(By James

Amohk the many with whom I conversed on abstract subjects, the best and most erudite was a Prince Edward Islander named Andrew Harding. He had a claim and lived alone in a cabin on one of the creeks and was a voluminous read- or.

He got deep into something oc- cult. It mustvhnvs been metaphy- sics of the fourth dimension. It was too heavy a mental effort on my part to follow him and I changed the trend of conversation as easily as possible. It made me ponder on the perpetual inferiority complex oi Islanders in regard to the inade- quacy of their school system.

It is a paradox that through the instrumentality of teachers or in- note ability of the pupils. a thirst for knowledge is inculcaied which eventually places them in some of the most responsible and com- manding positions: in the land.

Newspapers

In the spring of 1898 news and newspapers were almost non ex- istent in Dawson. The 11.8. battle- ship Mains had been blown u-p in Havana harbor-whether by de- sign or accident has never been clarified to this day.

There were rumors oi! war be- tween Spain and the United States. People (especially Americans) were almost in a state of nervous pros- tration. Spain had quite is large number of formidable battleships and the U.S. fleet was an un- known quantity, with a "green" navy personnel - not having fired s. shot in anger at sea slam the famous battle between the Monitor and the Merrlmsc during the Civil War.

A prospector came in who brought a paper with an account of the out- break of war; of Admiral Dewey's coolness at Manills Bay when he gave the order to fire with the famous words, ”You may fire Grid- lsy when you are ready". taking the city without losing a man.

The American ships fire power and range of naval guns was far superior to the glms on Corregldor. Also the daring exploit of Capt. l-iobson in taking in an old ship to the mouth of the harbor under the guns of Fort Morro Castle and sinking her crosswise in the har- bor mouth, thereby battling the much feared Spanish fleet.

There was also the account of the famous Teddy Roosevelt's reg- iment of "Rough Riders", organ. ized by him in Tkxas where he was in charge of a big cattle ranch. They were selected from expert cowboys and Texas rangers and were equal if not superior to any in the world.

They struck terror into the Span-

ish forces in the famous battle of San Juan Hill. It put Theodore Roosevelt so brilliantly in the pub- lic eye that he was placed as Vice President. When President McKin- ley was assassinated by the cow- ardly gunman. anarchist Csolgoz. Teddy auto” tically became Pres- ident 1! ii may encroach on the pat- ience of the reader and digress is bit further-,.I will relate a rather intimate account of an episode demonstrating Teddy Roosevelt's impetuous t ment, which was perhaps one of the principal at- tributes which made him the dar- ling of the common people. . He had developed a robust con- stitution in the great outdoors on the 'Iiexns' plains and feared no man. He even put on the boxing gloves with the great John L. sul- livan - naturally he knew that John was manly enough not to hurt him. King Edward VII. who was ratherydimlnutive in size. had faced John L. and enjoyed the thrills and suffered no contusions or abrasions when he was Prince of Wales.

Teddy and party were enroute to Boston in a large barouche and fast four horse team. The coming visit was heralded far and wide. Everyone i knew the presidential carriage. It was in 1002 or 1903. Automobiles were few and unre- liable at that "time. The horses were driven at a fast clip to make Boston on schedule.

Near Frsmingham the street car line paralleled the highway for a considerable distance. A street car happened to be going in the same direction as the President's car- riage and speeded up enough to keep even. The street car line in-

tersected the highway some dist- ance ahead. ,

The motormsn must have known of the intersection. but. the coach- man most likely didn't know till he came abruptly on it. Both had such speed on that they couldn't stop. It was a terrific bonehesded action on the motormnn's part. The street car struck the iorward part of the carriage. The poor coach- man was killed. g

Roosevelt was thrown to the ground and was ranting mad. He was apparently unhurt. His athletic physique stood him in good stead in the heavy pitch to the ground. If memory serves rightly, he had been sitting beside the coachman. In slang parlance oi the present time, he "blew his top" at the boob motorman and accentuated his cestigation by a. bash in the face with his closed fist. None faulted him. The provocation was great. The rest of the occupants were un- hurt. I

The moronic motorman hence- forth was one of the few men who enjoyed the distinction of being struck in the face by a rrcsident of the United States. A certain Eng- lishman stated in court once upon 3 time that his one and only claim to fame was the fact that he was kicked down stairs by the Marquis of Queensbury.

Rooseveltfs warm and friendly disposition was the direct opposite of'a later President, Calvin Cool- idge. noted for his icy coolness and laconicgbrevity e. g. "I don't choose to rim", when offered a third term, or "he's against it,', when asked by his wife after the Sunday ser- mon what the minister said about "sin". that being the subject of dis- course. The sequel to the newspa- per episode was that the purveyor

was offered one hundred dollars for it' and sold it quickLy.

He was in doubt about the sanity of the buyer. Later in the day the seller saw crowds oi people on- ter a building. He investigated and lo and bcholdi - there was his paper buyer read g the world news to over two hundred people at one dollar per head. Newspapers in frontier towns must necessarllv be limited in size and scope. There was the Klondike Nugget, a single sheet daily in Dawson in 1901.

There was a young Irish reporter named Casey Moran on the three- man staff who was sent out by the "bralns' one morning with severe orders. emphasized by lurid in- vectives to get something "new" or not come back. His spirits were at zero for awhile. Presently he spied some Indians with colorfully com- parisoned dog teams. found out that they were Peel River Indians who had come about two hundred and fifty miles (9 sleem), from over the Rocky Mountain "divide" They were able to make themselves understood well enough, having associated with white traders on the McKenzie.

They told - Casey about e. great bald mountain they had passed with the ribs and timbers of a very large ship on a ledge near the top. That was the electric spark which fired his vivid imagination. His knowledge of geology and fossilized remains of prehistoric animals which could only have existed in hot climates. made him reason that Alaska and Yukon could have been the centreibi human habitation in some-"of the far back ages of the earth's existence.

Hence he deduced that it was quite logical that the real resting place. of the Ark was in Alaska. Dawson" was commuted with the outside world at the time by tele- graph and the startling news was broadcast over the newspaper world. Readers all over wrre thrill- ed and intrigued by the wit and action of a mere unit or its then

tinctly - Pie Woman and Wash Woman - There were a few wom- en in Dawson and on the creeks who did well financially by selling some special commodity or doing some special work in which they excelled. A "pie woman” is sup- posed to have made 325,000 sell- ing pics at 25 cis. each and I saw recently a. news item about a for- mer Klondike woman dying in BC leaving an estate of about sl50,000. when those women made the big money was when gold dust was the only currency. "Dust" was carried in chamois leather "pokes" and weighed out on delicate gold scales in grains. pennyweights and oun- ces. The average value of gold at that time was from 316 to 520 per ounce. The assay of gold from different creeks showed different values.
