remainder win be killed or die from
starvation before the winter Is half
over. There is no way around 1.-THE
poor horses must die. For weeks they
have been rushed to Skaguay on every
steamer sailing for the north. Many Of
them are already useless, and have
been shot and thrown into the bay.
UNITED for the rough work. the scant
supply OF hay and grain taken along
has proven insufficient. and many Of
them live but few weeks after they
are thrown overheard from steamers to
swim ashore. Perhaps they win be
used by the hungry miners for food.
but at any rate their frozen carcasses

Not the least interesting part Of the
great rush to the Klondyke has been
the horses taken In by the hundred.
After the first Argonauts. reached Ska
quay word was sent back that horses
were absolutely necessary II one ex-
pected to reach the lakes over the
White Pass trail before the river froze
MP and navigation was stopped. They
sent back for horses In numbers, this
move started the demand. A Klon-

entire White River valley. WORKOUT
farm horses, young colts, unbroken
and every sort Of horse were driven
to Seattle by the enterprising farmers
and sold to the Klondykers. A horse
market was established In one Of the
prominent public squares. Hundreds
Of horses were sold just before each
steamer sailed for Alaska. Oxen,
mules and dogs that were placed on
sale with the horses were quickly pur-
chased 1t the owners figures. A horse
was a horse. It made no difference
whether II was sick, lame or blind, It
was wanted In Alaska.
It wks not until the horses were
landed at Skaguay that their troubles
really began. In purchasing the ami
mails Bo attention had been paid as to
whether they were broken or not, and
as = result about half Of the ponies
and cAyuses had never had q saddle
on thGir backs before. The breaking
Of the horse took from three to 1--WE
days. and was only accomplished after
hours Of constant cursing on the part
of tbs owners. In several Instances
the animals refused to be broken, and
were killed by their angry owners, or,
