IRvING'S NEW STEAMER
The Two Big Scows for tho Railroad
 Completed.

The shores of Lake Bennett are busy just now from activity in scow and boat yards. T. J. Watson, agent for the John Irving Navigation Company, reports that Captain rving's new steamer, which is to run to Atlin in alienation with the Clean. CT, is fast assuming the shape and dignity of fine craft. Her hull has been com pleted and painted, and men are at work putting on the upper works.
 The two large scows which the railroad company is to use for the carrying of freight from Bennett to Caribou and N. J. Eeney's big steam scow are reported ready to drop in to the water when the lake ice gives way. They have been built on the ice, and therefore will not have to be launched.

Y. M. c. A. Moves Today Back to
 the Presbyterian Church.

The board of directors of the Y. M. C.. A. met at Commissioner Sehlbrede's last night and, as usual, had a long sitting. The soliciting committee of the athletic club was instructed to collect in the funds as soon as possible. The work on the gymnasium is practically completed, with the exception of the plumbing The t ard is anxious to have that also completed, so as to be able to take immediate possession of the building.
 The Y. M. C. A. will move into its old quarters in the Presbyterian church today, and hold its public service there on Sun day afternoon.
 A meeting of the athletic club is called this evening, at which further arrange ments for Wonderland will be gone into.
