After the scaffold had been built last
Thursday for the hanging of William
Hairston telegram was received from
Governor Montague, directed to the
Sheriff of Tazewell county, announcing
that he had granted Hairston respite
of thirty days. The scaffold was left
standing and will remain until the thirty
days have expired. If the Governor
declines to commute the sentence of the
prisoner to life imprisonment he will then
be hung. A further effort will be made
by petition to secure merciful action
from the Governor. But he is not like
ly to grant the request of the petitions.
There was and is strong desire among
the people here to prevent the execu-
ton of the sentence of death, if possible,
and many think it strange the Governor
should hesitate to extend mercy, after
being requested by the trial judge and
eleven of the jury to so act.

LUXURY IN THE KLONDIKE.
Electric Lights and Automobiles
Where a Few Years Ago Were
Darkness and Want.

Hardship is no longer necessary ac-
compartment of owning and working
mine in the KlondIke. Certain holders
of rich claims on Bonanza and Edo
vado creeks, on which were made the
strikes" that startled the world few
years ago, have worked out system OF
gathering their golden dividends which
involves little more than an enjoyable
summer outing. 1t is as easy as going to
the races, only the Klondike brings back
the gold. 1t is hardly more trouble than
clipping coupons from gilt-edged bonds,
says the New York Tribune.
These owners of bonanza claims
spend the winter in "the states" Cali
fornia claiming most of them. In the
spring they make up party Of friends
or relatives, and by easy stages 90 in to
Dawson for the cleanup" Large
ocean steamers carry them to Skagway,
and the White Pass & Yukon railway
spans the gap to White Horse rapids,
where river steamers are waiting, and in
two or three days they scurry down the
Yukon to Dawson.
The cabins on the creeks have been
cleaned and we'll stocked against the
coming of the owner and his party.
When he arrives the water is turned into
the huge sluices and the work of wash
ing out the gravel mined during the
winter begins. The women Of the party
spend hours alongside the suices, for
gathering the Yukon gold has peculiar
fascination If they tire of this novelty
there are stages to take them into Daw-
son for ball or an evening at the the
alter.
Il had the time of my life," declared
a young woman who went in for the
cleanup" last year. was In Dawson
just four weeks, and attended IA balls.
Half the men | met were college gradu-
ates, and all wore evening clothes, even
to dinner parties. No dress in wom-
ans wardrobe Is too fine for Dawson,
but even fright Of woman is sure Of
good time, for the men are in such ma
tority.
THE most striking celebration which
occurred in the course Of my visit was
the trip to the Dome, a great hill back
Of Dawson, on June II, the longest day
Of the year. The sun is in view for "a
hours from the Dome, while in the Yu
kon valley 1t disappears for a couple Of
hours More than q thousand Of us
made the trip to bask in midnight SUM
shine"
The cleanup takes three or four
weeks, and when 1t is over the gold in
small sacks is hauled into Dawson. The
owner pays the crown royalty to the
authorities, settles with his employees
and expresses the rest to his bank in San
Francisco or Seattle. He has the choice
of two routes home-the way he came,
or down the Yukon to Behrlng sea and
thence to the states by a long ocean
route. Either way there is absolute COM
fort.
Such Is the evolution Of the gold camp
that once suffered famine and scurvy,
and to which relief was sent by dog
teams over the frozen snow fields. Daw-
son now boasts electric lights, automo-
biles, and no less than 1900 bicycles II
is as gay socially In winter as in sum-
mer when the cleanup" crowd ap-
pears to make things lively.

Uncle Sans Big Rice Farms

Rice is beginning to loom larger In
,he export trade Of the United States,
and a ready market Is being found in
Cuba, where, Consul Baehr asserts, it
will monopolize the market within few
years. The diversified character Of
American exports could hardly be bet
ter shown than by the fact that the Pa
cifc northwest is supplying the rice
eating orient with flour and the gulf
states are supplying Cuba, which is
largely a rice-eating country. with rice
that is superior to that Of India or China.
