A. B. PALMER AT DAW SON,
Shortage ef Grub the Cause ofa Panic,
(From the Everett News, Washington)
Percy Palmer received this veek the following letter from bis brother, A. B. dated at Dawson October 4:
This is the first opportunity I have had to send out @ letterto inform vou of my safe arrival. Llarrived the 27th ef Sep- tember, aftera rough avd tedious trip. Was fortunate in bringing my entire out- fii,asa@ panic prevails here on account of the scarcity of provisions. It indeed looks ser.ous, as the river is about frozen up and onty two boats came up here, with very little grub. They claimed that the peop'e at Circle City took most of the grub off the boats by force.
W hat the outcome would beis bard to conjecture at the present time. The company claims that they can freight grab up from Fort Yukon, a distance of 470 miles, on the ice with dog teams this winter, but I do nat eee where they can get enough dogs. Flour readily sells at $100 per sack. I bréught nine sacks with me.
Lon Griffin’s outfit has arrived; Sandy Morrison and wife, also Boyce boys, of Snohomish, Ed Mallett, Hodgine, Fritz, Getchell and Billy Emerson. Am afraid the Hagan and McRee outfit will get caught at the lakes, that is to judge from the opinion of late arrivals; they could not possibly get away from Lake Bennett before the 25th of September, which wou'd run them into ice on the Yukor, but they may get close enough ‘o come in on sleighs thas winter.
While I write a big raft of dressed beef came down the river in the drift ice. To save it from passing down, the people secured a long rope and gota line out te pull it in; is sells at $1.50 a pound readily. A big steer wil! retail out at from 1,200 to 1.500 dollars. What do you think of that? Fortunes will be made in bringing in cattle this fall. The suffering and anxiety on account of the scarcity of grub is intense. People who havethoughtlessly came in without provisions will have to go out on the ice to Fort Yukon and _ winter there. The McGraw outfit are wintering at the mouth of the river; some have gone back toSeattle. Mrs. Barnes had to go back; her husband is going out for the winter. He ie in a fair way to make some money, at least he owns a half interest in a fair claim.
I have not had time yet to get thoroughly acquainted with the country here. Have met quite s aumber from Snohomish
