there is not and will not be enough
food at Dawson City this winter 1t
will be impossible under the most ia
vorable circumstances to get sufficient
in to supply all those who are there
But if Dawson City suffers think of the

but from what l can learn hundreds do
not propose to stop there, nor will they
return to civilization.

"They have the gold fever as no other
body Of men ever had it. They will
not stop for storms. They will keep
pushing over the White pass all winter.
l am satisfied that while the snow is
coming down in all its fury on the pass
and the wind is blowing awful gales
this winter you will see men on White
pass. 1t is a frightful thing to think
Of, but ii is true and these men shoul1
be stopped. | am satisfied that those
who remain at Skaguay this winter will
be all right. Spring will soon be with
them and they can start for the north.
From letters i have received from the
states there will be 10000 people in
Alaska six weeks after the spring rush
has begun. / think that the reports
about so much crime in the vicinity of
Skaguay have been exaggerated.
Government should Act.
"One thing is certain. and that is that
the United States will have to take steps
at once to give Alaska a new govern
ment. At present it is one judicial dis
trict. | favor three-one for southeast
Alaska, one for western Alaska and one
for the Yukon. In that way the coun-
try would be much better governed. If
a murder is committed in the Yukon
country in the winter time the muir
derer could not be brought to the south

to conduct Alaska. And the land laws
