"CAsH'-THE KLONDIKER OF TOMORROW.
as if we had never been through the ex-
perience at all Besides we forget a lot
in half century.
How many men are going to the Yu-
kOn goldields during the coming year?
I don't know. Neither does any one
else. A random guess is worth as much
as the most careful estimate. There are
no presidents to 60 by, no statistics on
which to base calculations. You might
as we'll try to figure out how many boys
will go swimming on the 1st of next
June. Could you put finger on the
public pulse you would notice that it is
beating quicker than usual. That is the
gold fever.
The street car conductor who takes
your nickel, the bank clerk who receives
your deposit, the grocer who measures
out your tea and sugar, the dry goods
clerk who is today cutting silk and cot
ton, tomorrow may be on his way to the
frozen north after gold prepared to en-
dure hardships and privations, nerved
to face death if necessary, ready to take
his chances with vast army of others
and willing to stake his all on a single
throw.
Whether this desperate army of for
tune hunters will number 100, 900 or
500, 600 robody knows. We do realize,
however, that the number will be a
vast one. If you don't realize that, stop
and think. From every large city will
go hundreds, from the smaller cities
scores. Each town will send a handful
of representatives, and from almost ev-
cry hamlet will go one or two. How
many men do you know of personally
who have either started for Alaska or
who are planning to go? I have not
such an unusually wide circle of ac-
quaintances, but can count up 1 with
out thinking very hard Four are al
ready on the way. Three more are about
to start. Possibly some of those who
have talked the lOudest will be the ones
who will not go at all. That is gener-
ally the case
But if every locality is to be so gen.
erously represented up in the gold coun-
try just fancy what a multitude they
will make. Why, with only a limited
number of delegates from each district
it is very easy to get together more than
100, 600 people at a big convention. But
In this case some of these limitations
are taken of. Every man who can get
the money and who can shake off fami-
" ties is free to go.
Who are the men who are ready to
try this new venture? All sorts and con-
ditions of men. Many of them are men
who have failed in everything else they
have undertaken and singularly imagine
that the peculiar qualities of mind
which were not of the right kind to
belp them win in the smoother waters of
Jveryday life will somehow bring them
out on top in the human maelstrom

How the Congressional Contest
in WyandOtte
viii Be Settled by the Republi-
cans.
| THREATENED BOLT
By R. w. Turner and Others in
the Sixth
Back to the Republican Party
eff Something Isn't DOne.''

very unique plan has been adopted
by which the Wyandotte county Repub-
licans will settle their congressional
contest.
As there are two candidates for con
gressional honors, it was decided to
give the most popular one of the two
the Wyandotte delegation. In order that
no mistake would be made in the selec-
ton of the most popular man the com
mittee adopted a plan whereby the Re
publicans will vote for the candidate di-
rect instead of electing delegates as is
the usual custom.
w. J. Buchan will head one ticket and
J. K. Cubbison the other. The man re-
ceiving the greater number of votes
will be allowed to select his own dele
cation to the congressional convention
to be held at Ottawa.
While the contest for congressman
will be a very heated political struggle,
yet there will be no lack of interest in
the contest for county nominations.
Candidates for county offices will be
nominated by a direct vote. A clerk for
the district court, probate court coun-
ty attorney, county superintendent, one
county commissioner and three mem
bers of the legislature and county cOrO-
ner are to be nominated. The Office Of
coroner is to be filed this year, as the
Office was made vacant a short time
ago by the death of DR.. A. r. Nc
LeOd.
The delegation to the state conven-
ton will not be elected at the primaries.
Instead, delegates will be chosen to a
county convention, at which the state
delegation will be named. The county
convention, according to the call, shall
meet within ten days after the state
convention is called, and name Wyan-
dotte county's delegation.
The primaries will be held between
the hours of p. M, and p m, March
u.
They are to be held under the Craw-
ford county system using the registra-
ton books of 1897 and 1898. All nomina-
ton papers must be filed with the CEN
trail committee between noon on March
2 and noon of March z This gives the
candidates only five days in which to
file their notices of candidacy, but it is
sufficient and is perfectly satisfactory
to all aSpirantS.

