formation.

According to promise before leaving
here, Frank Brady writes to his Langdcn
friends through the columns of this pa
per and gives plain nncolored account
of how hefnds things, as far as he has
gone in his trip to the Klondike. The
letter comes from Dyea, and was written
on st, Patrick's Day. Judging from the
general tone of Franks letter he is not
disheartened by his experiences so far:
DYEA, Alaska, March II, 1898.
I write asking that you allow me a
little space in your columns to enable me
to give some advice, gained through
personal experience to those who may
think of starting for Alaska, or rs it is
commonly called, the Klondlke country:
In the first place do not start on short
money for there are numberless expen-
ditures necessary out here that people
back in the States know nothing about.
For an instance, you can buy a ticket in
Seattle for Dyea, and have your baggage
checked through to that point, but you
are landed in Skaguay, as none of the
steamers can can get into Dyea When
you are landed on the dock at Skaguay
It costs each man woman or child so cents
to land, and if carrying valise in the
hand it is 25 cents extra. Then if you
want to go to Dyea you can be taken
over on tug or ina row boat for the sum
of 50. with 25 cents extra for each piece
of baggage. You are Landed on the
beach 21@ miles from Dyea and met by
teamsters who will take charge of your
baggage at the rate of 81 for each piece.
All freight is loaded on fiat boats at
Skaguay, and nn]oaded at Dyea when the
tide is coming in, thereby compelling each
person to pay 50 25 per hundred for the
unloading of freight with the additional
expense of SIS to pay for the rent OF a
piece of ground ten feet square to pile
your goods ON if you want to store them.
Then there is no way of getting freight
out to the foot Of the summit, except by
teams which charge So per hundred, be.
sides toll gate fec of 50 for each load.
Then. when you camp at the summit you
pay So for the privilege of tent ground
and of course you must have a fire. For
this you have to pay 6 cents a pound for
green pine wood and as it is very slow
work getting over the pass, often re-
quiring from three to four weeks the
camp expenses naturally come quite high
Then comes the governmental duty on
each mans outfit OF provisions OF $50,
with $15 extra for each gun of any kind
or size you may have with you, then s25
head for dogs, regardless of size or
quality. 1t is estimated that there is ut

Biggest spouter in the World.


From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat:
The largest fountain in the world was
turned or recently at Indianapolis and
permitted to flow for an hour. 1t is
one of the cascades now in the course
of construction at the base of the Sol
diers' Monument. The flow of water
measures fully up to the contract,
which calls for 1000 gallons a minute
at each of the two cascades as a reg
ular thing, with capacity under high
pressure, however, that is much great
er. The combined capacity of the
world-famous fountains at Versailles,
hitherto the largest in the world, is
10000 gallons an hour. They would
make but feeble streams in comparison
with the monument cascades, and yet
the cost of running the French foun-
tains is so great that the water is only
turned on on gala days.
