When Col. John I. Baker left Hilo
ten months ago he went to San Fran

Australia he went on to Manila, from
thence returning home.

the gold-fields. The police would place
their man in one of these boats and
give him weeks provisions, then
shove him into the stream.
r"The current would take the boat
to the middle of the stream, and in
ten minutes the undesirable would be
in deep canyon over forty miles long.
and when he left it would be entirely
out of the Yukon Territory and would
land on American soil. This was done
hundreds of times in. the old days.
while the current is very strong,
the steamers have little trouble, and
there has been but one serious acct
dent, which occurred last year. 1t
was to a steamer called the Column
bian, which was loaded with powder
and on which there were supposed to
be no passengers. Tt seems that the
purser had taken friend of his
aboard, and, as they went down the
river, the two were shooting at OBJ
jects on the bank with q rifle. The
passenger was not used to a gun and
fired low, hitting the powder, and a
tremendous explosion followed, the
bow of the boat being shattered. The
members of the crew who were in the
stern were all saved, but those for
ward were so injured by the explosion
that they we're all lost.
II will return before long to Alaska,
and will be sure to tell all my friends
of Hawaii. This is just. the place that
people from Alaska want to visit,
after spending a long time in the north.

would be many visitors from that Ter
ritory seen here. and I shall try to
send some myself
