|)UAYTON—JTSKIN \\KDDl.V;
Mrs. Cora Margaret J unkin was
married to Mr. Thomas B. Drayton
last evening, the Kov. # Duane l*.arl
Carter performing Uic ceremony. Miss
Florence Leonard was bridesmaid, Mr.
Curtis Morford boot man, and Mr.
Hairy Hoben master of ceremonies.
Those present at the wedding, and at
the supper served immediately after
wards, were limited to close personal
friends.
A pretty and unusual feature in
troduced was the reservation ot u
place for Mr. Joseph hihlcrs*, a life
long intimate friend ot the groom who
had pledged himself in boyhood days
to be present at such an event. Mr.
Kihlers is a professor in the Univer
sity of Tsin Tsin, China, but despite
the distance it wtuTplayfuily presum
ed he would appear at the very last
moment, with apologies for being late.
The bride, a Detroit girl originally,
is well known in California and Alaska
both for her charm of manner and her
unusual attainments in various lines
of philosophical inquiry.
The groom is a professional writer
whose productions until recently have
been confined principally to the fields
of sociology and ethics. During the
past year or so he has turned his at
tention mainly to political writings,
and as the Alaska representative of
the Henry Ford International Weekly,
and many of the chief newspapers ot
the middle and eastern States, he has
attracted great attention outside
through his persistent attacks upon
the system of bureau government and
the conservation policy as practiced in
Alaska, and has drawn down upon
himself a number of equally bitter at
tacks from leading conservationists in
the States. His articles are beginning
to be considered in publish1 ig circles
as extremely dangerous to political
measures and polices supposed to be
permanently and firmly established.
The bride also has had a large ex
jierience in journalism and is herself
unusually handy with a pen.
Many beautiful gifts were received
by the newly-weds.
DRUNKENNESS SHOWS SHARP
INCREASE IN GREAT BRITAIN
LONDON, Sept, 15-Convictions for
drunkenness in England and Wales
in 1919 was nearly double the fig
ures for 1918. The total was 57,948
ns compared with 29,075, according
to an official report last issued.
Greater London and Northern Eng
land accounted for 93 per cent of the
total.
Among some of the reasons given
for the increase are that there * are
more men at home and fewer of
them in khaki, more policemen and
those less overworked available for
street duty, more hours for drinking
and stronger liquor.

BRITISH COLUMBIA “TOURIST
CROP” VALUED $20,000,000
VANCOUVER, B. C., Sept., S—
Twenty million dollars is the esti
mated value of the “tourist crop”
in British Columbia this year, accord
ing to calculations made by J. Reg
inaM Davison, publicity commissioner
for the city. He said these calcula
tions are figured on a very conserva
tive basis.
At least a third of this sum is fig
ured as having come to* the city of
Vancouver, so that-it is doubtful if
any industry in the city, not ex
cluding lumber and shipbuilding, puts
as much money into circulation in
this city as the tourist “industry,”, ac
cording to Mr. Davison.

INTERIOR CAMPS WILL
YIELD NEARLY $3,000,000
The Tanana Valley placer mining
district will produce $1,600,000 in
gold this season, according to pre
liminary estimates made by Volney
Richmond, General Manager for the
Northern Commercial Company,
who has just completed his annual
tour of Interior Alaska. Mr. Rich
mond estimates the total of gold
production for Interior Alaska this
year at $2,985,000 and the Dawson
district total at 1,500,000.
The production in practically
every Interior camp has been cur
tailed to some extent by lack of
rainfall, creating a shortage of water
which delayed seriously sluicing op
erations. Mr. Richmond says that
some of the camps have almost been
put out of business on this account.
Tolovana, during the summer, had
only 1* days vi sluicing, that being
in May. Dumps taken out last fall
and winter in that district are still
partly unwashed.
Dredges are operated m the Idit
arod, Ophir-Tacotna, Fairbanks dis
tricts, while the Berry dredge in the
Circle district has been shut down
all season. The Bagley scraper is
used considerably in the Fairbanks
district and there is much hydrau
licing on the lower river camps. In
the Kantishna, two big hydraulic1
plants are being installed, one by j
the Mt. McKinley Gold Placers Com- i
pany, another by Fairbanks capital.
The estimate production by
camps as given by Mr. Richmond
follow:
Fairbanks $750,000
Iditarod • 500,000
Tacotna and Ophir 500,000
Tolovana 750,000
