a resident of Skagway:
“O. L. Dickeson, well-known in
business circles, is confined to his

ation suffering from a severe cut on
the back of his head and sundry
bruises and lacerations on his face.
“His injuries were received in a
fight early Sunday morning in the
Hotel Sherman, at the close of the
Cotillion Club’s weekly dance. A
young woman who was attending the
dance complained to her escort that
Dickeson made some very offensive
remarks to her.
“Mr. Dickeson, according to wit
nesses of the affray, started to leave
the ball room in the main corridor
when overtaken by the young wom
an’s escort, who was named Miller.
“Miller struck Dickeson two furious
blows in the face, throwing him back
ward against the corner of the wall
so hard that his scalp was cut open
about two inches.
Dr. T. E. Miller, assistant house
physician at the Hotel Sherman, at
tended Dickeson ami he was taken to
the club in a taxicab accompanied by
two of the employes at the hotel.
“The trained nurse who is attend
ing him said last night that Mr.
Dickeson does not know the man who
struck him. He will be confined to
his room for several days.”

WOOL WILL WARM
BRITISH SOLDIERS
LONDON, Dec. 24.—'The British
i
War Office will depend on Mother
Nature and wool to warm the troops
at the front through the W’nter
months as against electric pants,
electric heaters and other devices re
ports from Germany say are being
supplied the Teutons. Thai depart
ment of the British War office respon
sible for Winter equipment announced
today that in addition to r ibber hip
boots for actual trench lighters and
two woolen shirts and four pairs of
thick socks for all, the British soldier
will also have a warm, woolen, water
proof service cap, camp comforter,
body belt, vest and drawers, Cardigan
waistcoat; fur or leather flannel-lined
jacket, heavier tunic and trousers,
greatcoat, waterproof cape, fingerless
snow mittens, heavier puttees. Spec
ial clothing has been provided to pro
tect the bare-kneed Scotchmen. All
this equipment is ready in ample
quantity, but as mufflers and gloves
are not on the list, the public may
knit and sen them to the men in un
limited numbers.
What is taken in England as an in
dication that Germany is suffering a
wool famine is tho report from Ger
man sources that the German
trenches are being heated by electric
ity. This, coupled with official Rus
sian advices that captured German
soldiers wear cotton socks and stiff
overcoats lined with felt leads the
British authorities to believe the
enemy will suffer intensely from cold
this year.

RICH DIRT ON SPRUCE
Some very high-grade pay has re
cently been uncovered by Ernest Nie
hoflfa nd Knutc Indegard who late
last summer bought the Hanson and
Tilleson ground on Spruce creek.
A short time ago the present own
ers bed rocked a shaft about 300 feet
! above the Hanson and Tilleson
I works, where the pay located had
given Spruce a standing among the
most promising creeks of the district.
The new hole was bottomed in exceed
ingly rich dirt, which has held solid
for a distance of 30 feet—as far as
the drift has been run. Mr. NiehofT
was in Ruby this week and would
venture no prediction as to the ex
tent of the pay, but said that any
where in the 30-foot drift pans rang
ed from 10 cents to $3.
In this connection it is recalled that
mining men who viewed Spruce last
summer remarked the unanimity with
which the gold of that creek main
tained its relation to the bedrock.
! This was taken to indicate regularity
of the pay. At any ra*\ it will not
take much ground like that found by
Niehoff and Indegard to mount high
in production—Ruby Record-Citizen

Goodrich
HIPRESS
White Boot
“With the Red-Line ’round the Top”
You know that when a boot comes in and
simply sweeps the whole country like
“IIIPRESS” has done, it’s GOT to be
St)METHING UNUSUAL.
White Goodrich “IMPRESS" Boots actually wear
longer than iron or steel! You don’t have to halt
sole them with leather—they far outwear hob
nailed leather soles. The reason for this unusual service is that |
“HIPRESS” are constructed by an entirely new process—fifty years
ahead of the old.
Made of the same tough rubber that goes into Goodrich Auto Tires—welded
together under enormous pressure INTO ONE SOLID PIECE!
Nothing to come apart—they can’t leak, peel, crock or split! They’re comfort
able, too—shaped to the foot while it’s working. We promise that once you start
wearing White “HIPRESS” you’ll never be satisfied with anything else. And
remember—it has a Red-Line ’round the Top.
