COMPETITION VERY lively
DAWSON MERCHANTS EXPECT A
RIG FALL AND WINTER TRADE.

Stocks Are Larger Than Ever Before,
and Goods Are as Up to Date as
in Any of the Big Cities.
That most of the Dawson mer-
chants expect to have a very large
; fall and winter trade is shown by the
| fact that they have bought the lar
gest STOCKS of fall and winter goods
ever offered in this city.
There are new merchants in bust
ness here, and a number OF the old
ones have taken on new lines. A
number of Dawson ladies who have
returned from some of the larger cit
les declare that the displays in Daw-
son are as good as they saw any
where. Much favorable comment has
been made on the window displays,
as well as in the displays in the sales
rooms and show rooms.
The openings have drawn large
crowds of people from the neighbor-
ing towns, and everybody admits that
| the Dawson merchants are at the
head of the procession this year.
Some of the out-of-town shoppers
have been very much surprised at
| the displays in the different stores
and they have not hesitated to say
| that the goods which they have
bought in Dawson are just as up-to-
date, both in quality and in price, as
they have seen in any of the large
cities
The hats and dresses in some OF
the show windows here have been
simply superb. Some of the hats
range in price from $3.50 to $75,
while the costumes run from $3.50
to 500.
In the clothing stores the displays
of mems ready-to-wear goods are un-
usually large. The merchants are
catering to the highest class trade,
and the ready-to-wear garments are
equal to any tailor-made goods that
come to this city. Dawson is hand
ling the highest class shoes, which
means that one can get pair OF $40
shoes in Dawson as easily as in At
lanta.
All of these things go to show that
the trade of this section is demand
ing the best quality of goods and
that the best buyers in the neighbor-
ing towns are looking to Dawson to
supply the demands which were for
merly supplied by the larger cities.
The advertising columns OF The
News are a sort of clearing house,
where the enterprising merchants
place their goods before the public.
The merchants who advertise keep
their goods moving and buyers have
long since learned that only fresh
goods are kept by the merchants who
keep their stocks moving and who
keep their wares before the public in
the paper.

One feature in which the Russian
frontier differs from others Is the com
plete ignorance OF those living near the
border OF what lies beyond.
A correspondent Of the Autocar says
that he called ut the Automobile club
in BFeslau, hoping to gain some infor-
mutton 1.-The members received me
most kindly and did all they could to
help. but explained that they never
crossed the frontier and had no first
hand knowledge. The German customs
officer. living for ten years within
yards of Russia. spoke no word OF Rus
sian, and the Russians beyond the
chain spoke no German.
There is neutral strip some three
or four yards wide between Russia
and Germany, along which many Rus
sian sentries are posted, and mounted
Cossacks pass at short intervals, rid
ing the boundary."--NewY York Sun.

ELEPHANTS AS WORKERS.
Without Them Burma's Teakwooo
Trade Would Languish.


Since 1886 the export of teakwood
from Burma has increased enormous
ly; but, despite the phenomenally mgh
price of the wood. it would not DE
profitable to work it, even III these
DAYS, without the elephant. In this
trade the Burmese elephants. massive
animals whose strength is almost I'M
limited. are seen at their best as beasts
of burden.
From the time when the forest areas
are purchased, before the trees are
felled, to the hour Of export ON the
ocean going vessels at the port on the
Indian ocean the elephant is the main
worker. Far away in the malarial
swamps and almost impenetrable jun
giles this majestic beast first tramps
down passage through the under
growth. Then, guided by his Indian
keepers prong, the elephant COM
mences his arduous labor of dragging
the felled trees to the river, whence
they are conveyed by raft down coun-
try to the sawmills.
These enormous trees, untrimmeo
and cumbrous, are sometimes dragged
up and down the jungle and mountain
forest pathways en- route to the river
with rare precision. At the mills
again the work of packing and stack
ing is done exclusively by elephants.
When the trees are sawed into lengths
the elephants do the piling, bringing
the huge planks from the sheds and
arranging them in an orderly manner
In numbered piles.-Argonaut

ADMIRED HIS BRAVERY.
A Merry British Boy and His Recep-
ton by the Enemy.


