doctor in, he left word for him 10 come
at once on his return. He also bought a

which he hoped wOuld give some relief
until the doctor should arrive In u few
hours he returned, saying tine doctor need
not come, as the child was much better.

SHOOTING THE RAPIDS.
Boat Upset Several Times Into

All His Outfit FlOated Away or
Went to Bottom.

SaIina, Sept. III. w. Rogers, form
erly of Solomon, and a brother of
George A. Rogers and Mrs. c. N. Cog
geshall, of Abilene, has written a let
ter from Dawson City to his friends in
which he describes his journey to Cape
Nome. The letter is dated August 16,
and in it Mr.. Rogers says:
six of us bought a. boat at Lake
Linderman and started for Nome.
Everything went well the first day. We
crossed Linderman, un1oaded the boat
and put it through the rapids and hired
the load hauled over the portage to Lake
Bennett. The balance of the crowd ran
away and left me to pay the teamster
$2S The next trouble we had was a.
wind storm Tt blew the boat upon a
lot of rocks and we had to jump into
the water and unload everything high
and dry, boat and all, to save it from
ruination. 1t was awful cold, but we
had lots of dry wood and dried our
clothing during the night and got start
ed the next morning, but the boat leaked
like fury and two of the party got mad
and uuloaded their goods on the lake
shore and quit us.
From there everything went well I'M
til we got to Miles Canon and White
Horse rapids. 1t cost $40 for a pilot and
put the boat through and one man
walked around. The next trouble we
had was on Thirty Mile river about six
miles below Lake LebaTge. The river
was full of rocks and ran like a whirl-
pool and two boys were steering the
boat and I was bailing cut the water.
One of them wanted to go on one side
of rock and the other insisted on go
f1g on the other side I raised up to
see what the dispute was over and the
boat struck on one side of a rock and
/ went over head down into the stream
The boat jumped up on to the rock and
then jumped off, filling with water. I
called for a rope and the elder Jackson
threw me one.
He knew as much about it as know
about preaching, but thanks to the
effort, however, for he tipped the boat
over in the attempt and turned every
thing in the river, and I grabbed a large
waterproof clothes sack that doated like
a cork. and later got hold of the boat
that was floating bottom side up. We
were all rescued by other unfortunates
that were camped along the shore. I
lost everything excepting my clothes
bag, blankets and tent, including my
nice grub stake, stove, cooking utensils,
my light leather gripsack, the only relic
OF better days The rest of the party
saved their grips
Here was where first met Tom Nor
