 For the benefit of exchanges who read both the Alaskan and the Prospector, it is here stated that the foregoing Alaskan story" is true except in the fol- lowing minor particulars:
 Travel oyer the Valdez trail is neither slow nor dangerous, though beyond Tiekhell the road is little soft for heavy loads At least 100 teams are hauling freight beyond tn" summit Of Thompson pass and are making ordinary speed without difficulty Several of them are taking sup plies to Chitina to relieve tn" food shortage there, caused by the railroad blockade. The mail is going through on schedule time.
 Mcintosh has lost no horses on the summit OF anywhere else. No- body going inside has abandoned the trip. Nobody has suffered any hardship. because the weather has been ideal for winter travel ing all through February. No horses have been left in loose snow to freeze lu death.
