one of the latter and he went to worl
for the Wiegand brothers on No. IS

known here as a lease-from their
cousin, saltwater Bill. Lang, or
Dutch Bill, as We called him. was
about the Dutchiest Duchman who
ever ate kraut. For mouth he said
"mouk" and for Hunker creek he
said Hounkger griek, and numerous
ether expressions When the VIE
eands itehed him about his Dutchy
talk he explained at length that some
years before al Seattle he had had
a fight With another big German
who had "troke his chnp." For that
reason he retained his brogue.
Bill was always telling about an
other German in Dawson, also named
Bill, who had him in his power and
could make him dance or stand on
his head or do anything that the
second Bill took a notion to demand,
1t was in Canada where guns are
tabooed and gun-packers put in Jail.
But the second Bill, according to the
story told by the first one always car
ried a gun and on an instant's no.

him. He never went to town and
came back without telling of some
new beating up or other ~atrccity
that the second Bill had visited on
him. He would have the evidence.

Our acquaintance with Lang,
ignorant as he was, seems trivial in a
way. but nevertheless it might have
been momentOus in the lives of all
of us had we recognized that in a
few of his words Miss Opportunity
was knocking at our door, only we
did not invite her in. We put Bill
down as a crazy Dutchman and paid
slight attention to most of the things
he said. One of the things he told
US several times was that a great
strike had been made on the coast
a couple of hundred miles north of
the "mouk' Of the Yukon It was
then the fall of '9S and he said he
knew about it through some other
German who told him. The first word
thar came up the Yukon in the spring
of '99 told Of the new camp of Nome,
and IL we had taken Bills word for
it and rushed down there, 1000 miles.

ice, as many did n year later, we
could have been in on the best there
was on Anvil and Icic,e creeks and
the beach diggings. I will bet a
thousand to one right now, if there
is anyway of proving 1t, that our lit
tie group of laymen on group 13 be-
low Upper, and myself, their dog
team freighter possessed all the
knowledge there was in the whole
Klondike population of $4,000 souls,
in the fall of '9S, of the discovery of
Nome, yet we refused to believe it
because crazy Dutch Bill told it to
us, along with a lot of his other mon.

every six months or SC, but he
never burned any of mine, for l was
always able to make a borrow before
I left town and take them up. But
all that has to do with Dutch Bill is
the fact that ii was a part of every

whole-hearted Klondike? I only wish
I could have the opportunity all over
again, on the identical street corner
OF Dawson. If it would do any good
toward bringing it back I would loan
Dutch Bill another $1.75 in that
self-same spot, or for that matter

116,O80 Fords Sold in February
Shortest Month Breaks All Records

With 116,080 Ford cars sold at
retail in Februay, a new sales record
for the shortest month in the year
has been established. February
sales exceeded those of January by
more than 5000 and marked the
eleventh month in which Ford sales
have topped the 100000 line.
This sales record bears out pre-
dictions made at the opening of the
year that can acute shortage in Ford
cars is certain and this shortage is
expected to be felt within the next
two months with the increased vol
ume of car buying which is always
attendant upon the spring months.
Even the high production sched-
ule set by the Ford Motor company's
facotry at Detroit, which will reach
5000 cars and trucks a day about
April 1, will be unable to meet the
apparent demand for Ford products.
