Overland to St. Michael.

N. Y. Sun
The journey which Mr.. L. 1. Bales
made in Alaska early this summer,
alone and without firearms, was an In
teresting illustration of the feats OF
travel which . hardy man, accustomed
to roughing 1t, may perform. Bales
is an Alaskan guide and his long ex-
perience has given him confidence that
he can reach most any part of A laska he
wishes to visit, depending entirely up
on his own resources.
He wanted to 60 to Nome earleY IN
the summer, 20 he went up from the
south by the overland trail along the
coast till he reached the Alaska penin-
sula at the neck joining it to the
mainland. There he was, almost un-
der the shadow of the splendid Hanna
volcano, without further means Of get
ting north, for he could sIedge no long
er. The snow had disappeared, but
the coast was still checked with ice,
and Behring sea was covered with foes,
for the southern limit of the peak is
only little north of Pribylof islands,
until about May Is. He could not
pack provisions on his back enough to
last him for a tramp OF 500 miles
through the wilderness to tho neigbor-
hood of st. Michael; but he could buy
a light kyak and make his way by tho
rivers that would carry him in tho gen.
eral direction in which he wished to 60 ;
20 that is what he did.
Most OF the country through which
he travelled Is extremely fiat except
where ranges Of hill border some of the
river valleys. Owing to this fatness
the portages between river systems are
short and easy to cross and sometimes
there are no portages at all, for lake
will send its waters in two directions
to join two distinct river systems. This
fact was very helpful to Bales, who
thus made bis way from one small riv-
er to another In a general northwest
direction till he came to the mouth OF
the KusKokwim river Then he padded
up this river for about $50 miles, ad-
vancing now in general northeast di-
rection, until he came to the point
whore the Kuskokwlm and the Yukon
most nearly approach one another.
Then he crossed the low-lying country
between them, utilizing their little
tributaries that nearly run together
At last he reached the Yukon, descend
ed the mighty river to it's mouth and
made the remaining 100 miles OF the
journey to st. Michael by sea.

The conference was between Wee Pres

went over the situation from the inaug-
uration OF the strike on Saturday up to
the present time. The scale OF wages de-
manded by the employees was Thoroughly
discussed as also were the conditions
under which the employees labored. The
conference was for naught, Mr.. Pettlnglil,
II ia said, assuring Mr. Woodman that the
unien would not be recognized In the
matter and that the company would stick
II out to the end.
