The inland resorts on the Sh pres OF the
many beautiful ponds in this vicinity
these ponds would be called lakes in Eu-
rope have long competed for public favor
with the summer abiding places on the
bay, where sea breezes blow and CLANS are
to be had for the digging. A few miles
drive inland takes one into an entirely
different atmosphere, and the change
from the bracing sea all to An atmosphere
laden with the 0dors of the pine is often
beneficial as well as agreeable. In the fall,
particularly when it is too cold for com
fort on the sea shore, and when the trees
have put on their gay autumnal foliage
the cottages at Quantabacook, Pitcher 5
and Tilden' ponds, and Swan Lake, are
much resorted to by pleasure seekers.
The pioneer inland camp, or cottage,
was Riverside at Quantabacook, which was
built about half a century ago, although
some claim this distinction for Camp Gil
more at the same pond. They We're both
primitive affairs. Such luXuries as chairs
were dispensed with and seats were made
of logs and boards. The Riverside clu b
was rather an exclusive and secret organ
ization; but the hints dropped by its mem
bers as to the good times they enjoyed led
to the formation of the Star Club, and the
building of camp at the upper end of
Pitchers Pond in 1877. \ good story is

Maine kIondikers,

Gordon McTaggart writes to the Pitts
held Advertiser from the head Of Lake
Bennett, Alaska, May 18th, as follows
We have cot our boat built and intend
to start down Lake Bennett Monday, May
30th. The ice ! think will be all out bv
that time. We GOT here April 1st. com
ing by way Of the White Pass via Skag-
way. | enjoyed the trip very much.
OF course there was some work to do.
bur nothing but what any man can stand
who is able and willing to do good day S
work
Between Lake LndeIman and Lake
Bennett, distance OF three quarters of
mile, there are 1876 tents ] think they
would average toul men to each tent.
At the head OF Linderman there are about
as many more. and down Lake Bennett
as faT as ! can see are TOWs of tents Oh
each side of the Lake. So you see | will
have company on my way down to the
gold fields. some will 90 in SHOWS and
others in boats and canvas canoes. Four
steamers have been brought in and will
run from here to Dawson and return,
making it possible to leave Dawson or
Bennett, twice a month SO if people
desire they can come to SkagwaY, hire
theil outfit packed to the lake 1--WE paid
5 81 cents per pound for part Of ours)
and make the trip with comparative ease:
for man can walk over Chlkoot or the
White Pass to Lake Bennett in one day
when the trail is good, and have seen no
dead men Of starving ones So far.
People | have met returning from
Dawson laugh at the idea of anyone
starving there last winter. If you pack
all of your outfit here on Il sled of course
it is hard work, for you cannot haul it all
at one load and have to cache it and keep
going back until you bring it all up to
where you have pitched your tent, and
so on until you arrive at the lake then
whipsaw your lumber and build your
boats. 1t is not all fun and | never was
partial to saving wood; and before we
had cot ours all sawed had more respect
for sawmill than ! ever had before.
Lumber sells here for 25 cents per foot,
and boats that you could hardly give
away in the east, sell readily for four
hundred dollars.
We have had no rain here yet and |
can Sit in our tent and read about the
war in paper one week old at 10 o. clock
at night without using any candle light.
1t is light even here at Bennett all night,
OF nearly SO. newspaper sells at 70
cents.
The Montreal police system here is very
good and helps to keep law and order as
it should be kept in place of this kind.
One man was caught stealing food. He
had stolen about 1000 pounds and was
sentenced to two years at hard labor; and
they keep him busy, too. One man stands
guard over him, and he gets no sympathy
from anyone.
The party from Portland, Me-, is here;
also another from Searsport, and still
another from Hampden, so you see with
our party that Maine is we'll represented.
We have named our boat the "Maine."
All boats are registered and numbered,
and we got No. 10, so | guess we will be
lucky in our search for gold.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
A GINSENG VICTORY.

Ashevile Citizen.
We noted recently how shrewdly and
forcefully the Duke dc Richmond was
shunting to one side candidates for the
Republican nomination. first Shook and
then Moody falling by the wayside rs
the Duke swung his sickle keen. There
remained, as we warned the candidate.
killer at the time, one powerful pres
ence, the Hanging Dog Statesman, the
Rt Hon. Hoola Boom Campbell tt
be placated. BY a recent number of the
Bulletin, of Murphy, Campbells paper
we see how quickly the Duke takes 4
suggestion from the Citizen.
I'VE have received from Hon. Rich
mond Pearson, Geo. b. Nash's history
on the culture of American Ginseng, re
vised by Morris q. Kains, for which he
will accept our thanks. The culture OF
ginseng in our mountain coves we
have no doubt would pay larger profit
than raising cattle and sheep"
The full significance Of this is to be
found in the following explanation by
the Murphy correspondent OF the
Waynesyille Courier:
Il found the statesman from Hang
ing Dog. the famous 'Hoola Boom, in
nlgn state OF MARTY over the piece
of good luck which has befallen him as
the recipient of the royal favor of his
highness, the Duke of Richmond Hill.
I'm recognition of and as fitting re-
ward for the distinguished services to
his party of the Daddy of Fusion, the
political godfather of the present Re
publican Congressman from this dis
trict, it is known that Mr.. Pearson has
long been anxious to do the real hand
some thing. 1t was no doubt with I'M
alleged pleasure that the Duke found
himself able to place within the grasp
Of his friend Hoola Boom the means OF
acquiring untold wealth by sending him
to the headwaters of Hanging Dog to
engage in the cultivation Of ginseng
His graphic description of the fabu
lous profits to be made by selling the
roots to the Chinese had the desired eff
feet. HoOla Boom is no longer can
didate for Congress, the Bulletin is for
sale and its editor looks forward tC
spending his remaining days in luxury.
j. Wiley Shocks candidacy was
strangled to death by the Dukes iron
hand as a punishment for free speech;
Moody's was smothered in beans and
hard tack, and now that of the Hoola
Boom is knocked in the head with a
ginseng root. And so the great Duke
marches on!

TO the Editor:
| am sorry to hear that some of the
popQlists understood that what / said at
our late democratic convention on the
subject of social astrfcism applied to
them. Such was not my intention.
After laboring as / have done. for two
years TO bring about a friendly co-opera-
ton between the democratic and popu-
list parties on fair and equitable terms,
to be agreed upon after full consultation,
it would have been the acme of incon-
sistency to have advised democrats to
try social astracism on the populists.
Mr. Kitchen, in his strong and eloquent
speech, described the white republicans
living in the counties whore the negsoes
predominant, and who, knowing the
damaging and cOrruptng influence of
their rule, continued to seek to keep them
over white men by appeals to their preju-
dices, boSsism and fears, and called such
republicans white negroes" and said
they were worse than the black negroes

speech and the republicans, he thus de-
scribed, | advised the democrats to have
