S'
Famous Church
At Dawson Sags
But Still Stands
Tourists to Dawson, the once fa
bled "San Francisco of the North,”
often overlook St. Andrew's Church
in their sightseeing.
During the gold rush St. Andrews
was considered one of the largest
and richest churches in the North
west.
Unfortunately, since the gold rush
has long since gone, the Presbyter
ian congregation has long since
dwindled away to nothing, and very
little remains to show the former
glory of the church.
The one remaining symbol in
the church is the large pipe organ
that was installed in the church in
1901, the only pipe organ ever in
stalled in the Yukon.
Today the floor has shifted and
sagged, twisting the various com
ponents of the organ out of line
and putting it out of commission,
however, it still remains the only
vestige of glory still left in the
church that was once the greatest
and richest in the Northwest.
Accident Victims
Are Recovering
Martin Schrup and Robert Thomp
son were reported much improved
today, after an accident last Satur

in which they were riding left the
road and overturned five times.
Schrup, who suffered a broken
jaw, concussion, and lacerations, is
still in St. Joseph’s.
Thompson, who suffered numer
ous lacerations, cuts, and bruises,
is recovering at home.
State Police officers blamed ex
cessive speed for the accident.
