MISSING TWO YEARS
F. l.. Marsh of Minnesota Desires to
 Locate His Brother

F. L. Marsh of Champlin, Minn,. has written the following letter of inquiry to the postmaster:
 My brother, s. J. Marsh, left Chi ergo, H., two years ago last June, for Dawson via Skagway, promising to write when he reached the latter place Since that time we have heard nothing from him. He has never been much of hand to write, but it has been so long we are very anxious about him. It is among the possibilities that he never got over the mountains. He Is mining engineer and assaycr, and was well known as such in the Caribou district, where he had been for some years, at Barkerville part of the time, and being employed on government de- velopment work to some extent.
 If you can give any infornation re garding him or will inquire of anyone you think may know, I shall esteem il great favor and will willingly com per sate you for any trouble it may be to you"

THf SEASONS CLEANUP
It Will Be Fully As Heavy As Any Previous Year In the History of the Cnmp-Provisions Are Plen- tiful and the Prices Are Fairly Low-Work on the Creeks

Edward s. Orr, ex-mayor of Taco ma, and prominent freighter of Daw- son. arrived in the city on yesterday afternoons train, and expects to return this month, leaving White Hor,2 about March 25. He may go to Juneau. l.ut no farther South this trip. Nr. Orr says the trail is in fair condition. On the trip out Mir. Orr was accomnanied by H, l. Miller, the shipper of i've stock; Tom Davies, who represented the Canadian Development Company at Dawson and later the Dawson x White Horse Transportation Company; I. Carroll and MT. Robinson, all ot whom came through with the exccp- ton of the last named gentleman, who stopped at White Horse.
 Mir. Orr, talking to reporter of the Daily Alaskan at a local ho.cl last evening, said:
 "We left Dawson last Saturday aft crnoon and made the trip out without special incident. Just at this time Flu reka, which is new creek, is attract ing considerable attention, and it is showing up splendidly. Bench clairs on Hunker and Last Chance have Lee1 worked extensively this winter, and will turn out plenty of dust at the clean up. Gold Run, too, has been worked nuch, one company having dump $ large as this hotel building. The older creeks have all had more attention paid to them this winter than ever before.
 Some of the creek claims, like low er Dominion, for example, are getting tc be more of summer working prop osition than ever More systematic methods of working these claims arc being used, and henceforth they will be mined extensively in the summer"
 What in your opinion, MT. Orr, will te the output of the camp this year compared with previous years?" asked the reporter.
 "It would be difficult at this time,> continued Mir. Orr, "to give an esti- mate of the probable output. From my observations, however, l certainly believe it will be equal if not in ex- cess of any previous year,
 Cone thing can say some persons are making a mistake in taking sup plies in at this time on the theory there IS scarcity in Dawson and that heavy prices will be asked. There is suffi- ciency of everything needed there and trices are normal"

Looks Bad For Nome

At recent meeting of the represcu- tatives of the transportation compaE- ies held in Seattle, the opinion was ex- pressed that only between 6ooo and E. 900 people will go to Nome the com ing season. The calculation is based upon the fact that hardly any inquiry is. being made regarding transporta- ton and freight rates this winter, while last year it took score of clerks to answer questions alone, and besides at- tending to correspondence.

HAzrNG MOI CONFINED TO WEST POINT
Baltimore Students Seem to Have Acquired he
Gei tie Art.
(By the Associated Press.)

Baltimore. Md, Feb. 25.-Henry Schur-
man. a freshman at the Maryland Uni
versity. was driven from the grounds Of
the institution today by his fellow stu
dents, who peIted him with eggs in vari
GUS stages of decay, dead cats, cabbages
and other missiles. This was the result
OF Schurman's resistance to hazing. The
trouble began about week ago when
several students caught Schurman in the
dissecting room of the college, bound and
gagged him and shaved off his moustache,
it being rule among the Sophomores that
freshmen must be clean shaven. Schur-
man. who is a married man. prosecuted
and a magistrate fined the chief of the
offenders S25 and costs. This the stu
dents made up by contribution and when
Schurman again appeared at class he was
roughly treated a second time. Again the
courts fined two more students. Then the
students burned the offending magistrate,
who by the way, is one of the famous
Poe family, in effigy, and Schurman de-
cided to stay away from the University
until the affair blew over Today, es
corted by several policemen in patrol
wagon, he appeared. When the police
men left the bombardment began and he
retreated in confusion before the flying
missiles. Other arrests may follow.
