TOWN PLACED AT DISADVANTAGE
Another month or so and the ns
ual exodus from Dawson down 1 i\
er takes place and iunutnera! 1
small boats will pass Rampart.
It is to be hoped that these people
will be able to lit out lieie and so
spend a few days in camp, in order
that our advantages may be shown
them.
Last summer, the 6 o'clock early
closing movement was estab.ished !
by every store in Rampart and the ’
result was that hu .dreds of people
who would have stopped here to!
purchase, must needs move on. j
Some no doubt would have spent
the winter here, as the prospects
for a good winters work were bright. 1
Possibly the companies stores at
other points down the river did the
business and so the money reached
headquarters anyhow; still it did
not do this town any good, as it
hmiieapped all men who were try
ing to make the camp a success.
Little social times are all well
enough, in their pn per time and
place; lout they should not be taken
at the expense of business. If this
is the policy of the big companie s
a petition snould be circulated and
forwarded to headquarters, asking
them to keep open on week nights
to at least 8 pm. and on Saturdays
until 9. As it is, there is only two
stores in town where customers can
be waited on, after six o’clock; J.H.
Hudginand E. D. Wig-gin.
1 here seems to be an epidemic
of mad dogs in Dawson, says the
News; it is not rabies, but a form
of madness just as dangerous.
The police have issued an order
« that all dogs found estray will be
impounded. I
There was $20,000 in gold dust
taken from the shipping warehouse
ot the A. C. Co. last fall. No clue
io the perpetrators. ,
To the men.bants of Rampart:

Nulato, Feb. 20, Forum Hclitor:
You would like no doubt to get
some straight information about the
Kuskokwim but it is simply impos
sible to get any true repoit. It is
the craziest stampede 1 have ever
seen. There have been a number
of persons over and back and 1
have failed entirely to find any dis
covery. Flour is $15 a sack at Kal
tag and every thing else in propor
tion. Every thing seems to be at
a standstill down this way. The
srampedeis are camped all along
the trail undecided what to do or
where to go. Yours Sincerely,
J. W. Mullen.
