WAS NOT So BAD
At DAWSON

TO combat the idea that Dawson
was in very bay way at the time
If the smallpox epidemic the board
of trade of the Yukon metropolis is
sending out letters to the various
chambers of commerce throughout
the country Following is the letter
received here:
Dawson, Yukon. July 80. 1911.
Secretary Board of Trade. Fair
banks. Alaska.
Dear Sir-Numerous reports have
reached us that very exaggerated
idea of the extent and character of
our recent smallpox visitation is very
generally held by residents of other
cities.
in some cases they report many
deaths and alarming proportions to
the spread of the disease. whereas
as a matter of fact, we have only
had 23 cases of very mild type,
land no DEATH. all of which are
now cured and out of all danger of
sprt aiding the disease. There has
not been a new case, or suspect, for
30 days, and as a matter of record
we are as clean of this particular
disease as any city in the world.
I'VE wish that. through your
board. you would kindly give this
matter the publicity which we think
it merits and assist to remove the
erroneous impression that prevails
in your and other cities.
Yours truly.
Dawson Board of Trade,
GEO. F. JOHNSON. Sec"

SMALLPOX IN PORCUPINE

Word was brought down IN the
steamer Tanana to the effect that
eighteen cases Of smallpox have
broken out among the Canadian In
dams in the Porcupine. but along
with the bad news comes also the
ment is taking rigorous steps to
prevent the spread of the disease
On the American side OF the line
at Fort Yukon. DR.. Burke is doing
what he can. altogether without gov
eminent assistance, to keep the dis
ease from crossing the line.
In the absence of Craig, the chief
Of the Canadian survey party. J. X.
Riggs, the American surveyor, took
charge when the first case was te-
ported in the Porcupine district
Crossing over the boundary he did all
that was possible. isolating the pa
tient and tearing down the buildings
which had been exposed. After scrub
bling and fumigating the Indians he
sent them to the hills. reimbursing
them from his own pocket for the
trouble they had been put TO. The dis
ease. however. broke out again and

JUDGE MILLER ASSAULTED

Word was brought TO town by the
arrivals on the Schwatka last Tues
day to the effect that Attorney II.
j. Miller. while en- route to the Out
side for treatment by the Mayo
brothers. was viciously attacked by
Bill Rooney. formerly of Dome creek.
and beaten almost to death. Judge
Miller was in frail health at the
time and was in a hurry to reach the
Rochester sanitarium, so he took no
action against Rooney.
The attorney is said to have step
ped off the boat at kaltag for a
stroll and then it was that he was
set upon by Rooney. against whom
Miller testified in one of the Dome
creek cases. He was knocked down
and kicked. and SO badly beaten that
many of those on the boat thought
he could not recover.
The Alaska citizen., 1911-08-21

A ruling made On Saturday in the
case of the United States VS. the
Northern Commercial company is to
the effect that the company must pay
the government of the United States
for the privilege Of hauling freight
and operating steamboats, on the
Yukon river and its tributaries The
case was brought to compel the com
pany to pay a tax on the tonnage
hauled within the boundaries of Alas
ka. the defense put up by the com
pany being that il should be immune
from this tax as it was compelled to
pay tonnage tax to the Canadian
government on the freight hauled to
Dawson. A similar case is pending
against the n A T. 4 T. company
and the government is also trying to
compel both companies To pay TAX
for the privilege of maintaining docks
al Fairbanks. This latter case is
now under advisement. The y. c.
company contends that lis dock is
Il private one and that therefore it
is immune from the tax.

COMMERCIAL CLUB HAS
ENTHUS|AS TIC SESSION
Vote to Do All Possible to Secure Appropria-
tons for Wagon Road From Chitina and
an Amendment to the Game law.

i very enthusiastic meeting of
the Commercial club was held in
The upstairs room at the Auditorium
II Thursday evening, there being
about 30 members in attendance The
club Went Oh record as favarins the
project of Il wagon road from Chit
ina to Fairbank and an amendment
to IN game law and organized work
will now be started to bring about
results. 1t was ais decided to eX-
tend an invitation t. Secretary Fish
er and Governor Clark to visit Fair
banks. coming by way of the trail.
The meeting was conducted in the
tom of an informal smoker, and the
discussion of the various topics in
PRODUCED was liberal and Instructive
Nearly all of the members to X
hand in the debates and the spirit Of
enthusiasm evinced augured we'll for
the success Il the club and for the
attainment OF results. Frequent meet
ines of the executive board will be
held to draw up and execute the
plan of campaign by which il is hop
ed to secure sufficient appropria-
tons for the making Of the Chitina
trail available for automobiles and
every individual and organized body
likely to help will be petitioned for
assistance.
The matter Of government bridge
over the slough was brought up and
discussed thoroughly but it was the
sense of the meeting that it would
be better to go after one thing at a
time. particularly as the money fer
the bridge would have t. come from
the same fund as the appropriation
for the rad. The bridge question,
however, will not be lost sight of
and the club is committed to work
in every possible way to secure a per
manent StruCtMre.

Bridge NEARLY DEMOLISHED

During the swollen condition of
the Cinema river due to the recent
rains the Turner street bridge was
in grave danger of being taken out.
The river rose rapidly on Wednesday
night and on Thursday morning had
attained higher level than has been
reached since the high water in the
spring. The gauge showed that
there was more than ~ feet of
water on the Home bar While not
nearly so much driftWood came down
stream as might have been eX-
pected if it had not been for
the food AT the time of the breakup,
there was still enough to endanger
the piling, and it was only with the
aid of the piledriver that the ac-
emulation was cleared away in
time to prevent the piers being
carried away. AS it was one Of
the piers on the Garden Island side

bridge to sag badly.
