Our Correspondent, Mr. Summons, Says Those Who Go Into the Klondike Before February YlllUeDlsnppointed. Tacoma, Wash., Nov. 14, '97. And now tho transportation poople are saying 200,000 people will go to the now Alaska gold diggings next spilng. That would moau 60,000 por month for Fobiunry, March, April and Mat'. Therefore about 200 steamers carrying 250 pooplo each would bo re quired, provided each nindo a round trip monthly. Already thoro ate fully tifty steamers in the service and dining tho past week fifteen new ones, in cluding several of tho largest Atlantic Ocean lluers, have beeu engaged for uso during the Klondiko rush. Sov oral of the new companies that will go mto tho water transportation busi ness huvo been organized iu New Yoik, Philadelphia and Chicago. Hut other cities aro repiescntcd, including some Nebraska, Missouri and New Yoikstato points. The demand for lumbor to build steamers for ocean and river travel has already becomo a fen tu le of local trado ami tho ship yaids aio as busy as a bee-hive when tho bees aio nbout to swnrm.

Already steam ers and tailing crafts como to Pugot Sound, from all jmrts of.llio wot Id and carry away "hmrbor, shingles, btlek, lath, snsh and doors, flour, paper, wheat, coal and salmon to tho four comets of the woild. The leading newspapers in tho cities of tho Sound print a weekly table each Monday morning showing whero these vessels ate, what (hoy aro loadiug, and for what poit they aro bouud. Yesterday morning tho Seattle Post-Intelligencer, in iU tabic, leported twenty ships and steamers at Tacoma ond live at Seattle loading and discharging caigoes. At Tacoma, whcio tho tcssels aro thick est, tho scono Is already one of lutenso iuterest. At times it is possible to see vessels loading simultaneously for China, Japan, Alaska, South America, California and Uregnu, Atlantic States, England, Franco, Central America Austtalia nnd tho Hawaiian Islands. With tbor addition of tho many mag nlilcent steamships that- aro to join tho Puget Sound fleet from .tho, Atlan tic sea board, tho pIctuto'pTesonlcd tp tho Klondlkers as they como aud ,go will bo ouo of a veil table water car nival, t Whllo ftjs IrWthat mauy Klondtkm companies aio being orguuiied for the promotion of Impracticablo schemes, devoid of capital or backing, it is nevertheless' Into thai tho legitimate compaules already in the field through out tho country for tho ono purposo of transporting pooplo to, tho Klondiko region by water represent nn actual interested capital of $15,000,000.

Transportation is ono of tho gioat problems connected with, Uio rush to Klondike. Many of the best minds iu tho country aro at work on Its solu tion. Ono day last week no less than Uve of tho geneal passonger ngonts of railioads In tho Uulted States called at the KI6ndiko Uuruab at Taco ma. Among tho number wcto John Sebastian, of the Chicago, Itock Isl and & Pacllio railway,. K. Hooper, of the Denver.&cHlov Grande, F. A.

