Orrawa, Aug. 19.—A letter has been received at the Department of the Interior from Major Walsh, Administrator of the Yukon, in which he states that he is now on lis way out, having quitted Dawson on the 25th day of July. He was coming out by way of the passes, and should, therefore, be heard from as having reached the coastanyday now.

GOOD ROUTE T0 THE KLONDYKE

Known as the Ratienbury Route,

A GOOD TRADE IS NOW BEING DONE

The Lake Bennett and Klondike

Transportation Company

(Vancouver World.)

I’. M. Rattenbury, manager of the Lake Bennett and Kisndike Transportation Company, has returned, with Mrs. Eatten-~ bury, from what was really their honey-~ moon triptothe White Horse Rapids. He brought with him gold and drafis amounting to $20,000. Mr. Rattenbury re ports that he has five steamers running on the lakes, and arrangements have been effected for the Willie Irving to plvin

conjunction with their other four steamers. The company has contracted to carry 1,000 head

of cattle to Dawson frcm the Five Finger Rapids, and in order to carry out tais undertaking have secured the steamer belonging to J Knot, of Victoria. Messrs. A N Taylorand E Fearson, of that city, Mr. Rattenbury says, are the men who lost nearly 500 head of sheep from a scow on which tkey were taking them through Dawson. The accident has previously been chronicled, tut according to the story heretofore told two Seattle men were stated to be the losers.

When Mr. Rattenbury left the north eight days ego, his company had 206 head of pack animals on the trail, not earning of course anything like draught horses it. Dawson do, but in point of work doing a large businees. In Dawson, while a good horse can be purchase} for $75, $10 a day is paid for teaming. This goes to thow that ‘here is a great scarcity ot feed in that city andno one wishes to keep horses. During his short stay in the north, he mett and conversed with fully 120 people just out from the interior, These, generally speaking, told him on first acquaintance that there wasa good supply of every- thing in the way of provisions in Dawson, then be learned that nearly every man of the whole number was out toget a new stock of! provisions, and was going to re~ turn in afew monthe and afterwards he would be probably told that although there was nO prospects of a famine yet, there was a shortage of neariy all lines of goods. With these miners, Mr. Ratteabury says,be used what influence he coud in persuad- ing them to buy their outfits in Canada.

Mr. Rattenbury speaks of the Skagway railroad as a very substantial road. Solid stonework is being placed in the road- bed where great ravines, in some places 100 and 150 feet deep, have to be crossed. The road bed extende inland 13 or 14 miles to a place known as Porcupine Hill, and sur- veyers are outas far as Bennet.

Mr. Rattenbury confizms the report that his company intend building a light rail- way, some 39 miles, from Marsh Lake to the Hootalingua River, running their steamers for Dawson City from the Hoota~ linqua River terminus. By doing this the company will be able to run larger steamers, and they will also miss the White Horse Rapids and Miles Canyon. A survey has already been made of the route tor the railway,aud work will be commenced early pext spring.

MARITIME BOARD OF TRADE.

Immigration to Maritime Provinces —Preferential Trade With West Indies.

At the meeting of the Maritime Board of Trade, held in Truro, the question of im- migration to the Maritime Provinces was pretty fully diecussed, and a resolution was passed urging upon the Provincial and Dominion governments to take hold of the matter and provide reliable detailed infor- mation for circulation in Europe respect~ ing the advantages offered by the Maritime Provinces as a field for settlement. These provinces have contributed largely in mouey and men to the opening up and settlement of the Northwest,and are now entitled to some consideration at the hands of the Dominion Immigration authorities. Thie was the dominant tone of the discus- sion.

On the question of trade between Canada and the British West Indies and Guiana, resolution was passed endorsing the action of parlisment last session in giving these tropical colonies a tariff preference, and urging cultivation of that trade.
