SAN DIEGO, Sept. 21.-(Regular Corre-
spondence) Howard M. Kutchin. special
agent of the treasury, in charge of the
salmon fisheries in Alaska, has arrived
here EN- route to Washington. Mr.. Kut-
chin has been in Alaska for some time,
and says that the people there are as much
affected by the Klondike craze as those
further away. He says that there is little
doubt of the fabulous wealth being taken
from the country, but adds that the fright
full hardships, Inevitable distress and pos
sible death which confront every adven-
turer in that dreadful region is a side of
the picture which has not been given full
and fair consideration. Mr.. Kutchn was
at the starting point of the two passes
Dyea and Skagway-and says that the
scenes there and the horrible reports of
men returning in despair are enough to
appal the stoutest hearts. The hardships
to be encountered at the new-found Ell
Dorado will always be greater than in any
other gold country the world has ever
known, and the wealth taken fom there
will be well earned. Men have been known
TO go stark mad from the terrible insect
infection at Dawson, and these are not the
worst of the pestilential things that the
adventurer must face. Those who do
reach Dawson city without ample provis-
ions will suffer terribly this winter.
