JIM WALLACE
 QUITS THE W. ?.

Yesterday morning the entire freight department of the White Pass & Yukon route was thrown into a state of chaos.
 The clerks went about their work in a listless manner and nothing seemed to go just right.
 It was long after time had been called and still the nice precision with which the office force usually go about their several duties seemed to be lacking.
 Files were called for, way.bills de- handed, and all the little details which make up the days routine were a continuance source of worry and all the time the question was being pronounced, q wonder what is the matter?"
 Had some of the clerks in the of flee been about the station when the train pulled out in the morning, all this could have been forseen, and the reason-sitting leisurely in one of the coaches was Jim Wallace calmly batting his bald pate.
 For many, many years, as the clock in the freight office on the wharf strikes the hour of a. m., Jim has been at his desk ready for the trials and tribulations of the day. But yes terday Jim took a day off and went to Denver Glacier.
 Conditions this morning, it is re- ported, are much better, as at the usual hour, MT Wallace put In his appearance, and there is every indi- cation that the wheels will revolve once more with their accustomed rapidlty and smoothness.
