Letter: Open letter to CBC Yukon
The Yukon Chamber of Mines (YCM) was pleased to see that corrections were made to your online story (Canada and U.S. Department of Defence invest $35M in the Yukon's Mactung mine | CBC News). This recent announcement of Canadian and US government funding for preconstruction work associated with infrastructure related to Fireweed Metals’ Mactung and MacPass projects is a significant positive for both the Yukon’s mining industry and the territory as a whole; as it will support improvements to the North Canol Road – a public route – that is in need of upgrades.
While we are pleased to see the corrections, we are extremely disappointed they had to be made in the first place. As a public broadcaster, the CBC owes Yukoners and Canadians a standard of journalism that is factual, fair and balanced. The initial CBC Yukon story failed on all three counts by making inappropriate, unfounded and deliberately inflammatory linkages to potential uses of metals from Mactung, and through numerous factual errors in reporting that cast the proponent, project and industry in a poor light. This damaged the reputation of one of our members and implied there should not be investment in Yukon critical minerals. This would be unacceptable in any journalistic endeavour and is especially egregious from Canada’s public broadcaster. Despite the corrections made, the article continues to include a photograph of a “missile launch” that has no relation whatsoever to the project and continues to include a quote which references a “link between this mine and missile production” without any note that this supposed “link” is unfounded.
We trust CBC will accurately report on our industry in the future. The YCM is always available to comment on news and provide factual information about our industry. We will be there to assist you with accurate reporting and will be correcting the record should your reporting fail to meet journalistic standards.

Yukon Premier meets with US president-elect Donald Trump’s son
Yukon Premier Ranj Pillai has met with Donald Trump Jr., the son of Donald Trump, the U.S. president-elect.
In a press release sent out on Dec. 23, Pillai said he met with Trump Jr. on Dec. 21, in North Carolina.
Pillai said he and Trump Jr. talked “about the many ways that Canada and the United States – and the Yukon and the United States – can further deepen our already strong partnership.”
The statement goes on to say that at a recent Council of the Federation (COF) meeting, which took place on Dec. 16 in Toronto, Canada’s premiers decided to begin outreach with American contacts.
“Following the COF meeting, Mr. Trump and I took the opportunity to discuss concerns about proposed tariffs on Canadian imports to the United States, which would harm jobs, affordability, investment and supply chains on both sides of the border,” Pillai said in the statement.
Pillai thanked Trump Jr. for his generosity, and said that he looks forward to continuing conversations that will improve security, prosperity and resilience in both Canada and the United States.
According to a release published on Dec. 16 by the Council of the Federation, Premiers will be embarking on a mission trip south of the border in February “to further cement ongoing work to build strong U.S. partnerships.”

As Trudeau faces calls to resign, Yukon Premier lobbies Donald Trump Jr. over bear-meat snacks
'I made sure that I brought him, Don, some clothing, because I wanted to remind him that the Trump family businesses were Yukon-built,' Premier Ranj Pillai said
Although Canada faces a major trade war with the U.S. as soon as President-elect Donald Trump enters office in less than a month, Justin Trudeau has been distracted by a leadership crisis that could topple him as prime minister.
The situation has Canada’s regional leaders hopping on flights to influence the incoming Trump administration themselves.
For Yukon Premier Ranj Pillai, that led to chewing the fat with the president-elect’s eldest son, Donald J. Trump Jr., over meals of black bear spring rolls, turkey, deer and oysters at a hunting lodge in North Carolina.
Don Jr., as he’s often called, has frequented the Yukon for hunting trips, a passion Pillai shares. And the Trumps have ties to the region. More than a century ago, Donald Trump Sr.’s grandfather Friedrich Trump capitalized on the Yukon gold rush with a restaurant, bar and brothel in a remote town close to the northern territory’s border.
“I made sure that I brought him, Don, some clothing, because I wanted to remind him that the Trump family businesses were Yukon-built,” Pillai said by phone. The two first met at a conference in Nevada a few months prior.
