Wednesday. Feckcary I, 1899.
fzditors Kat.
We were pleased to accept an invita
tion to dine v.itii Chief Steward San
ders on theCity of Topeka while she
lay nt the wharf in Juneau last Monday,
evening. Our 15ro. Beddoe was also
present to partake of the many good
thing- that were spread before us, and
which has made that boat and her,
steward so popular in all Alaskan wa
ters. We have often wondered where
the editor of tin Miner got his strength
to write those heavv editorials and we
discovered the secret. It is by and
through his appetite, upon which he he
stows much time.
The Taku Trail.
A number of parties have rocentlv
t * i
gone in to Atlin over the new Taku
trail and returned by the same route,
and they pronounce it the best and
mo*t convenient way of getting into
the new placer grounds. That this new
route, when U-tter known, will become
the favorite wrv of reaching the new
gold digging- there is no question. Of
course Sknguav and the Seattle papers
will continue to l>nnm tin- old trail, but
as time advances the truth will become
knows j.
The Sound cities cannot hold the
outfitting trade against the Alaska
merchants much longer. The loss of
outfits by the sinking of boats between
this and Seattle has lx>eu heavy, aud it
is about time that those going iuto tlx*
interior should learn that they can
outfit as cheap at Douglas Island or
Jumau as in tin Sound cities.
