men jumped upon him, knocked him
down and beat him into insensibility.

A GREAT SIGHT.
The shovellers Paid Off By Portland
Railroad Co.

1t was a sight to the people who hap
pened to be at the head of Preble street
Saturday night to see the long row OF
men who filed into the Portland Railroad
companys office to receive their pay for
shovelling and hauling snow the past
week. Just imagine about 4i6 men, all
in line, waiting to receive their envelope,
containing the money, which was handed
to them as they filed in. Each man had
number. and the number, person s
name and amount due him was marked
on the outside of the envelope. 1t was
funny to see the expression on some Of
the faces, for there were many among
them who had not had work for long
time and the precious envelope seemed
like little Klondike to them. Every man
seemed perfectly satisfied and felt that he
had fully earned what he received, and no
doubt he did, for shovelling snow nine
hours a day is not very easy work. 1t took
several thousand dollars to pay the men

off and the money will do lots of good in
many homes. Our merchants will also
be benefited by it for it is money that will
nearly all be circulated for necessities as
well as luxuries.
General Manager Newman of the Port
land road was seen by PRESS man Sat-
urday night and said that the road has
employed 446 men and Sc teams since the
storm in clearing away the snow from the
tracks and levelling of the streets. The
men and teams employed are all outside
o.. the regular car crews. It is thought
that one or two days more will complete
the work and crew of about 100 men
The Portland daily press., 1898-02-07


and 40 teams will be used to finish up.
The work includes Portland, Deering
and Westbrook. People who have not
been over the lines since the big storm
have no idea of the vast amount OF work
which had to be accomplished before the
oars could run in good shape. All along
the Stroudwater line the snow lay in
drifts ranging from four to twelve feet
high, while the Deering lines in many
places were buried so deep that it seemed
as if 1t would be days before they would
come to light again. One of the largest
drifts, if not the largest, which the COM
pany had to contend with was on Ocean
street in Deering. This drift was said to
be about sixteen feet high and looked like
a small mountain. There were also many
bad drifts on the Westbrook and Riverton
lines. The highest drift in the city was
on Morning street and measured just
fourteen feet and eight inches. A big
crew of men were shoveling Industrious
ly at this pile of snow when PRESS
artist sketched it, Saturday morning. 1t
then looked like a mountain in the Klon-
dixie with the gold seekers hacking away
at its sides in pursuit of treasure.

side of the regular car crews, had been
employed since the storm and the cars
were running on regular time to the
terminus of the road both to Willard and
Cash corner. The work of hauling off the
snow had been going on rapidly and in
about another day or two the work OF
leveling OF the roads on the Cape would

STAMPEDE FROM DAWSON.

Juneau, Alaska, February by

c., February ga stampede FROM Daw-
son is imminent. The news was brought
out by party of about a dozen men who
reached Skaguay on January %. Among
them were George McKenna, who has
been in the Yukon for two years. He
states that a number of very rich strikes
have been made. This is the very latest
from the Klondike as four men in the
party left Dawson as late as December
&c. A party of "a men lett Dawson on
December 10 for ST. Mary river. They
intend to prospect the Stewart river up
it's course and into the Rocky mountains.
Gold has been found also in the bars OF
the Yukon. For years the sand banks
of the Stewart have produced gold and
in some places there has been a rich yield
to the pan. AS much of the gold in the
Yukon came doubtless from the klon-
dixie and it's ,Inequalled rich tributaries.

Skaguay. bringing direct news OF affairs
in the northern territory. The news that
many strikes had been made on the Big
Salmon is confirmed by party who came
out for supplies. Pay dirt yielding 30
cents to the pan has been discovered in
the gravel above bed rock which at last
report had not been reached. On Hem

is likely the stream will prove rich in

Many amusing incidents OF this war
could be related which would cover a
whole side of your paper, but might be
tiresome to the many readers who have
been born since this riot.
Four men were detailed to guard a
string of cars which were threatened to be
destroyed by the rioters. These men were
Walter G. Clark, JEFF Wilson, Nelson
Howard and w. O. Danforth. Nearly all
one day these four men paced back and
forth, holding the cars against the threats
of hundreds. But it was we'll understood
that the first move towards molesting this
property would mean death. The four were
complimented and presented with two
dollars each, extra, for their bravery.
How we'll recollect going with Nelson
Howard to his home for his fathers con-
sent to this trip. We found the elder
Howard sick in bed, the son-ln-law, Free
man, also an invalid, and 1t did seem
necessary that the boy should remain at
homs so the consent was peremptorily
refused. But Nelt's BLOOD was up and be
decided to go as socn as he could find a
lunch, which he was Obliged to hunt for.
As he came from the pantry he said,
ssGood bye pa" The old gentleman raised
himself on one elbow and said he hoped
and prayed we would both get shot and
neither OF US ever return, but the prayer
was not sincere for II was not answered.
Mr.. Howard, ever proud of his boy, was
glad enough to have him home again.
Singularly enough, the two boys that
Uucle Arson hoped would never return
nave outlived nearly, II not quite, all the
lilly band who left Barnard that October
night more than fifty years ago.
