MYSTERIOUS DEATH IN
THE FAR NORTH
keports have been received by
the Mounted Police at Dawson
of a mysterious death on the Ne~
'hanni river, a tributary of the
McKenzie river, beyond the
headwaters of the Pelly. A party
of prospectors recently visited
there in quest of a supposedly
rich new placer strike and found
that a cabin which had been
erected by Atkinson and Jorgen
was burned and nearby found the
skeleton of Jorgen and his empty
rifle, and evidences pointing to
:.n apparent struggle.
The party’s gruesome find was
at the place where Atkinson and
his partner had built a cabin four
or five years ago, but they were
confronted with merely a clear -
ing in the timlber The cabin
I
that had been built there was
gone. They investigated and
found that it had been burned,
while outside, stretched on the
▼round, was the skeleton of a big
nan, evidently, according to At
chison, that of Jorgcn. His ride
-vas lying near the body, with 1
me cartridge fired and ejected
from the rifle. It looked as if he
had lost his life by foul play,
Hitting up a fight, one against
many. Th0 Indians in that lo
cality are hostile to the whites.
When Billy Atkinson was there
'ast year they had warned him 1
off and threatened to kill him if ■
he returned.

ALASKANS ENLIST IN
CANADIAN ARMY
Alaska wants to be represent
ed in the company which Conr;
missioner George Black of Yu
kon is to raise soon to help fight
the battles of Britain and the
allies, says a recent issue of the
Dawson News. A large number
of Alaskan have gonc forward to
join the allies, and no doubt
many more will go. A large
number left Juneau several
months ago, as many as twenty
three at one time. Some mushed
out over the trail from Fairbanks
and other places.
And still they come. Adminis
trator George N Williams has
received a telegram from a man
in Iditarod, asking Tf Tie and
others can join the contingent.
The administrator promptly re
plied by night lettec informing
he inquirer that no doubt there
vould he opportunity to get on,
ind suggesting that the Iditarod
boys come to Dawson by the
first boats in the spring. For
them to mush over the present
vinter trail would mean a tramp
if nearly' 1,500 miles and heavy
I expense, and the trails probably
would be far gonP by the time
they neared the end, and little
timc be saved over coming by
boat.
It is understood quite a nunr ;
her of men in this district who
have not enlisted are awaiting
the definite terms of enlistment
as they want to work in the
neantime.—Valdez Prospector.

WHO CAUSED
THE WAR?
C
'
There is no doubt in the mind®
of the 300 persons present at the,
recent debate on the subject,
‘Resistance vs. Non-Resist-1
ance,” at the City Club of Hart"
ford, Conn., between Rev. Dr.
Rockwell Harmon Potter and
Compensation Commissioner
George B. Chandler as to who
was the winner, Dr. Potter’s
claim was for moral prepared
ness and spiritual resistance,
according to the report of the de
bate published by the Hartford
aMBaaHBB9aazs=!aB3=ssiDHEssE
plauded loudest Commissioner
Chandler’s appeal for universal
military service. As showing
why Dr. Potter’s side lost we
can do no better than quote the
following excerpt from his re- i
marks:
“Who caused the war?” that j
is a long story Richard Harding j
Davis went to Europe to find |
out—that was his business as a i
reporter. He went into Bucking-!
ham palace and said
“‘Now George on the level, as
between two friends, who caus
ed this rumpus?’
“‘Ah—well—1 — don’t know;
you go and ask Nick.’
“ ‘So Davis went to Petrograd
and said, ‘Now, Nick, who was
it?' and Nick said, ‘I don’t know;
vou better go and ask Bill.’ So
we went to Berlin, slapped Bill
on the back, and said ‘Bill, old

chap, who was it?’
“ ‘Teddy.’
" ‘Teddy ?’
‘‘‘Yes, after he got through
being president, he went to Af
rica to hunt for a while, then he
went to Stockholm to get a peace
prize, and then he came here and ’
We fixed up a little battle for
him without getting too near
When the battle wais over he >
said to tne, ‘Bill, that’s a bully '
army you’ve got; you can lick \
any army in the world. Now,
how in h-- was 1 to know that
hc was such a d— liar:'"—Army

Advertising Es An
INVESTM ill
Not an Expense, and Should be
Treated as Such
Because ii lias been the habit
i)i some merchants to look upon
it as an expense, A WRONG
VIEW HAS BEEN GAINED.
Perhaps the misconception arose
from the fact that in bookkeep
ing it has been the habit to
charge advertising to expense.

NESS AND PROMT, THERE

MENT.
Only the man who looks upon
advertising as an expense, who |
is afraid of it. prejudiced against
j it. loses money in advertising.
The man who treats advertis
ing as an investment and gives it
the attention an investment re
quires—knows that every dollar
rightly invested in this direc
tion yields compound interest—
