john W. Brauer, the United States
mail carrier, who left Dawson Septem-
her 27, said
There is only one salvation for the
miners who are now at Dawson City,
and that is for them to undertake the
awful winter trip rom'Dawson to Fort
Yukon, distance of 400 miles. There
IS no food at Fort Yukon, there is none
at Dawson,and just as sure as the stars
shine, crriblesutfering will be the fate
of the Dawson miners unless he leaves
there before spring. | will make my
statement that when left Dawson the
men who were there had on an aver
age four months supply of food.
Some of them did not have months
supply and some had four or five.
The restaurant closed the night left.
1t had been selling nothing but beef
steak, for which the hungry paid So so.
When the people realize that the
boats would be unable to get up the
river, they knew that starvation
thretened them and the great STAN
pede began.

Thomas Magree, sr., the well known
San Francisco capitalist in an inter
view with the correspondent of the
Associated Press, said:
"The excitement over'the failure of
the steamers to bring food up to Daw-
son continued when the Dalton party
left. The police took charge for two
days Of the stores and warehouses of
the Northwestern and Alaska Com
mercialCOmpany as prccautiOn only.
Flour was selling at 81 pound and
no sale of less than 80 pounds was
made. No plans have yet been for
mulated to avert the starvation of
those who are short of provisions.
Those well supplied have not much
sympathy with those who are short
because of the fact that the majority
of these latter went in with little food
although abundantly warned at Lake
Bennett in advance.
at had not been discovered up to
October 16 who shot the two men in
Dawson who were caught stealing
food. One was found dead; and the
other fatally wounded, and died at

that a secret organization exists for
the purpose of shooting down thieves
The organization of hunting parties
for the winterto huntmoose was talked
of and will be carried out. Dysentery
and accompanying features were gen
eral at Dawson last summer, caused
by the swamps on which the business
of the town is built and poor drainage
and sewerage. The sickness will be
worse next summer. The river water
was bad, but there is one spring of
water out at the Catholic hospital
Nothing was talked but the grub
election. The solution will probably
be public committee to gather up

THE prospective attitude of Presi-

facturers and merchants, which has
been apparent since the Republican

WHEN or why is it that our expor-
tations to practically all of the coun-
tries which protested against the new
tariff have increased under the new
law? The thi r t e en- countries
which protested against the new law
instead of shutting out our goods in
retaliation for the passage of this act,
actually increased their purchases
from us in August and September
nearly $25, 900, 900, as compared with
the corresponding months of last year
under the Wilson law. Here is a CON
umdrum for those Democrats who in
sisted that a high tariff meant de-
struction of our market abrOads.

CONGRESS, when it meets next week
will find very gratifying showing
for the first four months of the new
tariff law. Its earnings during the
first four months have exceeded by
several millions of dollars the earnings
of the corresponding four months of

ings reached $25,OOO,OO which is
more than 25 per cent. in excess of the
November earnings in the first year
of the Wilson law.

Bereaved one, weeping bitter tears
beside the empty chair, you are not
alone in your sorrow. Human woes
have preceded you by ages and human
woes will last long after time has
taken the smart from your own wound.
But these seem naught to you, for
they were not your sorrows. Yes, dear
one, tribulation has its place and its
value and will yet live to see, In
tears are great sorrows assuaged, in
tears are great purposes born, in tears
are great resolves formed. Rise to
live as the vanished one would most
fondly wish, Thus will the dead live
again in the deeds Of good you do,
consecrated to the memory Of the life

