IS NOT CONFIRMED.
Reported Drowning of Skagwayans
Not Substantiated.

The rumor has spread to great extent
the last three days that party compris-
ing several Skagwayans hao been drowned
by the wrecking of a ScOw on Windy Arm
last week. The report has gone so far as
to even fix the names of the victims.
However, careful investigation and ex>
tended Inquiry has failed to corroborate
the report. In fact it has not even been
asoertaned to certainty that any SOW or
scows have been wrecked on Windy Arm
or anywhere in that vicinity of late.
Rumor has had 1t that Mr.. Mogeau, for
merlv keeper of the California Market,
Joe Rose. also known here, Mrs. Werner,
formerly of the Puget Sound restaurant,
Mrs. PLAYMATE, who was also in the res
taurant, and Mr. Peabody, formerly fire
man on the railroad, were on the alleged
wrecked seow. Some had certain ones of
the party drowned and some others. 1t
seems from all that can be learned they
started out on scoW of the description of
the one said to be lost, and some one drew
conclusions after wind storm that thew
had been wrecked, and from tongue
TO tongue the matter was given more
or less oredence and was enlarged upon.
Local Canadian officials and railroad off,
Gals have heard nothing but rumors in re-
gard to the matter.

The Healthiest Cities of the World.
Not long since DR.. Benjafield of Ho-
bart, Tasmania, made a claim in The
Lancet that the town was "the health.
est city in the world" because it had q
death rate of only IA per 1000. In re.
ply DR.. Willoughby. the medical officer
of health of Eastbourne, England, says
that the death rate of that place, the
population of which is 8, 900 larger than
that Of Hobart, was only 10. 8 in 1898.
and less than 10 per 1000 in 1897.
We can beat DR., Benjafield's figures
in many towns in this country. In

itapts, the death rate last year, accord.

so that he might be able to dispose of his
