CiOLD DISCOVERY
MutK excitement was caused here
day oefore yesterday by the dis- j
covery of gold In uaying quantities ;
about a half a mile above the ;
town right on tne banks of the
Yukon River. George Burmeister (
made the discovery and after tip- ^
ping U oft to Bob Leslie, " Frank
Hawk and Ben Keldv proceeded to
get busy, panning. The four men
panned out $13.00 in a few pans,
but deciding thia was too slow, put
up a section of » sluice box and I
shoveled in about three wheelbar- j
rows, of dirt from which they clean
ed up $22.00. The geld seems to ,
.come right out of the hill and may
develoD into a big paying proposi- j
tion. It is a well washe' gold j
and ha3 evidently traveled some dis- j
tance. There is much speculation, a
mong mining' men as to where it I
came from and there will no doubt
b© a number of holes put down in
ths immediate vicinity. The old
sayin< that "gold is where you
find it may prove true in this case
and we have another Dawson right
here on the Yukon. It was quite
a sight yesterday to .»see eight or
ten of Ruby's little tots digging
with oenknives around where the
men were working. Each kid came
away with two or tnree pieces of
gold ranging in value from five to
twenty centB.
When the discovery was known
in town quite « stampede took
place and many claims were staked.

Noted Poet Visits Alaska and
Her Heart Goes Out to Skagway
WHEN" SONGS WIIX NOT
BE DREAMS
By Katherin Ward.
If we can weave pure ponga of love.
Upon Life's living loom.
If we can plac0 a Rose of Trust
In Hope's desertpd room
If from the window of our soul
A golden candle gleams
For one alone in sorrow bent
Then songs will not be dreams.
I' in cur tapestry o' grey
A silver thread lives on
Then we may say. Our day ia blest
The day God gave us song.
Copyrig'n
Katharin Ward, tli£ well known
poet of th© New York Glohe, in
making a trip_ to Alaska, has been
a visitor in Skagway for th« past
week.
Miss Ward Is cnairman 01 u>e
New York Press club. Many of her
poems have been set to music, and
several of them have been repro
j duced on Columbia and Victroia
records. She has wr tten the words
and composed the music for "A Per
fect Nnlght," "The iihamrock Ship"
and "Take Your Hat Off to Old
Glory," and a great many of her
word clotures done in verse are
to be found among the latest popu
lar hits. *
Miss Ward is of a sunshiny dis
I position, and she is today advocating
j the production of son^ sentiment for
j the 'vya soing "Over There" which
I will eliminate the heart throbs and
do more to "send them away with
a smile'* and "a promise to wel
come them back when the Hun is
licked." This is somewhat of a
I new departure of thought for her,
! as she has been heretofore of the
"heart throb" school.
In soeaking of Her trip Mrs.
' Murphy, for "Katharine Ward" is
I her pen name, «»id that if «he
! could cause New York to see The
! Garden City as she has Been it,
Skagway would be unable to accom
modate the bords that would flock
here i'or rest and recreation. This
she will endeavor to do, and in
part she describes her trip north
and ner stay in Skagway as fol
lows:
"After seeing the wonders of Yel
Photo Supplies
low Ston« Park and Yosemite Val
ley the trip up the Inside passage
of the Pacific i8 a dream of beauty.
You wind and wind your way thru
scenes of ever changing grandeur,
the Quiet of the vat^rs and the
nearness of the mountain foliage
gives * lover of nature an oppor
tunity to see the co'orlngs of the
wild flowers and tries in their new
formed foliage peculiar to this coun
try. The mountain ash in
crimson flame, the fire weed
which softly cloaks the moun
tain side, is a dream of wonder in
the distance to the travelers' curious
eyes. The abundance of pine and
spruce, here and there a hemlock
tree—the silenco of your mirrored
streams through the whit© pass,
reflecting again in new BPlendor the
beauty of the high peaks,—words
cannot do justice to this picture. I
have 'raveled all over the world and
have never seen anything that com
pares with this reflection in your
AlasKan waters. Tourists who take
nothing but the boat trip make a
great mistake. The accommoda
tions at Skagway are excellent—
the meals and service at the Pul
! l©n Hotel, where I am living is all
that one could ask for and much
more than you anticipate, consid
j erin* the inconvenieces at which
everything is brought Into the coun
I try. We have an idea in New York
' that things are crude and uncom
' fortable, but on the contrary one
j can travel with perfect comfort.
"Here in Skagway, In this grand
ralley the approach to God seems
so near, The sky in its splendor
reflects the beauty of His eyes. The
snowy clouds seem the hem of his
white earments.—Here "He sure
ly mores in a mysterious way—His
wonders to perform." His glory
flamta from sun and star — the
lamps of His heavens cheering the
lonely watches of the night—light
ing for us His grwt mountains in
livinr altars that *11 acclaim the
llvine glory of His name.
From my windows in the Texas
room in the hotel, I seem to be
sitting on the footstool of this
great snow capped mountain, the
glacier in its magnificent setting de
fying the heat of many centuries of
summer suns.
"As we ^ass through the Garden
of the Gods at Colorado Springs,
the ffulde points out to you forma
tions which the hands of time have
mad® In the stones. Here too, the
Bnow spirit not to be outdone has
playfully scrolled with a finger of
ice a ereat angora cat, acrosss the
top of this mountain. A bed of
Alaskan Popples bloom at the foot
of it—whispering waters crossed by
rustic bridges form a never to be
forgotten picture—and when the
sweet bell from the little church in
the ralley calls to prayer, we lift
our hearts like the boy and girl in
Millet's famous picture of the
Angelus in a heart throb of thanks
giving to God for the beauties of
His wonderful world."

