preciative and prompt response. The
Dold buyers were out through the coun-
try several weeks before the holiday sea-
son, looking after special and extra fin
ished animals of all kinds. They con-
tracted for fine bunch of prime steers,
to be fed and fattened under their instruc-
ton. These dressed out in fancy shape,
producing some of the finest beef ever
shown on the local market, and which
is selling rapidly. They also made a care
full selection of fine mutton sheep. blooded
Southdowns being the accepted grade,
and these also were fattened specially for
them and their local trade. Every eff
fort was made and the trade responded
as was expected. and the out-of-town call
for these specialties was greater than ever
before. and hence the surprising express
business.

The approaching holiday has had the
anticipated effect at all the western mar
kets of somewhat decreasing the receipts
OF hogs. Not alone at this point but all
over the receipts have shown a percepti-
Die falling off. The quality also has been
generally inferior. but all shippers agree
that better and fatter hogs are in sight
and will flow into market in the early
weeks OF January. Very few of the regu-
lar POnciUOn~S n this
sections as running light in amount of
stock hogs. and wherever there are hogs
to fatten into marketable condition comes
the report Of heavy feeding. This means
good run of hogs with the quality bet
ter. The inherent strength of this market
the past several weeks has been noted
and all shippers are sitisfed and anx-
ious TO acquire the hogs to ship here.

up and housed in or near the old
government barracks, and about
midnight the following night l was
aroused out of sound sleep by
genuine, Bow! Wow! Wow!!! 1
sat up in bed and listened. For
one moment there was sileuce, then
a deafening chorus of yells and
howls from the Wrangel ours.
Once more this big, strange canine
OF the Kansas mans breed of 'Jest
only Dog" raised his magnificent,
deep bass voice, which could be
heard two miles, and in a tone
which seemed to be full confidence
in himself and derision and CON
tempt for the mongrel coyotes, again
sung out, Bow! Wow!! Wowl!! A
few answering bow vows from
around town, then a general gather
ing in toward the big dog, who now
seemed to wish to teach them to
bark. They soon made the night
h1deous in their efforts to initiate
their teacher, and now two days
later, believe every blessed dog in
Wrangel has learned to bark, and
so fond are they of their new ac-
complishment that people on the
street often have to speak in a high
tone of voice to be understood above
the din. The surprising way these
native dogs picked up the civilized
bow WOW of the newcomer is only
another illustration of how quick a
whole community, even of dogs,
may be taught to change their hab-
its. And the whole original popu-
lation Wrangel, white and native,
are fast learning the "bow WOW"
of their more advanced and civilized
neighbors farther south.
And now l will answer the ques-
ton which is asked oftenest: Will
Wrangel really make place of any
consequence, or is it just a specu-
lative boom hitting here. 1t is my
honest, earnest conviction that
nothing can prevent Wrangel from
becoming the best city in Alaska.
1t will not have so quick, mush-
room growth as Skaguay or Dyea,
but it will be permanent for many
reasons. First, it is the starting
point for the safest and easiest route
to the great Yukon mining districts
and is the natural and most access
ible outfitting point for the mines of
Alaska. Secondly, it is in the very
heart of the best of all the great
fishing grounds, with climate that
is mild for this northern latitude,
and the finest harbor in Alaska,
where any ship that floats may en-
ter at all times, so well protected by
surrounding islands that a skiff will
weather the worst storm that ever
sweeps over its beautiful waters.
Wrangel is only half hours sail
from the main route traversed by
all the steamers to Alaskan ports.
They all stop here both going and
coming.
Respectfully Yours,
Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1898-02-04

FR0n FORT WRANGEL, ALASKA.
Will Peek Writes Another Interesting
Letter from that place.
Ft. Wrangel, Alaska,

January 20, 1898.
Editor LEADER:-So many of
my friends, and the people of Lin
coin are writing me for information
about Wrangel and Alaska, that l
find it impossible to answer all in
dividually. Will you kindly per-
init me TO do SO through the col
umns of the LEADER, and those
friends who have not received a
personal answer will please pardon
very busy man and brother, and
consider this letter, in part, their
very own."
Transportation from Portland or
Seattle to Wrangel, is twenty dol
lars.
Board and lodging here is from
| 81. so to So per week. Wages for
common labor is from s. to s. per
day; carpenters $3.50 per day.
There are laborers to supply the de-
mand here at present, and more
coming by every steamer. 1t would
not be wise or prudent for people
to come so far from home simply in
quest of work.
This is not an agricultural coun-
try, although vegetables and small
fruits grow to perfection here in
Wrangel, and in many places in
Alaska. The few fruit trees l have
seen here look thrifty and smooth,
! but are too young to be in bearing.
should think apples, plums and
prunes might be grown to good ad
vantage here. The climate here,
although somewhat colder, has not
been more disagreeable than the av-
erage Oregon winter so far. The
thermometer has ranged from 8 to
IL degrees above zero since the first
of November last. Twenty-six de-
grees above zero is the lowest since
the first of December.
There are no mines being worked
in the immediate vicinity of Wran-
gel, although there are quartz mines
being worked within a hundred
miles of here on all sides. 1t is less
than f. so miles from here to the
world famous Treadwell mine on
Douglas Island. Gold bearing
quartz is found on almost every is
land in Alaska, and the islands in
these waters number into the thous-
ands. This may seem almost in
credible to one who has not studied
a good map of Alaska, but let the
"doubting Thomas" look and see
for himself before he says this is a
fish story. And by the way, these
waters TEEN with all the choicest
fish in the ocean. Many of the lar
ger islands have plenty of game on
on them. Two Indians went out
from here last week and returned
in three days with twenty deer, all
as fat as mutton, right in midwin-
ter.
l believe l told you in my last
letter something about the Wrangel
dogs. Well, there are really more
dogs in Wrangel than / at first
thought, some families owning from
eight to fifteen each. They make
every kind of a noise, whimper,
whine, cry or howl, that any kind
of coyote or wolf in any part of
the world evei made. But have
listened in vain for the good old,
honest bark of our favorite "yaller
