The party of which Mr. Brink was a me'mber, started into the great Northwest Territory by the Edmonton overland route. He says they left that point with nine head of.horses, three bob sleighs and provisions to last a year. They traveled that way for 700 miles on land and rivers and found traveling on the ice very dangerous at times. They finally arrived at fort St. Johns, an old Hudson Bay trading post and that was as far as they could get with their sleighs. , "From there," Mr. Brink says, "we started packing with our horses and what we couldn't pack we took in a large boat up the river (what river he does not state)and you can bet we had a hard lime of it. It took us about three months to get up to another anoth-er place called Fort Graham. At times we worked ,in water waist deep. No one can form an idea of the hardships one has to put up with on a trip of that kind who has not tackled it. We prospected a great many streams on our way up, but found no gold in paying quantities. At some points we could make from $1 to $2 a day per man, but that would not pay in that country. I think the Klondike is a fake from beginning begin-ning to end. A great many people went in the same way we did and quite a number are going to stay there this winter, though some of them have less than six months provisions on hand. These people expect to push on in the spring, but I should hate to be in their place. They have about eight months' winter there with only about four hours daylight. "I tell you, we were mighty glad to get back to where we could see a railroad once more and have something good to eat. "Give my, best, regards tq. all inquiring friends and let me hear from you soon." Jupiter Property Management Building PC.

The goal set was 100,000 kitsThis means 100,000 children have received or will receive warm and wearable clothing through the efforts of the Girl Scouts of the United States. Many people in Park City have given freely and generously to this Girl Scout project. The Girl Scouts collected the clothing and from their troop funds bought new articles of clothing, pins, needles and thread. The Girl Scout association associa-tion added other items that were needed. Girl Scout leaders renovated, reno-vated, sorted And packed these garments. Sorting meant putting clothes into various age groups. Kits sent included: Two complete com-plete baby layettes, three kits for babies one to three, six kits for boys and girls age six to eight, four kits for girls and boys age 10 to 14, one kit of shoes 16 kits in all. These were mailed to the nearest mailing point, Pasadena, Calif. The total cost of postage was $5.91 with overseas postage $8. For each clothing kit sent, 50 cents was mailed to the American Ameri-can Friends committee. This money pays part of the cost of shipping and distributing the clothing. In other words this pays part of the cost from the time the kit is mailed until it is placed in the hands of the child who needs the clothing. The American Friends Service committee overseas over-seas staff takes full responsibility for distributing the clothes. The Girl Scout leaders wish to express their appreciation to Dr. Laffoon, to Welsh, Driscoll & Buck's for generous help, also to other merchants and to the NuWay Cleaners, who so generously gener-ously donated their services. 25 Years Ago Dolly's Bookstore opens Yes, indeed, there is something some-thing new under the Park City .sun. "Dolly's" opened last week at 586 Main Street. A new boutique bou-tique concept, "Dolly's offers res Contact: ' , :rp-V'- Michael Sloan (435)649-4550, ext 108 W''ffV CandaceKuhn (435)649-4550, ext 101 f VC, jl idents and tourists alike a personalized per-sonalized selection of latest fashions fash-ions for men and women, a quality qual-ity bookstore, and objects of art emphasizing the American West" "Dolly's" is the dream-com-true of its owner, Dolly Makoff Crooks, who, after more than 20 years of being associated with women's fashion, decided to open a shop of her own. "I've always loved Park City," Dolly admits, "and when 1 was developing the idea for my own shop, I felt Park City was a place where I could do what I wanted to do and live where I wanted to live." With her background as an English major in college, the idea of including a bookstore was a natural addition. . It developed under the invaluable invalu-able work of Julie Bertagnole, claims Dolly. "Julie read catalogs until her eyes actually bled. Without With-out her, I couldn't have done it." The emphasis on Western-oriented books and objects of art also grew naturally. 'T was born in the town of Mercur," Dolly points out, "and spent my first years living in a mining camp. Later, when I went back to college, I realized what a rich western heritage I have. To my realization was added the knowledge of my teachers, and they opened up a whole new world for me." Dolly's world is what "Dolly's" is all about. From the decor, superbly designed by Steve Parker, Park-er, to the chain-suspended fashions, fash-ions, "Dolly's" radiates the same grace, beauty and charm as its owner. She is proud of her achievement, and well she should be, as her boutique would be an asset to any community. Park City is indeed fortunate to have her as a resident, and "Dolly's" as a vital spark to the business community. com-munity. 10 Year Ago Goal is to save houses by Heidi West A public hearing on a plan to allow commercial development of Park Avenue and other sections sec-tions of the historic district garnered gar-nered three speakers Thursday Dec. 1. " S The ordinance would allow (SlfWih QDiieui Sunpeak Area low-intensity commercial uses such as art galleries, offices, boutiques bou-tiques and perhaps restaurants if the applicants are able to meet a variety of criteria. Its purpose, according to planner Nora Sel-tenrich, Sel-tenrich, is to spur the owners of homes in the area to renovate them rather than tear them down or allow them to deteriorate. If the ordinance is passed, owners will be encouraged to fix them up because they will be able to run a viable business, she said. "Even if two or three houses get saved and renovated, that's two or three ahead of where we are now," Seltenrich said. Bonnie Deffebach, a local artist and property owner on Park Avenue, was the first to speak at Thursday's hearing. She told council members it was her "dream to see Park Avenue become an artists' colony," and added she didn't want "to see it destroyed by rentals." - Allowing the option of commercial com-mercial development on Park Avenue was a good idea, she said, because it would help in keeping traffic off Main Street. "With our seasonal traffic, we just can't afford to have all our art on Main Street," said Deffebach. Deffebach said she had tried to fix up the homes she owned on Park Avenue because she was "trying to keep the ambiance of Old Town. Once that ambiance is gone, no Disneyland is going to restore it," she said. Main Street store owner Charles Latterner said he thought it was "hard to argue" with Deffebach's points, but noted he was concerned with "protecting residents uphill" from Park Avenue. If the council allowed commercial development develop-ment on one street up from Main Street, a future council might allow it on the west side of Park Avenue, then Woodside, then Norfolk, etc. he said. "If you make it easier for little things to happen, it's not long before big things happen," said Latterner. The Park City Planning Commission, Com-mission, which held a hearing on the same issue Nov. 16, is scheduled sched-uled to discuss it and make a recommendation rec-ommendation to the" council at their next meetijig. The' council j will then discuss it in formal session, ses-sion, probably at its Dec. 15 FOR Mil 710 Main St. nthe Marriott Main St Plaza 045mm3Q44 good with other coupon offers.)
