Harry Johnston has a grievance
! against the weather man, whom he
■ says has had It in for him for seven
I teen years. The reason for his com
I plaint lies in the singular fact that
for a period of seventeen years his
birthday which happens to fall on the
19th, has occurred under gloomy skies.
Harry says that the records of the
weather office for the past seventeen
years will show that the day has al
ways been marked by cloudy and
stormy weather.

ports have been printed, raised the
water In the Anacovik, fully seven
feet over night and In Its retreat car
ried away the barge to a point two
miles from York. Mr. Miller says that
all the machinery was off although
not yet transported to Swanson creek
where it will be placed on a new
barge. Miller assisted In the drilling
of the ground on which the dredge
Is to be located and speaks very high*
ly of the prospects of dredge opera
tion.
He states that no work was In
progress at Buck creek at the time
of his departure for Nome although
there is less snow there than for many
years. The crew of the Johnson
dredge were In York but had not com
menced their labors. Herschberg
brothers are reported to have taken
out a valuable dump during the win
ter and Messrs. Rice and Gehrman
also did well on Sunset, finding some
very valuable ground. Mr Miller also
cleaned up a small dump on the same
ground with very good results. Joe
Goodwin together with Bob Wellander
and Kd Breggren are reported to have
taken out about five tons of high grade
tin ore on Lost river from a promising
ledge of that mineral Game is report

LONDON, Juno 20.—Women’s suf
frage was adopted In the house of
commons today by a majortty bf throb
hundred and thirty votes after a pro
longed debate. The measure was
passed with practically no decided re
sistance and the adoption of the bill
was a foregone conclusion.
Then tenor of thought of the mem
bers on the (question was clearly
demonstrated by the failure of an
amendment against the proposal to
grant the vote to women which was
defeated by a vote of three hundred
and eighty five to fifty six.
The measure as passed by the house
confers the franchise on women ofl
the same basis as men.
