there will be any immediate cha-ge in
the rate nor does it indicate a cessation
of the traffic. The change is made for
the reason that the trail to Dawson is
getting hard and transportation more
expensive It is also to provide against
loss in case of a sudden change of the
trail for the worse, which is likely to
take p'ace at any time.
