In the beginning of the film, Jim Fallon appears in the window opening the divided curtain with both hands. Then the curtain on his right-hand side remains open while he holds the other part with his left hand. In the following shot from inside, the part on his right-hand side is closed.
In the saloon, Daisy dances around and returns to the stage with the help of two men who suspend her. Then we see a fat man standing on the stage corner, in front of a drink glass, clapping her. In the next shot he is drinking.

Walter 'Yukon' Burns has come from the Yukon gold rush, supposedly in Alaska. Although the gold fields of the Yukon Gold Rush of 1897 were predominately in Canada, the Yukon Territory is (and was) completely landlocked, accessibly only by traveling through Alaska on routes such as the Chilkoot Trail, the White Pass Trail, or the Klondike River. It is appropriate to regard 'Yukon' Burns as coming from Alaska.
