Letter from L. H. Doolittle at Dyea,
Alaska.
. Dyea, Alaska, Feb. 27, 1808.
Today is my first day for business and
have my lodging house full for the
night. It has been very nice weather
for two days but I think we will have
some bad weather before long as it is
trying to snow now. This town is over
done with stores and restaurants of all
kinds and no work for anybody to do
Meals are 50c and beds 50c in nearly all
the places in town. Th'is is a very nice
place here but Skagway is a "corker."'
There they will rob a man in every way
he may turn if he is not on the lookout.
People die off there like dogs, sometimes
a day. Only one boy has died
here since we came. Talk about your
living, it was terrible on the boat.
Sometimes we got enough to eat ard
sometimes we did not. The food is pil. d
uponatable and everybody makes a grab
for it, and if you are not in the crowd
you go without eating.
I like it up here all right, feel fine and
getting fat. Everybody looks alike here
and you have to look twice at a person to
see whether a man or woman. There
are lots of Oregon City boys here and at
Sheep .Camp now. Ward and the two
Beach boys and Klinger came in day
before yesterday. Lumber is $40 and $50
thousand here and you can't get all
you want at that. Tell persona who
intend to come here for work not to
come for they can't get it and would
soon get stranded and could not get back.
We had a hold-up here last night. A
man held another one who got the
robber's gun away from him when two
other robber3 also jumped into the
racket and the marshal called the soldiers
out, but the robbers got away.
The people are coming thick with res
taurants and laundries.
