SEVERAL THINGS.

Whenever and wherever you see an
old soldier you see an enthusiastic Evans
man. 1t is wonderful how the trials
and tribulations and memories of war
days remain fresh in their memories, and
withwhat strong ties they are BOUND to
gether Time isifast frostlng their locks,
and it seems that the nearer they APP
proach the path that leads cover the
river the CLOSER are they drawn to each
other General Evans has nothing to
fear at the hands of his old comrades.
His cause is their cause.
AS regularly as the years roll by the
Gypsies come and go. Several bands
have camped near Dawson this season,
and, as usual, have made number CT
horse trades. They will dispose of any
thing they have, and always seem to
come out ahead. They are peculiar
people, and seem to enjoy life, roaming
around over the world
49,
The Athen@um, the only public library
and literary organization in the city, is
in bad way financially, and unless
assistance is given it the rooms will be
closed and the association disbanded.
The Athen@um is one of the best insti-
buttons the city has ever had, and, prop
erly supported, would be source of
much pleasure and do vast amount of
good, especially among the young peo-
Pile. This being true, why not rally to
its aid and save to the city an institution
that does credit to its intelligence and
refinement?
Don't be a croaker. If you like your
town and it's people, pull with them, en-
courage them, and help them to build it
up. Don't try to make them believe
that some other town and other people
are smarter and better than they are. If
you don't like your town and people,
move off and leave them; and the sooner
you move the better. Don't be croak-
er.
Verify the guano season is upon us.
It's fragrant (O odor scatters to the
four winds as the farmers haul it to
their plantations. A number of car
loads have been received already. How
ever, so much of it is not used as form
erly.

Throwing Dice Tor Gold Mime worth
Half Million.
Samuel |. Silyerman and Dick Sher-
wood each owned halt interest in
valuable gold mine in Okanogan county,
says the Spokane Review. They decided
Saturday that there wasn't room for two
in its management and hit upon a true
western expedient for settling their bust
ness difficulties. But they didn't call
for pistols for two with coffee for one or
go out on the open greensward behind
the hotel and fight with bowie knives.
There was quicker way than thai, and
