n A TRAIL

The trail to the Klondike gold
fields is already lined with skeletons
of men and beasts and along the
bleak coast of British Columbia are
the quaint frames Of shattered vessels
that have become the prey of the
bleakest stretch of sea line anywhere
in the world.
First comeS a long stretch of rocks.
on which the pillows never cease to
rage, and then ome the hungry
jaws of the ice foe and the pitiless
nip of the Arctic blast.
Reports of disaster to vessels in
Alaskan waters are of frequent oc-
currence since the loss of the steam
ers Corona and Clara Nevada, and on
account of the terrible currents and
narrow passages, other frightful loss
OF life may be expected before the
rush to the gold fields subsidies.
Minor accidents have occurred to the
steamers Elder, Coquitlam and
Oregon. The Oregon, after getting
afoat from a serious grounding at
Douglas Island, broke her propeller
by striking a log, but managed to
reach Portland in safety. An I'M
known steamer was seer burning in
Seymour narrows last Saturday, but
the fire was extinguished and it was
said she proceeded north.
From all points comes tidings of
disaster, and after a landing is made
n has to face hundreds of miles of
SNOW and ice, coupled With disease
and famine, but a hundred thousand
men will face these dangers this
spring to get a chance to find gold.
Is it averice, foolhardiness or bravery?

Some years ago the Republican Ma

the appointment of non-residents to
Federal positions IN the Territories
AS no nonresident has been appoint
ed to a Federal position III a State it
was not deemed necessary to include
the States with the Territories in the
platform. The administration has
taken advantage of the omission and
sends New Workers to Nevada to
manage the Piute Indians, and a resi-
dent of Arizona to take charge of the
Land Office in Salt Lake CITY.
That the Senators from Nevada will

ALL BLOW.

The wrecking of the Maine caused
the city of San Francisco to take on a
white heat OF indignation and everv-
thing blazed with patriotism. 1t
seemed hard work to keep the entire
population from going to Cuba and
avenging the murder of 300 sailors
to preserve the honor of the Gov
eminent. When the orchest1as plav-
ed the national anthems at the thea
tres, the excitement ran so high that
the managers feared to try the expert
ment again for fear of danger to the
buildings.
In order to provide an escape safety
valve tor the pent up enthusiasm,
and saving the town from bursting a
boiler, a benefit for the victims of the
Maine was announced. Then the
city blew in $3.50 on the Maine vic
TINS and the excitement cooled down.
1t was a thoughtful thing to give the
town a chance to discharge it's pent
up enthusiasm and patriotism or the
consequences might have been Ser
ious.
If Carson couldu' t raise more than
$3.50 on an occasion of that kind, the
APPEAL would suggest that the next
Legislature cancel its charter.