Pillai said the conversations were “incredibly positive” and an opportunity to “share some data points” and argue that the US-Canada trading deficit that stokes the president-elect’s ire “is only because we’re sending raw materials to them, and they’re creating jobs and value from that.”
They also discussed the Yukon’s efforts on Arctic security and “opportunities to secure supply chains inside of North America.”

Some of those projects are already happening. Earlier this month, the U.S. Department of Defense and the Canadian government jointly announced they’d invest in a Yukon tungsten mining project.
Although Trump Jr. was quick to point out that he has no official role in the upcoming administration, people connected to the transition team were present over the weekend, Pillai said.
The premiers of Canada’s provinces and territories are trying to set up formal meetings with Trump’s transition team before Jan. 20, he added, sharing his worry that the federal government could be doing more.

“I’ve had some very, very brief dialog with Dominic LeBlanc, but other than that there does not seem to be a full-scale strategy coming from Ottawa, with a series of different ministers taking on certain responsibilities,” Pillai said, referring to new Finance Minister LeBlanc. He replaced Trudeau’s longtime deputy Chrystia Freeland after she dramatically resigned Dec. 16, destabilizing Trudeau’s government.

Famous poet /1874-1958 • Ranked #52 in the top 500 poets
Robert W Service
Robert W. Service was a poet of the Yukon. His adventurous life took him from the banks of Scotland to the gold fields of Canada and the glamour of Hollywood, but his name remains synonymous with the Klondike Gold Rush. He captured the spirit of that era, its hardships, its dreams of fortune, and the colorful characters who populated this last frontier.
Service's poetry is characterized by its strong narratives and accessible language. He employed traditional rhyme schemes and rhythms, making his poems easy to read and memorize. This accessibility contributed to his immense popularity, with his works finding a wide audience among both everyday readers and literary critics.
His work bears comparison to other poets of the late 19th and early 20th centuries who focused on themes of adventure and the natural world, such as Rudyard Kipling and John Masefield. Service's unique contribution lies in his focus on the Yukon and the particular spirit of the Gold Rush, making him a chronicler of a specific time and place.
Even today, Service's poetry continues to capture the imaginations of readers. His vivid depictions of the Yukon landscape and the raw human experience of the Gold Rush provide a timeless glimpse into a bygone era. His work remains popular, with his poems still being recited and enjoyed by audiences worldwide.
The Shooting of Dan McGrew
A bunch of the boys were whooping it up in the Malamute saloon;The kid that handles the music-box was hitting a jag-time tune;
Back of the bar, in a solo game, sat Dangerous Dan McGrew,
And watching his luck was his light-o'-love, the lady that's known as Lou.
When out of the night, which was fifty below, and into the din and glare,
There stumbled a miner fresh from the creeks, dog-dirty, and loaded for bear.
He looked like a man with a foot in the grave and scarcely the strength of a louse,
Yet he tilted a poke of dust on the bar, and he called for drinks for the house.
There was none could place the stranger's face, though we searched ourselves for a clue;
But we drank his health, and the last to drink was Dangerous Dan McGrew.
Can't give them away: Vintage upright pianos are meeting a sorry end
‘The era for old uprights is coming to a close,' P.E.I. tuner says with regret
Scroll through an online for-sale site like Kijiji or Facebook Marketplace and you will almost always spot old upright pianos on offer, either for free or for a very, very low price.
The wooden pianos can be beautiful, but the ads tend to stay up a while because the instruments are very heavy to move and often out of tune.
"At one point in time, I thought at least every other home had a piano, because I could drive down the street and say, 'I've been there, I've been there, I've been there,'" says Mike Klomp, who has been tuning and repairing pianos on Prince Edward Island for more than 35 years.
Klomp used to take free upright pianos, fix them up and sell them. Now he won't take them, because there is no market for them.
"I couldn't even resell it, because the amount that I would have to put into it would exceed the amount I would ever get for it. It's unfortunate," he said.
Space is an issue
Janine Gosbee of Cornwall, P.E.I., was given an old upright a few years ago, when her daughter started learning piano. But now her daughter is in a school band program, and has dropped piano lessons.
