LOOK FOB FLOOD
ON LOWER YUKON
A recent estimate of conditions
along the Yukon )? gtvea by the
Dawson News as followH
The Yukon river may be u vert
table flood this summer, especially
on the lower portion. The fall of
snow throughout a vast portion of
the Yukon basin seems to be of
ncord depth.
Captain Xewcomb, of tlie N. N
fleet, has advices that the snow Is
lying five feet deep on tile ground
at Gibbon and vicinity. About the
same depth of snow covers t ho ,
Ground near Dawson, and in U dir
ections for long distances
Southern Yukon, however, hasj
been very shy of snow this year.
From Yukon Crossing southward
little snow has fallen. It was only
ten days ago that the slHghlng be
caine good In that region.
With so little snow in the south
tin Yukon country, navigation on
the upper* river the coming summer
r.iay be carried on with difficulty.
However, distant mountains may
contain a good supply, and there,
is time for much more snow to fall
before tho tha.v. But, as a rule,
the heavy snow falls do not occur
In the latter part of the winter.
From Dawson down, the Yukon
will be replenished with the waters
o* the Klondike, the Fortymile,
the Porcupine, the Tanana, the
Koyukuk and other streams which
may give a tremecdous volume of
water. Should the vnlleys of all]
those streams be as well supplied
with snow as the Klondike, and
should thd sun be particularly
ardent for a continued period short
ly after the breakup, a wall of wate
i:iay be sent racing to the Bering
sea. Low lying localities along the
lower river may have floods of un
usual proportion wlh which o ttcon
tend.
INSIDE BUSINESS STARTS ?
F.ARLY TWIS SPRING
Dawson, March 4: ? The busy sea
son in overland trail travel is at
hand. The White Pans has just
received forty new horses from the
outside, and has them at work a
Icng the line, largely on the south
end, and is expecting twenty more
These horses are the best for gen
eral stage purposes that can be pro
cured. Formerly the White Pass got
most of its horses in eastern Ore
gon and eastern Washington, where
the type of animal most desired ifr
raised extensively. Dr. Coutts wan
~.e buyer for years. This year an
other man was entrusted with the
purchasing. Each season fifty or
more horses are brought In by the
company to replenish the supply.
Every year some are disqualified for
the fast work, and gradually go in
to other services.
Three 3tngew a week are now ex
pected over the White Pass trail,
and a little later four and five may
come. The increased business is
due to the spring shipments of per
lsha" les and other freight, and th?
return of many Yukoners who have
been South on a vacation of a few
months. From now on the incom
ing travel will be good until the mid
dle of April, and will be partlcular
!y brisk in March.

July 3. 11)06, a Ashing party of
were hauled from the nearest railroad
station to the end of the wagon trail
on Lightning creek, where we made
camp. The next morning the professor ,
and myself decided to ascend to the '
bead of one of the creek's tributaries. I
Shouldering our creela, we mad* our 1
way through tbs timber toward the ;
glacier, gleam lag la the sunlight Fire
miles from camp we came to a fall, I
-?rhere we began to flab. There were !
plenty of trout but they were small
"Let's see If there are larger ones I
above the fall," my companion sug- I
gected.
"Agreed," I replied, and we clam
bered up the steep rocky walla.
Our hopes were realised. Wo fished !
up the stream until past noon, when |
we sat down to lunch. By the time we :
had finished eating a tiny cloud had '
crept above tbe mountain top and i
hovered over tbe giader. In a few !
minutes another cloud crept up and |
Joined tbe first then another and an- j
other until th? mountain top was cor- 1
ereu.
"It Is time we were setting ont of
here," 1 said "I believe we are In for
a wetting."
As if to empbaatze my words a flash
of lightning ..ulvered through the black
mass, and In a 'few seconds the thunder
rolled down the canyon with a roar
liko a batter of siege guns.
As we hurried down the creek the
lightning became continuous and ter
rifying In Its brilliancy; the roll of
thuuder wns lucess-int We made ail
(be speed we could and bad nearly
reached the falls when the rain came
in a downpour.
"Suppose we get under this sprue*
and wait until the storm Is over?" my
companion suggested.
"Suppose we get Into more open
country as soon as possiblef' I rej oil
ed and kept no.
Suddenly the lightning ceased, the
thunder died away, and there was no
sound save the dashing of rain. The
sudden calm was startling, and I pant
ed and looked toward the mountain.
I saw a jjreat column of Are shoot
downward out of the clouds. The gla- t
dor shivered ss though struck by
some titanic force, split apart and
crashed down Into the canyon. There
was a roar of thunder, and I saw the
water pour from the sky aa If all the
windows of heaven bad been opened, i
"A cloudburst!" 1 cried. "Ron for I
your life!"
Fear lent wings to our feet We
sped down the canyon, leaping fallen j
lo?rs, tearing through dense jnder- .
brush, clambertag over rocks, fleeing
from the pursuing flood that roared !
down the canyon, uprooting trees and 1
hnrl'ng great bowlders before It as It
came. A few rods below a small hs
ssltlc cliff, with some stunted flr trees
glowing on It. s.ood In sn open space.
To outrun the water was Impossible;
tbe cliff was our only haven.
I dashed up, with my companion at
my heels. Behind ua we saw a solid
column of water that bore a tangled j
mass of drift and advanced with tbe |
speed of the wind We had only time i
to seize upon a tree before the flood j
wns upon ns. It struck with a grind- I
Ing roar; the rock trembled to Its very j
base; the water surged over us; we
were battered by the rushing log*
scratched by the drift, suffocated by i
tbe water, but we clung on desperat* ,
ly In a minute, at tbe furthest tbe
flood awept on, leaving ruin in Its
wake.
About the cliff the trees lay piled In
a tangled, broken heap. We crept
down, drenched, bnrlsed and bleeding,
and made onr way to camp. But tbe
spot where the catop bad stood was
swept clean. We sank upon tbe water
sos ked ground to consider what ws
should do. Io a short time we beard
the voices of our friends. Tbey hsd

where tbe branch enteral and thns

There was nothing left for It but to
make our way back to tha railroad sta
tion, where we arrived after dark. For

the stream.? Youth's Companion.
