sKAGuAY.
The Account of One or Our Townsmen
Who Recently Returned.

Mr.. w. S. Chipp. who left Seattle for
Skaguay on August 18th, arrived in this
city last night on the boat, and this
morning favored the reporter with full
account of that place as he found it
while there.
He says of all those who went to
Skaguay, between ten and fifteen per
cent only succeeded III crossing the pass
and getting to the lakes. and of those
not over five per cent have found means
>of getting down the river, while forty,
Or probably as high as fifty, per cent of
those who landed at Dyea got to the
lakes. The reason attributed to this
is that the pass is not so difficult to
cross, and natives can be hired to carry
Outfits from the latter more readily than
than the former. Horses and mules
are the principal beasts of burden. A
man leading horse can carry from fifty
to seventy pounds, while those en-
lployed for carving. can in some cases
take as high as 200 pounds The ma
Atives are the best carriers, and can hold
put better than anyone else, the reason
Fbeing that they are short, heavy set,
rugged men, and the leaning over with
heavy load does not tire them so much
as it would taller person who is not
accustomed to the work.
Amongst the natives of Alaska the
men do all the hard manual labor, while
the women attend to household duties
and do fancy work, at which they are
adopts. Their embroidery work is far
superior to any done by the natives IN
this country, and would arouse the envy
OF many a pretty Dalles dame who
prides herself on being proficient with
the needle.
About 1900 horses have been shipped
to Skaguay, but at present not more
| than 500 could be found there, the rest
having been killed on the pass or dying
of starvation. In places ten or twelve
dead horses may be seen in heap along
the trail, which will make it very disa-
greeable next summer, when the warm
weather sets iu, for persons trying to
cross this way. People may be able to
get over on the snow during the winter,
but next summer it will be next to inn
/ possible to cross from Skaguay. A road
/ may be built along the Skaguay river by
which way it would be comparatively
easy to reach the lakes; but as 1t would
take about $4,000 to build it, it Will prob
ably be some time before it will be open.
! At present there are some 500 or 600
frame buildings in Skaguay, and as
lumber is hard to get, but few of them
are finished in way that would make
them comfortable to live in during the
winter.
After arriving. numerous persons
camped on the tide land, and on Sep
tember 18th an unusually high tide
floated a number of camps, and some
met with quite a loss in this way.
About the same date the Skaguay river
rose very rapidly in consequence of the
severe rain storms, and washed out the
bridge across the river near the town.
Some parties put in ferry, and until
they were forced to come down to q rea-

nipeg'' Wright and his sons, Jim and
Bert, are trying to purchase 20, 600 head
in Gillian and surrounding counties, and
so far they have met with poor success.
A few days ago Jim Wright purchased
5000 head of seven-year-old ewes from
Nat Webb, near Lone Rock, for which
he payed $2.10 per head. That is big
price for old ewes. -------|
Monday about noon man entered the
sheriff's office in Pendleton to report
the loss of $S5 from misplaced conf
dence. He gave his name as A. P.
! Noren and said he was accompanied by
a man named Shuttlewood, whom he
had been more or less associated with
for five years past, and always consid-
cred him honest. They had just arrived
in Pendleton. from Boise City. on their
way to Seattle, and went into saloon
Monday morning for refreshments.
Shuttlewood complained of being sick
and went out the back door only to dis
appear permanently. Noren's sorrow
resulted not SO much from his partners
peculiar disappearance as the fact that
he carried $50 of Neron's money, which
had been entrusted to his care.
I A dispatch from Oregon City says
"Charles B. Moore, the new register of
the land office here, came down from
Salem this morning, duly qualified to
take possession of the Office. On account
of the inconvenience that would be
caused by making out reports for frac-
tions of a week, however, he concluded
not to enter upon the discharge of his
duties as register until the beginning of

Some of the parties who intend going
back next spring will club together and
build large cabin, into which they will
pile their supplies and leave one man
from each party to guard them, the
others returning to spend the winter il

On Sept. 29th there were two feet of
snow on the summit, while at Sksguay
there was but very little. Since that
time, however, nearly all of this melted.

and seem to have 40 desire to return.
AS to the suffering of those on the
other side of the pass during the winter,
he says that in nearly every case they
will suffer more from the want of the
right kind of clothing than from hunger.
1t would be well for many who are
contemplating going to Klondike, to
have talk with Mr.. Chipp, as he may
cause them to change their mind about
going, giving them some new ideas, and
at the same time save them about $3.50
by telling them the proper kind of an

What manures are best for asparagus
where it is difficult to obtain stable
manure is question often asked. 1t is
answered as follows in American Gar
dening:
What msuures are best to use depends
in some measure ON the condition of the
soil itself If the latter be loose and
well filled with humus, we can well get
along without stable manure and may
put our sole reliance ON fertilizers But
after that comes the the question of the
exact state of fertility of the soil. If
there be plenty of potash already in the
soil, good superphosphate would prob
ably give good results, and it may be
used at the rate Of from $50 pounds per
acre upward. In most cases, however,
we will have have to apply potash in
some form if we desire the best results,
and there is nothing better than wood
ashes, or perhaps cottonseed hull ashes.
If these cannot be had, muriate of pot
ash may be used. Tobacco refuse would
also be good thing to supply the pot
ash. Wood ashes may be used at the rate
of so to 200 bushels per acre. If UNI
leached, we may add a few hundred
pounds (and up to half ton per acre.
of bone. If leached we simply give a
double or treble dose of the ashes.
The applications can be made at al
most any time of the year. A few hun
dred pounds of nitrate of soda per acre
might be scattered over the bed in early
spring in order to push the early growth,
