Letter From a Friend in Skaguay.
Regular Mining Camp Life.
Thieving is Rife.
(Special Correspondence).
SEATTLE. April 10, 1S9S. The
Alaska rush has abated some now and
as a consequence many steamers which
have arrived here to take part in car
rying the crowds go to their destina
tions with a very few passengers. The
freight for northern points however,
is still very large and all available
space on steamers and ships has been
spoken for in advance for the next few
weeks.
From Mr. E. Hoppe who left here
for the eldorada and arrived at Dye a, I
received a letter of which following
extracts will perhaps be of interest:
"Having arrived at my destination
(Skaguay) at daylight, I looked for a
nlace to sleep, which I found at 'The
Kentucky Liquor House' which va
recommended to me as a good place
for a man of moderate means. I re
tired above the dance hall and then
listened to the pounding on the piano
and the squeaking of the violin mixet:
with the coarse singing.
"During the whole night, I heard no
thing but pistol shots, music, etc. The
next morning I had the luck to find a
former acquaintance of mine with
whom I obtained quarters.
"During the indescribable north
wind, which will go through the small
est crevice, I saw that the people
throw water on the roof and agains
the walls of houses. The water froze
immediately and as the wind canno
go through ice it became less unbear
able for the inhabitants of the nouses,
'Three miles north or Skaguay is
'Liarsville,' a very fitting name which
also might be well fitted for Skaguay,
Then comes Porcupine, the first, sec
ond and third bridge until at last you
reach the summit. Here it is that the
Canadian Government has her customs
offices.
"Of all the evils in Skaguay, the
postoffice is the worst as I and others
have waited three and half hours and
longer before receiving mail and a
times the office is closed for two and
three days.
"The saloon men, who are at the
same time the aristrocracy with the
gamblers, seem to be the master of the
situation. But everywhere, as also in
Skaguay there are people who stil
have lac nor and character.
"The cheating and outrages on the
wharf are something friglitful and
hardly describable largerin Dyea than
in Skaguay. If you leave the vesse
and step on the wharf it says -Two
bits please' and for every packag
'two bits.' For every ton of freight
which I had on the ship Lucile, I paid
$2.50 .wharfage. I had gone ahead on
.the aforesaid ship to sell my goods.
I had sold wheat and oats to a coun
tryman of mine and was loading it
upon a wagon when a friend called to
me, 'Come :here; a man here is load
ing all your hay on his wagon.' In
a minute, I was there and sure enough
the unknown had already fourteen
bales of my ih,ay on his wagon ana
was just getting ready to drive away
when I caught him. Immediately
asked him who gave him a right to
take away my hay. I called a few
people to the spot a,nd it was only
wit-h difficulty that I again came into
posession of my property. With my
lumber I had the same trouble. What
shall one do however, without courts
and without laws? One must always
be on the lookout and if you are not
you are liable to lose the shirt from
your back provided you still have one.
'Quite a few persons have returned
lately from the interior of Alaska and
report that about ten to twenty-five
million of dust will be brought from
Dawson and vicinity.'
Prince Duigi of Italy who it will be
remembered climbed to the summit of
Mount St. Ellias last year has fitted
out a large expedition for Alaska to
go to Kotzebu Sound. Mr. George
Sheehan Washington Bullian who a
vear asro lost a sum of money in a
robbery in Honolulu passed through
the city here recently from the Islands,
staying here long enough, to get a
thousand dollar outfit from some of
his friends.
There are several schooners and
ships already gone to St. Micheal
to be the first to go up the Yukon
by the all river route.
The next rush for Alaska is expected
when the all river route to the Yukon
can be used.
AUGUST TOELLNER.
An Artistic Chalk Plate.
As good a piece of chalk plate work
as could be produced in any country is
shown in the Advertiser this morning.
Harry Roberts reproduced the draw
ings of the "Department Trophies" by
the ordinary chalk plate process and
besides did the stereotyping and fin
ishing himself. The work is really
better than much of the "zinco" re
sults shown in papers in the United
States.
F-scape From Sickness.
Speaking on the matter of sickness
in this city, one of the promnient phy
sicians said yesterday: "The people of
Honolulu may thank their luck- stars
that there has been as little sickness
as there has. Fortune seems to h-iv
smiled kindly on the place. After the
recent rain storm the weather did
not clear up right away but continued
cloudy for several days. Slight rains
were also prevalent. Had the sun come
out brightly immediately after the
heavy rains, there is no doubt what
ever that there would have been a
great deal more sickness in the city.
The few days cloudy and slightly rainy
weather was the only thing that saved
A Good Selection.
It was given out at the Executive
Building yesterday that Geo. W. Smith
of Benson. Smith & Co. Ltd.. had been
asked to nil tne existing vacancy m
the Board of Health. If Mr. Smith ac-
cept
.3 he will prove a valuable addi-
tion
to tins important ooay. .ir.
Smith has been in business in Ilono-

terms he has been active as a Queen's
Hospital trustee, has been a member of
the Council of State and has performed
in a highly satisfactory manner, much
other public service. Mr. Smith has
yet to hold his first salaried commis
sion. At present he is a member of the
Educational Commission and has been
a working factor with -his "colleagues.
If Mr. Smith goes to the Board of
Health there will be a vacancy on the
Educational Commission. The matter
will be settled in a day or two.
Liht Needed.
People who are in the habit of going
down along by Brewrer's wharf at night
'time, are complaining about the piles
of pipe that are now strewn about,
from the wharf mentioned, almost to
Queen street. At 'night time no lights
are put out to warn the people and the
pipes lie ithere as a constant menace to
those who (happen to pass that way. It
is particularly dangerous to people who
use wheels.
GIVE YOURSELF "WEIGHT.
Don't give yourself away by accept
ing any of the inferior brands of beer.
Be onto yourself and insist on getting
"Rainier" and you will be looked upon
as being intelligent and up-to-date,
especially if you patronize the Favor
ite Saloon.
W. M. Cunningham, Proprieor of
this well-known resort, has been in
the business tor many years, ana is a
connoisseur in liquors. His establish
ment is always orderly, and, with the
services of his assistant, Mr. Thomp
son, customers are promptly supplied.
One
Tells
Another.

And so the news spreads and spreads.
Housekeepers all around are talking of
the fine quality of goods bought at our
Grocery Department. As the news
spreads, so our groceries spread all
over the city, from Waikiki to Palama;
from the wharf to 'way up the valley.
There is only one conclusion to be
drawn, and that is: that the quality of
goods must be right not only that,
but the prices are right, the attention
is right, and the goods are in the right
condition.
Everyone knows of the American
Biscuit Company and the class of goods
they make. The following are a few
of the many styles of crackers that
we carry: Graham Wafer, Honey, Pop
ular, Oyster, Cheese, Noah's Ark Ani-

SUGAR.
This is cne of the few things that
does not require much mention. Suffice
it to say that we have an ample supply
of Dry Granulated, Cube, Powdered,
and Confectioners'.
t n
CANNED FRUITS.
In buying these goods you cannot
be too careful; many people have ex
perienced rather disastrous results from
buying cheaD trash, nut up in tin. We
can vouch for the brands we earn. In
the Cooking Fruits, we have a full as
sortment m gallon cans, very7 econo
mical when a larger amount is requir
ed. The Table Fruits have the best
known brands in the market, put up
in two and a half pound tins, and a
smaller size known as the lunch tins
for campers and picnicers.
