In its Doc. 14th issue, the News
devoted a column to clippings trout
the Forum, regarding Rampart and
the claims in its vicinity: shows
the importance of advertising our
wares to the world, and not as here
tofore, hide our light under a bushel.
This is the first time Rampart has
nad favorable mention in a Dawson
l
i
I
paper.
The Earlv Closing Association
may have to suspend, in view of
the reported stampede; it has been
suggested that they alternate, this
would give them a chance to recup-1
erate, and a hungry man going thro
could fill out his outfit without los- j
ing a day.
We are indebted to the Dawson
News for the information that there
is still another paper in Dawson,
the Nugget. The News claims,
however, that it’s a brass one.
Two savants, in the government'
service, say that mosquitoes cause.
malaria, and advise the killing of
these pests. We would suggest:
that they begin work in Alaska. j
A man, Weiss by name, is on
trial at Dawson tor stealing a ehureli j
and bids fair to be convicted. He '
may be Weiss, but unhappy. j
Dawson is taking steps to incor- i
porate; supported by the new
councilmen, elected by the people.
This is a step in the right direction
one that we would do well to im-'
I

ltate.
