Clarence Berry, the old Eldoradc
king, who recently visited his
ing properties in the C'rcle district,
upon his return to Dawson report
ed to the Dawson News haying re
ceived a telegram a short time ago
from the coast stating that the *£i'
tation fo- alt) for the gold mining
industry ^ad resulted in th® A
mericsn sovernment deciding thai
equipment tor such mining was ne
cessary and to give it preference.
This means, Mr. Berry said, that
the gold miner will be permitted to
secure the material necessary for
carrying on his industry. This mean;
a good deal, as in many industries
the government has been in the
practice of commandeering or seiz
ing any machinery it desired, regard
less for what purpose or for w-hom
it was ordered. M r. Berry also
said:
"This arrangement to see that
the gold miner be allowed* the ma
terial required is quite a help, and
without it we would be much em
barrassed. out there might be a good
deal more done to assist the gold
miner at this time. I am glad to
see that 'he AiaskanS are moving
in the matter and that the Ameri
can government is endeavoring to
solve the problem. The interest
manifested by the federal officials
is encouraging. I>awson, being vi
tally interested in gold mining,
might tsko up the matter now witl
advantage with the Canadian goverri
men i.
"My dredge in the Circle district
is working well and is in good pay
it is eoing over ground previously
workrd oy the old' method, and is
Johig weil. The Circle hydraulics
also are doing well. But it must be
remembered that gold has lost its
yurchasiug power, and that an ounc
of gold will buy only half what 't
did before the war. The gold min
er is badly handicapped."

Wizard Weber's Wonderful
Garden of Glorious Dahlias
Mr. and Mrs. Fred J. Weber are
conducting a horticultural exhibit,
or flower show all by themselves
this year, and those who have not
visited the Weber gardens during
the Dast few days have certainly
missed one of the most wonderful
floral displayes that has ever oc
curred in Skagway, and it might not
be telling an untruth to say in the
world.
In the Weber garden there are
today seventy tnree varieties of
dahlias. There are 80 plants, and J
this does not include the other fo- ;
Hage, shrubs or blooming plants.
> One of the dahlia "trees" stands
more tnan ni.-.e feet tall, while tha
writer counted twenyt-slx full blown!
blossoms on one other plant ex
1 elusive of numerous buds.
Enteric the gate to the garden
from the Seventh avenue entrance*
the visitor steps onto a carpet of
grass forming a most beautiful fore
ground fox the riot of color which
greets kis gaze as he turns the
corner of the cozy home of these
tw0 flower lovers. From that time

iwilderment and amaze.

"How much did you figure it

"Well, I suppose it would have
cost $30,000,000' to $60,000,•

arranged that America would never

"It would have been cheap at the

they looked at a stout, short individ

"Thinks he's the Little Corporal,

"Yes; he's had that hallucination

LITERARY FOLK KEEP BUSY
English and American Men of Letters
Faithfully "Doina Their Bit" to
Help Win War.
Here Is some gossip about literary
folk as condensed by a New York
writer:
"Rudyard Kipling Is 'doing his bit*
as director of propaganda In England.
Phyllis Bottome, author of The Dark
Tower* and other novels, Is now Mrs.
Forbes Dennis, wife of an officer In
the British army. A one-story adobe
shack In Austin, Tex., the home of
O. Henry's now famous journalistic
venture The Rolling Stone,' was re
cently demolished to make way for
modern progress In the shape of a tele
phone building. Five stories by John
Galsworthy, who recently refused the
honor of knighthood offered him by
the British government, have been pub
lished under the title of 'Five Tales.'
'I would rather entrust the moral char
acter of my boy to the camps than to
any college or university I know,' says
Joseph H. Odell In The New Spirit of
the New Army,' a recently published
book describing the life at the camps
and the effects of military training on
our young men. The Hundred Best
Gaps' is the felicitous title Sir James
Barrle gave to his letter calling upon
authors and book collectors to make
one marked gap each In their shelves
for the benefit of the British Red
Cross. Barrle himself gave the orig
inal manuscript of The Little Minis
ter.' " . ,
Patriotic Mother Canny.
When, a few months ago, one of onr
troop ships was torpedoed there were,
of course, many worried mothers. One
of them received a cable message teii
ing her of her eon's rescue, and was
naturally much relieved. But this cable
was followed almost Immediately by
another asking for money by cable.
The mother of this lad was rather
puzzled by the message, as Bhe could
not tell If It was genuine or not 8he
did not wish to risk sending a com
paratively large amount of money to
an lmposter, so she hit on the plan
of sending a return message asking
the sender of the first cable to cable
the name of the family's two dogs;
names which would only be known to
a member of the family.
The answer with the right names
came at once, and the son received
the money. He has been boasting of
bis mother's cleverness ever since.
This Swindler Up to Data.
Thought reading was the method
claimed to have been employed by a
man in Bengal, India, to win large
sums of money on the race course. It
turned out to be a very ingenious form
of swindle. Finding a man who is in
terested In racing, the confidence man
produces a roll of money, and states
that he won this by his fore-knowl
edge of the winners on the track. He
then suggests that his friend test his
knowledge. He induces his victim to
hand him sums of money to be placed
on the horses, and then vanishes. In
vestigation has proved that this Ben
gall had swindled a number of peo
ple of large sums of money In this
way.
Macbeth'a Death Place Given City.
Belmont castle, the scene of the final
struggle between Macbeth and Macdutf
when Macbeth was slain, has been giv
en to the city of Dundee by its owner,
Mrs. Marryat, who inherited a large
fortune from her brother, Sir James
Caird. The castle, which is located 17
miles from Dundee, was once the home
of the British premier, Sir Henry
Campbell-Bannerman. The property
includes 900 acrea of park land and Is
valued at $2,000,000.