Gosbee has had the piano listed as free for several weeks — but the ad has garnered only three lukewarm inquiries.

"Most of them were actually just asking about the measurements of the piano for a place to put it in their home. So that's kind of an issue too — just people having the space in their home for it," Gosbee said.
She is surprised there's so little interest in a free piano, speculating that fewer people might be learning to play, or those who do play are opting for electronic keyboards that are light and portable.
There was a big explosion in manufacturing and selling upright pianos in the 1920s, '30s and '40s, Klomp said. Many people were taught to play as part of a well-rounded education, and the pianos were a social hub in many homes in the days before radio and TV sets took hold.
But now, more and more of those pianos have reached the end of their usefulness, and people are having a hard time finding places for them.
'Send them to the dump'
Klomp said people usually put the old uprights in two places: online, or in a landfill.
"They will advertise them as free pianos, so they won't have to spend money on moving them, or they will send them to the dump," he said. "Some will donate them to churches, schools, different places, but the problem is those places, I've seen churches with five pianos, and they only use one."
'I would love to have hope for a piano, but pianos do have a lifespan,' says Mike Klomp, who's been tunring and repairing pianos on P.E.I. for 35 years. 'I would like to see them somehow saved, but cost is generally the thing.' (Laura Meader/CBC)
Klomp said when he started years ago, he spent 60 per cent of his time tuning old upright pianos. Now, he spends about 60 per cent of his time tuning newer Yamaha uprights.
Some of the old pianos simply need a tuning, which costs less than $200 per year. But if they haven't been tuned annually, or P.E.I.'s varying humidity has damaged them, Klomp says it could take $1,000 to $5,000 just to repair one to the point it would be tunable.
"I just tuned one that was 120 years, and it was still viable, but just viable," he said.
This old upright was dumped by the roadside in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Many vintage pianos are meeting an ignominious end like this. (Kris Ketonen/CBC)
He advises anyone interested in acquiring a vintage upright piano to do the research to find out if it's worth the effort and cost of moving it.
"It is buyer beware, or taker beware. You really need to know before you move a piano that it's even viable to tune," he said.
I just want it to go to a home that will love it as much as we loved it.
— Pat MacKinnon
A lack of space to accommodate her growing family led Pat MacKinnon of Dunstaffnage to post her family's piano online for free, but she hasn't found a taker yet either.
She estimates the instrument to be about 150 years old. It's been in MacKinnon's home for about 30 years, handed down by her parents.
Pat MacKinnon of Dunstaffnage, P.E.I., posted her family's piano online for free because she doesn't have the space in her home for it anymore. (Laura Meader/CBC)
She doesn't want to see the piano scrapped — she said it might need to be tuned, but it's in good condition and still has some life left.
"As time passes, I know that I'm not using the piano, none of my children have space for the piano, and I just want it to go to a home that will love it as much as we loved it," MacKinnon said.
"It would make me really happy to know that some little boy or girl — or even some person who would like to have a piano and really can't afford a new one — would take it in their home, love it and play it."
Klomp said new acoustic pianos are still being made and have become more popular than the old uprights.
"I would say that the era for old uprights is coming to a close," he said. "The inevitability is that one day, those pianos will be gone… The ones that have musical value — yeah, I'm sad about those."
'Maybe it shouldn't leave'
Gosbee said if there are no takers for her free piano, she will hang onto it for a few years in the hope that someone will eventually take it.
In the meantime, her daughter's interest has been rekindled, at least temporarily.
"Now that it's Christmas, she actually started playing the Christmas carols again, and she started teaching her little brother a little bit, so I don't know, now I'm kind of like, 'Maybe it shouldn't leave,'" Gosbee said.

Please DO NOT donate your old pianos to your local museum. Our local museum, in a town of 7000 people, has 14 pianos sitting in storage that they can't do anything with. Because they are donations, they have no choice but to hold onto them. They are prevented from selling or throwing them out. Not a single one is of any value, people just thought because it's old it would be a nice thing to donate. It's not! It's a nightmare and tax payers are paying for their storage.

