When she came to Kansas in the

her husband took up a claim 40 miles

The frost gets only through the moss and

where you pull up the muck you find the

the moss and the muck it will thaw down

In Dawson a butcher told me how they
managed to have fresh meat all winter long.
Said he:
"We bring our beef and mutton in on the
hoof before navigation closes, and keep them
until about the middle of October, after
which time we are sure of steady cold until
spring. We then kill and dress them and
hang them up out of doors just as you hang
up beeves in cold storage plant. We then
lay them away and thaw them out as the
market demands. We freeze caribou and
moose the same way. Last year one of the
butchers froze a caribou with the skin and
horns on, and just as it looked when alive
He stood the carcass out in front of his shop,

Among other strange cold weather fea
lures of this part of the world is the watch
ing the ice in the river to see when it will
form, how deep it will freeze, and when it
will 60 out in the spring. One OF the river
captains tells me he has measured the ice of
the Yukon and found it at times five feet in
thickness In the ordinary season the ice on
the main part of the stream is only two and
one-half or three feet deep, and the water
flows beneath it. The ice forms the great
highway of travel in winter weather.
asked this captain to tell me more about
the ice on the Yukon. He replied:
Navigation opens at Dawson between
the 9th and the 10th of May and it usually
closes about the 18th of October. Long be-
fore the center of the river is frozen, there IS
a continuous strip Of ice along the shores,
and cakes of ice float along the channel AS
the cold weather continues, the ice extends
farther and farther out until the channel
grows so narrow that the steamers cannot
make their way through. The floating cakes
increase in number, and at last they make
gorges at the narrow places and form solid
ice there. AS winter settles down into d
steady cold, the whole river is frozen from
bank to bank, and it is SO solid that you can
run train of cars over it.
"The most interesting time on the Yu-
kon," continued the captain, rs when the
ice breaks up in the spring. That on the
upper part Of the river breaks first and
pushes its way down the stream breaking
the other ice as it goes. The boats start in
behind the ice and move along as fast as they
can, and sometimes small boats start in the
ice The water never freezes again after It
once melts, for we then have the long days
