All Saloons Gone
Yukon Territory
Only Hotels Can Sell Liquor Now in
the Once Wild Dawson

DAWSON, July 21. - This is the
last day of the saloon in Dawson and
the Yukon Territory. The law which
was passed by the Yukon council last
year providing for the abolition of the
saloon throughout Yukon Territory
went into effect today. That means
that the only premises in the Yukon
Territory permitted to sell intoxicat-
ing liquors by retail are hotels, or in
other words, premises which have
accommodations for patrons of the
house to secure meals and lodgings
A large number of licensed hotels
exist throughout the territory, while
there are twenty-four in Dawson.
Two of the old time saloons only
remain in Dawson and have to close
today. They are the NJ. d y. and the
Original. The proprietors of the
Original will remain in business in
Dawson by taking over one of the old
time First avenue hotels with bar at
tached.
The Arctic saloon, on Craig street,
is being converted into a hotel.
The law passed at the session of
the Yukon council last month, short
ening the hours during which it shall
be legal to sell liquor at retail in any
licensed premises in this territory
will become effective tonight at mid
night. The law prohibits the sale of
liquor at retail between ~ o'clock
midnight and 6 o'clock in the morning
on all week days, and between y
o'clock Saturday night and 6 o'clock
Monday morning. The wholesale
houses must close at 7 p. m. Satur-
days and remain closed till 6 a. nj:
Monday, and must close on week days,
the same as retail houses.

Kills Self In
Horrible Manner
AT Mile 81

Peter Skembos, a man about 25
years of age who was of Greek ma
tionality although born in Turkish
territory, committed suicide yesterday
at Mile "a in the most horrible man
ner. He was employed as "bull" cook
in the railroad gang of which Engi-
neer Munro is in charge and for the
past few days had been acting in a
manner that indicated demehtia
Some Of the people in the camp had
intended to send information 10 the
authorities but the matter was not
attended to. At noon yesterday as the
men were at dinner Skembos went
outside the tent to the back into the
brush and when the time came to call
him to dinner a search was made. He
was found lying in the brush dead and
disemboweled and with a great
butcher knife still in his hand. He
had evidently driven the knife into his
stomach and turned it around ano
around to make sure. The eut.ails
were hanging out, and a most strange
part of the affair is that he had evt-
IDENTIFY raised his shirt to let the knife
reach his body without obstruction.
This is borne out hy the fact that the
shirt was not cut. The body was
brought to the city last evening and
an inquest was held by Commissioner
Ennis. The jury consisted of j. C..
Tolman, w. p Henry, Bernie HetteI,
AL Peel, w. Allen and Charles Craw-
ford. The verdict was that he had
met death by his own hand Skembos
came to Alaska last April and is sup
posed to have some sisters and broth
ers living either in the States or the
old country. Papers found in his
clothing show that he had once been
in the restaurant business in San
Francisco. He will be buried here.

G.. A. p. ENCAMPMENT AT
KANSAS CITY IN AUGUST
MAY BE THE LAST

Especial to Gateway by United Press)
KANSAS CITY, Mo, August 3
Twenty thousand veterans of the
Grand Army of the Republic will
mobilize here August % for the
fifteenth national encampment. The
fact that this will be the golden jubil-
ee reunion, that it may be the last
great encampment and that it will be
the first in this section of the country
in many years may send the crowd of
visitors to 125,OOO.
While the young blood of the coun-
try is mobilized on the Mexican bOrd-
er, the "boys of 81" who fought to
save the union will gather here for
what promises to be the final review.
When the grey-haired and stopped
veterans pass in review, few are eX-
pected to march. With the armies of
today thoroughly motorized, the old
men who wear the bronze button will
not feel that it is a disgrace to pass
in review in automobiles. Kansas
City will furnish the motor cars.

IMPORTER SUES
GOVERNMENT FOR $S7845

OTTAWA, August IA case to be
heard in the exchequer court shortly
will test the legality of orders-in-
council passed between 1900 and 1914
authorizing the collection of certain
taxes in addition to the customs and
excise taxes on liquors and wines i'm
ported into the Yukon. Under these
orders-in-council an extra tax of 81
was collected on liquors and so cents
on wines.
Robert Lowe, an importer of liquor
at Whitehorse, is suing the govern
ment for the sum of $S7S45 which he
has paid in taxes on the ground that
the orders-in-council are ultra wires
of the Yukon Territorial Act. He
wants all his money back with inter-
est. The justice department is dis
putting Mr.. loves claims.-Dawson

CAR TO MEET THE
ANCHORAGE TEAM

A car has been secured to go to Mile
50 to meet the Anchorage ball team
and bring it here. The latest dope on
the Anchorage bunch is that they
have a pitcher who formerly pitched
for the Seattle nine. He, it is said,
has been in Anchorage a few weeks
and is described as a good one. His
name is Mills or Mails or something
like that. But, whatever Anchorage
has up its sleeve Seward has nothing
but a bunch of boys who will do their
darndest to win.

Hughes ROasts
The Democrats
In Seattle Says Administration Has
Not Kept Country From War.

SEATTLE, August 9-m a speech
here last night Charles +. Hughes,
candidate for the presidency attack
ed the Democratic administration
ticrcely. He described it as extrava-
giant and vacillating and asserted that
it had not kept the country out of war
but had fought an ignominious war in
Mexico and from this ignominious war
had ignominiouSly withdrawn tie al
so charged that the administration
had brought the nation much nearer
to a participation in the European
war than would have been necessary
if the Democratic government had
stood for American rights" One
striking phrase of the speech was that
it is no more possible to expect tariff
protection for American industries
from a Democratic congress than it is
to get revival sermon from a dis
orderly house" The crowd cheered
the speaker again and again and, as
might be expected in such hotbed of
RopubGoanisnn NIr Hughoo received
generally wonderfully enthusiastic
welcome.

CHECK THAT
ECZEMA BEFORE
GETS SERIOUS

That little patch Of eruption may be
nothing more than slight annoyance
now. But, If neglected. such things
have an uncomfortable way Of spread
ing and becoming really serious-turn-
ing into itching. burning skin troubles
that make life almost unbearable.
So don't take chances. Nip it in the
bud with few simple treatments with
Resinol. Usually the first bathing
with Resinol Soap and dressing with
Resinol Ointment stop all itching, and
soon the irritation is entirely cleared
away. Doctors have prescribed Resi-
mol for over 20 years, so that 1t is not
an experiment, but remedy Of proven
value All druggists sell Resinol ONT
ment and Resinol Soap. But II you
want sample Of each, free. write to
