STAYS ON
Cold Weather Continues
 Throughout North

The cold wave which struck the country Sunday continues. The tenn perature was stin below freezing at Whitehorse this morning, being sev- eral degrees lower than it was yester- day. Similar conditions prevail the full length of the Yukon river and fear is expressed that Yukon navigation might become difficult on account of a lack of water.
 The river is falling at all points and the boats that are coming up stream are not making as good time as they have formerly done. This last, of course, is partly at least due to the darker nights.
 It is now freely admitted that the hope of those in the transportation bus mess rest largely in the prospect that the cold weather will not continue much longer and that it will be follow ed by rains, which will cause the river to rise.
 The temperature at Skagway yeSter- day reached a minimum of but two de- grees above freezing on Moore wharf, and up town ice formed.

MUST PAY
Council Will Get Dog Taxes
 or Dogs

The city council has determined that the dog taxes must be paid or the dogs killed. That matter was discussed at some length at the regular meeting of the council last night, and the Ordi- nance relative to the matter was con- sidered. There has been difficulty found in getting anyone to act as pound- master, so the suggestion met with favor that the ordinances be amended so as 10 authorize the city marshal to kill all the dogs upon which the taxes have not been paid after a certain date, to be prescribed, without further mo- tice. The law, making it a misde- meanor for one to own or harbor ca- nine upon which the taxes have not been paid, will probably also be ap- pealed to. The clerk was instructed to give notice for dog owners to appear at the treasurer's office Onor before Oct ober and pay their dog taxesor the law would be enforced against them. The committee on judiciary and elections was also instructed to revise the dog ordinance in such a way as to make the effective enforcement of the law more convenient.
 The town clerk complained last night that the city attorney had not begun suits for the collection of delinquent taxes. Members of the council stated that Mir. J innings, before going east, had requested that the city council se- cure the assistance oi l.. P. Shackle- ford or T. R. Lyons, of Juneau, in the event of their requiring the assistance of lawyer, and in the event of the re. fusal of Judge WilcoXen to act. The matter was left to the committee on ju- dietary and elections.
 The school board was allowed $50 for September's school expenses and insurance on the school building.
 The municipal magistrate reported thrt he had collected SlOl in the month of August.
 The matter of the bills of the North west Light X Power Company for hy- drants for the last several months was referred to the fire and water commit tee. The water company claims rental at the rate of S75 per hydraut per year and the city offers to pay at the rate of s25 per hydrant per year, It W s sug- gested by manager Edwin Browne, of the water company, that there would be DO difficulty in reaching an agree ment.
 Complaint was made by Elias Ruud, city engineer that children were inter- fering with the work on the water sys- tenn by putting rocks into open hy- drants and pipes. It was decided to re- quest the principal of the school to nO- tify the children that the city authOri- ties would punish them under the Jaw if they did it any more.
 Complaint was made about the con- tractor permitting the surplus water pumped from the drains in which the pipe is laid to run under buildings.
 The monthly bills and those in con nection with the water system were al- lowed
 All the members of the council were present except Mayor Keller and John Kalem. w. B King presided as pres ident pro tem.

Beaten one day gave the Shining Shield
None but the maker of the shield knew
the secret of its permanent and phenom-

in Iron Beaters grave
The prowess of Floating Feather was
equal TO the luster of the Shining Shield.
and he became a mighty war chief When
In the plentitude of his sway and
strength Floating Feather was gathered
unto his red fathers, there was buried
with him, an especial mark of tribal
esteem and remembrance, the Shining
Shield. But whence came the mysterious
and magnificent polish which made the
Shining Shield marvel In Shohone eyes
and which is told in Shoshone story and
chanted in Shoshone song?
Generations after the shield itself had
passed forever from sight in the grave
of the great Floating Feather and when
the very Shoshone nation itself is finally
passing, Is read the riddle of the mystic
shield in the late discovery in the Sher-
idan vicinity of the rare and costly molyb-
dentie-s metal whose mission Is the
placing of an imperishable and lustrous
polish upon steel. The iron heater was

From the New York Press.
General Wood says that while in Lon
don year or so ago an officer of the
British army related to him a tale of
the difficulties experienced by the COM
handing colonel of the Connaught Rang
ers in his efforts to suppress drunkenness
and disorder in the regiment.
Now the colonel had made up his mind
that this disorder must cease. He de-
cided that at the first opportunity he
would make an example of the offender
next found out. So, shortly afterward a
corporal who had been on an unholy tear
was compelled to march across his regi-
ment's front in his muddy and torn uni
form. just as he had returned to bar
racks.
This was done as an awful warming and
calculated to appeal to the esprit du
corps. But, sad to relate. when the cor
poral arrived at the left flank he turned
to his colonel, saluted, and just as If he
had been some swell officer inspecting
them remarked
Colonel, l thank We; It's the foinist

Presumptuous Tourists.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Rear Admiral Melville was praising the
turbine engines that he had been study
ing in Europe. Westminster Abbey in
some way thrust itself into the CONVEX
sation, and the noted sailor ceasing his
technical discussion of turbines, said:
Westminster Abbey is a grand old
place for everything except prayer. They
saw that a devout American visited it
one day and, after he had looked at all
the tombs and inscriptions, he knelt on
the stone pavement and bowed his head.
"A verger, frowning, tiptoed up to
him.
'''You can't pray here, he said,
