HAS "DAD'S BOY" BEEN
STIFFING NEWSPAPER >1E.\?
According to a recent issue oi
the Los Angeles Evening Herald,
which contains the following, that
lcipor has taken seriously tho "hot
air" stories of the early days in
Dawson regaled to It by a greater
romancer than Rex Beach, Jack l.ou
dou or Robert Service ever aspired
to be, viz: Jack Eilbeck, or as he
was more familiarly known while
in the north, "Dad's Boy."
Both tho ex-sheriff and his son
Jack were in the Chisana last sum
mer and the way they "roasted" the
whole country when they came e>ut
was a caution, but as It was after
ward pretty well established that
neither of them had stuck a pick
into the ground while there their
opinions were to a great exteut
discredited.
Here's what the Los Angeles (wi
per says:—
"Picturesque as a Rex Beach hero
in his outlook o» life, "Jack" Eil
beck, sheriff for thirteen years in
the Yukon Territory of Canada, is
in Los Angeles for a short time.
"Eilbeck's shrievalty or country
covered 22u,000 square miles and
reached up to the Arctic ocean. It
Included the Klondike, and the
young sheriff, at one time the
youngest in North America, with his
father kept the law in force dur
ing tlu f:*.mous gold rush of 1900.
"Part of the territory I had in my
shrievalty white man never touched
foot in," said Eilbeck today. "Our
country was a natural prison, on ac
count of the cold. At one time for
fifteen days it was 65 below zero.
There were only two ways out, up
river and down. So we could keep
tab on everyone that went in or
cut."
"Eilbeck was president of a mid
night sun baseball league that
played its games at midnight during
the month of June, five contests of
which were within the Arctic circle.
He was a basketball and hockey
player, and, incidentally, took part
iy home talent plays. (
"In his amateur theatrical career
he links Los Angeles with the Yu
kon for he took hero roles opposite
Marjorie Rainbeau when she was
"doing" the far north ten years ago.
Today he said:
"Her company up there wont
broke. Governor Mclnnis of .the
Yukon territory asked me to help
them out. I got a buncl* of boys

together and we rehearsed for her
plays. Wo played 'When We Were
Twenty-one* and 'Tile Texas Steer.'
We made a big stake for Miss Ram
bean, and then she -went out over
the ice,' bat-it home to the States.
Perhaps she won't remember that
now."
"Ellbeck talked of the men who
had written of the north country.
"Hex Reach depicts the Klondike
life as true as it is. I can't speak
too highly of his books. His Alas
kan books are true to life, and so
are those of Robert Service. Rut
Jack London discolors tho life."
"The ex-sheriff camo out of the
frozen land only three months ago.
Last December he joined the gold
snmpetde to tho Chisana. With his
father he drove dogs and pack ani
mals over the terrible "live glac
iers" of the Chisana. Rut the gold
dtd not "pan out."

""Seattle, August 14—"That which
was the backyard of the United
States has become the front ter
race of tlie Pacific," said Professor
h'dmoud S. Meany, sketching for the
students of the University of Wash
ington summer session in his fin
al lecture in the Northwest history
s>eri»s something of the future of
tiio North Pacific cities md coun
try. "Development has come here
in greater measure than elsewhere,
even in America," couUnuei\ Profes
sor Meany, "and it is still to come
on a vaster scale than ever In the
world's history.
"Hawaii, as you will see by rofsr
cnce to the map of oceanic routes,
is the cross roads of tho Pacific.
Midway island, Guam, and Wako aie
the nucleii of other steamship
routes, to" the Philippines, to the
South Seas, to Australia, to China
the awakening anu Japan the awak
ened. All these island centers are
American soil. They furnish the Un
ited States with control of the
Pacific routes of trade.
"It is a thrilling and inspir
ing thought to me that we in Wash
ington are not only at the thr3S
hold of the Pacific, a vantage point
from which we may behold this
development, but we hold a gate—
many believe the best gate—to tha
Pacific and may participate in i he
development which we are to be
hold."
Professor Meany in his last four
lcctures of the summer &es»lote
considered, besides the Islands at
the Pacific, American relutlona with
Central America, the Colombian
treaty, and Mexico. Ha said ha
felt that American control ot tha
purse strings, as guaranteed lu
the Nicaragua protectorate, would
be a check on Central American
revolutionary ardor. He said he
wished the United StateB had not
declimed to arbitrate the Panama
canal tools dispute with Britain.
