At Klamath Fails 1 sold Banker Martin a fine 750 Chlcker ing piano and started several other good sales.

Van Dyko, or tho firm of J. G. Van Dyke & Co.: "Our hulnc?s has increased forty per cent during the past twelve months, Yes, we are satis fied with that, but of course we are hoping for a continuance ot the busi ness and a greater increase.

A Citizen: "I bear a great many business men complaining of the con dition of the gutters on Seventh street. Why do they do so rouoli kicking on the street? Wby don't they go to tbe elty council with their grievances, and if that body does not givo the mutter any attention then they should make complaint to the city recorder that the gutters are a nuisance, swear out a complaint against tho offending party, or parties, and let the raarshul and re corder do business with them. If the conditions of the gutters are a nuisance and a menace to the well being ot the community, the sooner tome action is taken the better it will be for the health of all." Kev. A. S. Foster, by letter from Knappa, Oregon: "All well up here. We like our new home very much and I like my field of labor.

It has now gotten down to a good, solid business-like basis and is all right. Nomo was over estimated and consequently wa over-crowded.

He told me he was positive that at least 10,000 people would have to bo taken iwny from there by tbe government or '.hey would starve during tho winter. 1 left Dawson City on September 2.5th. We wore to have tied up at St. Miohaols but the river was running protty low and we were afraid to tackle tbo dorn trip. Yes I shall return In tho spring. It's as good a thing as I want. I didn't see Carder, from this place, but I heard from him several times during the sum mer. He is at work in a mine a few miles from Dawson. Goorgo Love, of Jacksonville, Is at Ft. Gibbon, wbore he is looking after 150 head ot beef cat tle, which bo and Will Bunlny drove in. Those I understand will be, or are already, sold to the government for the soldiers at tho foiV : They -jrill proba bly get seventy-five Cento a pound for them. They will leed tho slock on the wild timothy grass that grows there until cold weather sets In when they will bo killed and the meat frozen for winter ub. There aro about 170 sol diers at the fort now but moro are ex pected. I understand that they have cattle at other places along tho r Iver. There are now twenty bonts running between Dawson and White Horse Rap ids but these are unablo to handle the business. Eighty miles of railroad track was laid this summer, making 120 miles of track in all from Skagway. I will tell you more of the oountry one of these days, but lot me tell you now that it's all right if you go at it tbe right way."
