cLAMoRING FOR COIN.
Sub-Contractors Unable to Get What Is Due Them on the New Mis-
 sion High School.

The contractors who have undertaken the building of the new Mission High School met with the Buildings and Grounds Committee of the Board of Edu- cation yesterday to devise some plan whereby the contractors can get the money due them. The contract for the building was awarded to the Ray Build ing Company, which in turn sublet con> pany has been paid about $60, 900. nearly half the amount of the contract price, but has failed to meet it's obligations to the subcontractors. There Is ample money on hand to complete the build ing, and the committee is willing to pay the subcontractors direct to complete their work, but they are clamoring for the money already due them from the Ray Company. The committee could see no way to arbitrate between the con tractors and the company. and 1t was finally decided that the contractors should make another effort to get their money from the company and meet the com mittee again next Tuesday.

Two Victime of the Biq Avalanc che Disaster
 Well Known Here.
They Were Mrs. James Harri- son and Her Brother-in-
 Law, c. F. Harrison.
Brother and Sister-in-Lavv of Po- lice Officer William Har-
 rison.

Among the many victims who per- ished while attempting to cross the Chilcoot Pass, as told in yesterdays s Police Officer William Harrison, and Mrs. James Harrison. The latter was the wife of James Harrison, who is we'll known in this city and who is at present in Dawson City.
 Several months ago James Harrison left this city for Alaska. He left his wife here, promising to send for her as soon as he reached Dawson City. Sev- eral weeks ago Mrs. Harrison received letter from her husband, in which he stated that he had struck it rich and asking her to join him at once. He also wrote to his unfortunate brother, describing the wonderful resources of the frozen north and begging him to accompany his wife in the hazardous trip.
 After thinking the matter over Harri- son consented to make the journey with his sister-in-law. They left here a short time ago and stopped over at Seattle, intending to take the first boat for Alaska
 Last night Police Officer Harrison was officially notified of the tragic death of his brother and sister-in-law. On being told of the sad occurrence Captain Spillane at once granted him a short leave of absence.
 This is sad news indeed, tearfully remarked the brother of the deceased man. He confidently expected to ac- quire considerable wealth in the Alaska gold fields, and believe he would have succeeded except for his tragic ending. Jim left this city some time ago. in tending to send for his wife as soon as he had located a claim. The last letter we received from him announced that he had struck it rich and asking his wife to join him. He expected that Charley would accompany her, as 1t was agreed that he should do so. They left this city several weeks ago thor oughly satisfied that they would have a hazardous trip, but earnestly hoping to reach Dawson City.
 After reaching Seattle they wrote me that they were ready to embark on their perilous journey and promised to let me know just as soon as they reached Dawson.
 .'The sad occurrence will greatly af- feet by brother Jim, as he was very much attached to his wife. I intend to do all in my power to get possession of the bodies, but from the present reports it may be very doubtful. However. have already communicated with the authorities of Alaska with view of securing the remains of my dead rela- tiveS."
