MENEFEE RETURNS FROM ALASKA
file Will Oo to the Klondike Next Spring
by Way of the Yukon.
"Don't attempt the trip to the Klon
dike until spring, and when yon go, take
the Yukon route via St. Michaels."
This is the advice given by ex-Councilman
J. P. Menefee, and he is in a po
sition to offer some sensible suggestions
that should be heeded by those contem
plating such a journey.'
Mr. Menefee was a passenger on the
steamer Elder's first trip, and after
thoroughly looking over the situation at
Dyea and Skaguay, concluded to. return
to Portland and remain until spring,
and he arrived home Sunday evening.
"Skaguay is where most of the gold
seekers are landing," said Mr. Menefee.
""It is much more convenient place than
Dyea. Horses and pack animals can be
used over White's pass, while only In
dians can be utilized over the Chilkoot
pass from Dyea. There were at least
2600 miners at Skaguay a week ago last
Sunday, when I left, and 1 have no hes
itancy in saying that not over 25 per
cent of that number will get over the
pass this year. The pass is in a terrible
condition and those who attempt to cross
at this time are taking their lives in
their bands. The trail is but one mass
of mud, slush and large rocks, and the
Dyea trail is much worse. I have no
idea that any effective work will be done
on either trail for months to come. At
Skaguay meetings of the miners were
. frequently held and resolutions were
adopted, calling upon the men to go to
work and put the trail" in a passable
condition, but this is all that wilt ever
come of the effort. The men would not
undertake the job and the pass is worse
now than it ever was. So far not over
twenty-five men have succeeded in get
ting over White's pass, although more
bave been successful in tackling the
Chilkoot pass. So far as I could learn,
not a Portland man " has yet got over
ither pass. Alex. Donaldson, formerly
a fireman of this city, and his party will
probably be the first to cross White
pass. They have two horses to the man
and are making fair progress.
V' "There are not many people at Dyea,
nearly all having pushed their way
' about seven mi'es np toward Chilkoot.
Of this distance, there is about three
miles of portage, which is hard and
dangerous work. It is done by Indians.
One wades in the water and steadies the
boat, while two others on either side
drag the boat along by ropes. Indians
are autocrats at Dyea. They realize the
. fact that they have the miners at their
' mercy, and they will not touch a pack-,-age
of. freight unless an advance of from
. 28 cents to 35 cents a pound is made.
Even at these exorbitant figures the In
dians sometimes refuse to work, and
. threats and entreaties are in vain.
"From Skaguay, about four miles can
be "made by wagon. Then comes the
mountains, over which horses can be
used. The summit of White pass is
about 3500 feet high, and that of Chil
koot about 1000 feet higher. It Is ridic
ulous to suppose that either pass will
ever be placed in proper condition for
travel unless' the government does the
work. The miners will not do it. The
large bowlders will bave to be removed
by blasting, and the miners will not in
vest money for such . purposes. They
will do just what is necessary for their
immediate requirements and that is all.
"Sknguay and Dyei will undoubtedly
be lively places this winter, and living
will be cheap. Many prospectors came
in overloaded and are now disposing of
their provisions at a sacrifice. Flour
can be bought for 50 cents a sack and
bacon for 1 cent a pound. Fruit and
knicknacka come high ; eggs bring 50
cents a dozen. Fresh meat cannot be
obtained at any price. ; "V
"It is useless to attempt to reach the
Klondike this year. Even could the
difficulties and hardships of the passes
be overcome and the trip made in
safety, it would be too late this year for
prospecting, which can only be done in
the summer time. As soon as the snow
comes and the ground freezes up then
the only thing that can be done is min
ing. I shall start out (again early next
spring, but will go up the Yukon. No
more White pass or Chilkcot pass for
me."
Catarrh Cannot be Cured
with local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
a blood or constitutional disease, and
order to cure it you must take inter-
1 remedies. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
ken internally, and acts directly on
the blood and mucous (surfaces. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is not a quack . medicine.
It was was prescribed by one of the best
physicians in this country for years, and
is a regular prescription. It is composed
of the best tonics known, combined with
the best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The perfect
combination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonderful results in
curing Catarrh. Send for testimonials,

The American Flag; Is Flying Over
CUppertoD Island.
San Fbancisco, Aug. 24. It is learned
from Paul J. Henning, an employe of
the Pacific Phosphate Company, that
the American flag is flying on Clipper
ton island. He has been living on the
island with two other men and they suc
cessfully blocked the attempt of Captain
Murtray, of the ship Kinkora, to hoist
the British flag there months ago. The
Kinkora was wrecked and the three
Americans held as wreckage nearly a
million feet of lumber, which was washed
ashore. H. M. S. Comus visited the
island later, but did not disturb the
stars and stripes nor enter a claim for
the lumber.

The Mount Lebanon Shakers recently
performed a great deed of charity, al
though it was not designed as a charity,
being nothing more nor less than an ad
vertising scheme. It however resulted
in great good just the same. They gave
away 1000 bottles of their Digestive Cor
dial to thoBe Buffering from stomach de
rangements. It was so effective in curing those who
used the remedy that they were loud in
their praises of it and in consequence a
large demand for the Cordial was at
once created. '
The druggists of this town bave little
books that tell all about . it. Digestive
Cordial creates an appetite, aids diges
tion and brings about a rapid increase
in flesh and strength.
