ALI AMERICAN FAKE.

Not satisfied with the fearful results of the "An Canadian Route Co klon- dike. some idiotic sensationalist or criminal fal<cr has organized crowd oi suckers to go Co Nome overland oy an Al American Route Such schemes AS these do irreparable injury to the North. While there k little danger of anyone familiar with the conditions being taken in. those coming from the East arc as likely Co believe the repre- sentations of these promoters as they are those of old Alsskans. There Is not one of them but that represents him- self Co be a ''mushcr" ot great eXper- fence in the North. Thus the stranger Is fooled. To him there is as great probability of one man being fakcr as another. Of course. a careful study Of the situation. such as every man who Is going Co make a trip Of such magnitude as the winter journey Co Nome should give to the subject, would demonstrate 10 anyone the impracticability of any winter route Co Nome, or any in- terior point, other than that via Skag- way. But there Is something in the excitement pertaining to a gold stam- pede that leads many otherwise sensible men Co lose their heads and Co refuse Co use the reasoning faculties given to or dinary matters. The Edmonton and Stikine routes caught most Of their vic tins from the East, men who refused Co take the well beaten path Of the old Yukouers, preierring instead Co listen to the plausible stories Of the fakers.
 But the excuse for the all Canadian route Co Dawson was many times great CT than that for an all American route now. Alaskan information was not so general when the rush Of lS97 com menced as it Is now. Now the best routes Co Nome and the interior are known by all, and he who goes east to promotes scheme to lead men into the fastness Of an Arctic winter, in the in terior of the district far from the hab- itation of man, is committing crime. He can not plead ignorance, who has ever been north or even Co the coast. Not only is he obtaining money under false pretense but he Is causing people to undertake a journey in which the chances are strongly against their sur viving.
 There is moral obligation resting with the press Of Alaska and the Sound country, where information is possessed as Co conditions in the North, to expose such fakes as that proposed by NIT. Vrooman of Chicago.
