PROPOSED SALOON
ON EUREKA CREEK
Correspondent is Willing to
Take Clianc s- -Possible
Bem'lit.
Eurkka Creek, Rampart District,
April 7, 1905.
Editor Yukon Valley News.
Dear Sir: As I see some of the
ladies on this side of the divide are
somewhat alarmed at the prospect
cf a saloon being located on Eureka
creek, and as they say the neigh
Injrhood has always been a very>
pure and wholesome place to live1
in, and as I see no danger in a
moral sense or otherwise, I would
like to say a few words in lavor ot1
any enterprise that tends to make j
this a central point. I, for one,
and every other member of my
family are willing to take the risk j
in exchange for the advantage ot
having better communication with
town, which we are bound to have, j
Last summer we had to go to Glen j
to send our letters to town, and un
•s some ot the cteeks do some
■ ;.ing the coming summer will find
ns packing them to Rampart to
post them, as there will he no cen
tral point. For my \ art, owing to
the fact that a saloon was conducted
on Glen until it had to be aban
doned for lack of pat onage, I
should think the man who starts
the business is the man who takes
the risk. I am sure that if any
lady should wish to bar her hus
band from drinking Mr. Heeter will
grant her request and he will not
get a diop of liquor in bis place;
and as tt r Mr. E. T. Townsend,
who has expressed great fear of
evil springing from that source, I
think 1 can relieve his anxiety. . .

Mr. Chilson’s Garden
of Twofold Purpose
('.eo. W. Chilson, of St Andrew’s |
Missioi , lias bought from P. J. j
Folboeuf tlie fine garden site on
Rampart creek. The Folboeuf plat
and the mission grounds have
been thoroughly fertilized and were
plowed the first of the week by
Frank Smith. F. C. Henry will
h ok after the gardening operations.
All kinds of garden truck will be
raised, but potatoes are to be the
predominant crop. No grain will
he planted.
While the product of these two
fine plats will be offered for sale,
Mr Chilson’s primary object is to
give the Indians an object lesson in |
a line of industry that will be of
immense benefit to them if they
take advantage of it.
Trolleys will be constructed from
Rampart creek to the grounds, so
that if irrigation becomes necessary
the crops may be watered without:
a great deal of labor.
Mr. Folboeuf had about fifty
pounds of Seed potatoes of his own
raising, which Mr Chilson secured;
the balance will be taken from such
stcck as may come on early boats. I
Folboeiif to Go Out.
I*. J. Folboeuf has t>een a model
of perseverence and industry. Of
late poor health has unfitted him
for so much hard work, however,
and a restricted market and close
competition gave little promise for
remunerative gardening; so he has
concluded to go outside.

Dr. C. II. Gibbons will return
to the other side of the divide to- j
morrow and will operate his prop
erty on What Cheer Bar.