Wo ato just now gotllng out hew fold ers aud maps for Jbe Klqndlkebusl- uess, and we must have tho latest and best information.1' But the railroad and steamship men are uot the only hustlers in sustaining communication with the Klondike. The electricians are at work and a telephone lino from Haines Mission to Dawson City is tho latest. A. C. Sands, of this city, is ready to build a telephone line from Dyea to Lako Bennett over tho Chllkoot Pass aud for the moro serious work of reaching Dawson City on the phono" all of next summer will bo gien up by the telephone companies. Tho long dis tance lino will traverso the Daltou trail, striking tho Yukou at Fort Sol kit k. For over 200 miles the poles for this line will have to bo set in gror.ud that never thaws. Some peo ple bavo curious ideas about how the holes should bo dug. Some experi enced contractors contend that tho holo for each polo will have to bo burned down" tho samo as the Klon diko miner burns tho frozen earth to reach bed-rock by burainir wood on top of the frozen ground, thus .thaw ing four to six inches of earth by each fitc. Supeiintendent Sands states, however, that a number ot fltio steel ei ow bars will bo used and a small portablo forgo will be taken along with tho construction gang to sharpen tho bars. Thoholes wlllhavetobesunk botween three and four feot, and thede- mands for positions on tho construction gang ate very numerous, Inasmuch as tlio.?o who thus seek employment hope to uso tho telephone pole hole for prospecting purposes. Each holo will, in a measure, bo a prospect holo. and may lesult In the discovery of mauy now gold llelds. At any rato by next summer we may cxpoct to bo able to introduce tho "hello girl" at Dawson City. The telephone people will not introduce tho telegraph businessoverJheir Hbv Thoy aro iu the olephono business, and, theiefore, opponents of the tele ginph companies. , Jelegraph Creek, at tho head of navigation on the Stickeen trail route, is a constant reminder of the attempt to roach Europe via a telegraph line backed by American capital. Those who aro thinking about the Klondike and examining the maps of that coun try have, no doubt, noted that there is a place on the mnp named Telegraph Creek. There is nothing up there to Indicate that the place should bo so named, but by delving into tho history of telegraphy in this country tho fact Is brought out that when Cyrus Field was being called a lunatic for boom ing the Atlautio cabfo project, arrange ments wero made .o build an overland lino via Alaska to Sibeiia and Europe Gangs of man had tho work well uuder way when tho Atlantic cablo proved a success and Cyrus Field was heralded a genius. Ono of tho points visited by the construction gangs was a point on thdSllkeon river now known as Telojrraph Creek. Somo of tho miners who aro going luto tho Klondiko country in advance of tho rush aro to go by way of tho Stickeen river and Telegraph Creek. Those who go before February 1 will meet with disappointment. I havo eat of ul ly investigated nil of tho routes, and while it Is truo that tha Stickeen liver frcccs over above a point whoro tho tido does not dislodgo tho ico, it is also true that it is impossible to make headway until tho heavy fall of snow Is melted sufficiently dining the day .clause a "crust" to form at night. On' tills crust good headway can be made. It is also truo that whllo, as a rulo, only from 18 inches to three feot of snow falls in tho Interior of Alaska dining tho winter, a six to eight foot fall is frequeutlyyoxpotlcuced near tho const. About 200 mincis who believed they could proceed as soon as tho snow fell at Telegraph Ciqok went theio a mouth ago, but thoy will havo to re main tliuro until Fcbitinry 1 unless .uststed over the trail by men who nie to wmk all wluitr p.tcking in supplies and matoiiui for a saw mill and steitm- bnals for"lho headwaters of the Yukon.

