age of each cheese will be 40 pounds. The
factory has received 235 900 gallons of milk.
The factory is now closed and as it was the

The Belfast creamery has had an increase
of 10 patrons the past week, and is now re-
ceiving 500 gallons, or about 1000 pounds of
cream per week. This will average 700
pounds of butter fat, which means $40 per
week in cash distributed among the farmers
of this vicinity. This is certainly a good
showing for a new business, started without
any attempt at "boom.'

This brings all the branches of carriage

great convenience.

The Missing Schooner Julia S. Bailey

The three-masted schooner Julia S. Bal
ley, Capt W. A. Wyman, from Norfolk, Va,
Oct 20, with coal for Saco Me, went through
Vineyard Sound with large fleet of vessels
Nov. 9, but no trace of her has been found
since Nov. 10th Dec. Sd it was given out that
the schooner Harold L. Berry, Capt. Hanna,
of Woolwich, Me-, was in collision with an
unknown schooner on the night of Nov 13,
somewhere north of Cape Cod 1t was be-
iieved that the unknown vessel was the
Bailey and that she went down after the
collision. The crew of five men and the
master may have been picked up by an
outward bound vessel, but the chance is
remote.
Capt. Wyman was formerly master of the
Gardiner B. Reynolds, but was unfortunate
enough to have a collision while in that yes
sci and the vessel was sold and new mast
appointed. Capt. Wyman then bought a
thirty second of the Bailey, which he has
since commanded. The Bailey has been con-
sidered a rather unucky craft. Before
Capt. Wyman took charge of her, Capt Jor-
dan, who was then commander, disappeared
while the vessel was at Boston, and was
never after heard from With the captain
also, went the vessels freight money, so that
it is not presumed that he met with foul
play. The schooner was owned by Augustus
Bailey of Gardiner, Me-, and was valued at
about 5000. She registered 3O6 tons net
and was built at Bath In 1881. She was
partially insured.

Concerning Phoenix Row.

1t is to be regretted that few business
changes common enough everywhere, should
have been made the text for an item calcu-
lated to spread abroad an impression inju-
rious to our city and detrimental to proper
ty interests here. 1t is nothing new to have
vacant store OF two, or for changes to be
made in business locations. For long
time two large brick stores at the foot of
Main street were vacant, but one is now oc-
cupied by the creamery and the other by H.
c. Pitcher, dealer in Aroostook potatoes.
The recent changes along Phoenix Row
which furnish the text of the item referred
to are unimportant, and this section of our
city still contains many substantial and en-
terprising firms. On the lower corner is the
well known Moody's drug store; next door
IS w. t. Colburn's shoe store, then the jew
elry store of George R. Poor, long occupied
in the same line by Isaac Allard, then the
old esta blished drug store of Poor & Son.
Mayo & White have not left the Row, as re-
ported, but have moved their retail depart
ment to the Hervey store, and negotiations
are pending for the store vacated by them.

en- utensils, etc, and at the end of the Row
is the clothing store of W. A. Clark, manu-
facturer and retailer, the marble works of
Mark Wood & Son, the paint shop OF WEIGH
& Stevens and the dental rooms of DIR. Isaac

turn the occupants Of the second floors we
find the office of DR.. L. W, Hammons, the

shoe shop of S. A. Estes, Miss Annie Cow

ton Tea Company, the rooms of the Gospel
Mission, the law Offices of Joseph William

bar, the meat-market of W. Fl. Staples, the
lunch car of Welch & Patterson, and the
retail boot and shoe store. This is not
bad showing. There are good sidewalks,

the location is certainly desirable one for

OLYMPIA, WASH, Nov 8, 1897.
There are two established routes to the
hiondlke country from Puget Sound. One is
va the ocean to St. Michael thence via river
Hteamer up the Yukon. This Journey is
made IN the summer months only. The
ether IS also by steamer TO Dyea, Skaguay
" Pyramid Harbor and thence over the
Mlcoot, White Pass, and the Daulton
rail respectively to the headwaters of the
ukon and then down by boat The dis
lapces over the various trails to boat naviga-
lon on lakes Lindeman and Bennett and
'Ae Pelly River is as follows:
l)yea to Lake Lindeman, % miles Skag-
4y to Lake Bennett, AZ miles from Pyra-
Ald Harbor to Pelly River over the Daul-
l'h Trail, 4l5 miles. Each of these trails
as been successfully used by parties going
INTO the Yukon, the first two being most
generally used. Distance from Seattle to
yea or Skaguay, $50 miles; to Pyramid
Harbor, 800 miles; Seattle to mouth of Yu-
son River, $500 miles from mouth of Yu-
6on to Dawson City, LIPS miles. Dyea or
Akaguay to Dawson City, $50 miles. The
time of travel from Seattle by either way is
about the same-thirty or forty days.
No person should start for the gold fields
with less than $500, excluding his transpor-
tation to Puget Sound. This sum will be
barey sufficient for one man for one year

Persons inexperienced in mountain travel
are cautioned that utmost care should be
taken to preserve secure footing in climb

year not more than half dozen have lost
