Mrs. Jack Clifton, who left Dawson
with the intention of enlisting with
Uncle Sam's troopers to carry a bay
onet against the Huns, met with a
singular experience on reaching Seat
tle. She announced leaving Dawson
that she would go straight to Seattle
and there apply to the first recruit
ing station to get into khaki, and go
with the first contingent of Sammies
sent to kill the kaiser.
The intention of the would-be Klon
dike Amazon were good, and she was
determined to carry them out to the
last letter. Hut on her arrival in that
city of mystic beverages ar,d garish
ways, she encountered a singular and
powerful diverting force. It was “Hap
py Jack” Clifton, erstwhile Forty
mile miner, her husband, and Jack
kicked over the kettle and spilled the
beans. To put it more literally Mr.
Happy Jack hove in sight at the un
expected and critical moment before
the prospective recruit could reach
the recruiting station and he kidnap
ped Mrs. Happy Jack and whisked
her away to the farm.
At last accounts Mr. and Mrs. Hap
py Jack were down on the ,old home
stead near Leabanon, Oregon, the
place where Jack was born and rear
ed to stalwart manhood. Both Hap
py Jack and Mrs. Happy Jack are
pulling weeds, milking cows, wrestling
with the big yellow pumpkin—a per
fectly happy pair of Happy Jacks.
In the meantime the Russian Ama
zon regiment of death is left to car
ry out the part of the fighting worn
m-n of the Allied cause while the Klon
like delegate will fill the humhle yet
not unimportant part of shooting for
ward beans and bacon.

DAWSON, Nov. 12—With
the freezing 11)1 of the Klondike
nil*I tiie dosing down of the
big dredges for the winter, the
cream of the placer ground of
the famous Yukon stream is
practically cleaned out. The
big dredges of the Yukon Gold
Company finished the season’s
j work by dredging the entire
! creek from end to end, and also
{completed dredging Eldorado
i to 27 above Discovery hist
i week.
These operations take about
till of the best ground. The
once rich dirt is now exhaust
ed, or practically so. There is
still some pay dirt to be hand
led, but the biggest part of the
job is done, and part of the big
dredges will be taken to other
sections.
Crews are now engaged in
knocking down two of the larg
est dredges, and they will he
hauled in during the winter
so they can 1«* loaded and ship
ped to the outside on one of the
first Itoals next spring. While
it is not known where they will,
he sent, it is thought likely the :
dredges will he taken to Mur-]
ray, Idaho, where one of the I
company’s dredges was ship
ped last .Jivpe, and has .just
heen installed and is now work
ing.

High grade musical instruments, es
pecially pine pianos, are to ho made
from Alaska lumber, the so-called
Sitka spruce, according to the Juneau
Hispatch. The eastern manufacturers
have for some time been negotia
ting with the Worthen Lumber Mills
company of Juneau for car loads of
this lumber, which has proved excel
lent from every point of view in the
construction of pianos.
Select Sitka spruce, owing to its
:—____
lightness, Its width, the absence of I,"
knots, the grain and the good sound ,
lng-board qualities it possesses, Is
considered to have no superior for
piano construction. A big demand j
has been created for it on account
of a shortage of eastern spruce, great
quantities of which have been consum
ed in the manufacture of paper.
While spruce lumber is plentiful
throughout the territory, the special
grade, required for piano manufac
ture does not abound in such goodly i
quantities as the general run of Alas- i
ka spruce. J
