Ben. Franklin Made q Short Stay II
Alaska-Audrain Good Enough for
Human Interview With Him
by the Ledger's Thompson
Correspondent.

Mr.. Zen. Franklin, of nea Thomp-
son Station, returned from Alaska
Saturday. He did not 60 into the in
terror and was in Dyea only eight OF
ten days. w. E. Mcdonald, the LED
GERS Thompson Station correspond
ent, furnishes ils the following inter
esting facts in reference to Mr.
Franklin's experience:
Mr.. Franklin was near Dyea fol
about eight or ten days before he
started back. He got up the trail sew
enteen miles with his goods and struck
his friends from this place. He stayed
with them for two days before return
ing. All the boys from here were in
the crowd-George Rldgeway, Bud
Alexander, Jack Daniel, John Pear
son and John Elliott and his partner:
Roy Roberts, from Hallsville. He
thinks the gold is there, If anyone
can reach it. He says it is almost i'm
possible to move the goods now from
Dyea to the summit on account Of
bad trails. 1t being warm, causes IL
to be slushy.
All the boys from here are pushing
along and all are hale and hearty,
although Bud Alexander has not beer
so we'll since he started. He says one
of the boys cried like a baby when he
told him goodbye as he was returning
to the States. He was only crying
because it was not he who was return
ing. He did not recognize Jack DAN
iel, and has known him for years. He
said he weighed 200 pounds and had
beard all over his face.
Beyond Dyea Roberts got the cook
stove-too hot, setting fire to the goods
and burning the tent and lots of other
articles and almost entirely running
their robes, which were furnished
them for S32 each, when they found.
after arriving, they could purchase
them for $40 or s17. You see furnish
ing about 100 men with robes nets
nice little profit at $32 when they cost
S16 or $17 by the single robe.
Mr.. Franklin says nearly all the
buildings there have saloons ano
gambling deps in them. He says
many of the people are dying there
There was a corpse came home on the
boat he came on and theaEaswere ter
corpses waiting for another steamer
to be shipped home. He says when 6
man gets sick there he only lives
few hours. They die with spina
trouble. They die there very fas'
with some quick disease. He saw
more men there in an hour with fee
and legs off than he could in ter
years here.
Mr.. Franklin says the whole triI
home only cost him $32 for a first
class ticket. 1t cost him some eighty
odd dollars to 60 on the special train
He could have bought a ticket to g,
on the other trains, same accommoda
tions, for considerably less money.
After getting to Dyea the erow'
broke up, scattering in every di
rection. He never saw Mr.. Purcell
or heard from him after arriving a
Dyea. He says he had rather be a
Thompson with his family with moth
ing on earth than to be in Alaska an
own it all.
He saw two men writing from Klon
dyke. They had been there for eight
cen months. and got $1,000 each. Fl
says the people there are the bigges

The Populist party is very
largely composed Of genuine
reforners, cranks if you like. They
left the old parties rather than to
stultify themselves by submitting to
and supporting what semed to them
TO be monstrous wrongs Many
leading PCpulists today would rather
see tie party split wide open than
submit TO and support course which
they conceive to be radically wrong.
Some of these gentlemen belong to the
middle Of the road faction, and some
are fusionists. There is an honest
difference Of opinion between them and
there seems little chance for COM
promise. 1t is also true that some Of
the leaders are "out for the dust, I"
and are striving TO use machine
methods for their personal gain, for,
as has been said, this is ineyitable
under the present system.
1t is hardly probable, however, that
the Populist forces can be
whipped into line, as whole,
for either a middle-of-t
road or u. fusion policy, and it
looks very much now as If the Populist
party, as such, was doomed TO go TO
pieces
AS parties are manipulated now,
the Republican, Democrat or Popu-
list who desires to see reform must
either beg his masters for IL, with
little chance for success, or he must
lead a revolt and "bust the machine.
| he is strong enough for the latter
course, he is very likely to at the same
time destroy his party. Perhaps some
Time ia the next century the people

way by which they can control the
