Special Correspondence of the Globe. TACOMA, Wash.. Sept. 28— Here is the only story of a boy Klondiker written by the boy. Perhaps you will pay as he didn't get all the way there that he should stand back and let others talk. But right there you be tray ignorance of the boy. He wants to- tell why he didn't and he knows how to tell it too. Here is his story, Just as he writes it: "I left Tacoma August the 25th, on the ill-fated Mexico, and after a very pleasant trip north arrived at Dyea a week later. Here our troubles began. At a meeting held on the boat a few days before our arrival, it had been decided that, as there was no wharf He Tells Why He Started for the Gold Fields. at Dyea, the miners would take the freig-ht from the ship's boats on light ers, and carry it above tide water, and after all the goods had been thus land ed, men appointed by the miners would separate the merchandise, checking off every man's freight, and seeing that each received his outfit entire. "We were quite dismayed when we found that on account of the shallow water and rugged shore, we were obliged to land on the rocky point three miles from Dyea. The unloading took about a day and a half, during which time everything was in con fusion. With tons of *j|fc>visions around, we had but little to eat, and some of the men could not even nn_ THE SAINT PAUI7 GLOBE: SUNDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1897. their blankets. On the second day everything was assorted, and it was found that scarcely a thing was miss ing. "From this point to Dyea, the begin ning of the famous Chilkoot trail, we were transported in canoes by the In dians, at a charge of one cent per pound on our outfits. After our ar rival at Dyea, we found that the price for packing was twenty to twenty-five cents per pound — since advanced to forty — the packing being done by In dians, who are very unreliable. As the most of our money was in our outfits, and a horse and burro, we started to pack our own goods through. The burro proved of little service on ac count of the mud, and the deep swift fords that it was necessary to cross causing him to swim where a horse could ford. We lost the use of the burro a couple of days later through a fall from a small foot bridge. Really, most of the packing was done on our backs, one horse not being able to carry over 200 or 2j&> pounds, which does not count for muclv in an outfit for four men, weighing 5,500 pounds. "We pursued the adopted by most of the miners^/ of ; -j packing our outfit a mile at a time, aTroan packing from 50 to 100 pounds: each trip. This packing is very hard on f a man, and in order to stand it-he Should be in ured to hard labor, 'ajid ijLven then the men get along best^who packed before and are usedi/toi I*. "I, being the boy 0f "the party, and, in fact, the only brie Who had not been used to this soft of,/living, broke dewn after two weeltj of^packing, and was forced to return, leaving my part ners to go through, which they intend to do before winter sets in.' "The trail is very hard for packing. For the first eight miles it winds through a valley which is nearly level, but sandy, making it very hard walk ing. In the eight miles the river is crossed, once by ferry and forded four times, the water in these fords being very swift and cold. After leaving the valley the trail enters a canon and becomes rocky, and, at times, very steep. This continues until you reach Sheep camp, fifteen miles from Dyea, and In the trip up you have passed as many glaciers. "From Sheep camp to Stone house, three miles further on, it is simply a repetition of what is passed in the canon. Here horses must be left be hind, as from here to the lakes the trail becomes very rough. Above you rises the summit, the dread of all Yu koners. I found that the steepness of the summit had not been exaggerated. As one of the men said: 'It seems to lean the wrong way.' "Once the summit has been reached, most of the miner's trouble is over. From there it is a downhill pack, and he is looking forward to the lakes, not dreading the awful summit. Over at Lake Linderman ordinary boats were being made and sold for from $150 to $200 each, and were not being turned out fast enough to supply the de mand. "On the trail nothing is done for ac commodation. You pay for everything and pay dearly. While the hardships are great, and many parties will be unable to get through this season, and, of course, it is out of the question for men to start so late, it will be much easier traveling in the spring. "I would adviße men, going from the East, to come to Tacoma about the first of March, buying their outfit here, where they are as cheap as In the East, and thus saving transporta tion across the continent, and receiv ing needful information from our mer chants, who make a specialty of Yu kon outfits. In this way they will be enabled to make an early, start, sledg ing over the pass on the snow and avoiding the mud and water, which at that time of the year is frozen —"A. P. Hill Hudson." DRY MARSH BIRMXG. Two Thonxand Acres a Mass ot Smoking Rains. CHICAGO JUNCTION, 0., Oct. 3.— One of the most disastrous fires in the history of this section of the country is now prevailing in the New Haven marsh, one and a half miles south of this place. The ground is composed of dry weeds and rotten vegetation and is easily ignited. The fire was caused by the burning of a brush heap by a farmer, and has been burning for near ly a week, and today 2.000 acres of the tract of 6,000 acres is a smoking mtJss. Two houses have been burned and nearly a dozen more are in danger All the inhabitants are prepared to move within short notice as the fire is burning everything in its path The Hollanders' celery gardens are in close proximity and great fear is being en tertained by them, as they have nearly all of their late crop of celery to har vest. o In the Klondike.
