poured from some great wash tub. It seems
to be waiting for the traveler to get just in
the right position then it will tumble down
on him, but then it remains magnificently
grand, just as it has been for ages, and mov-
ing so imperceptibly that did you not know
better you might readily believe it to be a
solid mountain. After you pass and get to a
higher elevation, more on a level with it, the
effect of the sun is indiscribable. The slant-
ing rays seem to delve far into the great blue
mountain of ice and emerge with every one a
different color. Then they dance and shim-
mer on the surface in the most dazzling ka-
leidoscopic fantasies. 2 :
After arriving at Canyon City. 9 miles out
of Dyea, the road strikes up through the
canyon a distance of five miles to Sheep
Camp. The canyon road is nothing more
than the frozen bed of the river that turns
and twists in the most tortuous fashion and
is ever interrupted by such precipices as it
seems impossible to climb with a loaded sled.
At Sheep Camp the scene changes. Tents
are seen everywhere and outfits are piled
promiscuously about. Men are continually
arriving or departing; some of them drag-
ging small sleds with from 100 to 200 1bs. of
freight, others are packing on their backs,
while their more fortunate brothers have dog
teams or horses. There is an air of good
cheer about it all, but notwithstanding the
attempt to make every burden appear as
light as possible there is a grim determina-
tion to find gold or die in the attempt writ-
ten on nearly every face you see. ; 5
From Sheep Camp to the Scales, which is
at the foot of Chilcoot Pass, is three miles
and everybody who can’t afford the $2.00 per
100 Ibs. packing charges has to get their own
stuff to that point. Thence to the Summit
another $2.00 per 100 1bs. charge is made for
the one-half mile distance between the two
places. Probably you will deem this charge
exorbitant but in reality it is the smallest
made thus far for that one-half mile means
a climb right up the almost perpendicular
side of the mountain to an elevation of 1,400.
After the Summit is reached we will have
8 miles of hard down hill sledding to the
head of Lake Linderman. At the Summit
we will strike the Canadian revenue post
that will require us to pay duty and see tkat
every man who enters bas at least 1,100 1bs.
of provision, which is reckoned enough to
last one year. The location of the Canadian
custom house at this point has created con-
siderable talk as it is supposed to be in dis-
puted territory. :
We have been having the best kind of luck
and everyone says that this is the very best
time of the year to get along. To-morrow we
will start on the hard trail over the pass. I
walked out a little while ago to take a look
at the route that has suddenly become fa-
mous all over the world and as far up the
hill as I could see and then away on the very
peak of a further one the little black dots on
the snow told me of some toiler on the way
to the new Eldorado. There was a line of
men and women, laboring along in single
file, as far as the eye could see. Yes, there
are a great many women here, but you could
scarcely distinguish them from men. All
dress alike, some have families and some are
alone, carrying their own supplies.
Though it is Sunday here, little would you
believe it were you ou the ground. Nobody
seems to realize the propriety of giving up
one day to the Lord : all are in the scramble
for gold and will tend to the other business
when they get home, if that they do.
Talk about your street profanity in Belle-
fonte or the sulphurous language of the lum-
ber camps of Pennsylvania, why when a jam
occurs on this trail—which is frequently the
case because there seems to be no system
about it—you can hear a jumble of dog yelps,
human yells and oaths that are that hot that
they would melt the very wax off a grapho-
phone, were you to try to take a record of
them. Of all the hieroglyphies in blas-
phemy I have ever heard of, the ones you
hear on Chilcoot are the wonders. Several
fellows are reported to have sworn so dili-
gently that, forgetting to take their breaths,
they became asphyxiated and fell over in the
snow, where they froze to death before help
came. They say they are standing up along
the trail, grim monuments of the folly of for-
getting to breathe and that every traveler
who passes the frozen figures throws an oath
into their teeth about being too drunk to live
anyway.
Well I must say good-bye to you now as I
have a chance to send this letter back. Will
write you again as soon as I can.
Yours truly,
HARRY P. BUSH.

On Wednesday, J. Stewart McCauley, one |
of our most obliging and accommodating
farmers moved from the Glenn place, east of
town, to a farm near Petersburg, where he
will give his entire attention to raising stock
and farming. It was generally supposed his |
mother, Mrs. Mary McCauley, owned the
Glenn place for it is well known that she has |
invested money enough in it to buy it out- |
On Tuesday morning as Hugh L. Fry and
his younger brother, Mac, were dismounting,
a horse which was considered perfectly safe,
at the school house, the horse turned sud-
denly and kicked in a playful manner strik-
ing Hugh in the face and causing an ugly
wound. The back of his head was cut sev-
eral places, where he fell onto a stone, and
after he had been carried into Mr. Harts-
wick’s Dr. Woods put several stitches in the
right side of his face. He was taken home
in the evening and is now getting along
nicely.

Dr. J. F. Alexander performed a delicate,
but successful operation on one of Mrs. W. A.
Sandoe’s eyes last Sabbath. The doctor
makes the eyes and ears a specialty and
meets with success in his undertakings.
H. G. Strohmeier, who was lucky enough
last season to procure a splendid crop of
peaches in his orchard, says that had the
warm weather of last week continued for
eight days longer his peach trees would have
been out in blossom, which of course would
have meant no peaches.
Dr. A. D. Potts has been called to the Pe-
tersburg, Alexandria Lutheran charge, and
will move to Petersburg, Huntingdon county

will be sorry to see him leave the place, but
they wish him success in the general synod
field.
Eugene Shadle, the grocer and baker of
Williamsport, accompanied by his wife was
at the Bitner place the begiuning of this
week. He is executor of the estate of Mrs.
John Bitner, and sold the personal effects of
the estate on Tuesday. The stock consisted
entirely of Jerseys, and although the day was
a very rainy one, the Jerseys sold at two fig-
ures. Cows and heifers brought a better
price than at any sale in the neighborhood.
Nittany Items.

Winkelman brothers are erecting two stables
on their properties, Elwood is busily en-
gaged in taking orders for wire fence, which
has proven very satisfactory to our farmers.
Four of our stalwart Democrats Newt.
Shafer, Jim Neese, Dan Kerns and Al.
Pletcher, attended a large farm and stock
sale in Penn township and we would infer
from the tone of their conversation that poli-
tics was a motive. That's right geutlemen
stick to Walker township’s candidate for pro-
thonotary.
Last Friday, H. Zerby’s hireling left a two
weeks old calf out of the stable and it started
to escape, it ran like a deer and evaded all
pursuers for two days. By the assistance of
a number of neighbors they finally succeeded
in capturing it last Sunday and returned the
same to its owner. Since the chase Newt.
Shafer has established quite a record asa
runner, and we recommend him to the edu-
cational department as a suitable person for
*‘kid catcher” under the compulsory law.
