DAWSON OUTPUT
 SAME EACH YEAR

The city ot Dawson is rather quiet this year. owing to the fact that many of it's men have gone to the war;" says J, T. Patton, min ing mau from that place. However the production of the camp will be the same as last year and 1t will remain the same for years to come, " he continued. This is due to the tact that mining in Dawson and surrounding country has reached a bed rock foundation and its produc- tioa is now steady" s.-
 Mir. Campbell and Mr. Patton were six days by stage coming from Dawson to Whitshorse, The tenn DerRture was 54 degrees below zero. TOT most of the trip, The stage by which they came made thrsa runs day, each run being 8 distance of .22 miles, At each division four fresh horsea would take the place of these which had just completed a run. Mir. Patton reports the traL as being good and the White Pags service as being excellent and were it not for the cold westh- or the~ would have made much bet ter time.
 The last time MT. Patton was in Skagway was 1S years ago. He was also here in the rush Of 'sS, and was one of many men who mushed 1t over the White Pass. Like others, who were here then, 6a knew sOapy Smith. but be says he was not one of those who got stung.
 In speaking of the prohibition situation in the Klondike country, Mir. Patton said that although the drys lost by three votes, yet their numerical strength is much strong ST than the vets. Many of the drys he said, did not vote at the last election. The prohibition forces in Dawson country had an uphill fight as there Is one saloon for less than every 100 people in tha country.
 Ar. Patton predicts that the next election the Yukon Territory will go dry by 8 big majority. However he saya there ts Q convention meeting now in Ottawa for tue specific pur- pose of asking Parliament, when it conTenes, which is sometime this month, for Dominion wide prohtbi- ton. He thinks that such prohtbi- ton will carry, as all the provinces of Canada are now dry except Que bee.
 Each year, according to MT. Pat ton, the Yukon country Is getting less dependent of the outside. He says they can raise as good Veget- ables ia Dawson as can be found anywhere. Last summer they had bumper crops.
 Both MT. Campbell and Nr. Pat ton will leave tomorrow night on the Sophia to spend the winter on the outside.

WALL STREET Is GAMBLING
 MAD OVER STOCKS

Whs' a merry time the bulls and bears Of Wall street and tue operat- Ors in the Chicago wheat pit have had since Germany QroQosd a con terence Of peace early last week: When the astonishing news was ticked on the tape, every share listed on the New York stock ex- caauge tumbled. Naturally, war brides" took the first, the longest and hardest fall, but sympathetical- lv all other securities to the foot of the list went down.
 IL was the Hyliest day in recent years. Literally the gamblers on the wrong side of the market went crazy in their scramble to unload. Only a small percentage of Hpecu- lators in other cities could reach New York brokers with stop loss orders; the wires of the telegraph and ioug-distance telephone compan ics were inadequate to carry the excessive number of messages. Loss es for the day ran into hundreds of millions. That is to say, the mar ket value of stocks listed on the New York exchange shrank several millions in less than three hours.
 This violent change was wrought by five cabled words: Germany sn Allies propose peace" Spirited comment of Paris and London news papers, reflecting national senti- meut on Germany's prOpOsal, had a quie.ing effect. The stock market s.eaaied, Action of the Russian du ma which rejected the peace pro posaI, enabled the bulls 10 boost the market little. Then Wall street waited to hear from Lloyd George. He spoke A sweQeing ad- vance Of two to five points re- suited instantly. But setback fol lowed, due, as reported in the tele- graphic financial news, to 8 combin tiou of proGttaking, short-selling and iiQuidatoD by Rewilderer in Yestors. Quotations fell back al most to last weeks level.
 Note the word investors" - a mgre euphemism tor gamblers. "SDeculators" would be less mis- leading. To Q man who has really bought stocks for investment the dally fluctuations have no concern. A share in the Union Pacific or Great Northern has the same in- tr;uslc value as it had ten days ago, though the holder could cash in" at a higher or lower price as the case might be.
