PLENTY TO EAT.
Yukon Country is Well Supplied for
This Winter.

Seattle, Wash, Oct 5-An estimate
of the amount of provisions on the Yu-
kon river indicates that there will be
no need of a government relief expe-
ditiOn this winter. The two big trans
pOrtatiOn companies have at least 20, 900
tons at various points on the river.
The North American Trading and
Transportation company is credited
with these figures: At Dawson, 1000
tons; Fort Cudahy, 1900 tons; Circle
City, 1900 tons; Fort Yukon, l. 500 tons;
Rampant City, 1000 tons; Eagle City,
500; Perry City, 100.
The Alaska Commercial company has
about the same amounts on hand, ex-
cept at Dawson, where it has about
1000 tons.
Trading posts have recently been
established by the two companies on
the Koyokuk river, the Alaska Com
mercia1 company locating at Arctic City
and the North American Trading and
Transportation company at Perry City,
five miles above.
Arthur Beardsley will have his trial
in Justice McClintock's court for steal
ing carpenter tools. He has promised
to divulge their hiding place to Con-
stable Ross and the case may be dis
missed.