Mere boys have often shown the
greatest heroism In the face of peril.
both on and off the battlefield. How
many know the story of the little Brit
ish bugler who accompanied Colonel
Rennies column in the disastrous ad.
vance against General Jackson's in
trenchments at New Orleans hun
ared years ago?
A whitening fire of cannon and mus
kerry greeted the British troops as
they charged the American redoubt-a
fire that for deadly accuracy has rare
ly been equaled
The young bugler at once climbed
into small tree and straddled limb.
From this conspicuous position he con-
tinued to sound the vibrant call to the
charge. Cannon balls and bullets killed
scores of men beneath him and even
tore away branches of the tree in
which he sat. But above the thunder
Of the artillery, the rafting Of mus
kerry and all the din of strife the shrill
music, blown with all the power of the
little fellows lungs, rose unceasing.
Colonel Rennie and most Of the regi-
mental officers fell, mortally wounded:
the shattered ranks began to fall back,
But the bugler still blew the charge
with undiminished vigor.
At last when the British had en-
tirely abandoned the field, one Of the
American soldiers ran out from the
lines. took the youngster prisoner and
brought him into camp. Great was the
boys establishment when. instead of
treating him roughly, according to his
expectations. the warm hearted south
ern soldiers. who had observed his gal
lantry with admiration, actually Nen,-
braced him. Officers and men Wed

ORIGIN OF QUARANTINE.
Or, Richard Mead's Action During the
plague of 1921.

Or, Richard Mead's Action During the
Plague of 1921.
To DIR. Richard Mead. who was in
consultation at the deathbed Of Queen
Anne and became physician to George
l., was due the credit of having first
established quarantine.
In 1921. when the plague ravaged
Marseilles and its contagious origin
was discredited, DR.. Mead declared the
plague to be "a contagious distemper,"
and quarantine was enjoined. He
also proposed a system of medical po-
lice, which finds its counterpart In the
health officers of today. 1t was he
who declared, "As nastiness is a great
source of infection. so cleanliness is
the greatest preventative"
He 1t was who said nearly 200 years
ago: IF there be any Contagious Dis
temper in the Ship the Sound men
should leave their Cloaths. which
should be burnt. the men washed and
shaved and. having fresh Cloaths.
should stay In Lazaretto that is.
thirty to forty days. The
reason for this is because Persons may
be recovered from a Disease them
selves and vet retain matter of Infec-
ton about them a considerable time"
In practice Mead was without RI
val, his receipts averaging for several
years between 10000 and $1,000, an
enormous sum in relation to the value
Of money at that period. He possessed
a rare taste for collecting But his
books, his statues, his medals were
not to amuse only his own leisure
The humble student, the unrecom-
mended foreigner, the poor inquirer,
derived as much enjoyment from these
treasures as their owner. At his table
might be seen the most eminent men
Of the age. Pope was ready guest,
and the delicate poet was sure to be
regaled with bis favorite dish Of
sweetbreads.

FREEZING WATER.
Conditions That Cause the Bursting or
Cracking of Ice.

Cracking OF Ice.
Ice never bursts from freezing. As
soon as the liquid of which 1t is COM
posed is frozen solid expansion ceases
The cracking or bursting of ice Is
brought about in this way: When wa
ter is subjected to extreme cold Ice
crystals will gradually form on Its sur
face until the same are covered with
thin coat of what appears to be wet
snow. From this outer coating or Ice
CRYSTALS all subsequent freezing goes
downward. the ice thiclSening accord
ing to the degree of cold. The water
which is being converted into Ice now
begins to expand, creating a pressure
upon the unfrozen water below. rms
pressure is both downward and out
ward, and in case the water under OBJ
servation is in a vessel the sides and
bottom Of the receptacle supply the re-
sistance.
AS the freezing process continues the
pressure upon the confined water and
air In the interior of the bulk increases
until something yields. II the vessel
be stronger than the ice stratum that
has formed over the surface the layer
Of ice will be bent upward at the Gen.
ter, that being the weakest point. on
account of the fact that the outer
edges of the CONCEALED mass are frozen
fast to the sides Of the vessel In which
the experiment is being made. In this
condition the center Of the ice contin-
ues to rise or bulge until 1t bursts
from the resistance of the water below.
Could the vessel be tapped from below
and the water drawn off no amount OF
freezing would be sufficient to crack
or bulge the ice layer on the surface.
