ton, one or the passengers on the
steamer Alki. speaking of the situation
in the Klondike, said:
There is no need OF any one worry
ing over their friends starving OF
course. provisions are not plentiful, and
supplies should be taken in in the
Spring, after which time all the provis-
ions in the country will be exhausted"
Speaking of the rush to file claims,
Mr.. harrington said: For some time
before / left the Commissioner office
was unable to accommodate the
miners. and the men stood in line for
days, with the mercury 40 degrees be-
low zero. in order to file claims. The
biggest sensation in the way of a strike
was No. 43, on Hunker. 1t paid si5 to
the pan. If 1t had not been for the ex.
odus to Fort Yukon, 100 claims would
have been worked on Bonanza, Ell

ing out well.
'On the way out we encountered
good weather nearly all the time" said
Foote. I'VE left Dawson Nov. 81 Part
of the way we threw off our coats and
went in shirt sleeves and bare hands.
1t was only Is below zero then. At the
Chilkoot summit we encountered a
fearful snow storm and We're lost for a
time. 1t lasted all the way from the
head of Linderman to the summit. One
man went ahead with a stick, poking It
in the snow, to find the hard path to
walk on. Beef and mutton at Dawson
is being sold at 81 to $3.50 per sack,
while bacon and beans brought 81 to

say that starvation turks there are the
men who were there only few weeks,
got discouraged, homesick. and cry
starvation as an excuse for coming

rainfall, of melted snow in inches and hundredths.
during the past twelve hours. Isobars, or solid
lines connect pc!n of equal air pressure; iso.
therms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The
word "hiGh" means high barometric pressure and
is usually accompanied by fair weather: ''ow"
refers to low pressure and is usually preceded
and accompanied by cloudy weather and rains.
Lows" usually first appear on the Washington
coast: When he pressure is high in the interior
and low along the coast and the isobars extend
north and south along the coast. rain is probable:
but when the "low" is inclosed with Isobars of
marked curvature, rain south OF Oregon is improb
able. With "high" in the vicinity Of Idaho, and
the pressure falling to the California coast warmer
weather may be expected in summer and colder
weather in winter The reverse of these conditions
