FAIRBANKS FARMERS
WANT PAY FOR COWS
Farmers of the Fairbanks district
whose cows were condemned by a
veterinary and killed about a year
ago are now making an effort to
secure reimbursement from the ter
ritorial treasury for their loss. Pe
titions are being signed with a view
to having a bill passed by the next
legislature, providing for reimburse
ment for past losses and for such
losses of a similar character as may
occur in the future.
The farmers argue that it was
not their fault that their cows were
tubercular.

OLDIIMER COMES
FROM STATES ON
TOUR OF WORLD
Among the passengers arriving on
ithe steamer Tanana yesterday was^
John Randolph Watson, aged 84
years, a sourdough of the Dawson
country, who returned North this
summer for what probably will be
his last visit to Alaska and the Yu
kon He came down the l ukon to
Dawson and is now on his way back
to the States by way of the Rich
ardson trail.
In addition to being: a man of
advanced years, Mr. Watson has
passed through an ordeal that reads
like fiction. When quite a young
man, his face was terribly burned,
resulting in the loss of his eyelids,
and for nearly fifty years he was
unable to close his eyes. Consid
erable new flesh was grafted on his
forehead after the accident, but it
'.was many years before he was suc
cessful in finding a specialist who
•would undertake the task of making
!new eyelids for him. And when he'
idid finally undergo the operation,,
j his eyes were closed for two years—‘
j for so long a time, in fact, that it
|was necessary for him to learn to
isee again.
; But in spite of his vears and long
[period of suffering, the oldtimer is
jhale and hearty and in full posses- i
ision of his mental faculties. He1
' not far removed when both the Yu-.
j ,
kon and Alaska will enter upon an ]
era of permanent prosperity.
The following statement was giv
en to The News this morning by i
jMr. Watson:
“I first came North in ’97 and,
after crossing Chilcoot pass, de
scended the Yukon waters from
iLake Linderman in a small boat
which I built myself. Three other
times I ccme down the river in the
| same way, and this is my seventh
.trip North. When I first arrived in
Dawson, I engaged in the merchan
dising business, locating first on
Second avenue and later at Fifth
and King streets.
“I was in Montana in the early
jdays, helping to found the city of
.Helena, and have a pin of the Order
'of Montana Pioneers. Only a few
1 j
snow wear that pin, as one was re
■ quired to have been in Montana
prior to 1864 to qualify for the
• 'order.
: • “I am now touring the continent,
I and am swinging this season around
| a circle of 13,000 miles, covering
I, most of the big cities and many of
t the outlying posts North and South.
:My home is' at 300 Copper street,
: Camden, New Jersey,
i “I was born at Standish Corner,
iMaine, in 1836. While living in
Iowa some years later I nearly lost
. my life in a fire, and was so severe
ly burned about the head that I lost
[ my eyelids and suffered severe in-*
| juries about the head. For forty
1'
seven years I found no one able to
repair my eyes, and during all that
time my hours of rest were spent
with eyes wide open. Finally I
found Dr. Charles Thomas, a noted
specialist of Philadelphia, who re
moved flesh from my legs and graft
ed it in such a way that it formed
perfect lids over my eyes. After
the new growth was complete, he
slit the lids in the~ usual place, and
now my eyelids are such that I close
my eyes at will and my eyesight is
so restored that with the aid of
glasses I see well and am able to
read as well as any other person
using glasses.”
