CONEY ISLAND ATTRACTION
 THE CARD IN DAWSON

Dawson News: The greatest fuss in Dawson today is on at the D. A. A. A., where the famous old amuse- ment palace is converted into the Northland Coney Island for @ day. Everything is there to give the ataid Kiondikers thrills for several consecutive hours. The entire low CT floor is given up to the grand electrical carousaI, or merry-go- round, the Brobdingnagian grab bag Santa Claus and his realm, the For tune Telling department and the Cave of Mystery ~.
 On the upper floor, that is, in the theater, is the large display of fancy work and other novelties which will catch the feminine and the masculine admirers of all that Is beautiful and useful. In the bal Cony of the show house are many tables, where pink tea and quick luncheOns are being served. Elec- trical heaters keep everything hot.

WILL HIT THE TRAIL
 WITH. WEE YUEONER

Dawson News: Facing a mush of 15O miles over the long winter trail, Mrs. George Cunningham will leave here tomorrow morning with her six weeks old babe. Mir. Cunningham and their two other young children also will make the trip. Mrs. Geo. Cunningham has been here since the last steamer came down from Mayo this fall. This is the third time she has made the trip from Dawson to Mayo in winter practically walk ing all ILe way, and on each trip she has taken back a bright new hJ- tie bairn, uutil today the third mem Der of the cheery family is with the arly. The babe was born here last month.
 The route for most of the dis tance is without a rOadhOuse, but has refuge houses at which the travellers can put up at midday and at night. Each cabin is provided with rough board hunks without blankets. The only other equip ment in the place is a small crude frontier stove, put there by the gov ernment. Each musher passing that way, according to the law Of the trail, leave a little pile of kindiing when departing in the morning, and that makes it possible for the next visitor to start the fire quickly on arriving from the Iong, tedious mus on the cold trail.
 Although Mir. and Mrs. Cunning ham are taking a horse attached to a small rig, they expect to walk much of the way this trip. Mrs. Cunningham is quite equal to the task. The first time she went over the route, eleven years ago, she mushed practically every step. She is a rugged daughter of the land of the heather, and delights in the outdoor life.
 NIr. and Mrs. Cunningham have been in the store and hotel business at Mayo for years.

WILL SOON HAVE AN
 AUTO ROAD TO OUTSIDE

c. E. w. Barwen, the engineer who was employed this year on the overland trail Improvements, is back in Dawson after an extended trip. He says that he trs veled gractic- ally the whole way from Dawson to Whitehorse and retmn on foot, and can say that auC'her years work like that of 1913 will put the road into such a condition that it can he travelled at any season of .hc year Ey wagon or automobile, but the finish is iE sight.
 "The addition of the graders to the working force this year., says Mir. Barwell, was a tremendous help, and the efforts and money ex- pended this year were intelligently directed. Between Whitehorse and Yukon Crossing, 15O miles, the wor is nearly finished, and an eXpendi- ture of less than last years appro- priation in that section will make 9 good road. From PeIly to Indian river is now the section that re quires the most attention, although lot of really good work was done there this year.
 Tt is possible that new pass over the summit between Black Hills and Indian river may be us ed, it being reported to be some 500 to 1000 feet lower than the pres ent one. However, that is a matter that requires careful looking into.
 "On the whcle, you may expect an auto road from Dawson to White horse by the end of 1914.-Daw- son News

DIR. l.. S. KELLER IS
 BOOSTING" FOR ALASKA

Dr. L. s. Keller of the Daily AL askan reached St. Paul on the 22d of Nov, and while enjoying a two weeks visit with relatives and friends is putting in his spare time boosting" for Alaska in general and skagway in particular. The St. Paul Pioneer Press of Nov. 23rd, publishes the following:
 "Dr. l.. s. Keller, of Skagway' Alaska, brother of Mayor Keller of this city, arrived in st. Paul yes terday for a two weeks visit with relatives. Dr. Keller is a native of St. Paul, but has been in Skagway for several years, engaged in the practice of his profession of den tistry. In 1906 he purchased the Skagway Daily Alaskan, which he still owns, and of which his brother, U. M. Keller, is business manager.
 "Dr. Keller said the people of Alaska are much interested in the proposal of the government to es- tablish a railroad from tidewater to the interior.
 We have to import all our coal .nOw because the government will not permit mining in the two big coal ficIds," said Dr. Keller. "The Naval department is now testing our Alaskan coal and it has been found that it's steaming qualities are the equal of any other coal. In time the Pacific naval fleet will be cOaled from the Alaskan fields"
 "Dr. Keller said the scenic beau ties of Alaska are attracting many tourists each year, and better rail way and steamship facilities are being inaugurated to care for this trade.
 "Skagway now has population of about 1000, but during the Klon dike gold rush of 19O7-OS the city quartered 15,OOO people. Dr. Kel- Ter said the climate is mild, and permits the growing of vegetables and small fruits. This year truck farmers in the vicinity of Skagway have shipped large quantities of umuiDs and rutabagas to Seattle"

Prospects For Crops
ATs Now Very Good
Aseo.dins to R.por, from State Officials.

Atlanta, Ca, May 49, A conn
parison Of the cotton crops in Gcor-
gia for 1896 and 1906. when there
was very small rainfall, with the
crop last, when there was plenty OF
early spring rain, does not leave any
reason for the farmers to feel appre-
hensiye about this years crop. The
figures make such showing that
there is every reason to believe there
will be very excellent average crop
this year, if there is anything like
reasonable conditions from now on.
In 1896 the cotton acreage in
Georgia was 3,468,3a5, and the
number Of bales that year was IT,
300, 34Os The rainfall that year dur
lng the month Of April, according
to the reports Of the local weather
bureau, was SO inches.
In 1905 the acreage ia the state
was 100000 and crop showed
total Of / ,677 1866 bales. The rain
fall in April that year was 81 in
ches.
This year the rainfall in April
was "a inches.
The April rain record this year is
smaller than for thirty-years back
with the exception oflthe years 1896
and 1906.
In 1912. with an acreage Of s.
500, 900 and with plenty Of rain in
the spring, the total crop was only
l,S49, 3O3.
That is, with very heavy in
crease in the acreage and with no
drouth, the crop last year was only
4 little over 100000 bales more, as
compared with the crop OF lSOo'
There were mere than 200, 900, 600
acres less in cotton lost year than
there was 10 es96, and yet the dry
years crop, with the small acreage,
was only 900, 600 bales behind the
crop OF the wet year with the large
acreage.
The crop of 1911 was 2,S45, 799
bales with an acreage Of 5,504, 900,
but that was a bumper crop, one
that had not been equalled in the
South for many years. The entire
season from January toOctober was
propitious. There was Just enough
ain when rain was needed, and
lust enough dry, warm weather
for blowing and picking.
But even with the dry spell the
outlook cannot be taken to mean a
small crop If cotton. for as stated,
other dry years with 6rcuth in April
did not result in a small crop as
compared with the total acreage.

Work will be resumed soon, ac-
cording to the announcement just
made here, on the uncompleted link
of the Andersonville- Thomasyille
highway within Lee county. 1t will
be recalled that the Lee county link
of this road was never completed,
though it was brought within two
miles of Leesburg from Smithyille,
going south.
This two-mile link is about all Of
the road that has not been compile
ted, as the road below Leesburg to
Albany is in excellent shape. The
two-mile link referred to would have
been COMPLETED also, if there had
not been a road in good shape from
that point to Leesburg. A force Of
twenty convicts will be put to work
upon the road very soon, and it is
hoped that only short time will be
required to finish it.

are at work repairing the damage
done at Wright's bridge by the

some time longer to complete that
