DANCEHOUSES AND
ALL-NIGHT SALOONS
BARRED AT DAWSON

SEATTLE, Dec. 2S.-The robbery of
Niger Jim the robbery on the
trail, the recent story that whisky and
billiard balls were brought up the
river by the last small steamer in
stead of provisions, have been recog-
nized by the police as giving Dawson,
with its wide-open dancehouses, a
name not likely to promote
the good reputation of it's camp,
and an edict has been promul-
gated, it is said by parties who have
come over the trail since the large
party arrived at Dyea, by the police
that the dance houses and alI-night
business of saloons must close. This
will make of Dawson the most unique
mining camp in the world. 1t is con-
sidered that this will not injure the
camp, for the reason that as there is
plenty of gold there will also be plenty
of men to follow.

Atkinson of San Francisco, Carl M. zoe
and Harry Racer of Seattle and ). H.
Arnew OF Tilburg, Ont, was in the ice
at the time at the upper end of kIonolAe
City, just across the Klondike.
Black and Atkinson, owners OF the
boat, reached shore with a rope. Inc
bank at that place is very steep, blutI
running out to the water. 1t was a dark
night, and they found great difficulty In
making their way. Atkinson climbed up
the face of the cliff with rope to fasten
it about a rock. He had scarcely sue
ceeded when the ice began to move. Inc
rock was pulled from it's place and fell.
Atkinson caught in the branches of
tree, ten feet below, and hung there for
more than an hour until his cries had at
tracted the attention of the people on
the shore, and he made them understand
his predicament. They climbed the hill
from the shore side, lowered 300 feet of
rope and hauled him up the face of the
cliff, and all this in the darkness of
night.
Black had not succeeded in reaching
shore, and nearly all this time he was
crawling on his hands and knees over the
broken ice near shore that every moment
Threatened to go out, falling through the
CAKES. tAot might or might not, 80 far as
he could tell, have the deep water of the
river beneath them. He also was finally
rescued from the shore.
IN the Aeant.me, the boat and the three
men in it moved down nearly a mile and
stopped opposite the Gold Commissioner S
office in Dawson. 1t was then 4 o'clock
in the morning. At about o'clock, al
though it was still dark they were dis

men tore the lumber from a pile in front
of the sawmill and made a roadway with
II, by which the men not only got ashore,
but brought their two tons of goods with
them. AS the last sack of flour was
taken out the ice broke away and carried
the boat down the river another mile,
leaving the plank roadway behind.
A wide-open space of clear water was
thus left in front of the lower end of
town. From this, as the temperature
dropped to 20 degrees below zero, a mist
arose as thick and dark as the smoke of
a great confagration, shrouding COM
pletely all the wreckage that lay beyond
II.
Ed Lord, barkeeper for Jimmy
KERRY, was arrested this morning
charged with the robbery of Keery's
saloon in which Niger" Jim lost $4,000.
A fellow named Curley Judd was ar
rested with Lord on the same charge.
A miner named Pat Maloney, who has
been drinking in Keery's saloon since
the robbery, caused the arrest and
claims to have absolute proofs. Mig
ger" Jim got tip last night and went
to search for Lord this morning with
gun. He met Lord on Front street,
put the gun at his head and called
upon him to give up" This brought
the matter to a focus and Lord was
arrested. All but $1,000 Of the stolen
money has been recovered.

THE OFFICE SEEKERS.
General Harrison Suggests {
Plan for the President.

Ex President Harrison gives a most
interesting pen picture of"A Day With
the President at His Desk" in the March
Ladie~' Home Journal. The article is
unique, as being the first written by a
President of life in the White House,
and in describing the routine of Chief
Executive. A feature that he treats
with directness relates to the President
interruptions from callers and Office
seekers.
cit is rare good fortune" he writes.
''during the early months of an admin
istration ifthe President gets one who'll
ly uninterrupted hour at his desk each
day. The Presidents time is so broken
into bits that he is often driven to late
night work, or to set up desk in his
bedroom when preparing message or
other paper requiring unbroker asten-
/ lion. Thoughtlessness Is the root of all
this. L only want five minutes; aud II
he we're the only one it could be spared;
but his double is at bis heels, and the
urgent public business is postponed or
done at night with q jaded mind. 1t
may be said that untimeIy visitors
should be excluded, and so they should
but thoughtfulness on their part would
be cure without a smart" Regarding
the ofice-seekers persistency in having
personal interviews with the President
General Harrison asserts that they ad-
vance their cause but little if it all.
"But the feeling that something is or
may be gained by personal interview
prevails, and for the first year and a
half o. an administration the President
spends from four to six hours of each
day talking about things he Will not
have to act upon for months, while the
things that ought to be done presently
are hurtfully postponed.
eff the President could make up and
publish an appointment docket, and
notify all persons having anything to
say in q particular case to draw near
on fixed day. it would result in great
saving of time all around, and great
saving of money to the applicant. who
could remain at home until summoned
to appear. No papers should be received
after the submission of the case, and
motions for rehearing and for new
trial should be barred"

The contrast in the condition Of the

Speaking of cattle interests yesterday
W. NJ. Griffith, the cattle baron of
Dripping Springs, said, feed is excellent
and the cattle business in Arizona is
nearly back to where it was palmy days.
Cattle are away up, mnch higher than
is usually known. Years OF drouth to-
gether with the combination to keep
the market down, made it tough sail
ing for several years, but now there is
such shortage throughout the United
States that they could be kept down no
longer. Texas and other breeding
grounds are not furnishing the old
time supply and as result there is
strong demand made on Arizona for
feeders. In our section of the territory
there have been no losses this winter
aud the calf crop is good.

When it was ascertained that McKin'

be just "a trihe previous" Maj. McKin-

have several more important things to
attend to than the appointment of Ter

he is sinaugurated. The incumbent, Gov.
Franklin, represents the sound d-money
wing of the Democracy, to which Mr..

CORNER ON WOOL.
A Pile of Money Raised to Bull
the Market.


A special to the Times-Herald from
Boston says: One of the largest corn ers
on wool ever attempted in the United
States exists at present In this city in
anticipation of the tariff on wool. A
syndicate was recently formed in this
city TO buy all the wool offered in Eu-
ropean markets in anticipation of
duty of 10 per cent. being put on wool
by congress at the extra session and
increased receipts thus accounted for.
The syndicate raised pile of money
and only few days ago cabled 5000,
900 to London agents. 1t is calculated
100000 bales, or 1OO.OOO,OOO pounds of
Australian and South American wool
will be brought to this country by the
syndicate within the time given.
