DAWSON AS IT IS TODAY
Former Goal of Gold Seeker Is Again
the Scene of a Great
Stampede.
Twenty odd years ago Dawson
City was the center of a stampede of
thousands of adventurers in search
of gold. The discovery accidentally
made by George Carmack thrilled
the world. Pen and plow were
dropped in countries far and near
and the trail taken for the unknown
Noi ;h, says the Christian Science
Monitor.
Today Dawson City Is the scene of
a second great stampede. The land
of gold, romance and the midnight
sun is the goal of thousands of tour
ists. Eager, optimistic youth, with
a world to see and hear, grave
elders, conscious and careful, a trifle
blase, invade the capital of the sour
dough, tramp all over the sacred
spot, spend good money with an
open hand, and finally depart for
their homes charged with knowledge
and enriched with the stories of that
happy raconteur and first-class
guide, Jack-a-det»-Lee.
Nuggets of gold are not now to be
picked up on the streets, but there
are many miles of rich pay streaks
still to be worked by the dredges at
present in operation, and the silver
in the Mayo district on the Stewart
river promises well. The mountains
of conglomerate on Indian river also
may create an industry equal to the
Eand.
STOCKHOLDERS MEETING
Notice is hereby given that
the annual meeting of the
stockholders of the McCrory
Ice & Commission Co. will be

ident at 1:00 p. m., Tuesday,
Jan. 4, 1921, for the purpose
of electing officers for the en
suing year and also to transact
any other business that may
properly come before the
meeting. J. F. MORGAN,
Dec. 25, 1920 President.
SIAMESE LIVE EASY LIVES1
Country So Rtc*» That It l« Unneces
sary for the People to Do
Much Work.
“Just north of the federated Ma
lay states lies Siam, a little country
off the beaten trac]L. The country is
rich in exports. Bice alone, which
has two crops a year, brings in $35,
500,000 to $40,000,000 a year; add
to that the exports of teak, tin and
gold and you may begin to have
some conception of the wealth there, j
The importing is done largely by
European houses, but the native
trade is entirely in Chinese hands,
and a direct connection with them,
through your European broker, is a
good thing. As a rule,” according
to the observations and experience
of Elmer R. Murphey, president
James H. Rhodes & Co., who writes
in System about his recent business
trip around the world, “these Chi- j
nese merchants who are large I
enough to import are of fine char
acter and keep their contracts
scrupulously.”
Mr. Murphey explains that: “The
Siamese won’t work much; he can
make a living too easily without it.
The 8,000,000 natives buy imported
articles amounting to $4 per capita
each year, four times as much as the
natives of India buy. Yet to this
rich market the United States ships
less than $600,000 a year, but that
isn’t as strange as it might seem at
first appearances.”
Dr. R. L. Fraser, Hon. E. W.
Chaney, and son, Winfree,

FORDSON
THE Ford Motor Company have just issued a book called
“The Fordson at Work.” This book is given free. Call in and get
one. If you cannot call, write and we will mail you one without
charge. It is not what? the Ford Motor Company says about the
Fordson Tractor but what the army of users have to say. This book
voices the hardest kind of practical experience. It shows in illustra
tion the Fordson Tractor at actual work along some ninety different
lines of activity. It shows in these illustrations the wonderful versa
tility and utility of the Fordson Tractor. Shows it to be, beyond all
question, the one bit of machinery that is a necessity, not only on the
farm but along many lines of commercial business; especially does it
show up the Fordson as a valuable servant on the farm. With it the
farmer is relieved of the hard work; because he can take advantage
of the weather in preparing his seed bed; he can do it at the right
time; the same is true when it comes to harvesting. It solves, to a great
extent, the problem of scarcity of labor.
With its wonderful, reliable power, it brings to the farm home
all conveniences, in the way of running water in the house, electric
lights, operation of the washing machine, churning, separating the
cream from the milk; it assumes and takes to it&elf the drudgery of
farm life both in the field and in the house and it is only a matter of a
few years until it will be as universal in its service on the farm als i^
the farmer himself. It will become a part of farm life; a beneficial
part; a profitable part. Get order in for there’s a rush coming.
