OVER THE ALASKA TRAIL.
Government Road from White Horse
to Dawson Well Timbered.

Our trail still leads to the north
along the great government road from
White Horse to Dawson, gold-seeker
writes in the Hunter-Trader-Tr apper.
1t is about $50 miles, well timbered all
the way with spruce, poplar and cot
tonwood; some jack pine just start
ing in thick masses of many acres.
Forest fires ten years ago drove
most of the fur game to other parts,
yet we see fresh signs of bear and
fox in the dusty road every day for
miles and miles. Some duck, mostly
mallard, canvas back and black duck,
and geese and swan show up nearly
every days travel.
This is the middle of May-the
grass is four inches high, blue and
white flower blossoms, and yet a
pane of glass frozen in our camp ket-
ties each morning. Fruit is killed 1000
miles south.
This government road is soil
tude in summer, not person for 100
miles, but in winter, when the ice
tops travel on the mighty Yukon riv-
er, then this road is a wide-awake,
thriving, bustling, hustling, get-there
runway for the traders and miners.
Great four and six horse stages slam
through this road night and day from
both ends.
Change horses every % miles at
hotels called roadhouses. The charges
at these roadhouses are $3.50 for each
meal, 81 for bed, 81 for hand-out
luncheon; beer, etc., rs cents per
drink, hay and oats to 10 cents per
pound. The hay comes from Spokane
and the oats from Manitoba, both
points about 1900 miles away. Both
articles are first-class.
We were overtaken on this road by
our droves of beef cattle of 125 head
in each drove. They were shipped
from Calgary, Canada, and Seattle,
Wash, 500 miles by rail, 1000 by
sea, then 1875 miles by rail, 140 miles
on foot, then by boat $50 miles to Daw-
son, 1900 miles to Fairbanks. Feed,
both oats and hay, averages $3.50 per
ton.
The first cost of cattle is about $40
per head. They are stall fed until
three years old and weigh from 1900
to 1900 pounds each; the best in the
land. The freight on each is more
than 500, the feed and care another
$1O0.
They sell in Fairbanks for $3.50 to
$400 each. The man who works the
pick and shovel pays for all. Chuck
steak, IS cents; T-bone steak, 80
cents; best cuts, 81 per pound.
One herd lost five head through the
ice; the next day the next herd lost
nine head at the same place. They
went under the ice in II feet of wa
ter. The miner must pay for this loss
also. The hay each herd of 125 eats
costs about 5000 each night on the
road. One herd was short man to
drive, so the younger of us two gold
hunters went for five days at $40 per
day and expenses.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

thanksgiving fToCtdmdtIon.
Governor John A. Johnron has is
sued the annual proclamation for
Thanksgiving day. 1t is as follows:
Upon a day set apart for that pur-
pose in the closing of each year, it
is the custom of the people of the
nation and state to engage in spe-
cial festival of praise als thanks to
the Giver of all good.
Therefore ], John A. Johnson, gov
etnor of the state of Minnesota, do
hereby designate Thursday, the 2Sth
day Of November, as a day of Thanks
giving.
1.-The year now drawing to a close
Is replete with evidences of divine
goodness. The people of Minnesota
have enjoyed material prosperity;
farm, forest and mine have yielded
abundantly. There have been no visi-
tations Of fire, famine and pestilence.
and the countless benefits showered
upon us during the past twelve months
call for our fervent gratitude. The
prevalence of health and the fullness
of the harvest, the stability of peace
and order, the growth Of fraternal
feeling, the spread of education, and
all the countless blessings that tighten
the path of life's wayfarer-all these
are cause for rejoicing and praise.
above and beyond the material
wealth that has come to our state, we
should reflect with grateful hearts
upon the moral uplift that is every
where apparent. In the great civic
awakening-in the regeneration of the
public conscience, we have reason for
belief that a better day Is dawnfng,
that there will be less worship of self,
less love of power, less lust of gold,
less weakening Of faith. and that the
return to honesty and honor will lead
easily and inevitably to the walk Of
virtue, the way of happiness, the path
of glory.
''Out of financial storm, resultant
from the stress of an era of fraud
and frenzy, will come the sun, rising
from the darkness serene and smiling,
marking the muddy pools along the
way.
with the approach of that new and
better order, let us hope and believe
will come more abiding faith in free
institutions, liberty less tinged with
license, progress more glorious, and
unto Him who holds in the hollow OF
His hand the fate of nations, and yet
marks the sparrow's fall, let US lift
our hearts commencing ourselves, our
children, our country to His infinite
mercy and care.
John A. Johnson, Governor"
