1t was impossible to find firm footing;
several times also we had to wade the
stream. The valley along whose bot
tom we were thus travelling was narrow
and canyon-like, with steep bare
mountains rising high on either side.
The tops Of these mountains, so far as
we could see, were capped with ice;
and this great glacier stretched out
long fingers down into the valley along
each of the gulches or reCesses in the
mountain wall. Finally, crossing the
river a last time on a fallen tree, we
followed the trail up into the more
rocky and difficult portion of the val
ley; and some miles of this brought
us, thoroughly tired, to our hating
place.
From Sheep Camp, where we were,
the only way to get our supplies over
the pass was to get Indians to carry
them. Although these Indians are no
stronger than average white men, yet
they greatly excel them in point of
endurance, and they willingly under
go extreme fatigue for any limited
period. At this time, however, the
trail was so bad, on account of the soft
ening of the SHOWS in the hot June
sun, that they concluded to strike for
higher wages. This was the cause of
some little delay for us,

to the men in good looks. These Wo-

said to prevent snow blindness in the

continually stepped on my head. How
ever, slept several hours.
The system of eating is worthy Of
note. The table accommodated about
six at time, whereas, as / have men
toned, we were fifty or sixty in all.
At each meal one or two, or sometimes
three, sets Of passengers would be fed;
then the captain, the sailors, the Chi
nese cook, and the dish-washer, after
which the rest of us got our rations,
in good time. AS we grew very hun
cry during this process, we would
stand around patiently waiting our
chance to slip in; but sometimes be-
fore we had tasted the tempting liver
and coffee Ito say nothing Of the
beans), we would be summarily elected
by the dish-washer, who was a very
young man of dashing exterior and pc
culiar vocabulary, and who would dis
perse us with the assertion that "By

''The trip from salt water to the head
Of the navigable waters of the Yukon
is usually made in two stages, of each
about fifteen miles. The trader at
Dyea had brought in a few horses, and
we engaged him to transport our camp
outfit and provisions over the first
stage, where the trail, though rough,
can be gone over by pack-animals.
Some Of the miners, however, engaged
Indians Immediately at Dyea to pack
the whole distance, and, as it afterward
proved, this was the wiser plan. We
could also have obtained saddle ami
mails, but our little party preferred to
walk for the sake Of getting toughened

Organizing.

We have spent the last ten DAYS
organizing Populist clubs at each
schoolhouse in every community.
We have confined our work 10
Natchitoches parish, though there
are organizers at work on the
same lines in many other parishes
in the State.
There is much interesting and
important work to be done in these
clubs right away, and we have
not failed to get those who haye
come out to our meetings very
much interested.
We have failed to organize in
but one place and there the fire was
raging in all the surrounding coun-
try, and most people were sitting
up Of nights with it ; but that
community will organize in a few
weeks.
Wards and 6 have been COM
pleteIy worked up, and are to-day
in the best working shape they
have ever been.
Wo are going right on through
the other wards until the entire
parish is thoroughly in line.
Many people have joined us
since the late farce, and every old
reformer is still in the ring and it
only requires proper organization
to sweep the country.
This parish has never been prop
erly organized by the Peoples par
ty nor more than half canvassed.
and when it is, the opposition will
fade into thin air.
Let the old guard rally around |
their colors and the new recruits
fall in line, and victory is in the
air.

The Railroad.

The petitions to the Police jury
asking them to order an election in
regard to the railroad tax are be-
ing numerously signed by the citi-
zens Of the wards through which
the road is to run. The people of
these wards feel the need of such
a convenience as this road will
give, and they will no doubt vote
the tax when the election comes
of, while as q matter of princi-
pie, we oppose subsidies to rail-
roads, our State Constitution with
a view OF inducing capital to come
into our State and build factories,
relieves such factories from taxa
tion for ten years, so we can see
nothing wrong in our people
l~ST.S
through q voluntary tax on their
part, inducing an enterprise to
come into their midst which will
bring far more general benefits to
all our citizens. Factories will not
come where they cannot have the
benefits of easy and cheap trans.
portation, for competition has be-
come so close that only those most
favorably situated can now sue
ceed. With good transportation
facilities we may get factories, but
without them we need not look for
any foreign capital to seek invest.
ment in our parish.
The railroad will put as much
into our parish in the way of taxa
ton as the people pay it. So if
the revenues of the parish are hon
estly used, the tax levy for general
purposes should be reduced, and
the people voting the tax should
pay out no more money than they
now do, for the levy should be that
much less. All these things should
be taken note Of IN discussing the
question Of. voting for or against
The tax.

A Correction.

In metioning two weeks ago the
objection of 3 members of the
railroad committee to having the
Welch railroad use the track of
the N.& r. K. v. railway from
Natchez- to Grand Ecore, we are
informed that these gentlemen OBJ
ject only to such use from Match
ez to Natchitoches, and have no
objection to the use of said track
from this city to Grand Ecore.
We are glad this is true, and hope
that the objections will continue to
grow less until we shall got the
road.

For some weeks past tie Caucasian
has been running an advertisement OF
the Swamp Angel Company. We had
not given it very much attention, and
while we had satisfied ourselves that it
was a good medicine, we had no true
idea Of its real value. From direct
evidence we can affirm to any one in
terested that this medicine is possibly
what has long been looked for. We
should be slow to make this assertion
but for the fact that some strong testi-
monlals have come under our notice,
and we here present them. The orig.
inal letters are now in the possession

Esquire J. f. Satterfield's house was
discovered to be on fire and although
there were but few persons i'm Santa
Fe at the time, each and every man
went to work promptly, and after few
minutes of hard lighting, the flames
were subdued. While every one did
heroic work, we desire TO make special
mention of Will Gray, Henry Cross and
Will Owings, all colored, for the faith
full work they did, and always do on
such occasions.
The entire community was shocked
last Friday evening to hear of the un-
expected death of Mrs. Latta. She had
been sick for several days, but no one
thought it OF a serious nature until
Thursday night, when she was taken
suddenly worse, and at 81 o'clock the
summons came to her to come up high
er. She lived consistent christian
life, and no one has any doubt but that
death has proven great gain to her.
To the bereaved family we would say,
"Weep not as those who have no hope
of meeting their loved one in the be-
yond."

ness, is able to be out again.
