DANUBE
Will Make Trip for the
 Amur

Agent Dunn of the c. P R. Co. re- ceiyed a telegram yeste day morning advising him that the Danube had taken the Amur's sailing date and left for skagway on Tuesday morning.
 As the Danube has no American li- cense, she can take no passengers from this port. but will come with freight and mail
 It is surmised that the Danube will tow the Amur down to Vancouver on her return trip.
 The passengers CD the Cottage City heard a rumor that the Amur had gone on the rocks near Old Metlakatlah and that the Farallon lad rescued the pas ,encers from thei uncomfortable pre- dicameut, and the story was wired to the Alaskan from Juneau yesterday. Agent Duun's advices from Vancouver are, however, unquestionable. The Amm's passengers were landed at se- attle Sunday.

 Dear Children: Have driven up Co the summit of this mountain in order to take a better view of the situation, so that l can plan to get around to all the children in Alaska in the few hours that is left me. For that reason l have only time to ozonograph you this mes sage Have been inform d that some of the Skagway kids are growing too foxy and that few of them don't be- lieve in me. They had better adopt a better frame of mind before Christmas, or will wipe their names off my list While there's a tolerably hard lot of children in Skagway, they average up pretty well with those further south and 1 have made up my mind to treat them much better than many of them may deserve. want them all to be at the A.
