Greatest of colonizers and American gold rush lore
A long, trimmed item discusses gold as a global driver of settlement, citing California Australia and South Africa as examples. It shifts to anecdotes about duck-breeding on rivers, geese guarding duck pens, and mandarin guards handling a watch goose. A Philadelphia tobacconist notes that women account for a fifth of cigarette sales, naming a club and its brand. Portland firemen now wear aluminum hats for lighter, stronger protection.
