EQUAL DAYS and Nights

Summer endedIMonday and autumn
began with the passing of the equinox
the days and nights being equal in
length. The 81 n crosses the equator on
its Journey northward, passing this sec
ton about Thanksgiving Day and strik-
ing the northern meridian on December
the 21st, when nights will be the long
est and the days the shortest of the
year. Protracted rains invariably &C
company the equinox but it looks this
time as though the weather man had
forgotten.

avail himself of this privilege.

YUKON GOVERNMENT
IS ten YEARS OLD
Since Famous Gold Camp Was
Organized It Has Produced
$1O0, 100000.

Special Seattle Correspondence: Ten
years ago on September 8. the first
territorial government of the Yukon
territory was formally installed in
Office at Dawson, the capital of
the Yukon. Governor William Ogil-
vic, the first commissioner, with
IL assistants, arrived on that day
from White Horse by the steamer
Ora and Immediately established tenn
porary headquarters in a big log cabin
building that had been erected for the
purpose.
Since that time the famous Klondike
and adjoining creeks have produced a
total of over 100000, 900 in gold, all of
which has gone into the worlds Golfers
and is being used in the conduct of the
worlds business. It Is to properly cele-
brate this fact and bring about further
development of the gold resources of
the Yukon and Alaska that the Alaska
Yukon Pacific exposition is being held
at Seattle next summer. Gold has done
much for the world and this is the
first time that an exposition has been
held to give it honor.
The Yukon territory is still a great
gold producer. Within the last few
years, while the methods of gold extrac-
ton have been undergoing a change,
the production has dropped off, but
with the installation of dredges, by
draulic appliances and huge water svs-
TENS the gold production will receive a
big impetus that will soon put the
Yukon back in the front rank.
Governor Ogilvie is still in the Yukon.
now engaged in dredging. He is one
of the enthusiastic workers for the ex-
position and will be present, as will
many others of the first government
