Klondike Gold Kush *
As Recalled By A Participant
Because of a trans-continental
railroad rate war in July, 1898, it
was possible for a New Jersey
youth to journey from New York
to Montreal, thence across Canada
on the Canadian Pacfic Railroad
to Vancouver for $10.00.
From Vancouver, the five-day
voyage to Skagway, Alaska, on a
Canadian Pacific steamship, cost
him $15.00, including three meals
a day. That part of the journey
alone would have cost him ten
times as much the year before,
but the mad stampede to the
Yukon had somewhat subsided and
the low fares were offered to re
vive interest in the Fur North.
It did, as vividly related in “Klon
dike Gold Rush as Recalled by a
Participant,” by Richard C. (Dixie)
Anzer, published by Pageant Press,
101 Fifth Avenue, New York 3,
New York.
There Were no diners on trains
then and three stops were made
each day to permit passengers to
eat at restaurants nn ranroa^ sta
tions. The food was excellent
writes Anzer. At night lie was
given a blanket and stretched out
on a seat.
At Edmonton, Alberta, men came
aboard and told of the overland
trail from that point to the Yukon.
A year later, Anzer met a Dr.
Osier from Phillidelphia, who arriv
ed in Atlin, Rri'tiSii Columbia, gold
fields fifteen months after he left
Edmonton with 14 other men, all
of whom had to turn back because
of the hardships.
Before reaching Vancouver, men
came on the train to induce ar
gonauts ito buy their supplies in
Seattle. ' Free passage from Van
couver was offered. Those who
succumbed, learned when they
arrived back in Canada to journey
to the Klondike, that they were
required to pay customs duty of 20
to 25 percent of the purchase price
of Ameican goods. Many gold seek
ers did not learn until too late,
that some 15 miles north of
Skagway, that tney would be in
Canada and that Dawson, the
Klondike and the Yukon Territory
were all in the Dominion.
Anzer arrived in Skagway four
days after Alaska’s bad man,
Soapy Smith and Frank H. Reid, a
surveyor, were killed in a duel.
Anzer was manager of the
Brackett Wagon Freight Camp at
Summit, on the Canadian border
post, and during that winter, he
was timekeeper, vc*. u m in
structing the White Horse Pass &
Yukon Railroad. Hiiis account of
his experiences during that wild
scramble for gold 'is absorbing.
* Card of Ti.t nks
The sympathy expressed and the
assistance given during our recent
bereavement is deeply appreciated.

I Since before the turn j

authorities in Europe |
and this country have |
agreed that a common |
link exists between the \
world’s great beers.
Whether brewed in |
I Bavaria, the British f
Isles or America; beers |
1 s
with world wide
reputations for quality i
always have been found )
to possess brewing
waters of exceptional |
character and unchang- I
ing excellence. These |
^ rare waters are capable
| of extracting from select \
I I hops and grains the
most delicate flavors
and aromas. One such
water flows cold and
clear from Olympia’s J
own artesian wells. It f |
is this rare, naturally \
perfect brewing water j
that makes the I
refreshing difference in $
