There were( several Klondike parties on the same train and between them and the proverbial travel- ling baby we found it impossible to sleep.

However, we reached Calgary viithont accident on Sunday morning at 4 a. m.. April 17th, and were fortunate enough to secure accommodation at the Windsor Hotel and atfonce we were one and all under the blankets. After a late break- fast We attended our respective church- es.

Upon inquiry at the C. P. R. freight

and were driven to Athabasca Landing by two brothers named l/3all, natives ot' P. E. Ii-land. It cost $1.00 per cwt., and as we had three and a. half tous.

graiulaiing ourselves on our success* when We went plump on top of a. big rock. We were running 6 miles an hour at the time. Over board we all jun ped in water up to our waists andl shoved her off, but finding she leaked we i ad to land and repair damages. Striking a rock is a common occurrence as they are veiy numerous between Pelican and Giaud Rapids and the cur- rentiuns six miles an hour. ' We pass boats frequently hung up on rocks.even those having an Indian ‘guide on board.

lVe made the run of 46 miles to the

Grand Rapids in less than seven hours nd at the entrance tothe Rapids in rying l-o -avoid a stranded boat we truck again. Then overboard went all hands once more. A policeman on the bank remarked: “These men ~W.il.l, get. hrough all right, they are not afraid of

At 8 D. m. we had landed all our outfit on the Island ma- king ths quickest run of lluyklondyke party so far. Grand Rapids fpartake more of the nature of a cataract than a Rapid and are nothing but a seething. boilmg. ‘mass of water over rocks where it is impossible for a loaded boat to pass.

Here everyone has to carry his outfit

upon his hack for one mile. the length ofthe Island. This we succeeded in doing in one day which we consid- * dercd good work.

May 28th, we left Grand Rapids in company with twelvs boats, led by a - trad.-r named Connors who had an Indian guide on board. This man dis- play ed the greatest nerve when in danger we had ever seen. He piloted seven boats through without an acci- dent and the other five followed. We passed in succession Broule, Boiler, Drowned,Middle.Long.Crooked,Strong. Little Cascade, Big Cascade Rapids,

Here the boats have to be let down

with a line to the fall and then unloaded and dropped over a lidge 10 feet and reloaded. This is comparativelv easy as the ouitit has to be carriid only about titty feet. Then comes Mountain and last but not least Moberly Rapids and we pass on to Fort McMurray. This fort we left on the 4th of June and :had a good current if iour miles an hour and hot sun iight through to Athabasca Lake. We passed over the Like and had a strong northeily wind across, arriving at Fort Cliepewyau, June 6th. On leaving here we passed numerous islands and sand bars and into Stony River, which tiows into the Slave. This occupied two days as we met with a head current and had to depend upon the wind and oars but upon arriving at the junction of iha Slave and Peace rivers we strvck a six mile current and soon were making good way again io- wards _ Smithls Landing where we arrived June llth. '

Here we engaged ri pilot

named Sanderson to guide us across the rapids lying between Smith’s Landing and Fort. Smith. At this place we had to pack our outfit and portage our boatgfor one quarter of a mile as the rapids are very dangerous. l After making about six miles we had 1 another one quarter mE; portage and

selves at home. Our party stood it good and were the first dischared ` and over. Saturday we ca e to a one half mile portage and packed over what We thought the longest mile ever walked. \Ve all thought we had lost our Way, but our guide led us all right and by noon we had ruu our boat through a rapid where we madea descent of 2-L0 feet in 16 miles.

\Ve are all well, and if spared our

_ health and strength to reach Fort Simp- son will send a further account.

:Domestic Postage.

_ OTTAWA. September 15.-It is un- derstood that the postmaster~general has decided that it would be too risky an experiment to reduce the rate of domestic postage to two cents at the same time that the reduction wlhin the empire trom live cents to two cent-1 goes into effect. that is, on Christmas day. The letter postage for Caiisda. and the United States will therefore remain at three cents until the oostmaster-general has been able to judge what effect the two-cent rate within tae empire has on the revenue. After December 25 there will therefore, be three rates of 'postage on ._lelters, viz., |two cents for Great Britain and her c »lonies, three cents for Canada and the United States, and live cents for f-Jreig i countries.

The Church ol England,as an establishment, appears to be on its trial. There is a i strong movement against everything that savers of high church.
