Show Newspapers Came High. When Cy Warman, "the poet of tho rail," was traveling through Bonanza Valloy, near Dawson City, a short time after tho discovery of gold In the Klondike, he passed a young man with a heavy pack of papers on his back. Somo men wcro working their claims near by, up on tho slopes of tho hills. "Now and then," said Cy Wnrman, "tho young fellow stopped, put his hand to tho side of his mouth, and shouted up to tho men 'N'Yor-r-k 'n S'attlo papers!' In orthodox newsboy stylo. "I asked him how ho sold them. 'Fifty cents for Soattlo an' a dollar for Now York,' ho replied. Ho had two hundred papers, and oxpected to clear a hundred dollars on tho trip, which would tako him threo days." |
