 "There will be an immense amount of frelghting on the Yukon this winter by teams" said Mr. Holland Mr. El.ls, speak, Ing jointly. "There will be great quantl- ties of freight moved down over the lakes to Lower LaBarge, to go to Dawson with the opening of the river below the lakes, and also lots of freight that was frozen in with the seows at the close of navigation will be sledded Into Dawson. Ot course, there Is much of the freight that will re- main on the river until the close of navl gatlon. because Dawson prices will not jus titv the cost of transportation such a dls- tance bv teams, except for articles that arc scarce or such as will bring large price.
 "Our company will sell hay and oats at Its stations along the river at reasonable rateS-from 20 cents to 2s cents per pound, which is cheaper than frelghters can han ale their own feed.

BIKE NOW A SUCCESS
Second man over the Tee From Dawson on n wheel Predicts Great Utiiity for silent steed.

The second man from Dawson to Ben nett over the Ice with a wheel has arrived In Skagway, and Is elated over the pros poets of the bike for use on the trail. H, says the automobile Is being talked of ir Dawson for use on the interior roads, ont advants ge over horses 1t Is hoped it may have in the land being the elemnaton of feed bills. R. P. McLennan Is the man who brings the news.
 Mr. MeLennan Is at the head of the big hardware firm of MeLennan, MeFeeley & Co.,, having houses in Atlin, Bennett, Dawson and Vancouver. Ee rode great part of the distance on the wheel, and pre- diets the bike will be big factor in win. ter travel on the Yukon. He recommends It to anyone wishing to make quick trip without freight or much baggage. He Is the second man out this winter with a wheel.
 MLMcLennan had a evelometer attached to his wheel and with it measured the en- tire present winter route from Dawson to White Horse. The distances from Daw- son 70 the respective stations, with the order in which they are found coming this way, were aseertalned by Mr. MeLennan to be:
 Dawson to Ensly, v miles; to Indian river, 2s; ogilvIe, 43 I'2; Stewart. G r2; White nver, 76; Kirkman, 100; Tulare, Ioo, Selwvn, I46; Selklrk, rS2; Hooteh- ikoc, 227; Nordenskold, 2s7; Foot of La Barge. 32s; La Barge Island, 34s; La Barge, head. 3ss; Police Post, 3s7; White Horse, 37o.
 He was I4 days making the Trip. but predicts that after the lakes are all frozen and the roads are packed we'll and the roughness wom off tn. trip between Daw- son and Bennett should be made without any great effort In from five to six days. says MI. McEennan, -wuS Kvvutrs,V""e' Then on either side of Selklrk for 20 miles the road was very rough. This side of that the road was very good save for 10 miles of the Dominion cutoff. The Can adian Development company Is cutting down with axes and mattox the To miles of rough road along the river this side Of Selklrk and DumbOlton Is cutting down the other side, thus making the stretch on both sides suitable for double teams. Sleddng Is good from Caribou through to Dawson, and the road in all places, except those mentioned as rough, Is as a rule packed hard and smooth as a pavement. All freight on Seows blOckaded nearThistle and Stewart Is being moved to Dawson by sled, also some from Five Fingers.

 The thermometer has ragged from 20 to zs below at Bennett the last two or three days, ond It Is expected and hoped bv those who wish to do freighting over the lake that lee will now rapidly form in all parts.
 w. F. Matloek, who arrived yesterday from Dawson, says pedestrians can get over the lake on Ice at all places save a stretch of five miles along the shore' and that much of the lake that Is frozen Is eov- cred with a sort of slushy second forma- tlon of Ice.
 Mir. Ford writes that the Canadian De- yelopment Company attempted to take a horse along the rim lee of the shore where the lake has not frozen solid Christmas day, and the animal broke through and was drowned.
 Mr. Ford says that dogs arc scarce and high of p:lee in Bennett, $50 being pre- valllng price. He also says there Is yet no
 freight at Beonett awaiting shipment be-
 vond.
 MT. Gage. who hss the contract for car wing Nugget Express passengers and mat
