Launch Carrier in Port

The mail launch Carrier, which has been out of commission sev- eral months, passed up the river last Sunday. The neat little craft was making fairly good time for midwinter navigation on the Yukon.
 Sam Heeter acted the double capacity of captain and pilot and horses furnished the motive power. Just before the freezeup last fall an attempt was made to take the Carrier to her winter berth above town. Her machin- cry failed and she drifted help less!y down stream, being finally landed five miles below town. Placing the launch on his big sled, Mir. Heeter has successfully conducted her to her proper rest, ing. It is said she will be allotted to Mail Superintendent Jules Marion for use on the upper river next season.

CHRISTMAS SERVICES
Christmas at the Catholic
 Church

The birth of the Eternal Word is threefold. He was born of his Father from all eternity, of his Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, in time; and He is spiritually born in the hearts of all good and pious Christians. For per- petual remembrance of this threefold birth of Christmas the Catholic church ordained from the very beginning of Christianity that every priest should should celebrate three Masses on Christmas day.
 The first Mass is generally celebrated at midnight, because it was at mid night that our Savior was born. The second Mass is said at daybreak, because at break of day the shepherds went over to Bethlehem, and found the divine Child lying in a manager adored by Mary and Joseph.
 The third Mass is said in broad day light, and in this last Mass the gospel of St. John is read, which speaks of the Eternal word becoming man and being the light of the world. -,...
 PROGRAM
 Friday, 241h, at midnight, High Mass, followed by Low Mass, during which Christmas hymns will be sung. Ser mon the Nativity of Our Lord.
 Saturday, 10:30 a.m., Low mass. At 7:3O pm, Rosary, evening prayer and benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
 All are cordially invited for the Mid night Mass.

 AUT0SLEO

A new kind of vehicle, intended for use in the winter travel in the Far North, appeared on the streets of Panama last Sunday. In fact, its initial trial took place several weeks ago, but at that time the engine failed to work and the machine was taken back to the garage without having at. tracted especial notice.
 For want of a better name the vehicle is spoken of as an auto sled. It consists of a bobsled, carrying an auto engine and gear and attachments for driving pur- poses.
 The vehicle was built near De troit,' Mick.i, and was sent to G. H. Tiffany by his father, George S. Tiffany, of Detroit. It is the only one of its kind, and, of course, as an experiment, it is only in it's first stage.
 The machine was manned by Slender Hedrick and Messrs. Winterstein and Lybe%ger, the two last named being Sxpert electricians of the signal corps. Starting from Hedrick's shop near Campbell avenue, it jollied along down Second avenue to the schoolhouse. There the power failed. Getting the engine going again, the machine took to the road as though drawn by a team of trained malamutes, turned into the alley and crossed into Front street at the Panama hotel, and fetched up for a second rest in front of the Northern saloon. On this run it had covered a distance equal to about four ordinary city blocks. A few more titful starts were made and the days per. formance was declared closed. The trial was highly satisfactory. except that the engine failed to develop sufficient power.
 The engine is an up to, date 10- horsepower auto engine, and it is believed it will perform much better when thoroughly broken in. :
 There are two drivewheels 10 the machine, one on each side, fastened on an idle" shaft which permits them 10 move up and down and thus adjust themselves to uneven places in the road. The wheels are supplied with spikelil1e teeth which prevent slipping. They are sprocket geared, and the entire mechan. ism is very simple. ...
 Other trials will be made from time to time, and MT. Tiffany is hopeful that the machine will prove practicable, at least for hard-packed roads.

The abatement of the 1909 taxes OF
Leonard & Barrows, the Estabrook' S
Shirt Mfg. Co. and the Duplex Roller
Bushing CO., at the recent meeting OF the
city government, was not, as some may
have supposed, new departure, but
was simply the carrying out of previous
agreements by which these concerns
were to be exempted from taxation for
terms of five or ten years. Under the
law the assessors are obliged to assess
taxes on all property each year and then
the city government may abate said taxes
for that year only.
