Hi) Meader, who w&a one of the boys ; who packed Ms bclooKlnge over j his hack and struck out from Low ell, Washington, in January of that I year. ' In fact, the well Jcnown "yellow trail" compared favorably with tho rocky road to Dublin, ao far as hardships were concerned, and Mr. Meader. who was an en thusiastic youth In those days, had hia share of thom. Hp and a young friend of his had thpir hearts set on getting up to Adlln, and lost considerable time shaping tfielr plans for that trip, when they found out it Was 'mnosslble. Tho railroad was being built at Bkagway.and when they reached that town they found that It woulObe Impossible for tho in to get Into Dawson, the center of the mining activity, until spring. So they were forced to stay In Pkag way through th winter. .,- They took a Job on tho railroad, and it lasted one day. Mr. Meader decided he wasn't temperamentally suited to working on a railroad. Thero were r u in 0 r s of strikes around 8k airway, and the local man says ho recalls one time, when that whole town was deserted. as mon 'n't thlt places of , business and their jobs and went blindly In the direction of the . reported strike. Joins' Party. . ,r Moon M iv Meader had a chance to Join an oxplorlif? expedition up tho river, He packed his good clothes and what treasured belong ings he took ttftfng from Lowell, and stored them in a small cabin in tikagwny. With 1G head of mules and five horses they went down McCllntoek rlVcr on tho frozen Ice. When it began to break, they relayed on the banks of the river and finally canped at a Canadian police camp on the side of the river. Later. Mr.' Meader and his friend went buck across the. river to the other side to pick uiWiome supplies they hadn't been able carry on the first trip. Thi Ice melted so rapt Idly that both men and mules were forced tu awim across the next 1 time. : One of Mr. Meader's most Inter "Sting experiences was a chance he had to pilot one of three scows down tho river from Kkauway to Dawson. One of the skows hud 40 head Df beef cattle; another had HI head of live hogs, and tho third oh. piloted by Mr. AlHader, had a rMlnir tony and packs of supplle.t. As they neared tho Klvo-Flnger rapids, the first boat went around the stream to ."afuty, but the one With thi Qlgs Orlf'ed tho wrong way up a atono formation In the water. It was noncyry to tip the hbprs off Into tho water, to get (lie scow off the rock, and then load the swimming pigs onto the vessel again. One pig was blind, accord ing to Mr. Meader, and kept swim ming around in circles, which ne cessitated considerable -maneuvering to get It steered In the right direction. All but 10 of tho pigs wero loaded onto tho boat, and these swam ashore. The scow was pulled up to the bank and hitched to a tree, ana the 10 misdirected pigs shoved aboard for tho remain der of tho danKeroua journey. Mr. Meader filed a claim at Daw son with his I aKt remaining 916. but due to the happy-go-lucky spirit of tho miners, among whom he had made many friends, he had no difficulty In raising money for living expenses and development. . Later, ho and a group nf others bought from tho Dominion gov ernment ihe cabin, Claim and equipment of a miner who had frozen to death at his camp a short time earlier. Tho equipment was a covered up by Ice and snow. Mr. Meader went down to his other claim and found that his equip ment had been cut out of tho ice by another group of miners, near by. Ho identified It and gave them until dinner time to return It to Ws camp. It was returned and he transported it to the new camp. Ho remembers at that tlmo that .Seth Lowe, well known miner, look over $6uo.uO() out of a shallow claim jMutf above Discovery, and that the Lilly gold strike of over half a million dollars 'wAs trans ported through the streets of Daw son In a, wagon, on Us way to the boat. - Lota of Talent, There were plenty of talented actresses and entertainers In Daw son at Hint time, according to the local man. One talented lady was the owner . of tho Damflno dance hall. Tho ctiKinecr who worked on the ciaim with Mr, Meader at tended another danec hall one n'hr, where hls wn'rtalner was a guest, and after having danced a few dancos with her asked to es cort her home. "Where do you live?" asked the engineer, In his most tmllant and suave manner. O "Damflno," returned tho enter tainer. "Well, if you don't know, who In h does?" asked tho engineer, a bit nettled.

I CELESTIAL' IDENTITY During the clear, crisp nights hat have existed here for the past week or more several stars have shown particularly brilliantly and prominently over others, causing much admiration and woncer as to jut what stars they were, especial ly among the many residents not versed in astrology, and even a mo hk those who have only a smattering . knowledge or the planets. Many have been the questions inked here lately by .citizens re garding these stars, and as l'rof. Frank KelmerJisad of the (South ern Oregon oQeriment station at "plent. who fairly oozes such ce lestial knowledge, was not handy for enlightenment, and the editor if the Smudge Pot who claims to know a star from a member of the mob. or a cabbage, Is very busy getting out his income tax report, the Mall Tribune until now has been unable to tell the Identity of these stars.
