THE FAR NORTH
Continued from first pane.
llsnvson dock about 7 l).
day. The river Is much deeper
than whore we were yesterday,
honce we are moving much more
rapidly. All will bo anxious to
find if there is a boat at Dawson
for Fairbanks. It is costly to
wait for a boat in this part of
the country. I went to a restau
rant and got three ham sand
wiches for a sick woman and
found they cost 50 cents. Yet
whon one realizes the distance
food is brought, it is at onco
evident that people must have a
high price for it.
3:15 p. m. The boat just
landed to take on board a wo
man. There was no wharf, so
the crew placed a long plank
from the boat to shore. This
woman lias been cooking for U5
men in a wood camn for two
years at $1!10 a month. She is
now going to the White Pass
roadhouse an inn, a sort of
transient hotel in the Shus
banna district at $50 per month.
Wo have passed several large
rafts of wood this afternoon.
Several men on each raft. A
man at each end of the raft holds
a long sweep in order to guide
the raft. The wood is in (i foot
lengths, to bo sawed up at Daw
son.
Friday, II p. m. We have
spent the day in Dawson; it is
(Uite frontier in appearance with
a great many log houses with
cement between the logs. There
are very good business houses
Iticos Buem very liign comparo(
with Uregon. Wages, too, are
high. Such laborers as whee
ing. grading and working will
wood is $7 per day. If you eat a
meal at all at a restaurant it is
50conts. However, it only costn
the Kline to eat three times as
much. Mi's. Pulton, the boys
and I wont to a restaurant today
and gave orders for three. The
four of us could not begin to
take care of it all.
Vegetables and lruiu are
very high. Small poaches are
three for 25 conta: apples the
same price; bananas, 75 cents a
dozen; grapes $2 a basket.
Lodging in hotels is as cheap as
Seattle or Portland. The single
men who get $7 per day thus
havo the following expense a day
tor board: threo meals, si.nu;
room 50 cents; total $2. Thus
common laborers net $5 n day.
Wo are just in time to get the
last boat for Fairbanks. The
last boat of this season is to
Icavo tomorrow at 11 a. m. Our
Hat faro from Portland to Fair
hanks is$M1.IO. This does not
count board and lodging at trans
for points, nor transfer of bag
gago at stations, It cost S1 to
havo my baggage transferred a
littlo over 100 feet hero in
Dawson,
Tluro would only be hunters
and fishermen here if' it were
not for the gold in the earth and
roukx. It is plainly evident that
men will face untold hardnhips
lor gold.
Hundreds of caribou are being
killed mid brouir it into town.
Orouso, wild chickens, duckH and
ptarmigans are Hooding the
market.

A month ago closed our eighth year of
business in St. Johns. The success we may
have attained has come because we have
at all times given you value for your
money. Stores have come and gone: we
have maintained the policy of treating our
patrons as we should expect to be treated
were the circumstances reversed, and we
are still here and increasing our sales in
most of our lines from month to month.
We could not do this if we did not give you your money's worth al
ways and adjust with a keen sense of right any difficulties that come.
The time has gone forever now when it is necessary for you to send from
your community to have your needs supplied. Our profits are not spent
in extravagant buying but go back into the stock to increase our service
in the community and to pay our employes whom we also expect and
who do spend their salaries in St. Johns. Spending your earnings out of
town whether going to Portland or some where else injures your own
home, your community' your patriotism.
In the stock of our stores you will find everything to wear and many
things to use in your home aside from as large and well sorted a grocery
stock as you can find in cities twice the size of St. Johns.