He's "The Piano Man"
Or Tom Waits loves old funky stuff.
Elton John should fund a home for senior pianos.
And such was he, and he looked to me like a man who had lived in hell;
With a face most hair, and the dreary stare of a dog whose day is done,
As he watered the green stuff in his glass, and the drops fell one by one.
Then I got to figgering who he was, and wondering what he'd do,
And I turned my head--and there watching him was the lady that's known as Lou.
His eyes went rubbering round the room, and he seemed in a kind of daze,
Till at last that old piano fell in the way of his wandering gaze.
The rag-time kid was having a drink; there was no one else on the stool,
So the stranger stumbles across the room, and flops down there like a fool.
In a buckskin shirt that was glazed with dirt he sat, and I saw him sway,
Then he clutched the keys with his talon hands--my God! but that man could play."
And the icy mountains hemmed you in with a silence you most could hear;
With only the howl of a timber wolf, and you camped there in the cold,
A helf-dead thing in a stark, dead world, clean mad for the muck called gold;
While high overhead, green, yellow, and red, the North Lights swept in bars?--
Then you've a hunch what the music meant...hunger and might and the stars.
And hunger not of the belly kind, that's banished with bacon and beans,
But the gnawing hunger of lonely men for a home and all that it means;
For a fireside far from the cares that are, four walls and a roof above;
But oh! so cramful of cosy joy, and crowded with a woman's love--
A woman dearer than all the world, and true as Heaven is true--
(God! how ghastly she looks through her rouge,--the lady that's known as Lou.)
Then on a sudden the music changed, so soft that you scarce could hear;
But you felt that your life had been looted clean of all that it once held dear;
That someone had stolen the woman you loved; that her love was a devil's lie;
That your guts were gone, and the best for you was to crawl away and die.
'Twas the crowning cry of a heart's despair, and it thrilled you through and through--
"I guess I'll make it a spread misere," said Dangerous Dan McGrew."
And it seemed to say, "Repay, repay," and my eyes were blind with blood.
The thought came back of an ancient wrong, and it stung like a frozen lash,
And the lust awoke to kill, to kill...then the music stopped with a crash,
And the stranger turned, and his eyes they burned in a most peculiar way;
In a buckskin shirt that was glazed with dirt he sat, and I saw him sway;
Then his lips went in in a kind of grin, and he spoke, and his voice was calm,
And "Boys," says he, "you don't know me, and none of you care a damn;
But I want to state, and my words are straight, and I'll bet my poke they're true,
That one of you is a hound of hell...and that one is Dan McGrew."
Then I ducked my head and the lights went out, and two guns blazed in the dark;
And a woman screamed, and the lights went up, and two men lay stiff and stark.
Pitched on his head, and pumped full of lead, was Dangerous Dan McGrew,
While the man from the creeks lay clutched to the breast of the lady that's known as Lou.
These are the simple facts of the case, and I guess I ought to know.
They say that the stranger was crazed with "hooch," and I'm not denying it's so.
I'm not so wise as the lawyer guys, but strictly between us two--
The woman that kissed him and--pinched his poke--was the lady known as Lou."
Trump says he urged Wayne Gretzky to run for Canadian prime minister in Christmas visit
Trump added that it would be 'fun to watch' if Canadians launched a movement to get the retired hockey player to seek office
Author of the article:
U.S. president-elect Donald Trump says he told Canadian hockey legend Wayne Gretzky during a Christmas Day visit that he should run for prime minister of Canada.
His comment about being governor of Canada refers to Trump repeatedly suggesting the country become a U.S. state, which Ottawa insists is a joke.
Trump added that it would be “fun to watch” if Canadians launched a movement to get the retired hockey player to seek office.
The Canadian Press has tried to contact Gretzky through his agents.
Experts have said that Ottawa is rightfully focused on the prospect of damaging tariffs under the looming Trump presidency instead of pushing back on rhetoric about annexing or purchasing Canada.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau leads a minority government that could be toppled by a confidence vote next year, following the surprise resignation of finance minister Chrystia Freeland.
