srecs Below Zero In Tents.
1.-THE River Trip to the Klondike" is
the title of an article in the March Cen
tury, written 10y John Sidney Webb. The
author says
On the morning of Aug. II, at about
o'clock, broad daylight, we came up to
that collection of 40 large log cabins and
500 tents, sprawled at the foot of Moose
skin mountain, named Dawson City
Heller SHELTER in marsh lies this collec-
ton of odds and ends of houses and habi-
tations, the warehouses of the two COM
panies cheek 10y jowl with cabins and
tents, row of barrooms called Front
street the side streets deep in mud, the
river bank a mass of miners boats, Indian
canoes and logs, the screeching of the saw
mill, the dismal tuneless scraping of the
violin of the dance halls, still wide open
the dogs everywhere, fighting and snarl
ing; the men either "whooping 1t up" OF
working with the greatest rapidity to un'
load the precious freight we had brought

the scene more like the outside or circus
tent, including the smell of the sawdust,
than anything else in the world.
This, then, is the real FL Doradol One
wonders where they all live. One won
ders, in amazement where they are all
going to live through the awful winter
that is approaching. Here Is the true
pinch of the situation. 1t is not a question
of food it is question of shelter. There
are no logs fit to make cabin to be found
on the river within 30 miles of Dawson
CITY. To wait for winter means that 1t
will be too late to build a cabin, because
the moss which is used to fill the chinks
between the logs by that time Will be
frozen solid and be useless unless thawed
out over a fire, a very wearisome job. The
old timers have got used to ~ degrees Do
low zero in tents, and even II the robe over
them freezes solid, match is smuggled

gold millions of gold and nothing better
than a muddy swamp to live in; gold dust
and nuggets in profusion, and yet the ne
groes in the cabins of a southern planta-
ton live better than the richest man
the country. Our arrival at Dawson was
at very critical time. We had brought
with us nearly 400 tons of provisions, and
this fact served to allay the anxious fears
of many who were becoming panic stricken
at the idea that there would be scarcity
of food during the winter. No news had
come to us by way of the ocean OF later
date than June 10, but newspapers had
been received over the summit at Dawson
of date as late as July 26, and so the re
port that crowds were swarming into the
poldfields had reached them, but was news
to us. The town was thoroughly scared
and was overrun with men who had come
down from the diggings, often 20 and 81
miles, to make sure of their outfits for th'
winter, and SO determined were they tt
procure them that they sat themselves
down calmly in line, like men waiting t.
buy seats at a first night performance, de
termined to wait until the goods were pu
ND and set aside in their names.

Made queen, she rewarded by dismissal
every effort on the part of her counselors
