A LETTER FKOM DAWSON CITY THE INCIDENTS OF A TRIP TO THE GOLD FIELDS. Contents or a Letter Written Ky a Was co County Boy to His Father, at Dufur. A few days ago Mr. Heisler, of Dufur, received a letter from his son, Jeff, dated at Dawson City, which contained some interesting information. It runs as fol lows; "Dawson City, June 22, "D-eab Father : Well, at last we are here, after eo long a time. Our trip down the river was ..fine: he had no trouble at all. But 'there were many accidents; lots of men ' lost their outfits ; boats were dashed on ' rocks and smashed all to pieces. Many i lives were lost along the river. We shot 1 the White horse rapids all right. We :took nothing out of our boat. When we 'came to the canyon we first made a care fal inspection and then we started and got through all right. We are going out tomorrow and look over the mines. There was an immense -umoant of gold taken out last winter. They say there are twenty tons of gold dast going out on the steamer tomorrow and a great many men are selling their oat fits so they can go down on this boat. They come into towu, look around, say the country is no good, and then sell out for what ever they can get and go back five hundred boats have gone down the river. They go as far as St. Michaels, and there take the steamer for home. This is a tent town tents everywhere ;you look. There are about ten thousand yeopie in town and about that many tnore up at the mines. There are men walking the streets who do not know what they came up here for. They etand around and lood at. the hill Bide to pee if -they can see any nuggets stick ing oat. There are three eawmills here and logs are worth fifty dollars a thousand feet, but you have to give the govern- nent a big share of the profit ; the same way with the miners. The government eems to want all of it. You can take only one claim and when you have worked that yon must move on.so many are gotng down to Circle City. If we do mot find anything here that suits us we will go there, too." The run of salmon continues light on upper river, so mat tne canneries are laying idle most of the time. Un less an exceptionally heavy run4 of fieh comes during the next ten davs the owners of canneries as well as the fishet men will loose money during the latter part of the season. Taking the eeason throughout it has not been as iprofi table as previous ones, although we a-e safe in saying that noone lost money . L . I f ... 11 me usu Business mis season. Shortly after breakfast at Fort Walla Walla Thursday morning 42 men of troop A were taken ill with violent pains ia the stomach and nausea. The afflict ed oien were ordered sent to the hos pital, but on the way many dropped to the' ground and lay groaning in agony until medical assistance from the city arrived. The plot of ground between the quarters and the hospital was cov ered with prostrate bluecoata for a quar ter of an hour and resembled a battle field. That evening all had recovered, except five men, who are in a cerionB condition. . Neither the doctors nor the soldiers are able to give a cause for the sicknees. The doctors pronounce it cholera morbus. The-food has been examined and tested and found all right. Some think the water has been tamp ered with. One of the symptoms was internal burning, and the men before the arrival of the physicians drank large quantities of ice water to get relief, but without avail. ' ' The great council, Improved Order of Red Men, concluded its labors Thurs day, and adjourned until the "twenty seventh sun, buck moon, G. 8. P., 408," when it will meet in Pendleton.

Reports of the mileage and per diem committees were adopted and then a recees was taken until 1 p. in. In the afternoon, a resolution authorizing the printing of 250 copies of the great council's proceed ings, was adopted. The selection of the place for holding the next council was brought up, and Oregon City and Pen dleton were mentioned. The latter wes choaen by a large majority.
