graph Creek

Tacoma, April 12.-Steamer Navarro
arrived on the Sound from Lynn Canal
points yesterday. She reports a de-
cidedly disordered state of affairs at
Wrangel at which point she called on
the down trip.
About 1000 people are camped at the
mouth of the Stickine, being unable to
ascend the river owing to slush ice
Probably 1900 succeeded in moving on
to Telegraph creek in advance of the
last thaw.
The prospect is that those who were
not so fortunate must wait until the
stream is sufficiently clear of ice to
permit of steamboat navigation, as
there is not much likelihood of another
freeze this season
