WALL STREET IS GAMBLING
MAD OVER STOCKS
»
Wh&' a, merry tima tha bulla aad
b^ars or Wall street and the operat
ors iu th© Chicago wheat pit hare
bad since Germany proposd: a con
icrence of peace sari; last week.
When the astonishing news was
»ic ted oa the tape, every «hare
listed ou the New York stock ex
euange tumbled. Naturally, "war
brides" took the first, the longest
and hardest tall, bat aympathetical
lv all other securities to the foot
of ibe list jvent down.
it was the livliest day in recent
years. Literally the gamblers on
the wrong side of the market went
crazy in their scramble to unload.
Only a small percentage oC specu
lators iu other cities could reach
Now York brokers with stop loss
orders; the wires of the telgenaph.
and ioug-distance telephone compan
i^ were inadequate to carry the
excessive number of messages. Loss
es lor the day ran into hundreds of
in.liions. That is to. gay, the mar
ine* value of stocks listed on the
New York exchange shrank several
milljous in less than three hours.
Tbis violent change was wrought
by five cabled jvords: "Germany an
Allies propose peace." Spirited
comment of Paris and London news
papers, reflecting natiouaj senti
ment ou Germany's proposal, had a
quieting effect. The stock market
steadied. Action of the Russian du
ma which rejected the peace pro
posal, enabled the bulls to boost
the market a little. Then Wall
street waited to» hear from Lloyd
George. JHe spoke.- A swepeing ad
vance cf two to five points re
sulted instantly. But set-b^ck fol
lowed, due, as reported in. tae tele
graphic financial n^ws, to a combin
tion of profit-taking, ehort-selling
and liquidator by bewilderer in
vestors. Quotations fell back al
most to last week's level.
Note the word "investors" — a
Ri«.'re euphemism 'for gamblers.
"Speculators" "would b« less mia
leading. To a man. who ha® really
bought stocks for investment the
daily fluctuations have no concern.
A share in th$ Union Pacific or
Great Northern has the same in
tr:usjc value aji it had ten days ago,
though the holder could "cash in"
at a higher or fbwer price as the
tf'se might be.

DAWSON OUTPUT
SAME EACH YEAR
"The city of Parson is rather
J quiet «hia year, owing- to the fact
that many of its men, have gone to
the war," says J, I, Patton, a min
ing maa from that place. "However
the production of toe camp will be
the same aa last year and It will
remain the same for years to come,"
he continued. "1 hie is due to the
tact that mining iu Dawson, and
surrounding country; has reached a
bed rock foundation, and its produc
tiom is now steady.."
itr. Campbell and Mr. Pat&on
wvre six days by stagy coming from
Dawsou to Whitahorse. The tem
uerature was 54 degree below-zero
ior most of tha trie. The stage by
which they eajne made three runs a
day, each ran being a distance of
23 miles. At each division, four
Xtcsh borsea would take the place
of these which had juat completed
a run. Mr. Fat ton, reports the
trail as being good and tha White
Pass service aa being excellent,
and were it not for the oold weath
ur thev would hare made much bet
tar time.
'me i"gi uus nr. ouuu mw •»
Skagway was 16 {[ears ago. He
waa also tore 1a the rugii of '98,
and was oeq of many men who
mushed it over the White Pass.
Like others, who we fc§re then,
ha knew Soapy Smith, but lis »ays
be was not cms of thos« who got
stung.
In speaking of tha prohibition
situation in the iDondika country,
Mr. Pattoa salt! that although the
Urya los» by three votes, yet their
numerical strength is much strong
er than the W.ots. Many of the dry a
he said, did not vote at the >ast
election. Tha prohibition forces in
DawaoD country had ■an. uphill fight
as there is one saloon for less than
every 100 people in tha country.
Mr. Patton predicts that the next
; election the Yukon Territory will gc
dry by a big majority. However he
says thcrg la a convention meeting
now in Ottawa for the specific pur
pose of asking Parliament, when
it convenes, which is sometime this
month, for Domlnon. wide prohibi
tion. He thinks that such prohibi
ten will carry, as all the provinces
of Canada are now dry except Que
bec.
Each year, according to Mr. Pat
ton, tfc# Yukon country is getting
less dependent of the outside. He
says tney can raise as good veget
ables in Dawson as can be lound
anywhere. Last summer they had
bumper crops.
Both Mr. Campbell and Mr. Pat
'on will leave tomorrow night on
the Sophia to spend the winter on
the ontside.
ALASKA S. 8. COMPANY
MAY BUY TWO STEAMERS
According to jrrivate advices re
ceived from Seattle, 6ays th© Ju
neau Empire on Dec. 28, the Al
a3Ka Steamship Co., may probably
purchase the steamers Beaver and
Rose City. These boats afs now
being operated by the San Francis
♦be California metropolis. At pres
ent the Northwestern, is operating,
under charter, wit& the two steam
ers and i* is very probable that un
less the Northwestern 13 purchased
by the coastwise ooapany, the Al
aska S. S. Co. will take over the
other two steamers and place them
in the Alaska business.

W. V. Condon, 382 "H. St., San
Bernardino, Cal., says: "I thinly
*he Jarring and Jolting of the wag
cn I Tide is what weakened my kid
neys and -raused backache. I could
hardly get on or off the wagon be
cause of ehara pains in. the small
of my back. The kidney secre