The following letter was receiv
ed in the last mall, and as the
writer, Bert Gurr, formerly of
the Royal Northwest Mounted Po
lice, Is well known here the let
ter is printed in full:
Shorncliffe, Kent, Eng., July 12, '18.
Hello Doc,
Just a few scratches to let you
know that the Yukon contingent
I
arrived on this side of the pond O. 1
K. We all left Regina headquar- j
ters. May 31st. 775 of Us In the
draft, the force having been re- '
fruited up to that strength the
latter half of May. Left Montreal, j
Que., June 22. Fifteen vessels
were in the convoy we were in.
Quite a Bight Doc, I can assure
you, to see them all steaming a
cross, a silent tribute to the
Allied hold on the freedom of the
seas. All the rest of the boats
were loaded to_ the gills with A
raerican boys. The subs did not
bother us, which did not make U3
sore.
Great Britain is Just an armed
camp from one enl to the other,
and nothing matters so long as the
Germans are licked, Beems to be
the spirit.
We are having a pretty stiff
course of training, which Will not
do us any harm.
Ail the Northern bunch are well.
Have been in quarantine for 22
days here, 6 yet *o go, a usual pro
cedure fojr newly arrived troops
to enjoy.
The civilian population is not
any too well f«d, although the
army grub is jake. Cannot get
any candy at all, and cake—well I
guess they have forgotten,- here
what it Ipoks like, so Doc when
there's any parcels those ladies
don't Jinow what to do with, try
and steer one to the address be
low. Am in the pink, and will writa
more fully later. Let me know if
this gets censored Doc, then I
shall know how far to go with
the next. Youre «s B-4.

FRENCH MOTHER'S LETTER
TO THE AMERICAN WOMEN
The Committee on Public Informa
tion issues.the following:.
Mrs. Wilson permits publication
of the following loiter as illustra
tive of the view oof lit of the moth
ers of France:
Madame Woodrow Wilson,
Washington, D. C.
Madame: It Is from the mothers
and women of France that I send
you these words to prove our grati
tude for the comforting and broth
erly support that these, young A*
mericans bring us with such noble
enthusiasm, who »r« not afraid of
leaving their families, their country,
aad their hopes to come to our res
cue. Alas! I myself have given my
beloved son, to my unhappy and
cruelly tried country, and I can un
derstand th© pain of those who see
their sons go go far, so very far
away. Tell them, those mothers,
those women with, the sublime
hearts how near we are to them in
^thought, and how moved wo are
at their sacrifice. They are our Bis
ters through suffering and agoniz
ing worries and we are brought to
gether through the Bame sorrow.
That we will never forget It
would make me haopy, Madame, to
correspond with some of these moth-"
ers, if they will send me a. few
lines. i
Very respectfully, Ma^ime, I
salute you. f

Luxuriantly.
Hair preparations and dandruff cure*,
as a rule, are sticky or irritating affairs
that do no earthly good. Hair, when not
diseased, grows naturally, luxuriantly.
Dandruff Is the cause of nine-tenths of
all hair trouble, and dandruff is caused
by a germ. The only way to cure dand'
ruff is to kill the germ; and, so far, the
only hair preparation that will positively
destroy the germ is Newbro's Hsrpictde—
absolutely harmless, free from graaae,
•edlment, dye matter or dangerous drugs.
It allays itching Instantly; makes hair
glossy and soft as silk. "Destroy tha
