HEADED FOR KLONDYKE.
DR.. j. W. Reed, Of Butte City, Writes
From st. Mlchaels-Now En- Route
for Dawson City.

From the Butte City tMont.) Miner.
From time to time since the Kion-
dyke excitement set in the Miner has
published letters and articles in which
mention was made of Butte men who
were headed for the gold fields. Up
to date. however, there has been no
direct and authentic communication
from any one of them. This lack is
supplied this morning. Below will be
found a letter from DIR. j. w. Reed to
his family that vas received yester-
day. 1t Is In three instaIlments and a
perusal will show that in spite of the
reports that have been published here
and that were current at st. Michaels,
he proposes to push on to Dawson
City and take his chances with the Q
mainder who are at that point anxious
ly awaiting In opportunity to go over
the trail.
The brev1ty of the letters and the
sententious manner In which they are
written indicate that the doctor was a
busy man and that he had become too
much inoculated with the restless ex-
element of the place and the occasion
to pay much attention to correspond
ence. The letter is as follows:
ST. MIcHAELs ISLAND, Aug. 25.-On
board the Cleveland. Dear folks ct
home: One week ago this morning
we arrived at this harbor. The boat
that Ia to take us up the Yukon ar
rived four days ago within nine miles
of us, but on account of rough seas has
not been able to enter the harbor, but
to-day 1t is calmer and she will prob
ably come In. There are about 400 men
at this point awaiting transportation
up the river.
Since writing the above our boat has
arrived and vi will be of as soon
as she can be loaded; 1t will take
about two days. TIE boat we go on
tthe HeaIey) usually makes the trip
to Dawson in about 15 days.
About 40 miners came down to-day
bringing very conflicting reports of
the mines and the scarcity of provis-
ions. Our party, that Is the Cleveland
passengers, who had no provisions,
bought q boat here, paying $40, 900 for
1t, and will load 1t with provisions.
Several boat loads of provisions will
start from this point but probably lit
tie more than enough to supply the
passengers that viii go in from here.
The captain of the Cleveland has just
told us that we 60 aboard the Healey
tomorrow. Hope this will find all
well.
August 26-Since writing tine en-
closed letter I have talked with sew
eral parties who left Dawson City 8
days ago. They all say gold is plenty
and provisions scarce. They advise all
who have no provisions to turn back.
I have plenty to last me one year.
The other boats besides the one we
go on arrived this morning and will
return as soon as they can load. They
also report that good many are leav-
ing the country on account OF the
scarcity Of grub. / will write as often
as I have an opportunity to mail let
ters.
August 37-Now aboard of our Yu-
kon river boat; expect to start to-
night. I win write as soon as I arrive
at Dawson. / have talked with q num-
Der who are going out and they all say
the reports Of the mines have not been
exaggerated and many of them would
return II they had grub for the winter.
Love to all. J. W. REED.

More Premiums Taken by N. B. Will
kerson & Sons.

X. B. Wilkerson, OF the hrm OF M.
B. Wilkerson g. Sons, proprietors of
the Mexico and Santa Fe nurseries,
has just returned from the Paris fair,
where he had charge of a fine display
of fruit from their orchards. He got
four first and one second premiums at
Paris as follows:
1st on best display of green fruits.
LIST ON best plate of Rambo apples.
LIST on best plate of grapes.
LIST on best plate of plums.
End on best plate of pears.
This makes thirteen first and three
second premiums they have taken
this season at three fairs, Mexico,
Moberly and Paris. On account of SO
much other business to attend to, they
could not attend the C~entralia, Shell
bina and Fulton fairs with their dis
plays. They had on exhibition at
each place over one hundred differ
emit varieties of fine fruit, which was
about one-thlrd of the different kinds
they are growing for sale.
1t is the intention of these people
now to have a much larger display at
the different fairs next season, and it
would be to the interest of the different
fair associations to offer more and bet
ter prizes on agricultural and horti-
cultural products, as it would bring
larger displays of ell kinds of farm
products, and by that means bring
more people to the fairs and give
the farmers and fruit growers a
chance to educate themselves on
the best varieties of stuff to grow.
M. B. Wilkerson & Sons r old and
reliable nursery men, and have by
their continual fair and square dealing,
gained the confidence of their custom
ers. They have on hand about four
hundred thousand fine trees for the
trade and will put out about that many
gratis and buds next season. They
have several good agents at work and
employ several men to carry on their
nurseries and orchards.
The largest orchard ever set in this
county was sold in 1896 by W. M.
Pearson, their agent, who is located
in Mexico, and who has been with
them nearly four years. There is
about 60 acres in this orchard. 1t is
located about ~ miles south of Mex
leo, and is owned by Mr.. M. B. Guth-
rie, one of our enterprising real estate
agents. Mr.. Guthrie's ground and
trees show what value he puts in the
fruit business.

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the
bladder, was created for n purpose,
and If not doctored too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except
In rare cases. 1t is situated back of
and very close to the bladder, there
fore any pain, disease or inconven-
fence manifested in the kidneys back,
bladder or urinary passage is often, by
mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort.
The error Is easily made and may be
as easily avoided. To find out cor
rectly, set your urine aside for TWEEN
ty-four hours; q sediment or settling
indicates kidney or bladder trouble.
The mild and the extraordinary effect
of DIR. KiImer's Swamp Root, the
great kidney and bladder remedy, is
soon realized. If you need a medi-
cine You should have the best. At

You may have a sample bottle and
