YUKON WOLVERINE

A curious accident recently hap pened on the Little Twelye-mile, on the Klondike river, four miles above the hay ranch, says the Dawson News. The story will surprise many a trapper and hunter. It is that of the action of a wolverine. It appears a wood chopper who is well known was over his trap line when a wolverine appeared at the cabin and, finding no one around, started to hunt around. The first thing b found Ras 8 Back and half Of flour. This not being up to his taste he threY it all over the place. Then he found few dishes, and threw them into the fire, Not, being satisfied with that he took down a rifle which was loaded and pu+ i. into the fire, stock first, and left it till it was b hot and then 1t exploded. An, this was the fatal act, 1t killed the foolish MT. WolV- erine. When the wood-chopper ap- pea1ed he found everything, even the bunk, covered with flour, sour dough and pea soup. In fact, it was a frightfII state and everything was ruined, even the heels of the socks. The man of the cabin, on investigation returned a verdict tha the animal met his death by putting the rifle into the fire and staying in front of it till it exploded4
 When skinned the wolverine was found to be shot through the hear Tie skin measured feet z 3-4 in.

The disturbance referred to above will be distinctly remembered by the old timers, especially in this sec ton of Southeastern Alaska. For three weeks the earth quaks econ tipra,l and the people were kept in e partial state of terror. Many of the shocks were of such nature that if the cities had possessed large buildings, these would have been demolished. As it was many two story structures were damaged by the grounds frequent and severe vibrations. The natives for days were panic stricken. The shocks ceased as suddenly as they began.
 Various disturbances were report ed at that time along the coast, islands to the westward disappear ing and tidal waves being reported.

 On January [, the new executive committee was organized, and the names of men who are closely con uectsd with matters pertaining to the Great Northland and thoroughly ccuversaut with it's conditions and needs are to be found in the bu- reaus personel.
 Three years ago this body was in strumental in bringing to the north members of the Chamber of Com cree ct several of the Pacific Coast, and Q this educational excursion is due much of the needed legisIa- ton which has been enacted for the bettermeut of conditions of the uyr-h.
 Skagway should continue its Commercial club, and the calls re- cgutiy made by its secretary should Le responded to. Once each year fer several years past the business men cf Skagway have enthusiastical ly met and "re-organized' and that IS the last Uf it. At the re- organization president and sec retary are elected, and from that time ou the secretary is left to do all the work, and he is even expect ci to foot the bills. Now this is neither business like TOT is it pulling tos5rner. While it would appear that We would be somewhat handi- capped by lack Of numbers, still if inc majority Of the business men were closely associated, and firmly or-aaizcd, the assistance of the New Seattle Chambers Alaska Bu- rgau would lend us is assistance in all matters where it might be of beua.t, whenever it was called up on to do so.
 zach town in Alaska that has progressed, owes its advancement to efforts set forth by an organized as sociaIon Of its business men, and mucu Of the late improvement work that has been and will continue to be of benefit to Juneau, Valdez CCrJgya. Fairbanks and other pro- grcssiye Alaskan cities, is due to t&e effort put forth by the respect i've civic organizations.
 There is much to be said in fay or of the work done by the Skag- way Commercial club, and not one word against it. Let us then for goodness sake, get together and form an alliance with each other as business men, and then combine with the Seattle Alaska Bureau for tho purpose of strengthening our resources in the north. It only by this method that We can hope to secure for us here in Skagway as sis;auce from the Federal govern meut and the expenditure of a DOT tiuu Of the funds which have been appropriated fer use in Alaska.
