G. M. Faulkner
	
In 1916, Dr. G.M. Faulkner was the acting United States consul at Dawson. Faulkner had a 200-acre dairy farm across the Yukon River from Dawson. He had Jersey and Holstein dairy cows and supplied most of the milk and cream for the town. He charged $1.50 a gallon for milk and cream was $2 a quart. He had some land on the islands as well. Faulkner was paying $100 per ton for feed oats, hay, and barley. Chicken feed cost six cents a pound. Cows sold for $250 a head and calves ready to wean went for about $40. He paid as much as twenty-five cents a pound for horse feed. The doctor had sixty-five acres in hay in 1916 and planned to keep the whole crop to feed his cattle.((Frank G.
