BOOK OF CHRONICLES Chap. 3.
#T[ IN those days it came to pass that
jU I a multitude of men of divers
trades, professions and callings, did en
camp at the headwaters of an arm t f
the ocean known as Lynn Canal. Here
it was that the gold seekers disembark
ed from the ships and hit the trail. And
by reason of many delays in starting—
for it was a long, rough, and weary way
to the Promised Land, there was always
need of a wait of several days; and of
times weeks, before the outfit was
ready to move up the rocky canon.
•J Wherefore, as if by magic, a city was
, builded, and the inhabitants thereof
wrere numbered by thousands. Now
the ground whereon the city stood, had
for years been occupied by an honest
_ Pioneer, who lived in peace and con
tentmant with his family. And when
he saw the multitudes, and their eag^r
r ness to build a city, he looked kindly
upon them, and did speak after this
^manner. “Behold, I have occupied
this ground for lo, these many years.
1 Now if ye wish building lots, pay me a
trifle—just enough to make good my
expenses, and I will give you a true
deed to have and to hold forever.,,
But the builders and jumpers took
counsel of the gang who had come with'
carpet-ba :s and doughnuts,, and their
jr advice was to this effect. “Without a
doubt th.s man s maternal ancestry
was of me canine species. Let him
- therefore go to the place where sulp
hur is burned by the ton, ana if he pre
sumes to make one little peep aga nst
us, we—or our brother—will cause his
end to be even like unto Hamam’s.
Selah.”
Ready For Tanana Trade
The steamer Graff of the White Pass
fleet will be wintered at Dawson. She
will be available for the Tanana, and
4 will be put into condition if needed.
The Bonanza King will winter at
Hootalinqua. Should she do so she will
be used to bring down the rails for the
Tanana railroad in the spring.
By having boats at Lower Laberge
and Hootalinqua, the White Pass will
be able to do a whole lot of work be
tween points and Dawson and the Tan
ana before the lake opens.—News.
Don’t forget that the Pioneers wi1!
give their annual ball New Year’s eve.
