STEAMER KOVIIKEIK
TO i>E REBUI1T
The hull of the steamer Koyukuk,
which was wrecked on the upper
Tallica early in the spring, is a total
loss. The machinery, furnishings and
other equipment of value have been
stripped from the boat, and she has
been abandoned. All that was saved
will be put in the new hull, which Is
being assembled at St. Michael. The
new hull ?? modeled at Portland,
Oregon, during the winter.
The steamer Rock Island, which was
sunk near Fairbanks, probably will be
raised soon. The Northern Comniir
cial company is not short of boats. On J
the ways at St. Michael and Andre- J
asfstci it has about twenty steamers
that have been idle since the memor
able days of the early rush to the Klon
dike.

IS DYING
Once Famous Klondiker is
Nearing End
People from Fairbanks say that
James Doughertv, for a long time
known on the Yukon as "Nigger Jim,"
is ia the hospital ai Fairbanks and may
Ocver recover sufficiently to go outside,
says the Yukon Valley News.
In 1901 he suffered a stroke of paraly
sis at Dawson and has never since fully
recovered his health. Stomach troub
les and other complications have since
set In, and It appears that the noted
old-timer's end is approaching.
"Nigger Jim" was a miner among
the miners on the Fortymile before tbe
great discovery on the Klondike. He
was early on the ground at Dawson,
was a good fellow with the class that
bad plenty of money to spend, and him
self got to be quite a rich man. The
habit formed during tbe flush times
stuck to him, at the expense of bis
health and his fortune.
But whether mining on the Forty
mile, or leading in the mad whirl of
the newly rich Klandike, ' Nigger
Jim" always "kept up his end," and
those who know him best have always
maintained that his impulses were gen
erous and his dealings square. What
ever else may befall, his last days will
hardly be friendless.

Toby? Yes; after a close examination
he said to me the other day: "If all

shows that I know enough.
How to Brttk up ? Cold
I( may be a surprise to many to learn
that a severe cold can be completely
broken up in one or two day's time.
To do this however, prompt action Is
necessary. The first symptoms of a
cold are a dry, loud cough, a profuse
watery discharge from the nose, and a
thin, white coating on the tongue.
When Cham be Iain's cough remedy is
taken every noiir on the first appear
of these symptons, it counteracts the
effect of the cold and restores the sys
tem to a healthy condition within a
day or two For sale by Wm. Britt,

Her Criticism
[CopyrlKht 1906. by T. C. McCIure.)
"1 ilo not like it," declared Miss Con
<erse positively.
"1 thought It was great," protested
Darrow. "Now, that scene where th<
flrl makes the rnau propose is awfull>
clever." '
"No nice girl," said Miss Couversi
oracularly, "would ever lend a man to
propose."
"This is your third season, isn't it?"
tsked Darrow.
"It is not polite to remind me that 1
am growing to be a wallflower," elud
ed the girl.
"You are not," declared Darrow
promptly. "If I wanted to be slangy,
I could say that you were a daisy."
"There are times," said Miss Con
verse, "when even slang is excusable."
"Then consider It said," he answer
ed, with a bow. "But to get ou. You
have been out three seasons, and you
say a woman never leads a inau to pro
pose."
"I said no nice woman," corrected
Miss Converse.
"How about Barton and Nellie
Rice?" he urged.
"She didn't," defended Miss Con
verse. "She twld me all about It. II?
said he wished he had a wife to make
him as comfortable as Mrs. Rice made
Nell's father."
"And then what?" exulted Darrow.
"She merely said he never would gel
married until he had courage to ask foi
what he wanted." completed .Miss Of?
verse.
"Considering that he'd been dragging
About after her ever since she carnt
home from school. I guess she csuAa
imagine whom he would ask tor.
couldn't she?" crowed Darrow.
"I dou't call that urging," protested
\ilss Converse.
"sue was d jiut: the best she could,"
I ^rocluimeU Darrow. "She frluhton>id
iiitj
"I dou't see how you make that out."
"If he didn't ask her then, he was
afraid she would think he was- a cow
ard."
"Any man who has not the courage to
propose does' not deserve to be mar
ried," she asserted.
"That's not fair!" he cried. "I know
lots of good fellows who simply can't
think what to say."
"Fine fel|pW9 they must be." she
laughed. " Fancy a man. a big. strong
man. being afraid of a weak woman."
"Say," be began confidently, "do you
know that when a man loves a girl she
looks bigger than the side of a house
sometimes."
"I hope nobody loves me. thea." she
said sharply. "A man cannot love a
woman when he applies siuli a situiW'
to her."
"That's all you know fjout it." he de
clared sagely.
"Any man can propose, and propose
nicely, If lie leally wants a girl." she
Insisted.
"I couldn't," he said discouraged ly.
"Not even with the aid of a Heady
Letter Writer' and a "Guide to Court
ship.' "
"Nonsense," she dissented "V: i sure
you could make a pretty speech. Try
It"
"I can't think of a thing " he com
plained after a moment's Silence.
"Won't you give a fellow a start?"
"How is this?" she asked. " 'My dear
Miss Smith'
" 'Converse, ' " he corrected.
"I said 'Smith,' " she insisted.
"It don't sound natural with Smith,"
h# complained. "Make it 'Mv dear Miss
Converse.' What's next?"
"?You only wanted a start," she in
sisted.
"That's only the address." he pleM
ed. "Give a fellow a bigger boost Uan
that."
"Well." she began, "you might say.
'Surely you cannot fail to have no
tlced.' Now go ahead!"
"From the beginning?" he asked.
"Certainly, go ahead," she said impa
tiently.
" 'My dear Miss Converse.' he liegan
rapidly, " 'surely you cannot have failed
to have noticed that I love you and
want you for my wife/ How's that?"
"Too abrupt." she complained.
"Let's hear yiu do better." he jeered.
" 'Surely you cannot \iave failed to
notlc* that you have invired 'n me a
feeling beside which all other senti
ments fad* Into nothingness.' "
"Gee! I wish I could do It that
way!" Interjected Darrow admiringly.
" 'For a long time but one hope has
filled my mind? the hope that one flsy
I might be so fortunate as to Inspire
a similar feeling within your breast
1 feel that I cannot wall longer for the
answer to a question w?iich will either
fill the wh-Me world with r perfect
radiance or plunge me Into the deepest
despair. I love you. Will you not say
that I may hope some day to lead to
the altar the sweetest little woman In
all the world? Now!"
She turned toward him triumphantly
to meet his admiring gaae.
"Say," he said wosderingly, "I've
been trying to tell you something like
. that for about three years. Will you,
| dear?"
! It was some i time later that he said
j good night.
"Do yon think, Nell," he whispered
| teasingly, "that the girl in the book
wasn't so bad after all?"
"George Barrow," she stormed, "If
| you ever dare say that I helped you
I propose, 1*11"?
Bo stopped the threat with a kiss,
j "I Aoa't car* who did it," he wM
as 1'va won yo#?;
