DEADWOOD. S. D., July 27.-Dead-
wood used to be the toughest town in
the world. and that not many years
ago, but today there is no more order
ly or civilized community in the coun-
try. and the laws that govern the
moral conduct of mankind are enforc-
ed here by a public sentiment that
would do credit to Massachusetts or
Maine. The notoriety of Deadwood as
as tough town extended from one
end OF the world to the other, and
many of the stories that are told of
events and incidents here in Wild
Bill's time were true. although there is
no grave stone In the cemetery, as
currently reported. with this epitaph:
....s.. He done his damdest. -. =.
-. Angels could do no more. ....
When ] was in Deadwood several
years ago there were still several large
gambling houses in which the games
were running as openely as the dry
good stores or groceries. Almost ev-
cry other 1oor led into saloon which
was always open, and there were gen
orally a dance house and other dis
reputable connections, But gambling
was entirely stopped In 1906 and ev.
eryone OF these dlsreputable places
was closed. Public sentiment would
not endure them any longer, and while
there are doubtless many games of
chance played at the clubs, In private
rooms at the hotels and In other Sc

blers and the tough element are all
gone. They went to Goldfield. Tono-

why the Alaska-Y -Yukon-Pacific expo
sition was worth building and will be
worth seeing. II shows what is new,
what is undeveloped. other eXposi-

plishment; the Alaska Yukon-Pacif
on the other hand, is an eye-opener to
opportunity and potentiality ready
for development.
AS officially declared, the purposes
of the exposition are: To exploit the
resources and potentialties of the
Alaska and Yukon territories; to
make known and foster the vast i'm
portance of the trade of the Pacific
ocean and of the countries bordering
thereon to demonstrate the marvel
