RESCUED AT THE
FRONT BY KLOND1KERS
By a singular twist in the paths
of human experience, Scotty Wilson
and Jim Orr, of Dawson, recently
became the heroes and rescuers on
the battlefield of France of P. J.
Marshall, of Vancouver, brother to
Harold Jukes Marshall, of this city.
Harold has received a letter from
his brother telling of the experience.
He says:
During a bombing of our side I
slipped into a dugout for refuge. A
shell caused the place to be buried
with earth, and I was deep under
the debris. Two fellows say my plight,
and rushed over and dug me out. Im
agine my surprise on shaking hands
with them and making inquiries to
find out who they were to learn that
they were from Dawson, your home
town. They were Scotty Wilson, for
: merly with the mounted police and
later in the fire hall in Dawson, and
i Jim Orr, also from Dawson.—Dawson

SOME DAM.
LAS VEGAS, N. M„ May 2.—The
big irrigation dam, now under con
struction near here, is to be increas
! ed in height from sixty to eighty feet
; giving the reservoir approximately
17,000 acre feet greater capacity.
The dam at present is 416 feet
thick at the bottom. The greater
size will make possible the irriga
tion of much more land than former
ly planned.

Did You See The .Moon Dogs?
(Juneau Dispatch.)
Amateur astronomers and several
old time Alaskans were telling the
chechacos on the island last night
all about “moon dogs.” Those who
may have happened to notice the
moon last night, observed a most un
usual condition, there being a large
black circle around the moon and sev
eral peculiar streaks of light running
from each side of the black circle, half
across the heavens, not unlike north
ern lights, with a patch of light above
and below. Old timers here called
them “moon dogs,” and stated that
this condition is often seen farther
north but seldom in this locality.
Those from the inside also claimed
that the condition means high winds
or storms within a few days.

WASHINGTOX, D. C.—Today the
government invoked for the first
time its drastic powers to strike a
death blow at exorbitant war pro
fits.
Under authority of the last naval
appropriation bill a manufacturer
was directed to furnish a large or
der of war supplies at a price fix
ed by the government far lower
than the figure voluntarily submit
ted. If the order is not obeyed the
plant would be taken over and operat
ed by the government.
Officials would not disclose the
name of the manufacturer nor the
agency through which the order was
given.
It was said, however, that Presi
dent Wilson and his advisers were
firmly resolved that only fair and
reasonable charges should be paid
by the nation to its citizens for the
things that are necessary to make
ready for war.
Pay Less Than Allies.
European governments are paying
an average of ten per cent profit
on war material purchased in the
United States. It was asserted au
thoritatively that the government of
the United States intends to buy its
own supplies at less than that rate
of profit to the seller.
Standing out sharply against this
background, came an announcement
today by Bernard Baruch, commis
sioner for minerals of the national
defense council, of the voluntary
offer of the brass-making industry
to fill the government’s orders at
cost of production. This followed
the recent agreement secured by Mr.
Baruch with the copper producers and
similar arrangements now in process
of completion with the steel and fuel
oil producers.
The Law Invoked.
‘The president is authorized to
require the owner or occupier of
any factory in which ships or war
material are built or produced to
place at the disposal of the United
States the whole or any part of the
output of such factory, and, within
the limit of the amounts appropriated
therefor, to deliver such output or
parts thereof in such quantities and
at such times as may be specified in
the order at such reasonable prices as
shall be determined by the president.”
Behind that clause stand other laws
as a grim reminder of the purpose
of congress to make its will effective.
Refused War Order.
A section o? the national defense
act makes it a felony, punishable by
three years’ imprisonment and $50,
000 fine, to fail to meet the govern
ment’s demands; another section of
the navy bill authorizes the taking
over and operation of all or any part
of any plant.
It is understood that the concern
against which these statutes have
been invoked refused to meet the
government’s requirements as to price
when the orders were tendered orig
inally and in the regular way. So far
as known, this is the only case of the
kind yet produced by the present em
ergency.

Engineering Commission, Anchorage,
Alaska, May 17, 1917.—Effective May 1,

it will be necessary in the future to
discontinue placing or displaying mer
chandise or other articles on sidewalks.
Articles may be hung on the fronts of
buildings provided they do not extend
more than 12 inches from the walls of
such buildings, and further provided
that they are so arranged as to yield
readily under pressure, and be easily
removed. All signs shall be not less
than 8 feet clear of the sidewalk, and
the erection of any post or support
from the ground to the sign is pro
hibited. Post or other similar signs
shall not be erected within the street.
Portable bulletin boards shall not be
