EVENTFUL EXPERIENCE
 OF THOMAS GAVENY
Prospector Loses His Partner, Boat and Outfit, and Is Castaway on a
 Rock in the Kahiltna River.

An eventful experience was that which befeu Thomas Caveny, who re- turned on the steamer Bertha from the Yentna goldfelds. His partnerdrOwn- ed: boat wrecked: outfit lost, and com pelled to keep a weary vigil for six long days on a lonely rock emerging from rapidly flowing waters, with nothing to sustain life but scant sup ply of lour-Such, in brief, is the story of his unfortunate prospecting trip.
 Caveny left Seward on May 13 for the new diggings. At Tyoonok he took as a partner a young man named John T. Coles. Together they built a boat. outfitted at SuSitna station, and finally reached Peters creek, a tribu- tary of the Kahiltna river. They remained there a short time, and then decided to go to Lake creek. While going down the Kahiltna, their boat struck large boulder. The force of the blow practically demolished the little craft and the occupants and out fit were thrown into the river. Cave ny and Coles managed to scramble out on the rock, which afforded them tenn porary safety. The accident occurred on the 22nd day of June, and for three days the castaways waited for succor. During this time portion of a sack of flour was their only food, and it became apparent that they must themselves make final effort to reach the shore.
 The wrecked boat was lying partly submerged near the rock, and it was thought possible to construct a tempo rary raft sufficiently strong to carry them to the nearest bank from the re- maining boards. With difficulty a frail raft was completed. Coles had gotten on the crude structure, when in some way the line from the raft to the rock parted and off down the swift running stream went Coles on his frail boat, leaving Caveny on the boulder. Coles was hurled around bend in the river, and was lost from sight.
 Three more days went by, and Cave ny had about succumbed as result of his terrible privations, when on June 2S T. H. Jeter and Charles Carlson came along in a boat and rescued him. Nothing has since been heard oi Coles and there is no doubt but that he was drowned, as the raft was afterward found on the shore about a mile below the rock.
 Coles formerly lived in Victoria, B. C., was about 35 years old and prior tc his departure for the Yentna was g camp cook on the Alaska Central.

BRINGS SQUAD OF
 MEN FROM VALDEZ
J. M. Moore Finds Job Lot Looking for Work and AnnGxeS Them
 for Alaska Central.

One of the interesting consignments brought by the Oregon was 46 laborers from Valdez whom J. NJ. Moore picked up in that port for the Alaska Central. He advanced fare for 3l and says he could have brought 100 more if his pockts had contained the loose change to pay their transportation.
 Mr. Moore had been to Seattle hav- ing a good time and when he reached Valdez his spirits were soaring so buoyantIy at the near prospect of get ting back to the only real town on the Southern coast that he was in proper mood to act like a philanthropiSt. Wherefore when he saw squads of men moping around with their hands in their pockets he was moved to in ouire as did another philanthropist nineteen centuries before;
 "Why stand ye around all the day idle?"
 And the parties addressed replied:
 Because no man hath hired us"
 Whereupon the emisSary of the Alaska Central pointed the way of sal vation to all who had the price of a ticket to Seward, and as most of them were branded "23" he advanced his own coin for the unfortunateS until his pockets were empty.

TO PREVENT HARDNESS.
New Rule May be Adopted in the
 Schools of the City.

At a recent meeting of the prin- cipals of the various schools an idea
 was suggested which if carried out will tend to lessen the tardy marks
 in all the buildings in the city. The
 plan, which is also favored by Super ! intendent of Schools Tinker, is to allow all rooms which have had no
 cases of tardiness during the week to be dismissed at 2:30 Friday after
 moons.
 Some claimed that there was enough time already taken out of
 the school year by vacations and days
 off and that allowing the schools to be dismissed at an early afternoon would be almost the same as having only a one session on that day. They put up the argument that it is no more than right for the children to be on time every day during the week and did not at all favor the idea of giving them an hour on Fri day.
 On the other hand the teachers who advocated the plan could see good
 results coming from the same. No room which had even one case of tardiness during the five days would receive the extra hour and they maintain that such being the case all pupils would be more than eager to report on time, being aware of the fact that one tardy scholar would kill the chances of all the others in that room.
 The principals and teachers in this city have been endeavoring and have had much success in reducing the number of tardy cases in their schools. The subject was under dis cussion for some time and the result of the meeting was that the affair was left in the hands of the prin- cipals. Any principal who cares to carry out the plan may do so while those who look with disfavor on the same may do as they have been doing in the past. This arrangement will hardly be allowed to stand as 1t, would undoubtedly cause much hard feeling among the teachers and pu- pills, since some would have the hour off while others would be compelled to stay full time.
