HALF TON OF TRAVELLING MEN
 VISIT EDITAROD DISTRICT

A bunch of heavyweight travelling men, consisting of Dave Dunbar of the National Grocery Company, Seattle; Fred $. West, Portlsnd manager of the Goodyear Rubber Company; C. Johns of the United States internal revenue department, with head quarters at Tacoma, and C. D, Eshelman Of the income tax division of the treasury de pertinent, arrived in the city early last Sat urdey morning. Later in the day they left for the creeks, returning on Tuesday and departing down river on Wednesday.
 They are all in the heavyweight class none of them weighing less than two hun dred pounds, and their general rotundity has been the cause of several mistakes of an amusing character While in the Ruby district Mr EshoIman made the journey to Long creek, q distance of some twenty miles, with a Ruby man, and on their return to Ruby the latter met MT. West on the street and began talking unfinished business to him, under the impression that he was Mr E1shelman Mr. West put him right and the Ruby man was started on the hunt for Mr. Eshclman, only to again meet Mir. West when the same error of identity was re peated The muddIc finally was straight cned out by the appearance of the man who was being sought
 The four travellers had some trouble ill making the trip up the river from Holy Cross They left there in the mail boat Irene, which is not fitted up for passenger se~vire; but with the aid of some cots bor- gav"i from Mr. Sulridge at Holy Gross they ~eIe doing nicely when the passenger list w4~ Increased and the ncwcomers approprI- ated the cots leaving the travelling men the alternative of using drums of distjIiate for beds They claim that there gre more comfortable beds than these articles.

NEW DREDGE FOR RILEY
 BEING RAPIDLY ASSEMBLED

The new dredge for George Riley and partners is being rapidly moved, and if there are no unforeseen delays it probably will be in working order before fall. The material is being brought from Dlkemcn by Si AtwclI in the Little Delta It is unloadcd at the tramway dock, and thence is conveyed by the Watcher Bros. to the Summit, where it is unloaded from the cars and carried over the Boulder creek road to Otter by wagon Many teams are engaged in the task, and rapid progress is being made.
 Some of the timbers which will enter into the construction of the big gold-saving ma chine are of tremendous size and weight. One of these is 18x24 inches and B feet loI-. Several others are 4Xl2 and 6 feet long. The handling of these is no mean task ard the facility with which they are being moved shows great skill on the part of the freiehters
 Captain Atwell has been favored with a fairly good stage of water, and there has been little delay on the river end of the work
 Mr. Riley states that about thirty-fve tons of the machinery for the dredge has not yet left Seattle, but he hopes that it will be here by the time it is needed.
 Much of the lumber of smaller dimensions which Is to be used in the dredge has been cut at the Otter creek sawmll of the dreige rOmUanv

with sweeping bow, said in Yankee
twang:
"'Ex-cus me, sir, but they tell me
