In those days many people manage

business and pleasure. Be you q far

But with the increased usage of
cars comes the increased RESPONSE

drive it. A car driven by an irrespon-

Yukon's Opportune Season

Dawson News)
 This is the season of opportunity m fuhoh ,thin tie sun is on the back track from Summer ana wlthln a few weeks problems for the Winter must be faced
 The man who is foot loose should begin to lay his plans now. Nearly every able ooaiea man ah en should have enough saved from his wages to give him a grubstake for the Winter.
 It is an easy matter to dssipate that grubstake to no advantage even before the ice chokes the river It Is just easy to buy prospecting outfit or a trapping outfit with the money and to get into the hills. s - The wise man will hesitate to capitalize his Winter days He do in this country by pur- chasing picks shovels and pans or traps and snow shoes, and moderate quantity of food and clothing
 The who lies idle in the cabin in town all Winter is of service to himself or the country during that period In the hills he has the great busy prospecting or trapping than If idle, and he will have an appetite which will be the envy of po- tentates and putocrats
 For there await the great pr1Zes Whlch nature has secreted in her pockets For all there is the eternal joy of the doing. It has been proved again that it is not the having of the gold or the rich furs half much it is the joy of pur suit of the which constitutes the real happi- Occupation, after all, is the chief purpose on this earth. Where, then he find occupation half so congenial in this God-blessed realm amid the free and far flung hills and wales of Yukon?
 Some may leave the Yukon for the Outside hoping for easier paths. Those who nurse this dream must remember that in the old centers is ever the massed population the tense and selfish struggle for exis- tence, the gassy stare and the rotary eye for the stranger Even there friend strives against friend, and it's dog eat dog.
 Yukon gives every chance, holds every law abiding in equal esteem, entertains tra- dtons of rotten prejudice of caste, the snob and exalts every man who will peal his coat and play the game.
 Wonder is industrial upheaval, here calm and pros perity; wonder uncertainty here the assured future wonder the limited field, here the region of unbound ed opportunity.
 This is the land this is the place and this is the time Preparedness for the Winter will open the way. Entries are open to all. Make ready.

Senator Brandeeee flourished copy of the London Times of July 4th which contained a copy of the treaty and declared that he it through private channels, but declared than another copy of the Times could not be secured in this country through love money, permitting the inference that the American Government had suppressed the Times of that date to prevent the American people from reading the treaty.

recall one man who applied for a
position as foreman Of the section
gang with which he was employed.
BE was refused because he could
not read or write. He heard of a
moonlight school being open in the
county. Within three weeks that
man made his application in writing
to the railroad company and was
given the position. The explana-
ton of this rapid acquiring of the
ability to read and write to some
degree is that adults have so much
more desire to learn than have chill
dren. These illiterates have known
what it is to be without that knowl-
edge, and they are so eager to get
away from just making their
