IditarOd River Was
 The Lowest Ever

On the lowest stage of water known to river men since the Iditarod was first discovered, the launch Thomas Flyer, a new boat on the IdItarod river, arrived in the city Tuesday even- ing with F tons of freight for Vachon & Sterling. She had made the trip in good time, considering that she draws but five inches and can run on six. She probably struck the lowest stage of water that will prevail this summer, for although it had rained for 24 hours previous to her arrival here, the effect could not be felt in the river until the last few miles, when it began to rise slowly.
 The Thomas Flyer, brought here by Mort Adams, formerly of Fairbanks, carries the engine from Thomas auto mobile and operates a rear paddle. She develops about 40-horse power and is touted as one of the niftiest power boats on the river. Alabam Laboyteau took her down and back on her last triD

Dawson Man Sees
 His Own Grave

Tommy MuIcahy, of Dawson, has been in Ireland visiting his own grave and reading his own epitaph. Tommy left over the winter road in March fer Ireland, and after making the journey of thousands of miles to that little green isle, was shocked to find in the old cemetery at home d monument bearing his name and age and saying that he had died June ,, l899
 The folks at home had been unable to hear from Tommy, except through other northerners. Two other Irish boys and Thomas started for Klondike during the great rush of '98. The three friends became separated on Chilkoot trail and never met again. One of the boys soon drifted home, and c1rried back a report that Tom had been killed in the Chilkoot slide. Two years later the other boy took back the same tale. That settled it with the family at home, and monument was erected to Thomas in the family plot. Dawson News.
