Council sat last evening as a board
o£ equalization at the city hail,
for the purpose of equalizing and
adjusting the valuation of person

the year 1917.
Mayor Howard Ashley presided,
and the other members of the
council acted as interrogators in
questioning the various property '
holders who had been notified to
appear before the board and state
why the valuation of their proper
ty should not be raised.
The more important changes ma<N|
in the estimates vere as follows:
Barney Braich raised from $300
to $500. I 1
Mrs. Hazel Kirmse raised $75. 0
tj. G. Miller from $50 to $100. 1

All those appearing, after gome
questioning, accepted th© increase
suggested by the council and ap
peared to be satisfied, believing
a reduction in the tax levy would
he made in view of the fact that
there will be over $6,000 available

BACK FROM NEW STRIKE
I Dawson Xews, Sept. 2: Quite a
I number of men who stampeded to
| Kitchener, Seymour and tributary
! creeks, back of Selkirk, have return
| (Ml within the last three or four
I days, and some of them are outfit
I ting preparatory to going to the
creeks to spend the winter prospect
ing. Bob Ansley, in the country
before Klondike was struck, oame
down the other day, and fl
eam down the other day, and al
ready has gone back with his win
| ter's outfit. Matt Nunan, Charley
| Gape and one or two others com
prise a party which went up and
I staked, and is back .
Another party which went in
one bunch and has returned to
Dawson included Harry McHenr.v,
Ray He.vdon, George N. Hartley,
William Steinberger, Harry Rich
mond, Josepn W. Kavetzki, and Lit
tle Steve. Several of this party
are preparing to get back to the
creeks for the winter. McHenry an<|
Heydon are planning to get a drill
to take yith them, to drill their
claims during the winter. They
endeavored to get the government
Keystone drill, but it is on Clear
crqek, where it was left when last
used, and it is understood that,
since the last steamer ha« left for
up the Stewart, the drill cannot be
I secured this year.
The men who returned are well
pleased with the prospets, and are
hopeful of it proving a camp, at
' least to the extent that a good1
many intend to spend the winter
there and to spend a good deal of
money in the venture. They report
no one to bed-rock anywhere, but
that many have prospects from
the gravel along the creeks, especial
ly on Seymour. Matt Nunan and
| Harry McHenry are very hopeful. ■
| McHenry brought down some good
I samples of gold, and says that one
and a half to thr^e cent pans were
| secured at various places, and no
one had sunk over five feet. A
I good deal of the ground is wet. !
If the country is not a Payer, Bays '
AIcHenry, he will miss his guess.
Several miles of the main streams
are staged, but miles of ground is
still open, especially on the pups.
Mrs. Hanson, the wife or Lieut.
Hanson, a late arrival at Fort Sew
ard, was a round trip passenger
on the Peterson today and was the
guest of Mrs. Curtis while the
jiboat was in port.
Dr. L. S. Keller will leave for
Whitehorse on Monday for a few
weeks in response to numerous
calls for his professional services.
He will stop off at Carcross en
route for a day or two in order, to
take carq of several urgent cases
which claim his attention.
LIQUID FIRE DOES
HOT DAUNT U,
S. TROOPS
American Training Camp In
France.—The American troops traim
ing in France have just had their
japtism of liquid fire. It was
lot exactly a baptism, but near
inough to the real thing to h<3 de
iidedly impressive. They watched
*'ith eloquent silence a French
iemonstration of what is without
luestion the most dioholical appear
ng form of frightfulnes® which has
;rown out of three years of the
vorld war.
The flame thrower us«d was com
>aratively small, one of the older
nodels, but the rotating stream of ,
ire it Emitted, wi'h great clouds |
if Intense black smoke curling
lundreds of feet in the air, gave
he open-tyed soldiers a who!e
ome idea of what some phases
if modern war are like .
M«k« Joke Of It.
The men, when the first shock of
urjirise at the terrible weapon had
t'orn off, however, began to make
iuniorais remarks and seemed to
in Joy the latter end of the demon
tration with that keen seu_e of
American indifference io danger
vhen it is known just what the
langer is. One soldier convulsed
ll§ hig company by shouting: "Oh,
3o, don't I wish 1 had been better
it Sunday school!"
Another renewed the merriment
jy exclaiming: "Captain, please
;ell me Wlieu the next boat leaves
'or hime," while a third called,
'This sure ain't no place for a ner
rous man."
The demonstration had a two
fold purpose—first, to acquaint
:he men with the character of a
tveapon which could easily terror
ize the uninitiated, and, second, to
teach the means of defense and
self-protection against even the
most fiendish of German flammen
.verfers.
Will Use Own Type
While the* American army ne
cessarily will be equipped with mod
ern liquid fire projectors, both as
i defense and for offense, in order
that it may successfully combat
avery form of warfare practiced by I
the enemy, many of the officers are i
inclined to doubt the effectiveness [
af the weapon in anything more
than purely local operation, such as
\ night raid on enemy dugouts, or [
1 small section of an enemy trench,
rte American fire throwers will
likely be of entirely new design,
calculated to attract little or 110
attention to the man or men carry
ing the instrument, bo that they
can approach close to the enemy
tvorks before becoming shining
marks for hidden snipers.
Successfully used, liquid fire
must be thrown down the wind.
There have already been cases
where the wind lias shifted and the
Oermaus handling the flammenwerf
ers have been found burned to
death in their own fires. Flame
throwers are of very simple device.
A. specially mixed and highly in-'
flammable oil carried in a portable
reservoir is forced by compression
through a hose and out of a long
nozzle, at the end of which is a -
tiny flame that ignites the pass
ing spray. The heat to the man
ipulator is very intense and lie has
to be specially hooded. Some of
the heavier German types require
two or three mn to operate them
md throw flames fifty yards or
more. i
Sergt. Foss of the Garrison was
i visitor in Skagway today while
the Peterson was In port.
Cat>t. Steademan of the S. S. Pet
erson together with Mrs. Steade
man were visitors up town today.

Tides and Storms.
When n tempest is approaching or
>assing out on the ocean the tides are t
loticeably higher than usual, as if the t
rater hail been driven in a vast wave \
lefore the storm. The influence ex- v
ends to a great distance from the cy
lonie storm center. ;-o tlmt the por;sl
lility exists of foretelling t ho approach i
if a dangerous hurricane l>.v means of j
udicatious furnished hy tide gauges ^

ensitive the surface of the sea is to *
