was accepted by the county with that
understanding. The county through
its legal agents have been at work
four years getting ready for the cree
ton of the hospital They have NOV
ed buildings and erected new ones.
They have secured at much expense
a splendid water supply.
"A good piece of timber has been
sold and the money gone into the
county treasury. For four years the
proceeds from the cultivation of this
great farm including the production
of much dive stock have gone into the
county treasury. Now, to consider for
a single moment turning this farm
and the $4,000 in bonds back to the
generous donors. it seems to me would
be moral and legal dishonor, and I dc
not believe that the county commits

be guilty of such an act"

 YUKON LONG MISSING

Con Van AIystyne, Veteran Pioneer Believed to Have Fallen Into Pros
 pect Hole or Before Beasts.
 Dawson, Yukon Territory, Aug. 10. Posses led by United States Mar shal Powers today were searching for Con Van Alstyne, veteran Yukon pio- neer, who has been missing for sev- eral weeks He is believed to have fallen into an old prospect hole or to have been killed by wild animals.
 Van Alstyne, sometimes called the unIuckiest man in the Yukon, left his summer camp on Mission creek few weeks ago on a prospecting trip to Eagle, 100 miles north of Dawson:
 He had been searching for gold Tn this region for a quarter of a century. He first attracted attention when he staked the famous claim number 16, Fl Dorado, in Klondike camp. Be- lieving it poor, he exchanged 1t for another owned by Thomas Lippy, who later mined S2,000, 900 from the prop erty and his successor took further fortunes from it.
 While Lippy went to Seattle mul- ti-millionaire, Var Alstyne obtained very little out of Lippy's old claim.