Women Experts Who Can Detect the llest-Made Counterfeits. "Every working day in tho year Un cle Sam destroys a million dollars; de liberately tears up and grinds to pulp one million dollars1 worth of paper money genuine bank notes and green backs," writes Clifford Howard in the Ladies' Homo Journal. "A million dollars in one, two, five, ten, twenty fifty, ono hundred, and ouo thousand dollar notes, are .daily punched full of holes, cut into halves and thrown into a machine that rapidly reduces them to a mass of mushy substance. When ever a piece of paper money becomes soiled, or torn it may bo presented to the United States treasury and re deemed. Sooner or later every note that circulates among the people be comes unfit for further service, for it is bound to become dirty or mutilated by constant handling, and tho United States government stands ready to give tho holdor of such a note a new note in exchango for it; or, in other words, tho government will redeem it. Tho majnilty of the clerks employed in this important department of the government aro women, many of whom ate the most expert money counters aud counterfeit detectors in the wot Id. In fact, only experts can properly perform tho work that is re quired; for uot only must the soiled and mutulatcd money bo accurately aud tapjdly counted but all counter felt notes must bo detected and thrown out. When wo consider that some countctfeits can so cleveily imitate genuine money that their spurious notes will circulato through the coutitry without detection, and are uot discovered until they are finally tuincd-lnto the treasury, somo Idea of tho piolicicucy of those experts can bo gained, especially when we bear in mind that these notes are oftcu so worn" thauUnT-niipiint on them 'can scarcely bo deciphered. It uot Infre quently happens that those bad notes are detected simply by the feel of them, which in somo cases is really tho only way of discovering the fraud; for while a counterfeiter may occa sionally succeed in so perfectly imitat ing the design of a note as to mislead even an expert, it is next to impossible for him to counterfeit the paper used by the government." The Ananias Club. It was at ono of tho regular weekly meetings of tho Ananias club, and there was a candidate for admission. According to tho invariable custom of tho club tho officers told stories and at their conclusion the initiate was re quired to make an effort. Immediate ly thereafter the balloting took place. If tho members were satisfied that his story showed him to bo a worthy com panion they elected him one of their number; but if thoy wore dissatisli ed with it he was blackballed without mercy. On this occasion the grand exalted chief liar, tho highest officer of the club, said, "I was fishing in Buckskin crook a few weeks ago, and for nearly two hours I had no luck at all. I was beginning to think I bad better return homo when I felt a tug at my line, and I hooked what at first I thought was an eel. As I hauled the creature in howovor, I found that It was a big watcrsnake. The reptile was ten feet long aud swollen iu the middlo to enormous dimensions. I promptly killed him, and found inside no fewer than two hundred and fifty-three trout which I emptied into a little pool.

"Is that a fish-story or a snake story?" asked the vice-grand exalted, liar, who then proceeded to say, "U.y story is a very short one. I borrowed an umbrella of Jones yesterday, when it was raining hard, but I returned it to bim this morning before he was up." "Well, it seems to be my turn," said the grand mendacious scribe. "As most of you know, I was married something like six mouths ago. When my wife and I went to housekeeping we had the fortune to obtain an ex cellent cook; and, gentlemen, al though we live fifteen miles in tbp country, that cook is with us'still." It is now your turn," said the picsidiug officer as ho turned to the applicant for membership, who stood up and began, r "Well gentlemen, the incident I ara about to nairate took place last week.

"That's ' enough!" they cried. "Proceed to balloting." He was elected unani mously. Her Pocket. Apropos of the difficulty even theiij fair owners experience iu locating ladies' pockets, an English paper tells; a story of a lady who, arrayed in By new frock, took a hansom the othetj day, and, ou alighting, hunted Vainly, for the entrance to a pocknt whero she had confidingly placed her purse. J Tho quest was so unduly prolonged; that at last her charioteer, who was nat a man of refinement, remarked from bis pprch: "Now, then marm,; when you've qulto done a-scratchia' of j your back will you pay me my fare?" A Camel's Vengeance. Camels havo a great share of Intel-? ligence, and tho Arabs assert that they' are so extremely sensible of injustice" aud ill-treatment that, when this is carried too far, the mfiicter will not find it easy to escape their vengeance, and that thoy will retain the remom-' branco of an injury till an opportunity offers for gratifying their revenge. Eager, however, to express their re- soutment, they no longer retain any rancor when once they are satisfied; and it is even sufficient for them to believe that they satisfied their vea- ' geanco. Accordingly when an Arab has excited the rago of a camel, he r throws down his garments tn some'' place near which the animal is to pass and disposes them in such a manner that they appear to cover a maa sleeping under them. The aaiBaal -recognizes the clothes, seizes them' la J his teeth, shakes them in violence-" and tramples on them in a rage'" Whcu his anger Is appeased he leaves them, and then the owner ot tke u& monts may make hi, appearaaee, aad without any fear may loadaadVdde him as ho pleases. ,t At ono' time a case of (very trlftia Impoitauce , which had weH-Wgh ran tho gauntlet legai adjudication, canie before .the sapremo eourtof Ver mont.
