THREE AND A HALF TONS OF GOLD

president of the Juneau chamber OF
commerce, is in the city. He says that
the Canadian government mas scored

The order making Dyea a SUPPORT -
said Mr.. CasseIl, means a loss 10 Amer
lean merchants of over half a million
dollars, and before the summers rush 10
Alaska is over, the loss will foot up to
fully million. The American prospect
ors discovered the gold and the great
finds would have remained undiscovered
by the Canadians, yet they have put a
vicious tax on the miners and our gov
ernment established a SUPPORT of entry
to favor their merchants and miners.
Thousands Of Canadians today land at
Dyea and with their provisions and out
fits which come from a foreign country,
go through the United States without
one word of interference from Ameri-
cans. l know of one case where an
American with s475 worth of cigars was
called upon by Canadian officials to pay
$500 Of tax. This SUPPORT order should
be rescinded and the Canadians COMPEL

continued let Canada agree with Amer

Shipper, of the Lancaster mills, did
not like the methods the man used,
and thought he was meddling too
much with his operatives, so on

the superintendent was informed that
the man had returned and was then
in one of the cottages on the hill. Ac-
companied by one or two Of the mill
employees, he went over and got the
man, and taking him to the creek,
they proceeded to administer the
promised ducking, after telling him to
remove from his pockets anything that
the water might injure. When the
man crawled out on the bank he was
again told to leave and warned not to
return under the same penalty as be.
