawson City. Mr.. Griffith writes
from Sheep Camp which is situated
at the foot of Chilcoot Pass under
date of Nov. 9th:
EDITOR KEYSTONE: Thinking thai
your readers, especially those on
Wood River, would be interested in
some notes from this part of the
cold world, write you brief letter
for publication in the columns Of
Ketchum's popular paper.
We are in camp here yet, but
hope to be able to start on our jour
ney tomorrow.
We were delayed three weeks on
our trip by taking the advice of men
that we met on the road returning
from the new FL Dorado, who adj
vised US not to attempt to cross the
Chilcoot Pass until next spring.
Wishing to be the judges as TO the
feasibility of the undertaking, four
of our parry, the writer included,
pushed ahead to make a personal
investigation of the route and found
it to be accessible. Instead of there
being five feet of snow on the pass,
as had been represented to US, we
found less than five inches.
After our exploring tour over Chill
coot Pass and going as far as Lake
Linderman, we concluded that the
trip could me made with the neces-
sary supplies, 80 retraced our steps
and went back to Juneau to get our
outfit, resolving to get to Klondike
or "bust."
We reached Sheep Camp at the
base of the Chilcoot Pass, as our
friends have been previously in
formed, on the End of November
and it has taken us up to date to
get our supplies $4,000 pounds to
he top of the summit, which are
now ready to load and pull down
he river on the ice; at least We
will try to make the trip, but have
made up our minds not to travel
when it is colder than we can stand,
,r when it is storming. At the time
am writing these lines it is six de-
frees below zero and a heavy north
Wind blowing. AS it is too cold fol
IS to enjoy an outing to-day, We
concluded to stay in camp and keep
lose to the fire. If the weather is
however, we will make
he trip over the summit Tomorrow
md camp at Lake Bennett.
There is not much of interest to
write about at this point. When
he gold-hunters reach here, it is
'nly the beginning of their trip to
be promised land.
Sheep Camp is thriving littl.
'lace. There is plenty of employ
oent for all the men here in build
6g, working on the tramways and
'acking. Wages are from two to
we dollars per day and board.
There will be one tramway III
peration in the course of a month
r so and two more in the spring
instead of paying, as people have
o now, so cents per pound to get
n outfit to Lake Bennett, it will

THAT TEN PES CENT CLAUSE

San Francisco Commercial News.
The discussion of the 10 per cent ad valorem
discriminating duty by high officials at Wash
in gtop will be watched with great interest by
the merchan is of this country, and where
public good, rather than selfish gain, is hoped
for-if any one hopes for public good that
does not mean his personal gain-thero is a
sincere wish the new law be sustained. Briefly.
Great Britain has built military highway,
with swift ferry service at each end, to have
a quick service through British territory, from
her capital to her Oriental and Australasian
provinces. Her highly subsidized lines have
seriously affected the business OF the unpro-
tected American lines of steamers from this
coast to the Orient, and 10 Australia, while,
under the bonding system. her subsidized rail-
road, untrammeled by the Interstate Com
merce Comm ission, has been able to cut under
American overland roads, and has taken away
from them large and extremely valuable
trade.
Years ago the Co numerical News called at.
tention 10 the fact that while no waite borne
commerce between American orts was per-
m1tted except by carriers built and owned in
the United States, land carriage was as freely
permitted by foreigners as If this highly pro-
tected country was under free-trade rule. For
examule, no foreign vessel can trade on the
great lakes between American ports. while
sea ports, goods brought to these ports by for
eign steamers, carry such goods from Cana
dian cities TO the American side and deliver
them In bond at any American point desired
While the "long and short haul clause of
the interstate commerce act prevents the
Northern Pacific, the Great Northern, the
Southern Pacific or the Atchison and Topeka
from making discriminating rates for, say,
Aslatic goods landed on this coast and dea-
tined for the Atlantic eaboard. rates tha,
would discriminate against. Omaha or Osh-
kosh, the Canadian Pacific, bound by no such
rules, can charge its local traffic what it
pleases, and yet cut under in its through busi-
ness, SO as 10 take from American steamers
and railways all of the trade 1t desires.
Under these circums tances it seems but logi-
cal that the Government should supply the
same rules to ''coastwise" commerce on land
as TO water-borne commerce. That such ac-
tion will assist the two American lines there
is nc doubt; that 1t will create monopoly is
lines, backed by the great overland roads, is
extremely probable.
