the exception that * Postal Inspector
Mellisk, vbowitliio t' member of the
party, ia transporting some of 'the lug
gage, fell through (the ice and bad a
narrow escape.
The government, Mr/ Gala dealarea,
should certainly spend a few hundred
dollars in erecting cabins and making
some sort of an easier trail over the
different portages, ill is these little
things, he says, that would help-in the
development of Aiaska. This stretch
of the country, particularly, being the
shortest distance between the two
great rivers of Alaska, and subject to
considerable travel, is entitled to the
expenditure of * small sum of monsy
for tbs convenience -of travelers.
Declaring they are thoroughly en
joying their first trip into Alaska, and
especially their few days’ visit in To
kotoa, Mr. and Mrs. Gale, in company
with Postal .Inspector Mellish, will,
with saddled mounts, probably leave
tomorrow for Flat, being accompanied
on the trip by Pilot Thomas Shallow.
