Troops to Alaska Ordered After Cabinet Discussion
Washington dispatch reports a September 22 cabinet meeting agreeing to dispatch a company of infantry to St Michael s Alaska to preserve order for winter. Secretary Alger issued orders for 25 infantrymen from Fort D A Russell to sail within a week, likely from Seattle, with Lt Col Randall leading. Estimates suggest 5 000 laborers in the mining region and 2 000 must flee before Yukon freezes to avoid starvation. Provisions can land 8 000 at Circle City and Dawson City as Yukon transport strains. Alongside, a local Eldora Township event in Iowa Falls advertises a Congregational church convention on Saturday Sept 25 1897.
