ORIGIN OF YUKON
 PIONEERS

Incidental to the fact that August l Is was Discovery Day, says the Daw i son News, number of members of the Yukon Order of Pioneers cleared the small growth and grass out of the Pioneer cemetery, on the edge of the city.
 In the cemetery are buried some of the most noted of the men who arrived in the country before the big strike was made on Bonanza | The number includes the following
 Frederick Washington Hart who came to Yukon in 1873 and died in | 1897; John Nelson, who came to Yu 1 kon in 1886, and died in 1900; Gus | Anderson, Victor Peterson, Joseph Beadreau. Wm. Denker, Harry G ! Spencer, Cash Amcher, Joe Delage James McLarty, Charles F. Eaton Wm Gauthier, Anton Beyneton. Mark Alcock and several others.
 The Yukon Order of Pioneers was organized at Fortymile in 1894. The first officers were:
 | l.. N. McQuesten, president; Frank Dunsmuir, vice-president; Wm. Me, Phee, treasurer; Frank Bowker, sec retary; Jos. Cooper, guard; Frank Buteau, warden; P. Nelson and Thos | OBrien, finance committee. Mir O'Brien is now resident of Dawson
 To be eligible for membership in the order it first was required that an applicant should then have been in the Yukon basin during or prior to 1888. In 1896 the limit was chang ed to 1889 At various times it was changed to 1895; 1896 and 1897; and in 1909 it was changed to 1898
 The charter members numbered TO- The charter members who came into the country in 1873 were l.. N Me Questen, better known as Jack" McQuesten, F. w. White, Rudolph Newman, A. H. Mayo, and Arthur Harper
 Later came such men as Frank Dunsmuir, Ben Atwater, H. H. Hart Wm. Stewart, Harry Smith, Skiff Mitchell, Ed. Grignon, Frank Buteau Geo. Matlock, Bob Lowrie, w. B. Lloyd, Peter Nelson, A. Wiborg, Joe Cooper, Frank Bowker, Bill McPhee Thos. O'Brien, Gordon Bettles, Thos Young and others.

AN OLD WARRIOR.

The Saturday Evening Post devot ed nearly a page of a recent issue 10 depicting the character of the late Harvey w. Scott. the WellknOwn editor of the Portland Oregonian one of the leading dailies of the Pacific coast. Mir. Scott also was the owner of the paper, and, for this reason, he shouldered the full responsibility for the policies it in name, but the actual grinder-out of the parper's leaders, as well as captain of the whole editorial force. This condition is not com mon in these days of large metropOl itan dailies, and what the Post has to say of Mir. Scott is full of inter. est for newspaper men in general and old-timers in particular This is the way the old warriors character istics and activities are summed up:
 "A grand old fighting man was Scott. In his early life he killed In. dians out in the Puget Sound coun, try, and in his later life he has been killing politicians. and he has a lot of notches in his quill. To be sure it is possible to find men in Portland and Oregon, and all the Pacific coast nty.,- lrhn cor hi n that are not fit to eat, but he has damned most of them. Politics in that country is more intense and personal than elsewhere Naturally, in 50 years of editorial writing Scott has unified a lot of people-almost as many as he has biffed. However, he goes along calm and serene, and took no stock of that It is all in the days work If he thought it in his province to crack a head he cracked it, careless of consequences either to the head or to himself. A first-class fighting man You can get all sorts of opinion about Harvey Scott in Oregon. He has hammered so many men that he is bitterly hated by one faction, and he is well beloved by another; but whatever the opin ion may be, whether from friend oI foe, there will never be dissent tC the statement that he was a first class, two-fisted fighting man, a grand old warrior"

SULPHUR FROM MAKUSH|N

Mount Makushin, on Unalaska isl land, is mostly sulphur, at least a large upper section of the cone, and a San Francisco company is going to slice off the sulphur section and sell it. The discovery of a large sulphur deposit on the mountain was made many years ago by Jack Shepard, a hunter and trapper.
 In 1901 F. McGettigan, of San Francisco learned of the sulphur from Shepard and for two or three years explored the mountain and planned to exploit it. Other business drew away his attention until re gently. when he located a lot of mineral claims where sulphur most abOunds and he is now in Valdez on his way to Unalaska. Mir. Shep- ard is with him.
 The San Francisco and Dutch Harbor Sulphur Association has been organized and expects soon to be shipping sulphur. Makushin Bay. near the foot of the mountain, is fine harbor, and there bunkers will be located These and tramWay from the mountain top will be in stalled in a short time
 One side of the upper mountain Is composed of solid sulphur so hard as to resemble granite in texture The other side is crystal iZed sulphur, 99.S per cent. fine. The sulphur is believed to have vast depth.
 While Mount Makushin is classed as a live volcano il is nearly eX- tinct. The bed of the sulphur basin is at the top and bubbles and steams slightly. It is a plain case that this big sulphur deposit came right up from hell On the west side of the mountain is an enormous spouting stream of hot sulphur water. which dashes in a steaming waterfall far down the abrupt slope and makes a river after reaching the ground again.-PrOSpectOr.

PlSA'S LEANING TOWER.

A Roman journal, the Messag. zero, raised an alarm recently with regard to the famous Campanile. better known as the Leaning Tower. of Pisa. It would appear that a government commission. charged with an inquiry into the condition of the tower. and composed of sev- eral competent architects and engin- eers. have reported marked change in it's inclination In 1929. we are told. the inclination was measured by two English authori- ties, whose names are not given. and was established at S65 milli- metres in every metre. Today the
 inclination is 92 millimetres in every metre. an increase of 5}2 millmetres in a metre in the course of S0 years. Accord ing 10 the accepted Italian meas urement the whole height of the tower is II metres. or IT feet. The tower must therefore now be four metres S6 centimetres. or r. feet. II inches out of the perpendicular. Also. it must have moved 101a inches during the last so years. One must suppose from the figures giv- en that the measurement includes the projection of the corniCe, which adds 2l2 feet to the total amount out of the perpendicular
 The tower. it will be remember ed, was built by Bonanno, of Pisa. aided by a certain William of Inns bruck, in the latter part of the 12lh century; or, rather, il was partially built al that date II was not com pletcd until the 1lth century. when. about l3t0 or later, it was finished by TommasO Pisano. son of An drea, the famous sculptor. Italian authorities consider that fhc slip ping of the foundations took place while the tower was being built by Bonanno, and that this was the reason why the work was abandoned before completion for more than q century. When, after hundred years or more. il was clear that there was no further movement to be feared, Tommaso Pisano was em-

 News of the startling discovery be- came public as the result of pro- tracted conference held at the navy department.

ployed to finish the work. The later portion of the tower. and the addi- tional precautions taken in building 1t, are today easily recognized The commission seem to be of the opin- ion that the renewed inclination of the tower may be in some measure due to the earthquake of 1884, and also to certain excavations made in 1889 in order to measure it's base. The only immediate remedy they are able to suggest at present is the disuse of the bells, whose vi brations may conduce to further movement.