Trump also expressed Christmas greetings to Trudeau, again referring to him as a governor and claiming that Canadians would see a tax cut of more than 60 per cent if the country became an American state.“Their businesses would immediately double in size, and they would be militarily protected like no other country anywhere in the world,” Trump wrote in a post that also alluded to his desire to annex Greenland and the Panama Canal.
Gretzky has previously backed Conservative politicians, such as former Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown during his run for the party leadership.
During the 2015 federal election, Conservative leader Stephen Harper interviewed Gretzky in front of hundreds of supporters as the Tories unsuccessfully sought re-election.
At the event, Gretzky told Harper he thought he had been an “unreal prime minister” who had been “wonderful to the whole country.”
Gretzky later said he always follows a prime minister’s request, regardless of political stripe, noting he had once hosted a lunch for former Liberal prime minister Pierre Trudeau.

The Numbers: Predicting politics in 2025
Q&A: Why Alberta Premier Danielle Smith agrees with Trump about border issues in trade spat
Premier also said reforming health-care system will take strain off hospitals
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's 2024 was a year of following through on her promises — from health-care reforms to support for the oil and gas industry — even as her opponents fought her ideas.
In a year-end interview at the legislature in early December, Smith reflected on a few pressing issues.
The Alberta government's next steps, she said, will be revealed in the provincial budget, set to be tabled on Feb. 27.
This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
International relations
After U.S. president-elect Donald Trump threatened a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian goods, you supported his concern that the Canada- U.S. border is too porous to drugs and migrants. Can you elaborate on your position?
The issue we face in Western Canada is clearly the drug overdose problem, and it's gotten even more acute post-COVID-19. Product is coming in from British Columbia and then finding its way down into the United States through Alberta, or precursors are coming into Alberta and then finding their way back into the United States.
We identified this problem years ago. Mike Ellis, my public safety minister, had already begun the process of training up a team of sheriffs that could be deployed for border patrol and addressing the fentanyl issue. It just seemed like, yup, this is a problem. That's a problem for us. It's a problem for the Americans. Let's solve it.
Protecting Alberta from outside interests
You have expressed concerns about Ottawa imposing on Alberta's jurisdiction; some people perceived Trump's tariff messaging in the same vein. How are you protecting Alberta's interests from foreign governments?
We've made no secret about our disappointment with the federal approach to addressing the issue of drug overdose and crime. They brought through a bill that created a revolving door of criminals and we've been working on trying to get that tightened up. It hasn't worked.
We also vehemently oppose their approach on safe supply. We don't think that the way that you get people off drugs is to put more high-powered opioids into the market.
I'm glad that the federal government is now beginning to see that there are consequences to the policies that they've adopted. Now they have to align with the things that we want to do to preserve our trade relationship — which is the most important trade relationship, probably, on the planet.
What I think we can do in Alberta is talk to the Americans about how we jointly benefit from our cross-border trade. We can use oil and gas as a point of leverage to say, because of this strong relationship, all Canadian goods should be tariff-free.
Reforming the health-care system
You're restructuring Alberta Health Services with a goal of improving care. How did you get to the idea of restructuring AHS by function?
It came from looking into the system and trying to figure out what is the core business that Alberta Health Services is supposed to be delivering. And the answer was, everything. And if everything is your core business, then it's really hard to get a focus.
We just kept finding little problems that were occurring because there wasn't dedicated interest in each of these different aspects of health care. We wanted Alberta Health Services to focus on hospitals. They should deliver the very best acute care because they manage the bulk of our hospital facilities.
So, who's going to deal with the doctors and the nurse practitioner contract, and pharmacy? A lot of that was already in the [provincial health] department. But some of those functions had to be brought into the new entities.

The plan would create four agencies responsible for primary care, acute care, continuing care, and mental health and addiction. Do other jurisdictions divide it up that way? What did they achieve?
