\ SUNDAY in klondyke.

| left Skagway, Alaska. Monday.
July 10, and arrived at Bennett the
same evening, distance of 40 miles.
Bennett is the terminii of the rail
road. Here we lost a dav waiting for
a boat.
The readers of THE REPUBLICAN
will remember III my former letter
said that fifteen miles from Skagwav
was the summit of the mountain and
that on the summit of this mountain
we find lake, which is the source of
the Yukon River. 1t will be seen
that we come down grade all the time
until we reach st. Michaels.
We left Bennett on the evening of
July II by way of steamboat and
arrived at White Horse on the morn
ing of July -. Here we had to walk
distance of five miles, as the river
is too dangerous for steamboats, to
continue. All freight is transferred
by way of tramroad. We lost two
days at this point waiting on boat.
We were then 401 miles from Dawson
City, and after we started from White
Horse we made good time. arriving
at Dawson Saturday evening at
o'clock
Dawson City, including klondyke

coulty for trial
Ihe Hagerstown Null says: Judge
Stale said when the case came before

Cotli% IN the State will be in Garrett
county in September. He would
therefore sign an order for its removal
to that county. The questions of
withdrawal OF plea. and of summon
ing special jury he preferred should
be decided by full bench which will
be done as soon as Judge Boyd is well
enough to give attention to the case.
States Attorney Wagaman here
raised the point as to the right of
counsel to apply for change of venue

matter the Court said will also be
considered by a full bench.

Last week the borough authorities
employed stone crusher to prepare
material to do macadamizing within

A new bridge has been erected over
the small stream north of town near
Miss Maggie Browns residence.
The public road extending north
from town over the Starner Hill has
been greatly neglected by the county
authorities for number of years. 1t
is one OF the most important roads in
the district, there being much travel
and heavy Etraffic upon it, it being
one of the principal roads over which
heavy commodities are transported to
and from the railroad station. Fully
!. two .pliles of it lie on Garrett county
soil, sand being somewhat hilly it
requires more expenditure to main
tain it in reasonably good condition.
Notwithstanding these conditions.
the mere pittance of about $500 is
what the economical (?) county faith
ers have seen fit to levy annually for
the maintenance of this road. Last
fall number of our citizens. Drinci-
pally farmers. and a number of Penn
sylyania citizens did a lot of work
upon this road gratis. This season it
appeared as though the county au-
thorities expected our people locally
to do all the repairing 9ratiS. Final
ly some work was performed .by
authority of the county officials. The
condition of this road in general is a
disgrace to county claiming social
progress.
