Planck caught his meaning quickly
enough, indeed, duller man could
have read it in Roscoe s savage light
blue eyes; and the thought made his
teeth chatter. He would have felt n
deadlier terror, perhaps. could he have
read the thought that lay at the bot
tom of Roscoe S mind. The gold hunter
was not much of sailor, but he felt
confident That on the broad stretches
Of the Yukon he could navigate a raft
alone.
"There's this" said PIanck after a

to maroon that whole party, those that
You don't kill, on this forsaken coast.

was as if he had intended to surprise

seemed satisfied. however, with the OK.

Richard Valiant has leased the
old Owl restaurant building of it's
present owner. Hugh Neary, and
will install an up-to-date steam
laundry in the near future. The
building is being completely over
hauled and remodeled and made
suitable for the new institution and
emplete outfit of machinery
has been ordered which will enable
the proprietor to turn out work in
the very best of shape. Mr.. Val
liant has made arrangements to
secure experienced help and ex-
poets to be able to do work that
will merit your patronage. AL
though the arrival of machinery
may be delayed the proprietor
will make an effort to have things
ready for business some time next
week. The new concern will fill a
long felt want in Philip, as it has
sometimes been impossible to have
laundry work done, and everyone
thus far has been compelled to
send their work out of town to
distant points and wait a long time
for it to be returned and then the
work has been far from satisfac-
tory. We wish the new enterprise
all kinds of success.
