BIG SQUEEZE TAKES PLACE
OK THE DAWSON FRONT
I
The big squeeze took plaoe on the
Dawson front this afternoon at 2:30,
The 'ce which hadJ jammed after
the morning jamboree, got away for
the second heat, and beat it to
ward oioeria for twenty minut
Then it stopped!.
With the five hundred million and
tw . tons of ice, and) forty billion
gallons of water, and nine Tiundred
thousand cords of driftwood; forcing
the wedge, the big offensive was irr
sistlble. It smashed things.
The huge barge which was lying
iii front of the Northern Navigation
wharf was forced completely unler
the wharf, and tilted at a pitch of
forty-five degrees, with the offshore
side down, and the inshore side bo
hign that one corner crashed
through the walls of the N. C. boiler
house, wnere the big plant had up
full steam. The barge halted when
the corner of it was less than ttwq
feet from the side of the boiler. A
trifle more, and* the big boiler, prob
ably I he largest in the city would
have been turned topsy turvy.
The same ice pack which put the
oar-'e beneath the wharf cutt away
the piling from under the N. N.
wharf thirty feet back from the
front, and let the wharf collapse,
and drop several feet. It possibly
will 'all much farther when the
r'ver falls and the ice moves out
and leaves no support Where the
Dlles are broken.
A large portion of tthe barge is
oinned under the wharf, and the in
cline on which, the conveyor was
located for the lifting of freight
was carried away, but tthe material
Is w*tbin reach.
The corner of the N. N. Wharf
where the b'Vrge made the dTive i»
lifted so that a wide space of the
flooring is raised, and much of the
waji smashed. The Yukon Gold had
a large steel derrick located on the
outer southerly edg£ of the wharf
until this morning. When it was
seen what damage the first run of
•ce had done, amd that further dam
age was threatened', the company
wisely had the derrick removed.
A large gang of men, with several
teams, was put to work, and only
an hour or two before the second
smasri came had af], the material off
the wharf. <-IWIPHP

Hydraulic Work#
Now Working
Full Blast
Dawson, May 10.—The first hy
draulic •work of the season has
started on Last Chance creek, where
several individual minors are mak
ing a splendid showing. The big
hydraulic plants of the Yukon Gold
on Bonanza, and! of the C. K. Al
and ethers on, Hunker benches are
expected' to start any time naw.
Crews are busy everywhere cn the
preparations.
The Yukon Gold expects water
any time now efficient to start its
power plant on the TweTvemile,
and also to supply the hydraulics.
When the plant starts some of the
dredge s Will be given the Juice
immediately, andi Will begin tear
ing u'» the gravels of ages.
The Last Chance operators prom
ise to be big producers and to con
tribu'e heavily thia Jreiir to the
C3mps' goldl output.
Commencing at the head' of the
creek, the first operators are Do
: lan & Drake, on Treaaiure hill. They
are running two giants.
Ou nine from the mouth. Jack
Day, on the left limit, is runninf
! one giant.
Wlison & Town&end, on Whlt<
[ Channel hill, opposite) seven, are
running one machine.
C. P. Dolan, on the same hill, op'
posite six, is working four .monitors
William Scouse, on Dago' hill, al
bo is operating one giant.
All the Last Chajico operatori
have lots of water. Owing to &<
much snowi having fallen las t wi
ter, the season for water will be i
good on#.
Eskimos are contributing liberal

wharf and the coal tramway tto
splinters.
A the White Pass wjharf, the
ire broke some of the planking and
hit the northerly oorner a damaging'
blow this morning, and' this after
noon did further damage, but not
enough to inn> aiir the wharf from
service. However, much ice was
lodging against the wharf after the
second drive, and the water liadt
nacked up so that the ice was
almost even, with the floor, and
should it rise much more the wharf
may do flooded with ice and debris.
The C. K. M. people had) much
f -'ght, most steel dredge parts,
on the White Pass Wiharf, and im
meJately put a crew of men, with
teams, to work this morning, moving
the material to the street.
In front of the fire hall and along
the street to a point above the ferry
the fce piled high, but did no seri
ous damage. Many small boats
were tossed about like corks. Near
£t. Mary's, th« ice was forced many
fee* un the bluff, almost to the
road, and fell back in a shower.
The ice was so rotten it broke in,
showers of needles. Great crowds
thronged the banks as sooa as the
whisMe blew. — Dawson News, May

HOUSEWORK IS A
BURDEN
Women's lot fe & weayr one at
best. But with backache and other
distressing kidney ills life indeed
becomes a burden. Doan's Kidney
Pills have made life brighter for
many women. Read what Mrs. Roll
Coofcston of 1809 E. First Av&,
Spokane, Wash., Bay a: "The grip
out my kidneys out of order and I
suffered with a heavy dmll pain in
the small of my hack which kept
getting more severe. Some days
l could hardly do my work for it
was almost Impossible to bend over.
Aiy kidnes were wieak and an
noyed me a great deal, too., I was
worried because my feet swelled
and because of the puffiness un
der my eyes. One box of Doan's
Kidney Pills gave me relief aad
| atter I had used two boxes I was
feeling fine In every way." (State
ment given October 16, 1915.)
On June 8, 1917 Mrs. Cookston
| saifi1: "I have had absolutely no
j trouble with my kidneys since
J Doan's Kidney Pills cured me and
1 feel better than 1 have in years."
Price 60c, at all dealers. • Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
g:t Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
tha' Mrs. Cook8ton had. Foster

"It's just as if I found 90c," said many people as they cashed
their Liberty Bond Interest Coupons. They've had their first
demonstration of thd rewards of saving, of THRIFT. UNCLE
SAM wants to help you get the Thrift Habit—a habit that will
help you through life. He has issued the W. S. S. You can
start with a quarter. 25c buys a Thrift Stamp, 16 Thrift Stamps
plus 13c buys a W. S. S. In 1923 a W. S. S. is worth $5.00 The
interest is at 4 per compounded quarterly. One of the best
and safest investments possible.
