The City of Sleep.

Over the edge of the purple down,
Where the single lamplight CLEANS.
Know we the road to the Merciful Town
That is laid by the Sea of Dreams
Where the poor may lay their wrong
away,
And the sick may forget to weep?
But we-pity US! ah! pity u.s.
We wakeful oh! pity us!
We must go back with Policeman Day
Back from the City of Sleep!
Weary they turn from the scroll and
crown,
Fetter and prayer and plow-
They that go up to the Merciful Town.
For her gates are closing now.
1t is their right in the baths of Night
Body and soul to steep;
We-pity us; ah pity us!
We wakeful; oh. pity us.
We must go back with Policeman Day
Back from the City of Sleep!
Over the edge of the purple down,
Ere the tender dreams begin;
Look-we may look-at the Merciful
But we may not enter in.
Outcasrs all, from her guarded wall.
Back to our watch we creep;
W We ppnkef us; ali ah; pity pity u.s. us,
We that go back with Policeman Day
Back from the City of Sleep!

Harold LiBdstrom Is Enthusiastic Over
the Prospects of Dyea.

Great Falls, Jan. 21.-Harold Lind
strom, formerly located at Belt, but
now engaged in opening up a store at
Dyea, writes the following interesting
letter to friend here. The letter is
dated and reads:
see from the above l am in Dyea, Alas
ka, and am going TO stay here. You
talk about your cold, it's impossible to
get cold here, as it is not far enough
north to be that, and another thing, it's
right close to the ocean. i told you
some time ago that / was coming up
here. ] tell you one thing, if man
don't take his chances he will never
make anything. If l only had been in
this town two months ago | should
have more than doubled my money,
but being as | am too late | had to buy
lot-paid 5000 for 1t and was next day
offered $400 for ii, but did not sell. EN-
pect some day, if everything goes right
to get $4,000 for it. | am building a
store on it; have sent for goods back
East and will soon be doing business.
Talk about prices. you get your 100 per
cent on everything you sell, and on
some even more.
'Whiskey is awful hard to get. 1t
costs % cents drink in Dyea and so
cents in Sheep Camp, IL miles from
here. That Dyea is going to be the
place there is no mistake about IT at ALL
because eight out or ten VIII go through
here, as the trail from here is shorter
and better to travel than the Skaguay.
"A tramway is being built from here
up to Sheep Camp, and over the sum-
nit down TO Lake Linderman, so all
man will have TO do is to load his stuff
in the cars and go right along. People
going up there every day.
Meals so cents; 25 cents for a cup of
coffee with three or four doughnuts
and so to 70 cents for a beo: can't get a
single room at any price; all take
hunks. In a couple of months from
now, when the rush begins, or not that
long, you will see crowd here, and a
business that you never saw in your
life before. If anybody from Belt is
coming up tell them to bring some un-
derWear with them and get the rest up
here, for people make a great mistake
in taking things with them into a
strange country, and consequently have
to throw them away. | would rather
live here than in Montana. A river
goes right through the town, the ocean
on one side. Could tell a thousand
things about this country, but am short
of time"
