Tom Lawson is Glv°n an Expen
sive Jolly by an Early Morn
ing Visitor
Torn Lawson, he of the Seal
tie Hotel bar and the Big Place,
after leaving Valdez, hied himself
away, to the bay city, where he
^eventually drifted into the saloon
business. Tom was doing quite
well in his new venture and was
also the owner of one safe in
which it was his wont to stow
away his spare jingle. On the
14th day of July, a date Tom will
not soon forget, ho came to the
saloon to open up, and as the door
yielded to his effort he was greet
oil willi a cheery "<Sood morning,
jour careless bartender locked me
in las| night while I was asleep
in a back room," *aid a well
dressed young man to Thomas
Lawson, when I he latter opened
his saloon yesterday morning.
The young man bought a drink,
accepted Lawson's apologies, and
stepped out. Lawson discovered
a few moments later that his safe
had been blown and $300 taken.
The well-dressed young man had
forced his way in and dynamited
the strong box.

DREDGE OPERATORS
FOR OPEN SHOP
At the annual meeting of the
A. D. (). association at the Gold
en Gate hotel, with all the dredge
companies represented, excepting
one, resolutions were passed de
claring that the district shall be
open lo all labor-that union la
bor shall have no preference over
non-union labor. This organiza
tion was formed two years ago and
has grown until its membership
now includes all dredge operators
on the Seward peninsula, and is
for the sole purpose of bettering
conditions and securing needed
regulations.-Nome Nugget.
President Taft's Wisdom.
President Tnfl lias formally an
nounced (hat ho will no!, make,
any extended trips or do atiy cam
paigning this fall, declining to
make a personal canvass of tho
country for votes at the Novem
Ler election.
The president evidently l«
learning by experience. In the
last year he has visited nearly ev
ery slate in the Union in his cam
paign for renominatjon. and In
practically every Republican stftte
he visited, where opportunity was
later given to the Republicans to
express themselves at the primar
ies, he has been rejected by the
voters of his own parly. Doubt
less he will stand a better chance
in November if he remains at
Washington during the campaign.
The committee in charge of tho
tickets issued for the benefit game
of base ball played last Sunday
report thnl $13i.rt0 has been turn

Considering the status of the po
litical barometer President Tafl
'jould well dispense with the lat
ent canes of abandonment in his
official family.

"The vegetation appeared to he

lieve sufficient grass will come up
this year to support slock and
game; but on my return two
weeks later everything was green
again and apparently in good
shape, and if the report that the
ash contains a large percentage
of potash and lime he true, the
soil should be more fertile in the
future than it has been in the
past. It is these two constituents
in the soil that are most essen

to be supplied by the farmer on
the run down farms in the east

"The sanitary conditions in and
