A new kLOND|KE PLAN
An Engine Which Will Travel
Over Ice.
TEETH IN THE WHEELS
The Great Rivers Are to Be Utilized as
Track-Chicago Parties Trying
to Interest Edmonton in
the Scheme,

Great Falls, March 24.-Up at Ed
monitor they are talking over new
scheme for reaching the Klondike. At
first glance it reminds one of an old
idea for reaching the north pole with
a side-wheel steamer. The steamer
was to be of the ordinary make,
strengthened to meet the greater crush
ing force and with wheels in which the
paddles could be removed and spikes
substituted. Then she could steam SO
long as there was open water, and on
reaching ice the paddles could be I'M
shipped, the spikes inserted and the
boat sent galy ahead over the ice
fields Somehow the plan was never
tried. The Edmonton scheme is to be
exploited by a Chicago company, it is
said, and the idea is a locomotive to
travel on the Northern rivers dragging
after it train of ears. R. M. Spring.
er. '97 klondiker, is the advance
agent of the company and is now at
Edmonton for the purpose of interest
ing the town council in his work.
The idea is to have locomotive and
train of cars. The motive power is fur
nished by an engine which revolves two
large wheels, one on each side of the
in diameter, made of metal and hollow
inside. They are made narrow on the
rims, the intention being to have them
cut through the snow and grip the ice
beneath, for which purpose the rims
are provided with transverse teeth.
Rough ice is to be overcome by two
guard wheels projecting in front. which
are to cut and clear a track for the
drive wheels. The body of the engine
will be high enough to pass over the
snow while the wheels cut through.
The cars will follow on runners over
the snow, while the body is suspended
so that no matter how siding the track
the car proper will always retain per-
pendicular position. On being detached
from the runners the cars can be used
as boats. each being capable of carry
ing is tons. Its promoter claims that
on level ice he would have no difficulty
in running 20 miles an hour.

Peter is brindled cat of uncertain

side grocery with intent to descend
upon the roofs of visiting dogs and DO

and unimpeachable courage, Peter had
things all his own way for long time.
He would prowl about and lie in wait
for the invaders. Then he would crouch
on some elevated spot, silent and
vengeful Then at the rigt time he
would launch himself on the back of his
victim. Thereupon would rise much
clamor, noise, splitting, scratching,
yowling and the scraping of eager feet
