Post Family Reunion.

The Post family calculated to hold
| their 14th annual picnic at the home of
G. N. Williams last Wednesday but on
account Of stormy morning 1t was held
at the Grange hall In Adams. About 60
were present and all seemed to en-
Joy pleasant time. The following
| address of welcome was written by James
l. Post: "Relatives and friends, well
come you, not as we are welcomed to
some public place as long as our money
last, but welcome you here by the ties IF
friendship. This day of days In all the
year 80 rich with brightest blessing
comes to us now and cheers us on in all
our work and pleasure. We welcome
all on this bright day TO our 18th annual
picnic. Time has passed swiftly from
one yearly gathering to another. How
pleasant these family reunions are. We
meet again as one family, to enjoy the
blessings God has go bountifully bestow-
ed upon US. Truly, many pleasant
hour has passed in these gatherings, not
only in visiting but in the thought that
we are e. g to have a good square
meal. Or picnic was organized at the
home of 4 otas Post where we were in
vited by q ,ir daughter, Ella, to surprise
her paren' on the 10Th of May, 1884, and
our first icnic was held at Grandpa
Post's, August 27. 1884. The main
branch of the Post family, composed of
brothers and one sister, with their fam
lilies, have lived in the community
since 1914. But there Is always time
when the first link of the chain must
break and the old links have given
away until out of the eight only four re-
main. Not only the old chain has been
broken but many links of the new were
not made to last and under their burdens
soon gave way. / will not name the
links that have gone because we can all
call them 10 memory. But while we are
left here to enjoy the luxuries of this
world they have gone on To enjoy the
blessings Of the next, We are all glad
to welcome one another and should all
feel grateful that our lives hsYe been
spared, so let all care and strife be laid
aside and this be made happy day so
tnat when we separate we may carry
sunshine to our homes and keep IL in our
hearts the coming year and by 80 doing
1t will tighten our labors and better pre-
pare us for llfe's dutles. Again | well
come you, hoping thst we may enjoy
many of these gatherings and that our
number will not be broken this coming
year. Con-.

Mach Gold in American Territory.
..From what I have learned from
mine owners and prospectors, l am
fully satisfied that the greater part OF
the gold belt lies in our territory along
the range known as the Upper Ram
parts; that along the Tannah, Minook
creek, Birch creek and the head of
Forty Mile creek, there are diggings
that will pay from $40 to $40 per day
per man now lying idle. as they will
not pay expenses at the present prices
of food. am satisfied that, with ade-
quate means Of transportation and
cheaper food, this will develop into one
of the greatest gold producing regions
in the world. A railroad from the
head of Cooks Inlet or Prince Williams
Sound to the mouth Of the Tannah,
from which point supplies could be de-
livered by light draught steamers along
the navieable tributaries Of the Yukon.

while food is scarce in Dawson City
the miners in the outlying camps are

loss Of life beyond that incident to a
climate so rigorous as this That there
will be much suffering along the river
