The last bottle Of beer had been emptied
and the bottle thrown into the waste basket
upon the rejected nautical manuscripts
Of Charlie Brcts. the manifest writer who
dips into real literature at times when the
market is overcrowded with best sellers
William j. Rcgan, the head office boy at
Ship News. had gazed longingly at the bot
tie. and his eyes followed 1t when IL fell on
the eifusions Of Mr.. Bretz In salving the
bottle from the Bretx manuscripts William
gathered up several pages Of them. He set
the bottle on desk and plunged boldly into
the typewriter pages. The title on the
first page attracted him. 1t was: Remark
able Voyages Of Bottles"
William read about bottles that had gone
across the sea twice in several yeans drift
ing, others that had followed the course
had been found In the tangled gross Of the
Sargasso Sea. and some that had drifted
into Arctic currents and had been picked
UP by whalers. All these bottles had notes
in them.
After reading Mr.. Bretz's piece Williams
eye lit upon the bottle and he had an in
spiration. He might carry the name Of
Regan far afoat and also immortalze q
bit OF MIR. Bretz's manuscript. He tore
on half page Of the manuscript and on the

The date Of Williams inspiration was
August 7. He was surprised yesterday
to receive a letter enclosing the bottled
note from Edgar Latourette Of Hicksville,
l.. I. Mr.. Latourette wrote that he had
found the note drifting in a lager beer
bottle" in the Arthur Kills of staten Island
on August "a. In it's seventeen days drift
the bottle had not got more than about
twelve miles from the Battery.
William will take up a collection TO pay
Mr.. Latourette should he come around
and demand the money. Judge Harold
I. Smith, an expert on bottles, says that
he believes that the weight Of MIR. Bretzs
manuscript was responsible for the short
trip Of Williams bottle.
The Ship News combination will write
some light and frothy notes within the
next several weeks. In verse and prose.
and cast them on the water in bottles that
they propose to empty in celebration Of the
opening Of the Ambrose Channel. Nothing
but the Eghtest and most buoyant kind OF
literature will be accepted from Mr. Brstz
and his side partner. MIR. Flannery. No
rewards will be paid for the return Of the
notes, Ship News feeling satisfied that
their mere perusal will be reward enough
for the finders.

Fairbanks, Nov 18-The town ot Cleary City was destroyed by fire late Saturday night. The fire it IS thought was caused by defective electric light wiring in the rear rooms of the Totem Saloon, owned by John L. Gage, formerly of Skagway. There was practically no fire protection, except hand grenades and these were of no effect on ac- count of the high wind which was prevailing at the time. The city will not be rebuildt as most of the merchants had already decided to move to Chatanikao the Jreminal of the rail- road at the mouth ot Cleary creek. The loss, no part of which is insured, will exceed four hundred thousand dollars

WONDERFUL FEATS PERFORM
ED BY EXPERT BICYCLISTS

Since bicyclists first gained their
wonderful vogue great interest has
been evinced at the number and va
riety of tricks that could be accom-
plishel upon the wheels. Each troupe
of expert cyclists try to outdo the 9TH
ers in hazardous accomplishments,
and many are the difficult tricks per-
formed upon the whirling wheels, but
it remained for the Avallons, a troupe
of seven young men and women dare
devils to invent all new feats of a
sensational nature. Norris & Rowe
brought the troupe from Europe
where they were a sensation for sew
eral seasons in the huge hippodromes
of England, France and Germany. Ad-
mirers of trick and fancy riding are
legion, and those who ride at all can
best appreciate how difficult are the
tricks performed by the seven Avail
Ions. Upon the high elevated stage
under the mammoth waterproof tents
of the Norris & Rowe big SHOW, the
Avallons execute a number of the
most astonishing and breath COMPEL
ing maneuyers. Down they dash, the
seven in row with their arms en-
twined. then go rapidly into various
figures, then the girls mount upon the
shoulders of the young men three and
four high and from their dizzy perch
aloft they gracefully turn back somer-
saults to the ground, then comes the
difficult fancyx trick and rough riding
until one gazes in spell-bound admi-
ration of the flying graceful figures
1t is indeed a wonderful act and
sends the big audiences away won
dering how on earth the young men
and women accomplish such seeming
ly impossible tricks. The Ayallons
are but one of the more than a hun
dred acts that will be seen when Nor
ris & Rowe exhibit at Roswell Tues
day, October 18th.
