John McCrImmon and Donald Me- Qumr. two oak-rlbbod. ron-bound veterans from Clengarry. are iu town today getting a breath of mct- uopoutan ozone gays the Dawson News of recent date. They are both veteran proapectors of Che old Camiar digglngs. and hove spent many years in tho Klondl.o Mr. McCrImmon first crossed into the watershed. via Che head of Francis iako and Che Polly In 1872. or lS years ago. Today he ia as hardy os a youngstcr. and. despite his 67 years. is getting ready to 60 to work on Hunkor creek on Che points at thc .hieh potential end of @ sleige ham- mor next month. John was there iaat summer. and was whale at Che business and nys ho enjoys it immensely. Donald has boon busy getting out wood this winter. and, despite Che fact that ho has seen morelhan 70 snows. cut 900 cords. and has it ready for hauling and now is sinking a deep hole through fho adamantfuo frost to bedrock on Gold Bolton creek. Despite their years. these two native sons Of Glen- garry keep hard at work. summer and winter. and say they never are SO happy as when actively engaged. During their long careers as pros ooctou and miners they have cone
 rlbutod hundreds or thousands to Che gold yield Of the world, and promise to run up the grand total many more notchcs before they pull stakes for Che last grand stampede. with more such virile blood Yukon would get ahead much faster.
 "Yes." said Mr. McCrmmon yes- torday "Donald and ! have had a busy winter and we intend 10 keep busy next summer.

OUR WARRIOR CLASS

With Judge Wickcrsham charging all
 inds of fraud in the election of Charles A.
 ulzcr as delegate in the contest between e and George B. Gugsby; a threatened 8olsbcvik uprising worrying officials of lc State Department, and different Alas ans calling each others liars in the steam lp hearings. there is regular Alaskan mcc-rugcd circus on just at present at ac capital of the nation We sometimes biuk that thc lawmakers of the nation would be rather glad if the BolsheviH or ome ouc clcsc would annex Alaska so that .bcy would not be bothered so much.
 Itisa dull day in Congress when some olmary delegate from either below or ,bovc hc Arctic Circle does not blow m gud want concession to raise ice worms t ChIds Glacier or to get a lease on the North Pole to raise musk oxen for the musk. Everyone is attempting to regulate Alaskan affairs or to get something out of Congress for Alaska OF something out of Alaska for Congress.
 Each year the delegate contest is on and ,hc contestants exchange pet names with each other
 In view ol an these facts and the sam nlcs of Aassaus that Congress and official Washington has had am opportunity to eN- amino. we arc mot surprised that they were prepared to believe that the Territory was threatened with a Bolshevik uprising It is strange that they did not imagine the people were mot killing each other off in jrovcs
 Fortmccjifcation of Congress we might say that it is thc fighting men who go to Washington They either go there volm- miIy or arc sent to fight for something. The av-abijug citizens stay at home and look after tbc development of che Territory. Wc don't want to hc judged by our official and unofficial representatives. They are Gkcthc o.d warrior race used to be in Japan
 just trained lor fighting Congress will agree with us m saving that they are etfec- tive fighters and usually get results when they go to Washington asking for some thing

MAY BE PART FISH

The Juneau Capital has a "mcrc man ' u captivity over there with which one sided conversations are held. We once paid quarter Co see a mermaid comb her golden hair. After parting with our quar- ter-wbcu quarters were worth something -wc were admitted Go a large room where, ou a table. was the much moth-eaten upper works of monkey. Scwed to the monkey was thc tail of long dead king salmon
 X ussy-yoiced lecturer with a pointer in his hand. was pointing out the remark able resemblance between the anatomy of tac monkey to a human being and saying -lat Inc "mc,maid" was captured by ish- eueu ou the coast of lower California. He claimed that the .memaid' died in cap- ryiu and had been preserved as one of the wonders of the known world
 Kid-Gkc. we were rather disappointed in not seeing the mermaid running the sil- yer comb through her long golden locks, as tbc big paintings ou the outside of the building had advertised
 With the thoughts of the great big two- b,t piece from which we had been separated ,o ,cc tbe mmiicd remains of a monkey and ,bc motive power of a king salmon. we naturally let out a holler We called for our money back. In fact we demanded it. As our fighting weight at that time was just about half what it is now, we lost out and as the husky-voiced lecturer said m answer to our statement that it was a fake.

Another sturdy young Alaskan passed away when Alvin Goldstem died in Ju- ucau on the night of March 30. He was known and liked an over this part of Alas ka. He came of pioneer family ywho were real Alaskan trail blazers and he himself had shown that he was of the stuff that real men are made. Perhaps mo death in recent years in Southeastern Alaska has caused such wave of sorrow to sweep over this portion of the Territory as the passing of this young man. The people of Douglas Island mourn with his family over their loss.
