NEARLY DRowSs
 WHILE CROSSING RIVER

W. R. Coburn arrived In this city last Friday from one Of the most ex- citing adventures of his life. which came near resulting in his death from drowning.
 In company with his brother. !. L. Coburn. he vas returning from Atlin, and when they arrived at the old wagon road at Hollister, he att tempted to cross the river on a log. After showing it Into the water, he stepped upon it and the current rapidly hurried his raft down stream The water was deeper and more violent than he had anticipated and he, soon lost his balance and fell in. Then the struggle or life began. The current carried him down strean for half mile and when nearly ex- hausted he was thrown up against the roots of an old snag to which he held fast. Here he rested until re- gaining strength and finally reached the shore. His brother in the meantime had gone down the stream by a round about way, expecting at the best to find only the dead body of Mir. Coburn. but fortunately he found him alive
 When he fell into the water, NIT. Coburn had pack of nearly three hundred films of photographic scenes they had taken of the beau ties around the Atlin country These were all lost including a s2OO camera His watch. which filled with water, stopped at 1908 in the morning at which time the accident happened The two gentlemen live in Seattle.

ART DISPLAY AT
 DICKSON HOME

Last evening about twenty-five in- yited guests assembled at the home of Mir. and Mrs. o. l.. Dickeson to enjoy an exhibition of the recent sketches made by the eminent artis, Leonard NJ. Davis.
 About seventy sketches of scenes along the Yukon River and the w. .P. G Y. Route, in the Atlin district. through Lake LeBarge, Skagway an Lynn canal were shown. The artist called them sketches. but to us they appeared As finished pictures Of the highest type. Those pictures were made while the artist was travelling on train and in lake and river boats. Made in from three to five minutes each. with nearly the rapidity, and a thousand times more beautiful than by photographic processes. One of the marvellous features of the work of Mir. Davis Is that he has discard ed brushes entirely in the produotIo of his paintings. but uses instead a steel palette knife, such as other artists use in mixing their paints. With this instrument he depicts on canvas the most delicate tints, and wonderful effects of lights and shad- ows. Mountains, valleys, streams, lakes. and all the colorings of cloud and glacier are caught by his mas ter hand, and not painted. but em- bossed with steel upon his canvas It Is a process all his own. con ception which must ultimately reyo- lutionize modern systems of picture portrayal.
 AS one after another of his scenes were presented, they were instantly recognized by those tamil far with the districts. Many of the pictures--they were more than sket- ches-wheu grouped together, fur nished hu unbroken panorama of lakes, forests and streams, with love luess unsurpassed.
 To Mi. Davis, through the cour- tesy of Mir. md Mrs Dickeson, the guests of last evening feel high sense of appreciation of the enjoy ment given them. Mr. Davis has visited Alaska and the Yukon for many years and maintains a studio in New York where his beautiful productions are shown. Today he has gone to Denver glacier to sketch one of the most wonderful scenic ef- fleets in Alaska

SHIPS MAY ENTER
THE C|TYS DOCK
VESSELS THAT PASS IN THE
NIGHT MAY ANCHOR IN SAFE
HARBOR.

CITY Engineer Boiling handed the
James River Improvement committee
of the city council some good news
last night, when he stated that the
locks and gates leading from the dock
TO the river were practically ready for
use, and that In a short week or SO
the dock would be open to navigation
This cheerful information was re-
ceived by applause from the COM
mittee over which George Rogers
presided. and the citizens present
shook hands with themselves.
And would like to add continued
Mr.. Boiling. that with the dock in
working order, II will be impossible
for the dock master to handle the
gates alone. In this connection l
would ask the committee to permit
me to authorize the employment OF
one or more men to assist In trans
acting whatever matters arise In the
handling of ships and vessels as they
come into the haroor with their car
goes. 1t may take one man, or 1t may
take more. We must meet the emer-
gencies they arise
The committee Lost no time in argu-
ing the question, but gave the city
engineer the authority to see that
every vessel that comes into the dock
is properly handled.
A subcommittee is now at work
formulating rules and regulations for
the conduct of affairs around the dock.
aud IL was determined to, at present
al least charge the fees which pre-
vailed before the dock went out of
business.
Mr. Boiling explained that he had
been In correspondence with IT,.
United States officials having charge
az harbor improvements. and felt that
he could get their assistance in remov-
ing the rocks from the harbor,
This news was alao received with
suppressed applause
Mr.. Peters, in . short talk 10 the
COMMITTEES, suggested that the finance
committee be urged to make provi-
sions In the next budget for suffi-
Client sum to complete all the improve
ments to the dock, the removal of the
rocks from the harbor, the completion
of the wharf and for general perfec-
ton to the water front
In substance the meeting disclosed
the important facts that the city has
now. almost ready for use. q hand
some and substantial wharf; has COM
plete dockage facilities and has every
reason to expect that the big rocks In
the river off the wharves viii be soon
removed to give vessels WORE room to
navigate In.
Payroll and bills were audited and
the committee adjourned.
Those present Were Chairman
Rogers. Messrs Peters, Jones, Adams
and Disney.

'CHALOAER TELLS
KILLING DETAILS
REIoUNTS STORY or TRAGEDY
THAT OCCURRED AT THE
MERRIE MILLS.

All the sordid details of tragedy
in which he played stellar role were
rehesrred to "a crowd Of curious in
Thompson's hall last night by John
Armstrong Chaloner. The story was
of the killing of a man at Merrie
Mills, Chaloner's country place. for
which Cha Toner was exonerated. Its
bizarre nature made up for what 1t
lost by the reading Of long and tire
some dispositions
Sitting throughout the evening
Customer in high pitched, querulous
voice read testimony In the case,
stopping frequently to explain some
point he feared was not clear to his
audience, or to tell Of some peculiar
ity Of his home In Albemarie county
or his method of living.
Much of the lecture was argum enta-
tive as when the speaker explained
how a cap he imported from England
vice--stopped blows rained upon his
head by the man for whose death he
was tried.
After reading an hour, Chaloner
suddenly arose threw off the top coat
and exclaimed: Now ladies' prepare
for blood Then he recounted the
story of the actual killing and subse-
quent events.
The trend of the lecture was TO show
that the man who met his death
after q struggle with Chaloner end
ed his own life.
