The reports from the Alaskan
regions confirm the story Of an
avalanche which descended near
Sheep Camp, on the Chilikott
trail, on last Sunday morning,
causing eighteen deaths. 1t was
a vast avalanche of snow and ice.
Before residents of the camp
could fully dress they found
themselves being rapidly borne
down the canon on a mass of
moving debris from the mountain
side. The slide struck the town
in the northern part, where near

LAST MEETING OF THE OLD
BOARD HELD YESTERDAY-THE
BUSINESS TRANSACTED.
The old Board of Water Commission
ers met yesterday afternoon for the
last time. A letter was received from
the Street and Sewer Department, stat
ing that 10000 gallons of water were
used daily in sprinkling the streets,
and in the future 100000 gallons would
be used. The supply of water asked for
is about one-twentieth of that used.
and the request will be considered.
Several complaints were received from
property holders of the insufficient
water supply.
The inadequate water service is gen
orally due to small pipes, and this will
be explained to cOmplainants.

LIGHT FOR BRANDYWINE PARK.
THAT is WHAT is NEEDED TO
MAKE THE RESORT THE MOST
POPULAR ABOUT THE CITY.

Brandywine Park is the most beauti-
ful for miles around and why Il is so
little frequented Of evenings is due
largely to the absence OF light During
the day It is very pleasant and has
many visitors. But in the evening
when most persons. and especially
those who are employed during the
daytime, have leisure to enjoy Il, the
park is so dark and gloomy that 10
many the rocks and boulders and trees
take on strange, wierd shapes, and
pleasure fees. In addition TO this, IL Is
not safe for women or children.
Were the park brilliantly illumi-
mated with electric light, this in Itself
would prove a strong attraction, and
thousands OF beauty-loving Whining
tonians would nightly visit the place
to soc the effect OF the lights among
the trees and on the water. After this
first requisite would naturally follow
the amusements which make the parks
controlled by private enterprise more
attractive. Considerable money Is be-
ing spent on the park property, par
ticularly on the new driveway This
will doubtless have the effect of TAX
ing carriages and bicycles to the park,
but no. after nightfall unless the place
be properly or even brilliantly lighted.
Light is what most people demand, es-
pecially when they are on pleasure
bent, and light is sure to make beau
tiful Brandywine Park popular.