HIS DREAM OF ZANE.

golden harvest. More than a dozen good
sized steamers have been sent around
Cape Horn and will soon be ready to
hurry the gold hunters northward The
latest enterprise of this kind was the
organization only the other day of an
Alaskan transportation company in
Philadelphia. The hackers of the prof
ect have plenty of capital and have pur-
chased five big steamers. Shipbuilding
operations are booming all along the
northwest coast, and in the vicinity of
Seattle alone contracts have been let for
20 steamboats, and "a steam barges suit
able for the Yukon river trade.
But even increased steamer facilities
will not make the path to the Klondike
an easy one The Yukon is not naviga-
BILE for more than four months of the
year at best on account of ice, and when
it is open the water is so low part Of
the time that all but steamers of the
ightest draft are constantly in danger
of running aground. The best the
steamers can do is to land the great
crowds at Juneau, Skagguay or Dyea,
from where they must take their choice
of overland routes to the headWaters of
the Yukon.
There are several passes which have
been we'll travelled, but none that is par
ticularly easy. Still hundreds of men
and women have gone over each one of
them, and the thousands on thousands
who are to follow must take things as
they find them. Yet before the season is
over many of the difficulties which the
pioneers met and conquered will have
been smoothed over or done away with
entirely. Over the dreaded Ohilkoot
pass an aerial cable railway is being
built, and the projectors hope to have it
in running order early in the spring.
Most important of all are the opera
tions of two railroad companies which
propose to build lines from Pyramid
harbor, near the head of the Lynn canal,
to points on Lewes river below Five
Finger rapids. Both corporations have
engineers and surveyors at work, and it
is said that they will soon begin a rail
road building race which will astonish
the world. The length of the route is
about 400 miles, and the projectors fig
ure that the cost per mile will be about
$4,000.
These are few of the more promi-
nent features of this mad rush after Yu-
kon gold. There will be many new de-
velopments before the summer of 1899
is over. What they will be I do not pre-
tend to predict, but whatever they are
they will be worth watching, for these
are times your children will want you
to tell them about a quarter of a cen
tury hence. SEwELI- FORD.

ARRESTED FOR SPLITTING.
Paterson Merchant Broke New Or
dinance in Car.

Paterson. Feb. 28.-Joseph Steinberg,
a clothing merchant, is the first person
to be arrested under the new city ordi-
nance providing that all splitting on
the floors of public buildings and in
public conveyances is declared to be a
public nuisance and a source of danger
to public health, and is hereby prohib-
tied"
A penalty of not less than IS nor
more than 800 is provided.
Every conductor on the electric roads
received a copy of this ordinance, with
instructions to hand one to a person on
the first Offense.
Mr.. Steinberg says that he is suffer-
ing from throat trouble. Yesterday he
boarded a car for Passaic. The con-
ductor Immediately approached him
and demanded his name and address
Steinberg had begun to spit on the floor
There was no argument, and HOlloran

land will turn out big crowd of gold
seekers. But the eastern folks do not
realize how fercely the fever is raging
west of the Mississippi. The induce
ments are many. All the trades and
professions are overcrowded. The profits
of the small business man are as uncer-
tain as the wages of the day laborer.
Alaska offers a welcome outlet.
So doctors are leaving their patients,
butchers their shops, reporters, book
keepers and editors their desks, clerks
the counter, bakers their ovens and me-
ohanics their benches. The hegira to
California in 1S49 is to be eclipsed.
There are already almost as many men
either in the Alaskan goIdfieIds or well
on the way there as poured into Cali
fornia during the entire duration of the
placer mining excitement. There are
more of us to go now, for one reason,
and it is easier to reach the goldfields
for another
And how are they all going to get
there? That is a problem over which
some of the brightest and brainiest
steamboat men in the country have been
puzzling for months, and none sees his
way clear yet. AS far as the railroads
go the transportation question is set
tied. The railroads can take all corners,
and the competition among the trans
continental lines is already fierce and
is getting keener every day. Three Of
the roads have Klondike cars travelling
from place to place and fitted up with
mining exhibits. Jars of gold dust and
nuggets are displayed and profusely pic
tured printed matter is distributed. The
Canadian Pacific is making an energetic
scattering its advertisements not only
all over the Dominion, but throughout
Europe.
As for the steam boat men, they sim
ply throw up both hands The man
ayers of lines now in existence on the
Pacific coast realize that they are not
equipped to meet the emergency and
frankly say so. They add, however,
that they will do their best. San Fran
cisco, Seattle and Victoria are the three
points where the prospectors will meet
the first difficulties of the journey. Even
the comparatively small mum Der of peo-
pie that wanted to go northward last
season was enough to overload the
steamers, although as many vessels as
were available were pressed into the
service. Before spring opens the steam
feet on the Pacific coast will have been
doubled and trebled, but even that will
not be sufficient to furnish transporta-
ton to Juneau, Dyea and other points
for the thousands who are already
swarming the docks and wharfs at the
three important ports.
Already all sorts Of steam craft have
been put into the Alaska carrying trade.
Anything that will float is being pre-
pared for the spring rush to the Klon-
dixie.
Eastern steamboat men are not letting
this opportunity pass without making
an effort to have a hand in reaping the
