The Skagway Budgets Bureau of h. formation makes the following claims in regard to the advantages of the in land route and they may contain more than grain of reason:
 By reason fits geographical position Cape Nome is ice bound for seven or eight months in the year, and ocean, going boats cannot reach there before July l. This has been the history of northern travel for years and it is i'm probable that climatic conditions will change to suit steamship owners who are advertising to sail from the Sound in April.
 Cape Nome can be reached via Skag- way six weeks earlier than by the ocean route. The proof of this statement has been in evidence for many years. Ice in the Yukon breaks up early in May, and river steamers reach St. Michaels in June, weeks before the first steamer from the outside makes the port.
 While pack ice forms solid obstruc tion from the ocean approach the flow of water from the rivers pushes it we'll to sea, leaving behind belt of open water, free for navigation, and the 15o miles from St. Michaels to Cape Nome will be navigable for river steamers long before the first ocean steamer is able to brake through the ice.
 Prospective travellers to the new gold country should consider we'll the ad- vantage of an early arrival, and post themselves thoughly. Make no mis- take but get all the information possi- ble.
 The Skagway route is safe, sure, and the earliest. All sea dangers are here avoided, and the heart of the most pie turesque country in the world lies along it's line.

standing around in everybodys way giving orders to Chief Hoyt and his as sistants in the Thlinget tongue. She yelled and babbled and screeched all the while jumping up and down and throwing up her arms. Everybody thought that she had become suddenly insane, probably because of the extra exertion of bossing the job, or that some one with a bucket of water had given her shower bath. But such was not the case. The information had reached her that another building up near the Hospital was on fire and she was directing-or imploring-Judge Howell, D. J. Mink and George Harvey to go up and put it out.
 It is written that in the days ofchiv- airy, for lady's smile men would do most daring deeds and even face death.
 Any one who witnessed the rapid stampede of the two or three score of Douglas Islanders to do the bidding of this dusky daughter of the north would think that the chivalric age was not in it with this the closing year of the 18th century. The fire was found to have been in stump under building own ed by Mrs. Davidson, and was eXtin- guished before the army of volunteers reached it. But they came back and jumped onto that cabin fire with re. doubled zeal and energy and in a few minutes not spark was left in the heap of ruins, but the charred walls of the neighboring cabins told how near they had come to sharing the fate of their unfortunate neighbor.
 During the most exciting period a burning feather bed was pulled out of the fire and as the feathers scattered before the wind they stuck to the wet coats and caps of the fire fighters, who soon looked as if they had been treated to a coat of feathers if not tar.
 That kind hearted Dr. Simpson was at the head of the bucket brigade, working as hard as any one to save the Indian's cabin, until friend assured him that there were plenty of men who were physically more able to do the work necessary than he, and finally persuaded him to let others take his place. Douglas Island never had a better citizen than pr. Simpson.
 It was thought that the St. Ann Hos pital was in danger and the good sis ters were alarmed, but the quick work done soon dispelled their fears.
 The total loss and damage consists of an Indian cabin and it's contents, sev- eral pairs of frozen ears, some wet feet, and the Fire Department is out an axe handle.