THAT night was the greatest one
in the history of Dawson City. The
miners as soon as they heard the news
made hasty preparations to get out,
and nightfall saw the gold seekers and
men who can to-day sell out for many
thousands of dollars, leaving by thou
sands for down the river or up the
river points. The little steamer Kiu-
kuk, which was to make the trips
from Dawson to Pelly, where the Jack
Dalton trail starts, was brought into
play. She was besieged by would-be
passengers who offered as high as $3.50
that they might be aboard while she
made her journey of 175 miles to Pelly
the kiukuk left Dawson on the after
noon of September q with twelve or
fifteen passengers.
The next day we made up a party
including Herbert Raymond, of Seat
tie: Bert Nelson, of Seattle; Harry
Robertson, of San Francisco, and my
self. We started up the river in a
small river boat, the same one we had
used in going from Circle City to Daw-
son. We left Dawson about 9 p. m
and were soon on our way up the
river.
"While Jack Dalton left Dawson a
couple of days later, the situation
thara than ,t.oc +i,o mo nc - ,Y,e
when we left, and | can tell you in q
few words, the only thing you could
possibly buy was sugar, baking pow
der, spices and some dried fruit. No
flour, bacon or anything of that kind
could be purchased from any of the
stores, simply because they did not
have them. SO long as the stores had
any provisions, prices remained the
same. | want to say that the stores
treated the men all right under all
circumstance, never advancing the
prices, knowing a shortage was com
ing and knew that they had but TO
ask for high prices and receive it.
can relate however, an instance where
a private party sold to a miner a sack
of flour for $75 and bacon at 81 per
pound
II. a. Ferguson said:
1.-The situation at Dawson was re
lieved by the exodus to Fort Yukon
| doubt if there will be any actual
starvation there, but there will be a
shortage. The old-timers have pro
visionsenough to carry them through.
The stores are practically clean out.
All they would sell was five pounds
of sugar to the man. Flour could
not be bought at all. One or two
sacks were quickly picked up at $500
per sack.
Wages are still $15 per day, but
they are sure to go down to So by
next summer, and IS a day there is
no more than $3.50 day outside"

The Canadian government mounted
police chartcd the Bella and gave all
who wished a free pass to the Yukon.
TheBella isrepOrted to have left about
oct. II with POO men. According to
statements made by members of the
Dalton party, there is liable to he
trouble Of the most serious kind this
winter at Dawson. Billy Leak told
one Of the men in the party ahead of
him whom he met at Dyea, that all
the people talk about at Dawson was
the food famine. Men were gather
iug in groups and cursing with might
and main the newcomers that were
constantly coming into Klondike
loaded with scarcely any provisions.
The mounted police were offered free
transportation to the grub placers
further down the Yukon to Fort Yu-
kOn, but to the countless hundreds
who have labored hard all through
the summer accommodating Il grub
stake, the prospect was uninviting
to say the least.
The men figured that it would take
all their earnings i'll gold to pay their
living expenses at Fort Yukon during
the winter, and that in the spring
they would not even have enough left
to pay passage back to Dawson, to
say nothing of purchasing enough
food to subsist on until they could
get started again. TO these poor fel-
lows the mounted police was no bet
ter than the prospect at Dawson of
being compelled to live on half rations
until the supply boats could reach the
diggings in the spring.

THOSE people who were disap-
pointed at the destruction of the reci-
procity arrangements under the Will
son act will be gratified to know that
the Dingley law is likely to operate in
this line in wider and more complete
way than did the Mckinley law, and
reciprocity under the new tariff act
will, it is said, be ofeven greater value
and give greater satisfaction than was
the case under the old law which was
so popular.

Quite Romantic.

Royal Jackman was married about a
week ago on the banks vi the Rio Grande
River in Arizona, under very romantic
circumstances. His wedding day had
arrived and he was TO be married at the
home Of the BRIDES father which vas
on the other side Of the swollen Rio
Crande, which could not be forded on
account Of the heavy rains. Time
vas limited as all arrangements had
been made for them to take the Overland
tram for San Francisco, but the rushing
river separated Royal from his lady
love, he being on the station side and
the time for the train that they were to
take was not long. Two miles and a half
down stream was the only available
crossing place and to go that distance
and back to the BRIDES residence, and
receive the marriage vows, Royal knew
time was too short to make the train.
In this case true love found q way. BY
a code of signals which were given in
pantomimic gestures, the couple met at
the crossing two miles below and were
united in the drizzling rain while the
whirring Rio Grande thrummeJ the
wedding march. They made the train
and are spending the honeymoon in
San Francisco. Royal writes that this
was the greatest love conquest he ever
experienced.
Mr.. Jackman has many friends here
who, as does the DISPATCH, wish the
couple their full share of happiness and
prosperity.

They were married and chose to keep it
TO themselves, as they had a perfect
right to do, and it did not become pub
lie until now. They are two OF Truckee's
best known young people. Both were
qorn and raised right here, and they
have a large circle Of friends. Mr..
Byrne, BY strict adherence to duty, has
raised himself up until he holds a re-
sponsible position on the railroad. Mrs.

and most amiable daughters. The Re-
publican, even at this late hour, joins
their numerous friends in wishing them
q happy prosperous journey through life
