F. A. Laatz Relates Much of Interest Concerning Alaska and the Klon dike Region Will Return In th Spring. r. A. i.aalz. of the firm of Uaatz Bros., wood and coal dealers, has Just returned from a year and a halt's stay in Alaska and the Klondike region For the present, at least, he will re mam in Pendleton and ass st hi brother and In the spring will possl bly go back to the far north to look alter some Interests. A reporter for the East Oregonlan met him thl morning at his office and In the course 01 a conversation, he said In sub stance as follows; "ly visit to the Klondike was large ly to gain an Insight Into the inter ests of the country and to experience lue severity of an intensely cold win ter. I left there in company of Chas, Clements, formerly of the firm ot Clements & Wilson, and we went In the usual way, by way of Skaguay Whitehorse and down the Yukon 1 River. , Dawson Very Quiet. 1 "Dawson is quiet at the present time and will be all winter for the general Impression is that there will not be much winter work done on the various creeks. There will be con ideral)le nork done next summer, however, us much costly and itnprov cd machlneiy has been already ship- I ed In to work the low grade ground running a cent and bettei to the ,an. Most of tbtJ. 'dumps' lrom jlch mines Lave already been worked and re- vorked and will be gone over agaiu rext summer. For a long time It was not considered practicable to hydrant ic the. frozen ground, but modern methods have been adopted and can be useo profitably. Last summer was the fitst season it was tried to any extent and It turned out so well (hat it will be largely used hereafter. Syndicates are now said to have representatives In the ccuntry trying to buy some of the better ground. Op tlons on practically all of the ground on 'Cheehaca' hill, one of the richest hills In the Klondike, have been ob talned by an English corporation and will be worked during the coming summer. Its neighbor, Adams Hill down, stream on Bonanza Creek, while not so rich but very spotted, will also be hydrauliced and It Is be lieved that it will pay big. Consider able hydraullclng Is being done on Stewart River. Excitement 'at Duncan Creek. "Just before I left, there was con siderable excitement over some finds made on" Duncan Creek and steam boats were busy taking In supplies for prospectors for the coming winter. Boucher Creek, in the Sixty-mile dis trict, was the scene of much stam peding this' summer and all of the claims up and down the creek were staked through the reported find of gold running $4 and 5 to the pan. but some of the disgusted stampeders who returned to Dawson, say that they went down In the hole on Dis covery claim and pannings would not show over 10 colors. "Be this as it may the clElm-ownsrs are showing faith in the presence of gold there by sending In large quan tities of supplies and many of the claims will be opened up. Numerous Stampedes. "Every year since the finding of gold on Eldorado Creek, numerous stampedes to new diggings have been made, but as far as I could learn, nothing big has been unearthed. The colder the day In winter, the more likelihood there Is for a big rush. Some one calls you aside and In stage whispers tells you of a good thing that he has heard about aud. the more mystery he displays the more probability of his being believed.

It does get intensely cold -up there and I'm, afraid the much Haunted statement of 30 degrees below being shirt-sleeve weather has reference to cozy seat behind a red hot stove. atber than to the outdoor air. Even the boastful that talked so rhetoric- lly during the summer months of the mildness or the January weainer, could generally be found In some cabin trying to consume all of the ood In ths territory In the effort to keep comfortable. Anyone that tells me that they don't get cold up there I'll put down as a romancer, wnen water thrown Into the air falls down In icicles even the braggart will have to admit that at least it's a little chilly. Dawson Modernized. "The town of Dawson Is fast beconv Ing modernized, the pioneer cabins of 'sourdough' days giving way to up w rate frame buildings. This -was es nceially noticeable during the past summer. Several of the buildings were lathed and plastered Inside r.ew Inovation there and if It proves a better frost excluder than the old method, more houses will be lined In the same way. "Open gambling Is no longer allow rd and dance hall girls have been elven "blue tickets.' which Is the do minion's way of signifying that their abser.co Is more desired than their presence. The police service Is espec fally worthy of commendation. All of the guardians of the city are young fellows, but they successfully mam tain order and lawlessness, typical of a mining camp, Is scarce.
