Dear LEDGER:
To newcomer the town has
many interesting sights. Most of the
streets and lots are full of stumps, but
few OF the residents have made beauti-
full lawns, flower and vegetable gardens
OF land that was a forest three years
ago. In q yard just across the street
from my window is chained black
bear He is eight months old, will
weigh, probably more than 300 pounds.
He ATTRACTS, much notice, but is becom-
Ing quite cross and we are promised
some outlets from his bearship soon.
Another yard in town contains moose
as large as COW, which divides the
honors with bruin. Large dogs are
very plentiful here. They are used to
draw loads over the snow and ice in the
winter. A stack of dog sleds is no un-
common sight here. The 'face on the
mountain" is the greatest natural curl
osity, being true profile OF human
face done in granite by the hand of ON
impotence. Two great glaciers are in
plain view, but they are too common
here to be ouriosities, Three stores
bear the sign "Keeler the Money King"
another dealer in Anything and Ev-
erything." yukon Outfitters'' in let
ters six feet long call attention to two
stores. The chief restaurants are THE
Pack Train, " ''The Bakery" aud THE
Mug" Saloons display the names of
''The Commerce" "The Seattle"
''The Idaho "The Board of Trade, J"
Tho Mascot, and ''The Monogram. !"
The hotel signs are THE Dewey"
THE Golden North" THE Maudan-
i'm, " ''The Riehelieu" and 1.-THE Fifth
Avenue. The "Arctic Brotherhood"
is the name of a fourishing fraternal
society. Most of the signs in town are
very artistic and quite expensive. At
the water frgnt Americans grind their
teeth to see the sign Canadian Gus
toms, " 'V. r." in gold letters on each
door, but we hope te see these mistakes
rectifed. The hotel Astoria is oocu-
pied as barracks by two companies of
.. S. soldiers stationed here. They are
all colored excepting Captain Hovey,
Lieut.. jerks and Surgeon Bailey.
Some OF the townspeople are very in
dignant at the presence of the 'gentle.
men of color" Three women withdrew
from the Y. NJ G, 4. gymnasium club
because colored men were allowed In
the building, and tive saloon keepers
refused to allow the sable citizens to
darken their doors. The Indians have
a holy horror of the black soldiers, and
there have been no more murders of
prospectors near here since the troops
arrived. These Chiloat Indians are
disposed to be ugly, and while the SOL
diers have had nothing to do as yet,
the fact of their being here is a whole
some restraint.
A frost killed the beans, tomatoes
and vines in the gardens last week and
is light hint of something very unlike
California weather, but then, you can't
have all the good things of life in one
place.
Freight is being rushed through to
Dawson in greater quantities than ever
before, and the development of the
whole northern region is steadily in
creasing. G. H. G,

on liberty, freedom and government by
the people.
If we did not have the illustration
before us, who could believe that the
administration of William Mckinley
bore the same party label as that of
Abraham Lincoln? What degeneracy
in the ideas of a political party are
seen in the contrast between the two.
Hear Lincoln:
"What constitutes the tulwarks of
our liberty and ind .pendence? 1t is

ling sea coasts, our army or our navy.
Our reliance is in the love of liberty,

and become the fit subject of the first

They who deny freedom to others, de-
serve it not for themselves, and under

Directly the reverse to this is the
whole course, tendency and policy of

engaged in war to destroy the spirit
of liberty" and plant "the seed Of DIES
