A very serious accident occurred at

Mr. Newman is rs years of age ana 1t is

TRANSPORTATION ON THE YUKON
How James Mckay Makes it Pay With His
Dog Teams

! Tacoma, Wash, Nov. 29.-E. E. Cham
! berlain Of this city has just returned
/ from Lake Linderman, where he went TO
meet James Mckay, who now owns and
runs the largest land transportation
business in the Yukon basin. He was the
/ first man to make winter trip from
Circle City to Juneau, January. 1ss5-s6
The people of Circle City thought him
crazy and thought OF preventing it, bu.
he not only tried it in spite OF them, but
succeeded and made it pay handsomely.
Last winter he hauled provisions with
dog teams from Circle City to Dawson
with equal profit, sometimes getting as
high as s45 for a fifty-pound sack of
-four. His teams now run all winter be-
mouth of Peily river. His last trip TO
juneau was by boat as far az Lake Ben
nett.
Chamberlain says that il there is dan
ger of famine he believes that Mckay
has teams and facilities enough TO haul
supplies stored at Fort Yukon to Daw-
son as fast as they will be needed. The
most alarming of the reports sent out
about the prospective famine say that
there is food enough on hand for all for
four months and that if 1000 OF those
An opinion was rendered in the case
away, all will nave plenty. These re-
ports are dated about October. Mckay
would therefore have three months in
which 10 get up supplies from the fort be-
fore there would be any actual want.
Chamberlain does not think there Is
more than two, or at most three boat
loads of provisions at the fort. All the
other boats We're stopped farther down
the river at Minook Creek and below.
But even this need alarm nobody as it
will be only a little longer haul from
Lake Linderman, where, after February
1, and probably as early as January 10.
plenty of provisions can be delivered by
the Chilkoot Aerial Tramway line, now
building
When finished. the line will deliver 12O
tons a day over the mountains. This
makes the headwaters Of the Yukon only
five days from Tacoma. From there Mr..
McKan can deliver into Dawson in five
days more, as fast as ii will PROBABLY be
needed.
The circulators Of the alarming reports
emanating from Dawson know nothing
about the cable tramway over the Dyea
Pass or the immediate relief it would
certainly afford them.
Portland, Ore. Nov. 29.-Charles Dab
eny, representing party of about fifty
Michigan people, who propose to go to
the Klondke region early in the spring,
before navigation opens, has been in the
city for several days. He will leave on
the next oriental steamer for Japan on
his way to Vladivostock, Siberia, to Sc
cure dogs. camels or reindeer teams for
his party. Mr.. Dabeny says he will pro-
cure supply of either of these animals
and viii select whichever he concludes
will answer his purpose. He expects to
return in February and will snip his ami
mails from Vladivostock, or If that port
is frozen, from some more southerly port,
to Japan and bring them TO the Pacific
coast for shipment north.

SUCCESSFUL DEER HUNT.
Joseph Reurup and Party Bring Back
Four.

Joseph Reurup returned on the
noon train from two weeks spent at
Verndale. The others Of the party,
Oscar Bennett and son, Kenny, and
Henry Dreher. will return tomorrow.
They were successful in their quest
aftersdeer, for Mr.. Reurup brought four
with him, and they were exhibited
on the sidewalk in front of his store
this afternoon, and attracted much
attention. One of the deer is three
year old buck, weighing 200 pounds
dressed, another is ITO pound doe,
and the Others 10 and 10 pound fawns.
Mr.. Reurup statessthat the party
hunted for one week thirty-five miles
northwest of Verndale, making their
camp in deserted logging shack.
They saw no deer until a two inch
fall of snow occurred. but even after
that they did not find one deer to
where they Saw two ten years ago.
Fire swept through the woods last
oHN OuU oil pul
ridges, SO that only few rabbits
were to be found.
The deer were gotten by driving
them IN a party, and as all fired
whenever deer was seen it is hard to
prove ownership. Benny Bennett
shot doe by himself, and had some
good shots at Others, having gone into
swamp where three got up close by
him. The buck was hit at 700 o'clock
in the morning, and was trailed until
LOO O'Clock, when he fell dead. Mr..
Reurup missed fine SHOT by having
his shotgun along one day instead of
his life, while huning rabbits.
The two Barnett brothers, of this
city, and two others from tue country,
were hunting in the vicinity but got
nothing. Two moose were killed
within d few miles of where
Mr.. Reurup and party hunted. One
moose lived around there during the
summer and freed boy on two &C.

