ADDySTON CASE EXPLAINED.

The much talked about Addyston case, which Is

coupanies composing the Associated Pipe Works as
the combination Is called retain their corporate eX-
istence combining an order to fix prices while con-

DRIVING OXEN TO KLoNDIKE.
Fifteen Months in Going Half the
Distance from Edmonton
to Dawson.

@. w. Lang, of San Antonio, Tex, and
his partner undertook to drive a herd
of cattle and horses to the Klondike.
They started in February, 1898, with 80
head of steers and 30 horses, from Ed
monitor, Northwest territory. The OUT
fit is now at Deadwood lake, !, 400 miles
on the way TO Dawson City. Half Of the
oxen are still alive and nearly all OF the
horses. If they are reasonably success
full they win reach their destination
next fall.
Knowing the perseverance OF the
men, it is safe to presume they viii get
there, even though they drive but
single emaciated OK TO the slaughter
house at Dawson City.
With two or three helpers Lang and
his partner started on their long jour
ney of over 1000 eyentful miles, about
the middle Of February, 1898. They
took the trail leading to Athabasca
Landing, thence up the Athabasca and
Little Slaye rivers TO Lesser Slave
lake, distance from Edmonton Of 300
miles.
1T was while resting our horses at
this post" says traveller, who has re-
Gently returned from the KlondilSe,
''that we first saw them, with their long
string of yolSed oxen, slowly, patiently
hauling their loads. They did not APP
pear to strain, but by reason of their
ponderous weight alone the sleigh fol-
lowed their slow deliberate steps. The
men were weary when they reached that
point. For month they had been up
at four a. IN. to feed their stock, and
were in a state of constant activity un-
til long after dark. During the day
they travelled continuously, never
stopping at noon for lunch. but eating
their hardtack as they walked. Already
one of the men had played out and was
forced to return, thus increasing the
hardships for those remaining.
"On being asked as TO their rate of
progress one of the party responded
cheerfully; oh, we get along very we'll
Some days we make as high as 10 or l2
miles,"
The usual daily average for prospect
ors with horses is from 20 to 25 miles
The drivers did not stop at the post sta
tons. Rest was not considered in their
schedule. Each steer was packed will
from 200 TO 800 pounds. Having clover
pointed hoofs, they sank into the trail
and often had to be pulled out with
ropes.
The last news of the party reported
them to be spending the winter at Dead
wood lake, where they had stopped il
the fall, early enough TO put up lit
tie hay for the stock. Lang had diec
