cooking and other purposes, and hence it would be a seriouB matter for one of them to be caught in storm while on the way across these dangerous places.
 Before I started out I Saw a few stragglers, who were travelling light, who had come in over the Mccarthy trail and they reported having had a most hazardous trip on account of heavy storms and the necessity of passing over numerous creVasses in the glaciers they encountered and which there was no means of avoid irg. These stragglers were the on- ly ones who were attempting the journey at all.
 T met three miners named Patter son, Sullivan and Peterson, while on the way out, who had been into Whitehorse for supplies. Patter- son informed me that his partner had gone out to CordoYa about two months ago to get supplies and that after waiting for his return un- til he had run short of grub had had to go to Whitehorse to get them. Up to the time he left Chisana he had heard nothing of his partner nor the date of his probable return.
 Sullivan and Peterson, had not tried the Mccarthy trail. When they found they were In need of sup- plies they went to Whitehorse, got them and were on their way to their claims, without having encountered any obstacles to travel whatever.
 MT. Reed has never been over the Mccarthy trail, having travelled the Skagway Whitehorse route both go- ing and coming, but from what he knows of this one and what he has heard from authentic sources of the ether he will have no hesitancy in informing people, when he gets out side, as to his opinion in the mat ter and his recommendation will not be via Mccarthy.

DAWSON PAPER
 MAKES KICK

Telegraphic adyices from White horse to the effect that eleven days will elapse between boats getting into Skagway reveals a deplorable condition on that run. Ships are all lowed to bunch, and the people of the North, who keep alive those lines, suffer.
 Stages ply between Dawson and Whitehorse, making three runs each way weekly, or practically one stage each way every other day. There are enough steamers on the coast routes to afford as frequent or more ire uuent service in and out of Skagway But most of the ships do not make the connections. Only one or two lines give train schedule with their ships. It is not that the steamers
 mot ply on exact schedule, but most of the companies will send boat anywhere off the main route to get a little side business. Mails, freight, express and passenger bUst- ness for terminals and interior points are subject J0 all these delays The companies do not consider that the time of the travellers is worth money to each individual, and that delays in shipments, mails and the like mean money and other ventures tied up and waiting at the will of the companies.
 Every side trip of a steamer also increases the risk to passengers and all the other traffic for through points. Nearly all the Alaskan wrecks occur in going into strange waters on these side trips. If the companies will not give the fast thru service the people at the terminals
 deserve, and cease carJiug govern ment mails and other business all over the Pacific in getting to desLiu- atiou, it would be well for the governments to see to it in t4e next mail contract that carriers be requir- ed to render prompt through ser- vice.
 If the stages plying the Dawson Whitehorse run on exact time went lettering off to Chisana, and made all kinds Of side trips, there would be no end of fuss. If trans-conGnent- al trains or the coast-liue flyers of British Columbia and the Pacific states took circuiJous routes, and went after freight in jerkwg.cr towns and at fruit cauneries, instead of jourueyiug through in fast time, something would be doing
 The people of the northern in- .,srior established the coast towns and the coast lines, and deserve the first consideration in prompt and speedy through service.-DawsOn News.

bridge at or near the Valerie mine, hence he must have been in the country previously. He was of a quiet and unassuming nature, and like the average old-imer, was very silent regarding his friends or pri- yate affairs.
 He had been complaining for some time but no one thought that his end was so near. Heart disease is said to have been the cause of his death. He was a man little over sixty years of age and carried his years well. The police took charge of the funeral arrangements and he was buried Tuesday afternoon, the Rev. W. c. Blackwell of the Epis- copal church conducted the service.

H. 8. Reed, who passed through Skagway last summer bound for the interior in the interests of the Mu- scum of Vertebrate Zoology of the University of California, is here on his way home to California after having spent several months at the head of the White river. MT, Reed time while i'd the interior was mostl spent in gathering data and making field notes of special inter- est. This makes the fourth time he has visited the north, and he is therefore perfectly familiar with the conditions that exist in Alaska and the Yukon.
 He was twelve days in making the trip out from the head of White river to Whitehorse, travelling a part of the distance by dog team and the remainder of the way with a freighting outfit that he overlook and which was on it's way to White horse after having delivered a con- signment of supplies at the gold camp.
 While on the way out MT Reed met ten w. P. & Y. Route freight teams going in, beyond Kluane lake, each loaded with from 4500 to 5000 pounds. These teams had broken the road and packed the snow, giving a solid bottom which will not be affected by the light snowfall that is the rule ill that sec tiOn of country and which will keep the trail in good condition for travel until the spring thaw sets in.
 When asked as to his opinion as to which is the best and most feas- ible route into the Chisana country MT. Reed said;
 "The most essential thing, or rath CT two of the most essential, for person who is coming into this coun try to know is the altitude of the mountain ranges they will have to cross and whether there is fuel to be had close at hand. If @ person should get caught in one of the blizzards which at short intervals of time, sweep these perilous eleva- tiOns in winter time, and with little or no fuel to protect from the intense cold, it would be a miracle if the unfortunate did not perish.
 "OYer the glacier trails between Mccarthy and the gold fields it is known that firewood has to be car ried sufficient to last the traveller from three to four days in the most favorable weather, and during a severe storm 1t might become ne cessary to pitch camp for a week or ten days, and ill exceptional cas- es, even longer. With the limited facilities for transporting stuff which the average traveler possesses it is only possible to carry exceed ingly small quantities of wood for