nesOta friends advising them to join
him. 1t was not very long before he
saw his mistake, however, and he de-
cided to rectify it by coming home.
Something more is needed than roses
and peaches and "nIggahs' to make a

Mr.. Selleck states that people who
leave this state for the south make a
greYious mistake. He said that the
southerners want the money of the
northerners who settle among them,
and are apt to get it in the long run,
although Mr. Sel!eck did not suffer in
this regard. The southern hospI-
tality is not all that is claimed for it,.
Mr.. Selleck likes the climate, but not
the soil. He advises people who own
Of Blue Earth county's rich land to be
contented and remain here.

A WONDERFUL RECOVERY.

A few weeks ago the new York
Journal, Bryan Democratic paper,
estimated that not over 5 per cent of
/ the working class of New York City
were idle. This would be a remark
able showing, especially at this time
when the country is emerging from
an industrial depression, and it would
hardly be supposed that anything
like the greater share of workingmen
had been able to find employment,
and the correctness Of the Journals
estimate is doubted by those familiar
with such matters. A writer in Gun
toms magazine commenting along
this line, points out that under any
conditions there will always be con-
siderable number Of worklngmen who
are unemployed.i and that this fact is
not generally taken into account. The
writer further says: "The fact is, if
it could be shown, that not over 6O0,
900 or 100000 available workers in the
| United States were out Of regular
work. as against, 25, 100000 actively
employed, that would undoubtly rep.
resent the absolute maximum in the
ratio Of employment, which it would
be possible to attain under this or any
other form of civilization or industrial
organization" There is much to bear
out the truth Of this. 1t will be re-
membered that in 1892, the year of
the nations greatest prosperity, the
free traders and calamity shriekers
had much to say about the large mum
Der of unemployed. But taking the
basis of the writer in Gunton's maya.
zine as criterion, and the number
was doubtless no, larger then would
naturally be the case with the many
millions employed, and it is signiti-
cant that when the free traders I'm.
dertook to remedy the situation by
carrying their theory into practice, it
had the effect of adding millions to
the ranks of unemployed.
This fact of large number con-
stantly being in the ranks of the un-
employed, many of them wilfully so,
not working at any time Longer then
actual necessity demands, is one that
should be remembered when calamity
agitators howl about the thousands
and millions OF unemployed. With
the great growth of our Industrial
progress today, that army under the
best Of circumstances is liable to be
all the way from 100000 to a million
strong, and it would be extremely
difficult under any form of social and
industrial organization to bring about
conditions that would make matters
much different. While it is extremely
doubtful that the showing at present
is bright as the New York Journal
sets forth, yet the change from year
ago has been marvellous one, far
greater than even the most sanguine
could really expect, when the full eff
feet of our past industrial depression
is taken into consideration.

Court Notes.

The trial Of the suit of Casper f.
Scheerschmidt VS.. o. P. Smith occu-
pied all of yesterday and today, and
the case will hardly 60 to the jury be.
fore tomorrow noon. Lorin Cray is
assisting III. L. Schmitt in the de.
tense. The amount involved in the
action is about $1,000. 1t appears
that Mr.. Scheerschmidt contracted to
purchase farm OF Mr.. Smith several
years ago. and that Mr.. Smith took
possession of the land again. Mr..
Scheerschmidt sues to recover the
value of the land, which he places at
S., 400, less the price which he was to
have paid. The rise in value owing
to improvements made by him while
he had possession, interest, and
various items of damage foot up to
about $4,000. The agreed price of
the land was $4,000.
Some more arrangements will pro-
badly be made tomorrow.
