Memories of Life in Early ZOs

there was fruit, fish, roast, vegetables.
the ever present coffee and whatever
dessert the cook had in mind for the
meal. The feast of the day came in
the early evening with creole gumbo
(if the cook happened to hail from
New Oorleans as most of them did
fried fish, roast fowl, with baked or
candied vans, beef or pork, fruit in
abundance, dessert and small black
coffee with brandy. 1t wasn't variety
but quantity that made the steamer
bill of fare famous
Many Large Vessels.
While, as a general rule. the boats
were operated independently by their
owners, even as early as 1870 there
were several lines operating many
large passenger vessels. The largest
and best known was the Anchor line,
which operated between New Orleans
and st. Louis making regular SEIZED
ules, while another line was operating
between St Louis and ST. Paul. The
City of New Orleans and City of Baton
Rouge were the larger and best known
vessels of the Anchor Line. The larg-
est side-wheeler operated on the river
was the Republic.
III 10 LQo AuCnOT Line,
there were several smaller companies
operating from New Orleans to Nat
chez, Ficksburg. Greenville and The
Bends" They usually carried hun
dred or so passengers and large freight
carSOeS. They were mostly side
wheelers. From St. Louis one line
operated as far north as Fort Benton,
Montana.

-four, pork, beef, furniture, hay, cotton,
rice and sugar. The largest cargo Of
cotton ever brought down was landed
by the Henry Frank and consisted of
5000 bales. The cotton was not COM
pressed and the record has stood.
Boats Built Alike
All the old boats were built on the
same general patternbroad bulls with
large spa cious cabins above and with
wide guards, usually piled high with
freight. They were almost always
white and each was equipped with d
whistle slightly different from the
others. 1t was quite accomplishment
or was so regarded by negroes at the
various landings to be able to dis
tinguish the distant whiStling and call
the name of the boat.
Promoters now are figuring whether
human nature has changed from the
olden days, whether a person will be
content to idle the time away on long
trips which he could make in a frac-
ton of the time by rail; whether they
have time" to take quiet pleasure.
Freight rates, interstate commerce
commission hearings, uniform bills of
lading and other prosaic commercial
matters figure in the traffic side of
the question. The passenger business
is regarded as gamble.

HISTORIC OLD TOWN ON YUKON
 TO BE SLUICE[)

The statement by Albert J. Peck, passenger south on the Princess Mary, that the famous old placer toWnsite of Bonanza, better known in the Dawson district as Grand Forks, will soon be hydraulicked and buried beneath thousands of tons of gravel, recalls the early history of that mining camp, says the Empire. Discussing the work that is to be done this coming summer, MT. Peck stated that scores of men will be employed in the hydraulic work, and regarding the old town of Grand Forks, he said;
 "The Forks surely has a history seldom eXcelled in frontier romance. The colorful days when the old Gold Hill, and the Northern, and the many other resorts, and big depart ment stores and individual trading establishments, and elaborately fur nished cafes, theaters and other tokens of intensive life contributed to the setting, finger only in the memory of the old timers. Millions used to come out of the creeks and hills, and money flowed like water over bars and counters in the old Bonanza town.
 Now the only hostelry of note remaining in the town is the North ern where the genial and indomit- able Luke Carlson, of the vintage of sourdough days, remains riveted to the helm, happily assisted this win ter by Miss Nellie Razee, who is charge d'affairs de cuisine.
 "The famous old Gold Hill hotel, which was erected in the rush days at tremendous cost, was torn down over year ago, and the old logs which could tell tales of old time high rollers and altitudinous stacks of chips of red, blue and white, and the changing luck of argonauts at blackjack, poker and the spinning wheel, were tossed into the stove to keep the last of the Mohicans safe against the attacks of 50 degrees below zero weather last winter.
 "Old timers who still cling to the

lure and garner the grains of gold from some of the best remaiuing in- dividual claims in the district never tire of recalling the spirit who once contributed to the gayety of life in Grand Forks. They recite the stories of the picturesque life of Harry Bridges cafe, of the roaring games at Max Endleman's and Sylvester's, and the entertaining ways of Frank Phiscator, Charley Anderson, Big Alex, and the hundreds of other characters of the day. The big ho- tel erected by the Countess Corbon- neau, the several flourishing chaurches, the crimson lights along the hill are gone, and the only big buildings remaining are the North ern the old Kearney building which I have occupied; the Clindinin build ing, and Wright's building, where Charley Bell had his headquarters in the distribution of the Dawson News to every man in every cabin. A few scattering shacks complete the clos ing scene.
 Boys still mining on the creeks in an individual way, however, have good pay, and are getting out dumps very much worth while, and deserve every credit Their perseverance and their faith is constantly rewarded"
