THAWING FUST
The exceptionally wnriu weather of
the past two weeks has played havoc
with the Whltehorse- Dawson trail ami
wheels are already being used on tiio
south end. If the present thaw con
tinues it will probably be necessary
to use wheels all the way to Dawson
in a few days.
Even the river, which is used in
the early spring as a roadway, will
be Impassable in a very short time
if the warm winds continue, says the
Whltehorse Star, as already the up
per crust of snow and ice is honey
combed to a depth of several Inches '<
and in many places more than two ;
feet of water is running over the ice. j
Such an early breakup means ;i
hardship to freighters and shippers
who each spring figure on lauding a
certain amount of goods and supplies
over the ice to the foot of Lake L.e
Iiirge, and should the river break up
before this tonnage can be moved,
shippers will be compelled to build
scows in which to transport their
goods or suffer a delay of several
weeks until the open season of navi
gation.
Unless a decided change in the
weather sets in, the breakup of thi
river this spring promises to be tlv
earliest on record.
