10000 GALLONS OF WHISKY
The Christmas Dram Has Come to
Dawson in Large Quantities the
Past Few Days.

Nobody in the Dawson territory
will suffer from a Christmas thirst
unless it is because they want to.
According to an official of one of
the railroads there has been received
at Dawson the past three or four days
not less than ten thousand gallons of
whiskey. All of this whiskey is not
to supply the city demand, of course,
a considerable part of it being for
people living in the country and
towns off the railroads.
Notwithstanding the heavy whis-
key shipments there has been very
little outward evidence of it, and
the order so far has been exception
ally good for the holiday season.

aside from the financial loss, which
was incurred at the concerts, the

held in the 50 years of the Northwest
Saengerbund.
Among the things praised by the
visitors" said Mr.. BetZ, were the
hotel accommodations and the treat

ceived an invitation to command the
forces for the president in the North

Mr.. Tawney declared:
There is absolutely no ground for
the report, except the fact that it was
claimed in 1904 that successfully

behalf of the election of Colonel
Roosevelt For this service / received
from Mr.. Roosevelt his highest praise
and commentator. Being for him
and working for his success, at that
time, l was not then a political boss,
but self-sacrificing patriot"
Mr.. Tawney said he should consider
it only great honor to be called upon
to aid in the campaign of the only
candidate who stands for the represen-
tative government by law, under the

the mere will of the man who may be
chosen as the chief executive of the
