Secretary Alger’s Plan to Believe
the Hungry Prospector-s.
Washington, Sept. 20.—-A letter on the
terrors of the trip across Alaska to the
Klondike goldfields has been received
from Samuel C. Dunham, statistical ex.
pert of the government’s department of
labor, who was sent by Commissioner
.Wright to make an investigation of the
opportunities which the Yukon valley
and adjoining territory afford for the
employment of American labor and cap-
In the course of this letter, writ-
ten from Lake Lindeman, Alaska, Mr.
Dunham says:
“This climate is very treacherous,
changes being very sudden. On the
ocean ,side of the mountains it rains
more than half the time and rains hard.
On account of the continuous rains the
soil washes dbwn from the steep mounf
tain sides, and wherever there is a level
place you will find a hog into which a
man or horse sinks to the knees at ev-
ery step. This is one of the worst fea-
tures of the trails and makes it almost
impossible to use horses. Many 0f the
boggy places have been corduroyed, and
I suppose by next summer the Skag-
guay trail, which is now practically im-
passable on account of the bogs, will be
in fair condition.
"At present the condition of affairs
on both trails is terrible, and hundreds
of men are bound to starve and freeze
to death if they continue to come this
way. I passed at least 1,000 men be-
tween Dyea and here, and not more
than 100 have got their outfits this side
of the summit. Every 50 yards along
the trail are piles of goods, and I sup-
pose there are provisions to the value
of $200,000 scattered along the trail.
“Prices for packing and for all kinds
of service are practically prohibitive for
most of those who are attempting to
get in, so many are carrying over their
own outfits. Some of the Indians carry
.‘ , as much as 200 pounds at one load.
g White men carry from 75 to 125 pounds,
and it takes a man with an adequate
outfit a month to get to the lake. There
are many here who have been five or
six weeks packing their outfits over
and are not ready to start down the
river yet. All who have come to Skag-
guay or Dyea within the last week or
so will have to come in without suffi-
cient outfit, pay 40 cents or more a
pound or not get in at all.
“There are about 200 men here and
Probably three or four boats
are getting away each day with from
two to five passengers. There is one
sawmill here, with a capacity of 1,000
feet a day, and it has all the orders it
can fill in three weeks. Lumber is $500
a thousand and rising.
“Vfages of carpenters are $12.50 a day
and board. Everything is high in price,
when you can get it at all. Whisky is
50 cents a drink and $5 a bottle, and
poor stuff at that. Alcohol is worth $40
a. gallon. It makes 10 gallons of Lake
L‘indeman whisky. Meals cannot be
had‘for money, as every one is holding
on to his pro'vi'sions. I never saw so
much selfishness anywhere as is dis-
played on this trail. You pass 100 peo-
ple without receiving a response to your
respectful ‘good morning’ and soon
learn to keep your mouth shut. There
are so many on the trail that it is like
walking along the street of a city. The
individual is lost in the passing throng.
and you are recognized only by ac—
quaintances. If you ask r food, in
nine cases out of ten it will be refused.
It .is almost impossible to paint the ter-
rors and hardships of this journey.
“A man who got in today over the
Skagguay trail says that is even worse.
He counted 172 dead horses along the
trail, and several men have met with
serious accidents, such as a broken leg,
sprained ankle, etc. Several deaths from
drowning have occurred on both trails,
the swift current carrying the packers
down stream and their packs rendering
them helpless.
“Some movement ought to be made
at once for the relief of the suffering
which is bound to occur at Dyea and
Skagguay. Every steamship that has
brought people up will have all it can
do for at least two trips in carrying the
unsuccessfulpeople back to civilization.”
Uncle Sam Tackles the Problem.
Washington, Sept. 20.—Secretary A1-
ger is now engaged in an attempt to
solve the question of how to get 'supplies
into the Klondike gold regions and
thereby prevent the threatened starva-
tion of many miners. The great Yukon
river, which has formed the main reli-
ance of the miners as a means of get-
ting their supplies up to Dawson, is
without doubt already closed to navi~
gation by boats, and the mountain
passes via Chilkat are almost impassa-
ble. The problem therefore is a hard
one and has taxed the best thought not
only of Secretary Alger, but of his
brother cabinet officers and of the pres.
ident, for it has been anxiously discuss-
ed in the .councils of administration.
‘rNow, however, it is believed by the sec-
retary that by means of a novel charac.
ter transportation for supplies into the
gold countrlr may be provided even in
the midst of an Alaskan winter. He
has opened a correspondence indirectly
with a Chicago inventor, who makes
a locomotive sled,. designed originally
for use in logging camps, but which it
Is hoped may be readily adapted to the
navigation of the Yukon when it is froz-
en thickly. With a few of these ma-
chines placed on the river it is hoped"
that a sufi‘icient supply of food and oth.
er necessary stores maybe carried up
the Yukon to relieve all distress among
the miners.
Secretary Alger has telegraphed to
Mr. -Wea.re, president of the Alaskan
Transportation company at Chicago, to
see the inventor of this apparatus and
then to come to Washington to talk
over the possibilities of the scheme with
him. Weare will do so and is expected
here tomorrow. A telegram was also
sent to Joseph Ladue, the founder of
Dawson City and supposed to be now
at Plattsburg, N. Y., inviting him to
come here to consult with Secretary
Alger on this subject and give him the
benefit of his practical knowledge of
the Yukon region and tell how the en-'
gines may be supplied with
. fuel on the
run up the river. _

Deaths In New Orleans—New‘
Cases Everywhere.
