A jolly party, consisting of eighteen miners and prospectors arrived from the Stikeen river country on Sunday, Nov ember 9th. They built their boat in Glenora, and, considering the lateness of the season, and consequent low stage of water, made good run, the trip talk ing just three days from GlenOra.
 The names and addresses of the party are as follows: G. F. Watts and Fred A. Johnston. Collingwood, Ont: P. 1T. Johnston, San Jose, Cal.:. John Samson, Toronto, Ont: Sam Brown, New Den yer, BIG.

 Regarding their trip down river, they report pleasant time, excepting for the weather. It certainly was re- markable thing, that so large crowd should work harmoniously all day camp serenely, without tent, in snow or rain storm at night, cheerfully bail the water from their beds, and light a fire in snow pile, with water soaked drift wood, in the morning. and have no dis agreements. They claim to have done all of this, and, judging from what has been seen of them this week, we are not inclined to doubt.
 Some of the party are accomplished musicians, and have been amusing them selves, entertaining others during their stay.
 The majority of the party express themselves as highly pleased With the prospects of the country, and intend returning early in the spring.

Wrangel, Alaska, Nov. IS, 1898. Mr. Editor:
 Having noticed several articles in your paper regarding the organization of literary society, and, finding that there is some misunderstanding, con- cern;ng the small organization already under way, wish to offer a few words in explanation.
 The writtr finds that here, bordering on the far north, where our social ties tend to be broader and more elastic, and where deprived of many priviledges common in older settlements, that we, as residents of Fort Wrangel, should in- dividually and collectively encourage that social intercourse and hearty good time spoken of in your last week s issue. We also believe that after that spirit of comradeship has been satisfied. that feeling which is common among all people isolated from free communica- tion with the outer world, that there Slloult LlSO DC III W UlIdU common elsewhere, namely, of small pri- vate gatherings.
 A handful of friends met in a private office ana discussed plans for organizing d small literary organization. first for education. and second for social culture.
 Few being acquainted with the work we decided to have our first session closed.
 That spirit of harmony might pre- vail until the society was stronger. we adopted constitution admitting mem bers by a three-fourths vote only. The object of this organization is not sectar- ian, nor do We want fright of way" Should q larger society be organized. many of our members would most heart lily cooperate.
