GOLDEN SHOWER
DESCENDS UPON
LUCKY WORKERS
Ship Carpenters Pile
Up Eagles.

Ship carpenters and joiners in this city
are having a season of high-earning ca
paclty that is reminiscent of the golden
days of '49. Those who are in a position
to know say that there are no ship car
penters out of work in the city to-day.
Not only is that the fact, but 1t is also
true that there is a demand for more.
But this will not draw in workmen from
the outside for the reason that the ex-
traordinary demand, which has created
the present unprecedented condition. un-
precedented at least in recent years, is
only temporary. The large fleet of Uni
ted States transports to be fitted out has
made the situation.
There are eighteen transports, on all of
which more or less carpenter work and
joining must be done in haste, for the
reason that the entire fleet must sail
within a period of eighteen days. The
fleet is composed of the following named
vessels: Belgian King, Aztec. Relief,
Elder, Sikh, Sherman, City of Rio Janeiro,
Sheridan, Glenogle, Valencia, Charles
Nelson, Zealandia, Hancock, Lennon and
Victoria. Ten of these vessels must be
fitted entirely for transports and on the
others there is more or less work to do
When a vessel is taken on as trans
port she has to be refitted, and this was
the condition of ten of the foregoing list
that have been chartered for the Philip
pine transportation service. There are
between 300 and 400 carpenters and join
there are none who are not working over
time. The reason is plain. For every
hour of overtime the worker gets 81. The
regular price for a days work of eight
hours is "a. The carpenter who works
sixteen hours a day gets $12. No one is
discouraged in making time. The longer
he will work the better he suits all con-
cerned. for the greatest speed is needed
to push the work to completion. AS
consequence there are many carpenters
who are earning from $50 to $50 per week
Some experts have earned as high as
800. Contractor Whalen says that he has
paid expert carpenters recently as high
spread among the joiners of the city.
Builders complain that many of their
best men have been taken away from
them to work on the United States trans
ports, and they will have to wait to
complete some of their jobs until the
rush is over. In the golden days Of Cali
fornia it was not unusual for a skilled
but that has probably not been the case
at any other period in the history of the
State.
''I have taken on all the ship carpenters
and joiners that I could get" said Con-
tractor Whalen yesterday afternoon.
who are not working on the
transports are employed upon the regular
steamship lines vessels"
One result of this activity upon the
transports is evident upon East street,
which is now about the busiest thorough
fare in the city with the exception of
Market street. The carpenters are look
as there are repairs to be
made on all the transports when they re-
turn from the Philippines.

BARN OF MR.. W. F. LOCKE PARTIALLY
DESTROYED.
Dav8on'8 Paid Fire Department Responds
Promptly and Does Splendid Work in
Its Battle With the Flames,

At a quarter to ten o'clock Sunday
n ght Mr. w. f. Locke's BAN was dis
covered in full blaze, and but for the
promptness and efficiency of Dawson's
paid fire department a disastrous fire
would have occurred.
The barn is situated in the rear Of Mr..
Locke's premises and is separated by a
space of only few feet from the dwell
ing Of Mr.. j F.. E. Grubbs. A strong wind
was blowing 1T the time, and the barn
contained 100 bundles of hay, 1870 bush
els of corn and lot of fodder The mass
burned rapidly and made a big blaze,
and it seemed tina! it would be impossi-
ble to save the barn and contents from
total loss.
In less than four minutes after the
alarm was received Chief Jack Cameron
and his fire laddies, Martin, Sharp and
Virgins, were playing several strong
streams on the fire, and by prompt and
decisive work they soon succeeded in
getting the flames under complete con-
troll without damage to the adjoining
property. Only the top of the barn was
burned, and of the 1870 bushels OF corn
% bushels were destroyed, but the hay
and fodder, which was stored in the LOTT
was almost total loss. $3.50 will
cover Mr.. Locke's loss. Tie building
and contents were insured by M. NJ
LOwrey & Co. for 800.
The effectiveness of UawsOn's new fire
department was thoroughly tested on
this occasion, and the record made is
cause for pride on the part of the clti>
zens of Dawson.
'PHONE FIRE ALARMS.
Chief Cameron requests THE NEWS to
notify the citizens of Dawson that there
is a telephone at the fire department
headquarters, and that it weuld greatly
aid the department in its work II, upon
the discovery of fire, they WonId
promptly phone the alarm and give the
ocation of the burning building.
