A great many farmers think that
the next thing to do after harvest is
stacking, but it is not. The first
thing he wants to do is to see that
his binder is safely under cover and
not left out in the weather to rust and
warp. That will use machine up

FIVE DAYS TO DAWSON.
Andrew r. BurieiGh Has an Alaska
Railroad Proposifiou.

Andrew f. Burleigh announced to a
Post-Intelligencer reporter yesterday that
he would within g few days devote his
time and energies towards the further
ance Of an undertaking which involves
the transportation Of passengers from Sc
attic to Dawson City. the metropolis OF
the famed Klondike, within a period CT
five days. OF the entire success of the
scheme he says he has no misgivinSs;
that he has perfected his plans 10 such
extent that he Is convinced that the feat
can be accomplished, and within a reas-
onably short space OF time. The ex-
penditure of s.. 500. 600 is required and Mr..
Burleigh outlined, briefly. the route and
his plans as follows:
The route lies from Seattle to the head
of Lynn canal 925 niles-thence across
Chilkat-not Chilkoot or the Dyea pass
but Chilkat pass, and the old Dalton
TRAN which the Indians have used for
centuries in crossing the Yukon TO Arkell
lake, a distance OF another 80 miles;
thence down Arkell lake and the Tuh-
keena river. which empties into the Yu-
kon fifteen miles below the treacherous
White Horse rapids. and on down the big
stream 10 Dawson. From the head OK
Arkell lake by water to Dawson 1t is 4S3
miles. so you can see the actual distance
by the route | have described is only l,1lo
miles, and all but $50 by navigable water
row gauge railroad.
My plan involves the construction of
two fifteen-knot ships at a cost Of 500. 900:
the railroad st sl.5o0000. and three small
boats for navigating Arkell. Tuhkeena
and the Yukon at s50o.0eo total expendi-
ture of 81, 800 900.
The fifteen-knot ships will cover the
distance between Seattle and Lynn canal
In two days and fourteen hours, certainly
the railway distance Of 80 can be done
in ten hours. and we have forty-eight
hours. two days, in which TO cover the
remaining distance of 1876 miles via the
lake, small river and the Yukon. Thus
only five days. are consumed I'm making
the trip.
THE plan IS a feasible one and / pro-
I pose TO execute II and make the five day
journey from Seattle 10 Dawson City a
/ thing easy OF accomplishment and at a
/ moderate cost to the traveller"

senator Perkins Answers Queries
About Relief for KIondikers.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-In response TO
his telegram OF Yesterday TO Senator Per-
kins, asking whether he could take cargo
OF supplies to st. Michael for the relief or
the miners in the Kiondike section, threat
ened with starvation. Secretary Alger to-
day received telegram saying that there
are already many thousand tons of freight
unprotected at ST. Michael which cannot
be moved up into the Kfondike on ae-
count OF the ice in the river. He said II
would be needless TO send further sup
plies at present.
Secretary Alger has communicated this
Information TO the citizens committee of
Tacoma. which made an application for
relief. He has added that already two
army officers are on the way to Circle City
to report the actual status OF affairs, and
they will undoubtedly inform the war de-
partment whether supplies are required
and how they can be got into the country.
