Seattle the Place to Outdt.
The following Item, which will be of
interest to a number of our readers, we
copy from the Seattle, (Wash.), Post-In
telligencer, of August 19:
"William Dale, a leading ranchor and
business man of Skagit county, is at tho
Diller. Ho returned last Saturday from
a six weeks'. visit in the East. He visited
at Tionosta., Fa., in the oil region ; also
at Buffalo, and Olean, N. Y. 'Times are
very hard there,' said Mr. Dalo. 'I should
say that the Klondike excitement is
worse thore than it is here. They don't
know much about tho hardships of the
trip, though the papers are full of ac
counts of the great gold region, with
many pictures.' Speaking of prices, Mr.
Dale said that he took pains to price all
sorts of clothing and groceries in the far
East and in St. Paul. 'I find,' he contin
ued, 'that one can got goods cheaper here
than in the East. I don't know why this
is so, but it certainly is true.'
"Mr. Andy Steel, of Tionesta, came
West with Mr. Dale. 'All the young
mon In the East are coming to Klondike
In the spring,' said Mr. Steel. 'They
have little idea of what is needed in the
way ot an outfit, but have a vague idea
that they can buy a ticket in Seattle
which will take thorn to Dawson City
without any troublo or hardship worth
speaking of.' "
The "Rucklails" Deiuilon
In speaking of the reunion of this fa
mous old regiment at is moth port, last
week, the Oil City Rliziard falls into the
error of stating that it was organized in
Forest county, when it should be Mo-
Kean county. It was none the less
famed for bravery and daring efficiency
on that account, however, aud is deserv
ing of all the praise that has been written
and spoken about it.
One of the original companies of this
noted lcgiment caino down the Alle
gheny river from Warren In skiffs in
ISC':, each member wearing the tail of a
buck deer in his hat, from which event
tho regiment took its name. The com
pany stopped over night in Tionesta and
the boys, all hardy young pioneers at
