would enable the teamster to

to drive up an ally. This allow-

from the effects of the weather,
Mr. Rogers thought that the firm
of Rogers, & Black could save 50
cents in the ton on-the cost of
coal to the éonsumer. When Mr.
Burns asked whether the = ex-
posure of the coal fo the damp
atmosphere and rain would not
cause it to become saturated with
moisture and so to gain in weight.
Mr. Rogers said this had less ef-
fect than might be expected, Not
more than half of his coal was
screened, He did not consider
that most of the coal required
sereening. When a poor lot did
come, however, it was screened.

DAWSON—VISIT THE CREEKS

Dawson, Y. T., July 7.—The
Seattle Chamber of Commerce ex-
cursion left last night for Fair-
banks on the steamers Yukon
and Dawson, elated with’ their
treatment here. The welcome
consisted of a grand public re-
ception in the Arctic Brotherhood
Hall, then another reception at
the governor’s house with the
presentation of a framed address
to the visitors, and a trip by train
and autos up the famous Bonan-
za Creek, where all panned gold
in the old style from a claim on
the site of the former town of
Grand Forks. Later the visitors
saw hydraulics tearing down
Lovett and other hills and visited
the interior dredges.

In the speeches Judge Ken-
neth Mackintosh said Seattle
was a bankrupt cily when the
Klondyke strike occurred, and

 

that any Seattle man would be

an ingrate who would not call
Dawson mother, because’ she
poured lifeblood into the town
and all other coast cities to the
extent of many millions.

The total output of the Can-
adian Yukon to date is over
£150,000,000,

Seth Mann, representing Presi-
dent Wilson, said he was here to

see, not speak, buf he predicted
that the marvelous scenic at-
tractions, mines and agricultural

resources would make this a
magnificent empire. He said the
Arctic Brotherhood motto, “No
boundary line here,” prevails
among the wonderful people who
are all one blood, one language
and one purpose, and wiil spread
through the English speaking
world, with the two flags waving
together in perpetual peace.
