Letter from q Resident of Pleas
antvtlIe VINO is ON the way
to the Famous Gold Fields.
EDMONTON. Alberta Co. Canada


December 18th, 1897.
To the Pleasantville Press:
We arrived in this place the 18th of
November, after being delayed three days
ut Calgary, on account OF trains running
from Calgary to Edmonton but twice q
week. Calgary is supposed to be the
toughest place in Canada or on theroute
to the Klondike. Tt is full of cowboys
and, "half breeds and Indians. Ed
monton is the last place on the route
by train to KIondike going this way.
1t is on the Saskatchewan River.
Board is cheap here-only one dollar per
day at the hotels. There are new ar
rivals coming in on every train, of all
nationalities, bound for the Klondike
from this point. Very nearly all bring
their outfits with them. One party from
England brought hay with them, think
ing there was no hay over here, and the
people had much sport with them about
it, as there is plenty of hay here at three
dollars per ton. 1t took us eight days
to get here from Pleasantville on the
train. 1t is 3103 miles from Pleasant
vile and we are 1850 miles from Dawson
City. We were advised by old miners to
sleep out all night in the snow to see if
we would be able to stand the trip. On
leaving Calgary we had the grandest
sight of all, as the sun was setting be-
hind the Rocky Mountains. We thought
they were only a distance of about ten
miles when, upon iDquiring, we were
told that that they were two hundred
miles away.
There are people here that do sleep out
Ill chn hr1fIl
fire and wrap themselves up in their
blankets and lay down by the fire all
night. 1t is fifty-five below zero here
this morning. Mr.. Sundstrom, my
partner, went for bucket of water
100 yards and when he got back it was
frozen over. The Klondike fever seems to
be taking of young old and, and Cayuses
are getting rounded up which have run
the prairie for years wild. Soon they
will become extinct, like the buffalo, if
the excitement keeps up. Dogs are also
in demand and the boys desert their
toys to hitch up the old dogs to fiat
sIeds, and are training them in full glee
to pull out for the Yukon. This is q
irst-class farming country, instead of
what it is generally supposed to be only
fiji for Polar bear and Esquimaux. They
raised about 1000, 900 bushels of wheat
and 100000 bushel Of oats in this
vicinity. They don't use any manure on
the land and raise about fifty bushels of
wheat to the acre, and get sixty cents
per bushel. OF oats they raise
about 100 bushels to the acre, and get
twenty-five cents per bushel.
P. S-Tbis is the 18th day of Decem-
Der, and it is sixty below zero this morn
ing. Yours truly.

At the meeting of the Council, Monday
evening. an ordinance for paving Mich

Ol motion of Mr.. Rose, the Council,
with only one dissenting vote, agreed to
abandon the suits, commenced three
years ago, against the Camden and

Warren Somers, Secretary of the Citi-
zens' Committee, who are endeavoriDg
to induce Major Raymond, of the Gov
ernment Engineering Corps to made a
favorable report on the improving of
this Inlet, went to Philadelphia, Friday,
to furnish the Major with some statis-
tics. The Msjor received him cordially
and said he was glad to receive the in
formation furnished. Mr.. Somers' re-
port went on to state the prices of
shipping freight as compared with other
places, claiming that they were exor-
bitant. During the eleven years from
1885 to 1897, there had been 139 vessels
off Absecon beach in distress, and the
vessel property in jeopardy during that
period was $707 600 The actual loss
was fixed at $140.000. For the year
1897, there were 8101 vessels passed
here during daylight hours, and prob
ably as many more during the night, In
1886 there were 1875 vessels anchored
here with tonnage of 40, 900 compared
with q tonnage Of only 10000 in 1897.
The report suggested that il freights
were made cheaper by harDoF improve
mepts, it is possible that some manu-
featuring enterprise may be established
here. The report was complete in every
detail and will be included in the Majors
