FROM IHE HEART OF AF«
10IHE MIMIR KLONOIKE
(Dawson News.)
Joseph Aloe, of Piedmont, Italy,
who arrived In Dawson 011 tho last
trip of the steamer WUiiohorge, al
ter traveling half way round the
world to participate in tho winding
up ol the estate of his uncle, Joan
Vaglio Bianco, foriurley proprietor
of tho Central Hotol of this city,
is a traveler and mau of no littlo ex
perience. In coiuing to Dawson he
made a much longer leap, in fact,
than from sunny Italy. He came
from a point in the heart of Africa,
close to .Lake Victoria Nyauza, a lit
tle abovo tho equator, where he
has been in ch.'irge of a division of
the construction work on tho fam
ous Cape-to-Cairo railway.
"The Cape-io-Cairo railway/' says
Mr. Aloe, "will be finished in four
or five years. The northern end of
construction bc-gan at Alexandria,
and has been extended southward
along the Nile, making short cuts at
times across the desert.
"Oue place, very mountainous, is
not being built now aud may not bo
constructed for years. That is a
short stretch along the Nile, where
the traffic is handled by steamers.
The road already is far south of
that point. Whan traversing desert
the road often is built 011 piling, to
get away from tho awful drifting.
Many miles of the road are on high
ly elevated grides, also designed to
escapo the drifts. Often the drift
ing sand almjst buried the roads.
.Many places the piles are as high
as some of tho tallest houses in
Dawson. Fences are used 10 some
extent to hold the sand back. Noth
ing like sheds has been attempted.
The labor employed on the road 1
all native, that if, from Egypt aud
elsewhere aI0113 the route traversed.
Practically all laborers r.r? Arabs.
;ind every morning they fall to their
knees at sunrise to worship Allah.
They rise and continue praying, and
when still walking about in prayer
ful attitude, they are keeping their
eves wide open to see what they
can steal.
"I have charge of something like
150 men, and this body is divided in
to groups of thirty, with an over
seer for each. Each toss carries
i long black-snake or cat-o'ninc tail
and w hen the work lags, lie touches
up the sluggards tho same as a
driver in this country lays the whip
on the dogs, or the lazy mule3. Ot"
course, the practice of using the
whip to acceierato huinn 11 toilers
has obtained in countries iu Eur
ope aud even 011 this continent in
I times past, but such would not be
thought of in such places toduv, and
no white man would submit to the
system. But it is different with the
Arabs. They make no particular
objection to oeing reminded at th
end of the lash.
"However, there are brigands in
the country, w ho neither tcil nor
spin and we plways have to be on
guard against them. We call them
addendos. The; are likely tajwoop
down on a camo at any-time, a:id at
tempt to murder and pilfer. We
dare not sleep an hour without a
1 guard. I always keep a guard at
my tent or cab'u door, and never en
trust a man o* the immediate re
gion with the task. It is necessary
to take a native from some distant
part of Afrlcr.. He will bo trust
worthy, because tbo local tribes
always look on a strange African as
an enemy, and will not make his ac
quaiutuce. So the strange African,
in order not to be left friendless
and abondoned in a strange country,
is loyal to the white master or cm
lo.ver. They would kill a man for
five cents. 5
Laborers there are paid 25 to 30
cents a day, and board themselves;
quite a difference from $4 to $5 a
day and board, paid laborers in
Klondike. All bosses and engineers
are whites. Eight hours is a day's
work.
"A branch line of the Cape-to
Cairo runs to Port Soudan, on the
lied sea. The French and the Ital
u.s each are building great trunk
railways across Abyssinia, end head
ing from the southern end of the
Red Sea toward the great lakes and
rich lands of central Africa."
Mr. Aloe is a resident of Pied
mont, Italy, and spends part of each
.'.ir studying in European tech
nical schools. His mother is a sis
ter to the late John Vaglio Bianco,
of Dawsou,, who, with his wife and
two daughters, was murdered here
by Mrs. Bianco's brother, Eugene
Vaglio I'inti, who also took his own
life. "Vaglio" is used in the names
of both families, and is the name of
the town from which they hailed.
The true respictive family names ar
Bianco and Piuti. A special mass
was held at S.. Mary's church this
morning for thj souls of the depart
ed. '
Mr. Aloa has b#>en hero arranging
to get tue ou<» half of the estate
which goes to rho Bianco side. It
is shared between -Mr. Aloe's moth
er and a brother living in Loire, J
France. The other half went to Mr?

two brothers, one of whom has died
since the tragedy, thus leaving the
entire half to the other brother, wh
came here shortly, after the tragedy
He wont outside for a time, but re
turned aud Is now here.
Mr. Aloe will leave on the next
stage for the return to Itlay, and
later will go to his work on the
railway in Africa.
REI) TABLE CT.OTH
EN ItAti ED THE "BULLS"
There was a strange occurrence
down at a Vnldez cafe the other
day while a jury were seated around
a table *"!tli a red cloth on it, when
all at once three different mem
bers of the jury commenced to
scrape their ff.et on the floor and
shake their' * cads in a. most threat
ening manner. The waiters wore
their most pleasing smile and did
everything to entertain them and
lo ascertain what caused their dis
comfiture. Finally, one of them I
"bellowed" out that he did not like
the cloth on the table. Then it
dnwued upon the proprietor that the
thro© were ex-deputy marshals, or
guards, and that the color of the
cloth enraged them. The cloth was
changed to a white one and the
"bulls" brain-storm subsided.—Val

F. Si. GANTY, GROCER
"The lure of the north", what an
intangible and incomprehensible feel
ing, but experienced by all who have
ever lived hero for any length of
time and then gone back from
whence they came expecting to en
joy in luxury and ease the fortunes
that had been wrested, through hard
ships and unceasing toil, from the
frozen bosom of the earth, or per
haps in other, but no loss arduous,
pursuits.
In the early days of the Klon
dike excitement John Couta and
his brother came north, located in
the then flourishing city of Dawson
and established the pioneer dairy
business of that section. By close
attention to their work in a few
years they had amassed a compet
ency. They sold out their holdings
in Dawson and turned their faces
toward tho outside. John Conta
bought a hotel business in Van
couver, B. C., where he is at pres
ent doing well while his brother
left for his home in the old country.
John Conta was well contented
with his surrounds and prospects
in Vancouver until news of the
Chisana strike reached the outside
and changed his peaceful dreams in-'
'to a rostles3 longing for the wilds
of the north.
He had a friend in Vancouver, a
building contractor named E. Vag
, and after many conferences be
tween the 'wo, it was decided that
Vaglio should visit the north and
gather all the information he could
in relation to the new country
which is being opened up.
Yesterday Mr. Yaglio reached
Skagway after a six weeks' visit
through the interior, and is en
thusiastic over the outlook.
The result will be that early in
the new year, as soon as the snow
has disappeared, Conta and him
self will accompany the shipment of
a band of from 100 to 150 cattle to
the new diggings.
Mr. Vaglio says that it is his
opinion, from what he could learn,
that the Whitehcrse Kluane route is
the only one to take with a drove
of stock, as ;in the early spring
there is an abundance of the fin
est kind of feed, water at short in
tervals and wood alongside the
trail for the entire distance, and
what is probably of as great im
portance, there are no glaciers or
snow-covered mountain ranges to
cross to reach their destination.
