shows three freight trains a day be

are shown on the card. Now trains of
sixty to eighty cars are run between

trains of from eighteen to thirty cars
were run between Lincoln and I'latts

TiilO'.lgll the clierget ic uol '. of some
of our enterprising merchants, a sub
scription list has horn circulated
imong the other business nun, and
the funds raised to provide for a twenty-live
cent round trip rate on the fer
ry to the farmers desiring to market
their product at riattsmouth.
Many of the fanners who reside
across the river on the Iowa bottoms
hae expressed their desire to t rade at
I'lattsmouth, but on account of the
fifty cent ferry rate that existed they
wore nut able to do so, to their emolu
ment. In order to secure this trade
which embraces a section about live
miles wide and eight miles long, the
proposition was advanced some time
ago, tnat the merchants or this city
organize and enter Into an agreement
or contract with the ferry man, Mr.
O'Neill, so that he would carry the
farmers and their produce for twenty-
live cents per round trip. Now the
Iowa farmer, may bring Ins family
and produce to this city and on pay
ing fifty cents, gets a rebate for t wen-ty-livo
cents, which can i.e cashed at
any bank or business house In town,
and can return home with the cash or
merchandise, just as he desires.
The river road to the ferry of which
we made mention as being In bad con
dition, was inspected by the county
commissioners, Mayor Goring and
Street Commissioner Janda, and the
county board have signified their In
tention of appropriating a sum to be
added to that raised by the merchants
tndso the road will be repaired at
once culverts being placed and grad
ing done In the required sections of the
road, in order that heavy loads may hi
hauled over them by the farmers.

re cry iinniei'ous:sonie of t he gravel
li irs were very haul to pull nor. The
i icr was very shallow, ami in some
places t Ic Ice was very I bin. W e had
to break t lie Ice ami drag t he sled
through on the gravel. We reached
t Ic inout 1 1 of the Delta at one o'clock,
and are slaying tonight: at McCarthy's
roa I house on theTanana river.
Sunday, March 2"i.
We left McCarthy's mad house this
morning at, live o'clock and started
down the Tanana river. For a while
the trail wns In the tliulierand slouglis.
The trail was pret ty bad in some places
on the slouglis, as there was some Ice
but not enough to bear the horse's
weight, which made it, hard pulling
the sled through Urn water, breaking
the Ice as wo drove along. Finally
wi! drove out on the river, but there
had been fresh snows and t lie trail was
ver.y heavy and we had a hard pull all
day. At one o'clock we camped at, Joe
Henry's road house and ate our lunch.
Wo only bad twelve miles to make
I his afternoon, and we readied the
"Little Delta" road house at iiilin p.
m.
The Tanana river is not a very large
stream, but much larger than the Illg
Delta river; but like It, It, has wide
gravel bars, although we wore not,
bothered with them or overllows to
day. When we reached here tonight,
1 found several other mushors who had
loft me several days ago, all of them
hobbling around with sore feotor lame
ankles of some kind. One of the swift
est of them got so lame he couldn't
walk, and, like myself, he found a ride
the rest of the way In.
Monday, March 2H.
This morning we found the t rail
very heavy, owing to the fresh snow
which had blown some and drifted the,
trail full. During the day we met
many horse and dog teams taking loads
of provisions up the river to the vari
ous creeks and places where the miners
wished to prospect. At noon we
stopped and ate our lunch at Bcchol'
road house. The place seemed to m
pretty well tilled with Indians and
dogs, one was just as curious as the
other. Tonight we are camped at the
I'ile-driver road house.
Tuesday. March 27.
At ;::!() this morning we left the
I'iledrlver road house and started out
on the last day of our journey.
The Tanana valley has by this time
widened out to be a very broad valley,
but very low and level and somewhat
swampy. About twenty miles before
we reached Fairbanks, the trail left
the river and led through the. timber
the rest of the way, but still followed
the river until we got within four
miles of town, then the trail came In
a direct line north into Fairbanks, ar
riving here about live o'clock.
Fairbanks Is a thriving mining town
of about three thousand inhabitants,
and situated on a slough which opens
out Into the Tanana river, but It is
several miles distance from any of the
mining creeks and Is more of a supply
centre for the miners and surrounding
country. It boasts of a railroad which
runs from here to Chena and then
branches off toGllmore. It is a narrow
gage and about thirty miles long. The
distance from here to Yaldcz is about
three hundred and ninty miles. To
some the scenery along the trail might
be very tiresome, but tome it was like
the unrolling of one great and ever
changing picture. To some few who
mush or walk through the trip is very
easy. But to me and a great many
others that I have seen, the trip was
very hard, and I for one, don't care to
undertake It again soon.'
