An Ohio Man VIII Take q Novel
Pack Train Into the
Yuk0u.

The ingenuity of prospective Klondikers
has been taxed In find the easiest and
most convenient way 10 get their outfits
from the spot on which they have been
landed by the steamer TO the Yukon river.
Perhaps the most original device of all is
that of Charles Mouiion, OF Steubenvilie.
O., who proposes to use goats 20 pack in
his goods.
Mr.. Moulton arrived here some time ago
10 look over the ground as far possible,
and yesterday made arrangements TO have
twenty goats shipped from his Ohio home
to use as a pack train. He claims that
the goats he proposes TO bring, come from
special breed that has for generations
oeen used in packing on the Himalayas.
In India They can carry twen;y-pound
pack each. and can scale any mountain
that a human being can. They feed on
the moss that grows on the mountain side.
cost nothing 10 keep. and have the ad-
ditional advantage OF supplying fresh milk
for breakfast every morning. and IL fresh
meat is needed one can be killed, as they
are said 10 be excellent eating.
Mr.. Moulton says the goats will cost him
$i3 apiece here In Seattle. He expects them
to arrive early next week.

WHISKY GOOD FOR LOANS.
Kentucky RempinG Direct BeneMt
From the kiondfke EN-
riteneat

The Yukon fever lis very prevalent In
ard about Kentucky. said f.. Howard, Of
Louisville, at the Butler yesterday.
Some weeks ago carpenter who lives
in Jacksonville, Ind. across the river
from Louisville. returned from Alaska
with 80 e09 s4o.d and vast fund OF
experience. Since his return every one
who Is footioose and has capital Is max
ing preparations to leave for Alaska now
or next spring.
For sore time the whisky market has
been so congested that banks have been
slow TO advance on warehouse securities.
So serious was this condition that
there have been several meetings OF the
dsstiiiers to consider the advisability OF
stopping their distiieries until the over
supply should cease: but the commercial
world has received such lift from the
now 'lourishing condition OF the manu-
features. which may In a measure be
sscrihed TO the Yukon gold finds that the
banks are lending money on whisky AT
much lower rates than heretofore. Many
gentlemen of Kentucky have borrowed
money on their whisky. and are now pre-
pairing 10 leave for Alaska.
In Evansville. Ind. syndicate has
been formed to gruhstake men who are
physically able 10 stand the climate and
prlvatious OF the Yukon. These men left
on the Eliza Anderson. Most of the East
ern people accustomed to a comparative
life of comfort and ease. have no idea OF
what a trip and stay In Alaska means. A
party of young men from New York some
days ago had with their elegant silver
plated. mouogramed outfit two guitars a
mandolin and a banjo. and still they were
going 10 dig gold