A lot of hospitals have become the only door that people can enter into our system.
If Alberta Health Services manages everything, all of that comes into the hospital. And so you have people who have very complex needs, [such as] seniors with mental health issues, maybe even addiction issues. This is the most expensive bed that they're in — a $2,500-a-day bed.
Patients need to have care in the right place, by the right practitioner. And that's why we're dividing it into the four service provision areas. I think that our staff within Alberta Health Services will be much happier in returning the hospitals to their original function, which is that acute care function.
Listening to Albertans
Your supporters love that you take the time to listen to them. How do some of their concerns go on to become government policy?
Since I completed my economics degree, I got into property rights advocacy, then became a business advocate, advocacy journalist, as well as a talk show host and TV show host. And you just talk to hundreds of people who have good ideas.
Our process is to listen to everyone. We believe that the private sector creating good jobs is good for everybody because it creates tax revenue for us to care for the most vulnerable.
We recently announced our [artificial intelligence] data centre policy. That was something that I wasn't even talking about two years ago. People kept asking us whether there would be an appetite for this. My minister put together a working group of seven or eight other ministers to figure out the different pieces of it — municipal taxes, energy, electricity, gas, water and cooling location — and it culminated in a policy.
When you hear from enough people that there's an issue that needs provincial attention, we give it the attention, so that we can get the best answers and move quickly on implementing them.
Premier François Legault meets Trump and Musk in Paris as tariff threat looms
'With U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to discuss Canadian border controls and tariffs on Canadian products,' Premier François Legault wrote in a post on X
The two leaders crossed paths during the reopening of Notre-Dame Cathedral, nearly five years after its devastating fire.
The high-profile event drew dignitaries including French President Emmanuel Macron, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Prince of Wales. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau skipped the event to attend a vigil in Montreal marking the anniversary of the 1989 Polytechnique massacre.
Legault shared his encounter with the president-elect in a brief post on X.
“With U.S. president-elect Donald Trump to discuss Canadian border controls and tariffs on Canadian products,” he wrote.
He also shared a picture of himself with Elon Musk, who had accompanied Trump in Paris, in a separate X post. Legault said the two discussed trade and electric vehicles.
Trump and Musk had not publicly commented on the meeting as of Saturday evening.

Trump threatened last month to impose a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian and Mexican imports, calling on the two countries to reduce the flow of migrants and fentanyl across the U.S. border.
Legault warned the tariffs could severely affect Quebec’s economy. The province relies heavily on exports to the U.S., which totalled nearly $90 billion in 2023, with key products including aluminum, aircraft and energy.
Amid the threat, Legault has said he believes Trump’s fears about a rise in migration at the U.S.’s northern and southern borders are “legitimate.”

Last week, Trudeau visited Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort to discuss Trump’s concerns and threat.
Trump reportedly joked about making Canada the “51st state.”
While federal Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc dismissed the remark as a joke, Trump later posted a picture featuring a Canadian flag with the caption “Oh Canada.”
Both Legault’s and Trump’s teams have been contacted for further comment.
Famous poet /1874-1958 • Ranked #52 in the top 500 poets
Robert W Service
Robert W. Service was a poet of the Yukon. His adventurous life took him from the banks of Scotland to the gold fields of Canada and the glamour of Hollywood, but his name remains synonymous with the Klondike Gold Rush. He captured the spirit of that era, its hardships, its dreams of fortune, and the colorful characters who populated this last frontier.
Service's poetry is characterized by its strong narratives and accessible language. He employed traditional rhyme schemes and rhythms, making his poems easy to read and memorize. This accessibility contributed to his immense popularity, with his works finding a wide audience among both everyday readers and literary critics.
His work bears comparison to other poets of the late 19th and early 20th centuries who focused on themes of adventure and the natural world, such as Rudyard Kipling and John Masefield. Service's unique contribution lies in his focus on the Yukon and the particular spirit of the Gold Rush, making him a chronicler of a specific time and place.