Washington, Sept. 20.—In a telegram~
to Surgeon General Wyman, Dr. \Vhite
reports that the detention camp at
Fontainebleau will be so far completed
as to begin receiving refugees tomor—
row. He will be able to take about 40
people at first and to increase the num-
ber each day as the work proceeds. Dr.
White also states that all the yellow
fever cases at Barclay are nearly well.
Surgeon, Sawtelle, in a message from
Atlanta, .évforms the surgeon general
that Atlanta has practically become a
distributing point for refugees from the
infected districts. He thinks the cli-
matic conditions are such there that the
fever cannot get a foothold, but that
all necessary precautions will be tak—
en. About 250 refugees traveling north
have been furnished with health cer-
tificates, leaving about '500 still in the
city. '
The president has received a telegram
from the mayor of Brandon, Miss, stat-
ing that a number of yellow fever refu-
gees were there in a sorry plight, owing
to lack of protection and Inability to
move away on account of numerous
quarantines, closing all avenues to
them. He asked for tents to shelter
them, but gave no particulars as to the
number needed. The president and
Secretary Alger discussed the matter
and will comply with the request if it
be found that the law permits, but have
caused a. telegram to be sent first in-
quiring as to the number of refugees
and seeking other necessary informa-
tion.
On account of the yellow fever epi-
demic the president has issued an or-
der temporarily closing the land office
at Jackson, Miss.
, DIobile. In 3 Panic.
Mobile, Sept. 20.—The few people left
in Mobile are almost panic stricken over
the turn the fever has taken. Eleven
new cases were announced early today,
but that number has since been swab-.3.
by five more, making 23 in all, and :Zir-zcv
more suspicious cases are under sur-
veilance. By tomorrow’s meeting of the
board of health such figures are looked
for that the authorities cannot longer
hide the fact that there is an epidemic.
Dr. Guiteras is fully vindicated in his
message of apprehension to Washing-
ton, and the feeling of hostility which
greeted his return to the city has given
place to one of satisfaction that he is
present.
A call for nurses was made, and a
meeting of the Cant-Get—Away club, an
organization of heroic men who have
helped by. attending to the stricken in
stamping out former epidemics, indi-
cates that the worst is feared.
There has been a quarantine line
drawn from Chicasabogue creek, north
of Mobile, some five milesnorthwestcrly.
to the Mississippi line, so as to prevent
an absolute embargo against Mbbilian.c
penetrating by land into the interior of
Alabama. This'trocha is guarded con—
tinually. Some 200 people from this city
started out in the country this morning,
intending to take refuge with the farm-
ers living from 10 to 15 miles out. They
encountered the guards at the trocha
and were stopped there. At 6 o’clock
most of the refugees were .still there in
the open air, fearing to return to” the
city and not able to go further.
Montgomery has been quarantined
against Atlanta on the ground that she
opens her doors to yellow fever refua-
gees. .
Spreading Rapidly In Mississippi.
Edwards, Miss, Sept. 20.—The 47 cases
here are pronounced yellow fever by the
doctors. The rapid spread of the dis-
ease is remarkable. Five of the total
are in the country. The disease is now
well distributed throughout. the town.
Several new cases have been reported,
but have not been passed upon by the
physicians. The total may be swelled
to 50. The general condition bf all the
worst cases is improved, and none are
now considered dangerous.
The burning of the trestle at Jackson
to stop the running of trains may se-
riously inconvenience this place. Two
nurses arrived yesterday from Vicks-
burg and more are to follow. Marine
hospital surgeons, in charge of 100 tents
for the establishment of a refugee camp,
were expected. The vstoppage of the
trains has probably held them in ,Jack-
son.
,wn Deaths In New Orleans.
New Orleans, Sept. 20.—Five new
cases of genuine. yellow fever have been
reported to the board of health today.
The Italian woman, SantaGraffato, died
in the Charity hospital, making two
deaths today and four deaths since
Sept. 6.
Many citizens have volunteered as
sanitary officers. The board of health
is, however, exercising much care in
making selections of these officers, since
upon their efficiency the efforts of the
board to stamp out the disease largely
depend.‘ The board decided that only
trained and acclimated nurses should
be allowed to attend yellow fever pa.-
tients, in order that the affection might
be prevented from spreading. Railroad
tratfie here has dropped to little or
nothing. ‘ ,
Precautions In Jersey City.
New York, Sept. 20.—An order has
been issued by Health Officer Daniel
W. Benjamin of Jersey City directing
that trains arriving from the south and
especially in the vicinity of New Or-
leans be fumigated. This will affect the
Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and
Ohio roads. The order was issued 50
as to guard against. possible yellow fev-
er germs being brought to Jersey City
in the cars.
The Illinois Cases.
Springfield, 1115., Sept. 20.—.—Secretary
Eagan of the state board of health tele—
graphs the board from the Cairo yel-
low fever quarantine as follows: “Two
cases at Marine hospital at Cairo pro-
nounced suspicious by the state board
of health physicians and Marine hos-
pital surgeons. Cases isolated by my
orders, Sheriff of Alexander- county has
quarantined the grounds. Dr. Guiteras
is coming here."
