AGAINST THE VANDALS •
FROM AFAR
When Mrs. Whitney W. Clark of
Fairbanks passed through Dawson
several weeks ago enroute to the
cimt, slie vlBlteil her old cottage
home on ♦h.e hillside, next to Tur
ner Townsend's, and took consider
able pride in putting the fence and
tl't exterior of the building in order
and straightened up the old moose
antlers and the fence, which had
become somewhat delapidated. Mr.
and Mrs. Clark lived there years
ago, before they joined the stam

the cottage, but rented it, and for
some time it was the den of Rob

there ground out two of his books.
Mrs. Clarjt says she will not sell
it at anv time, and has ordered a
little tablet to be erected in front
of the place to designate it as the
liume of Yukon's most widely known
citizen and writer, Robert W. Ser

reading as follows:
While Robert W. Service has
been .on the battle front in France,
playing haadbali with death by
throwing borate from a lacrosse
racquet at the German trenches, a
lot of tourists have been visiting
Dawson and tearing his cabin to
pieces and cutting up the logs for
souvenirs. The big moose head
which hung over the door of the
humble shack near the summit of
the Dawson hill has bean cut to
pieces, and unless the souvenir
huDtcrs are stored the cabin will
soon J>e no more.

to many northerners, who have a
high regard for "Bob" Service, not