Even today, Service's poetry continues to capture the imaginations of readers. His vivid depictions of the Yukon landscape and the raw human experience of the Gold Rush provide a timeless glimpse into a bygone era. His work remains popular, with his poems still being recited and enjoyed by audiences worldwide.
The Shooting of Dan McGrew
The kid that handles the music-box was hitting a jag-time tune;
Back of the bar, in a solo game, sat Dangerous Dan McGrew,
And watching his luck was his light-o'-love, the lady that's known as Lou.
When out of the night, which was fifty below, and into the din and glare,
There stumbled a miner fresh from the creeks, dog-dirty, and loaded for bear.
He looked like a man with a foot in the grave and scarcely the strength of a louse,
Yet he tilted a poke of dust on the bar, and he called for drinks for the house.
There was none could place the stranger's face, though we searched ourselves for a clue;
But we drank his health, and the last to drink was Dangerous Dan McGrew.
There's men that somehow just grip your eyes, and hold them hard like a spell;
And such was he, and he looked to me like a man who had lived in hell;
With a face most hair, and the dreary stare of a dog whose day is done,
As he watered the green stuff in his glass, and the drops fell one by one.
Then I got to figgering who he was, and wondering what he'd do,
And I turned my head--and there watching him was the lady that's known as Lou.
His eyes went rubbering round the room, and he seemed in a kind of daze,
Till at last that old piano fell in the way of his wandering gaze.
The rag-time kid was having a drink; there was no one else on the stool,
So the stranger stumbles across the room, and flops down there like a fool.
In a buckskin shirt that was glazed with dirt he sat, and I saw him sway,
Then he clutched the keys with his talon hands--my God! but that man could play.
Were you ever out in the Great Alone, when the moon was awful clear,
And the icy mountains hemmed you in with a silence you most could hear;
With only the howl of a timber wolf, and you camped there in the cold,
A helf-dead thing in a stark, dead world, clean mad for the muck called gold;
While high overhead, green, yellow, and red, the North Lights swept in bars?--
Then you've a hunch what the music meant...hunger and might and the stars.
And hunger not of the belly kind, that's banished with bacon and beans,
But the gnawing hunger of lonely men for a home and all that it means;
For a fireside far from the cares that are, four walls and a roof above;
But oh! so cramful of cosy joy, and crowded with a woman's love--
A woman dearer than all the world, and true as Heaven is true--
(God! how ghastly she looks through her rouge,--the lady that's known as Lou.)
Then on a sudden the music changed, so soft that you scarce could hear;
But you felt that your life had been looted clean of all that it once held dear;
That someone had stolen the woman you loved; that her love was a devil's lie;
That your guts were gone, and the best for you was to crawl away and die.
'Twas the crowning cry of a heart's despair, and it thrilled you through and through--
"I guess I'll make it a spread misere," said Dangerous Dan McGrew.
The music almost dies away...then it burst like a pent-up flood;
And it seemed to say, "Repay, repay," and my eyes were blind with blood.
The thought came back of an ancient wrong, and it stung like a frozen lash,
And the lust awoke to kill, to kill...then the music stopped with a crash,
And the stranger turned, and his eyes they burned in a most peculiar way;
In a buckskin shirt that was glazed with dirt he sat, and I saw him sway;
Then his lips went in in a kind of grin, and he spoke, and his voice was calm,
And "Boys," says he, "you don't know me, and none of you care a damn;
But I want to state, and my words are straight, and I'll bet my poke they're true,
That one of you is a hound of hell...and that one is Dan McGrew."
Then I ducked my head and the lights went out, and two guns blazed in the dark;
And a woman screamed, and the lights went up, and two men lay stiff and stark.
Pitched on his head, and pumped full of lead, was Dangerous Dan McGrew,
While the man from the creeks lay clutched to the breast of the lady that's known as Lou.
These are the simple facts of the case, and I guess I ought to know.
They say that the stranger was crazed with "hooch," and I'm not denying it's so.
I'm not so wise as the lawyer guys, but strictly between us two--
The woman that kissed him and--pinched his poke--was the lady known as Lou.
