CARIBOU HERDS ALONG RIVER
 MARVELLOUS

The marvellous spectacle of thous- and of caribou or Arctic deer swim ming across the Yukon river and moving over the hills along Doth sides of the river as far as the eye could reach was witnessed by the people who arrived here last night ou the American governments dis patch steamer General Jeff. c. DaV1s The caribou herds were encounter ed in the vicinity of the interna- tional boundary line, lying along tf 141st meridian,b etween Eagle and Fortymile posts. Captain Brgman, master of the Davis; pr. H. c. Miller of the U. S. army service who is enroute south from St. Mi chael; Mrs. Miller and others had the pleasure of seeing the marvellous sight. Dr. Miller says:
 'It is impossible for any person to say how many cartobu were in that great herd. From familiarity in esti- mating punches of cattle on the ranges, I should estimate that at one time We were able to see from the deck of the steamer fully 4,OOO to 5000 of the animals, How many had crossed and gone over the hills during the days previous to our ar rival and how many were yet to come, no one could even approxi- mate, I imagine.
 We had great difficulty in navi- gating among the swimming ami mals. For three hours at least we were steaming upstream among them. The barge in front of the steamer plowed down some of them, but they seemed to bob up from be- meath afterward. The crew got ropes and lassooed a dozen, and dragged them aboard and slew them' and We had the finest Of fresh cari- | bou outlets and roasts. The cap | tain would not allow anyone to Kill any more, as he deemed it would De wanton destruction to take more than could be used.
 "The animals were congregateo on islands in the rivers, along the river bars and banks, and at every available point. The hills seemed alive with them, grazing and travel ing slowly"
 Others who were aboard report the animals were travelling south ward, and no doubt they comprise the huge band, which treked north ward across the Glacier trail forty miles west of Dawson during the summer. Wm. Berry, miner, who IS here from Glacier creek, says the caribou passed there going north tive months ago, following walkers Fork toward the Dennison. one man walked twenty one miles a. mong the moving herds before h cou'' get through them, and many others saw them. He says the whole mountains seemed to be alive anG moving.-Dawson News.

EDISON GIVES DAWSON
 a.y,.- WsEAkn
 A GRAND BOOST

The Edison company's magazine contains fine large photo engra- yure of Dave Williams beautiful uh, nograph parlors in Dawson, ana thr following fine writeup:
 Whatever you may think of the Yukon region as a wonderful place to live, with sunlight twenty-four hours of the day in summer. and all tn scenic glories Rex Beach talks about in his novels, you'd hardly pick it out as an ideal place to sell the Edison, would you? But Dave Williams doesn't ask for any better chance. In Dawson City, Yukon Territory, two thous- and miles away from his jobber, he carries on a thriving business in spite of the fact that navigation up there Is possible only four months oF the year. He's real Yukon en- thusiast, as well as a thorough going Edison man. To hear him talk you'd think no place where you had to turn on the lights to read at midnight was good enough r.: sell Edisons. Obstacles are bread and cheese to this live-wire of the North - he eats. them up. We are no. certain that he sells Edisons all might, but we don't doubt it at all. In a country where they play baseball at midnight by natural light you can do almost anything or, at least, Dave Williams can.
