THE LODGE OF SORROW
 IN ITS ANNUAL SESSION

At their hall on Sixth street yes- terday afternoon at 2:3O o'clock the members of Skagway Lodge No. 491 B. P. o. Elks, went through thelr beautiful and impressive ritualistic services in memory of ther departed brethren. h the absence of EXalL- ed Ruler, ". c. Blanchard, Esteem cd Leading Knight James Ken- nedy presided over the Lodge of Sorrow in most eificinet man- ner.
 After the entrance of the members each Of whom had pinned to the left lapel of his coat the customary badge of mourning, and the open ing ceremony had been gone through with Mrs. A. c. Blanchard, who pre- sided at the piano, rendered a well executed number, which was follow ed by a selection by the Orches- ura. A part of the riCualistic ser vices of the Lodge then took place. and was followed by a vocal solo by A. c. Blanchard, and this number by another part of the ri,ualislic services.
 The address in eulogy of the de- parted was delivered by Rev. L. Il. Pedersen, pastor of the Skagway M. E. church, and showed a sympathetic comprehension of the seriousness Of the occasion and a thorough under standing of his subject.
 After 1Ir. Pedersen's address fol- lowed ritualistic services ill the closing ceremony, the lodge and audience were then called to their feet and joined in the singing of the doxoIogy, and the 1913 session Of the Lodge of Sorrow was ended.
 Owing to the absence from town os so many people, and the inclem- ent weather, the audience was not as large as the memorial services usually call forth.

In interviews with Dr. L. s. Sug- den, who has been in the Yukon con tiuuously for fifteen years and who has spent the past summer in the Chisana and adjacent territory, talk ing moving pictures and gathering information concerning the differ eut routes to the new gold fields, and from Mir. Ernest Bryson, of the International Boundary Survey the S-ar has obtained the following valuable information for those who are going to the new diggings this winte. and during the coming spring:
 Upon landing at Skagway, the traveller will find first class hotels and fine business houses with a full line of everything suitable for trail or city life. He will then en- train for Whitehorse by the White Pass & Yukon Railway which runs commodious and comfortable trains without any delays, such as often times occur by the Cordova Route it is an unhappy thing that the in itials of the Copper River and Northwestern Railroad should be translated by the people of COrdova as the Can'c Run and Never Will Railroad, for it casts a doubt in the mind of the traveller as to whether he will reach his destina- ton by such road). The White Pass lG Yukon railroad on the con trary have a record of steady ser vice under most untoward circum- stances, and also the enviable record Of never having lost a life. The terminus of the line Is in Whitehors and here the traveller will find the same conditions as in Skagway, fine hotels and business houses, merch- ants who carry large stocks of goods selected from the best the world af- lords and whose long experience in the business in the north enables them to sell you just what you re Quire at reasonable prices and they will see that the goods are proper ly packed to insure against freezing or damage.

river on Aug. 27th and another on September End. This stream, like all others in that region, is of gla- ciaI origin. The current is very rap ida succession of whirlpools-and the eddies are mostly Quicksand, the water being so muddy that it is impossible to determine a ford. And like all glacial streams the bed of the river is constantly stifting, and safe ford today may be a dan- gerous one tomorrow.
 Following the Chitistone trail along the river of the name, there is a succession of ridges, none of which is very high. While slow travelling, this trail is not a dan gerous one until you reach the up per Chitistone ford. Here you have the same conditions to contend with as prevail in the Nizina and all oth- CT glacial streams in whirlpools and Quicksand. If this stream is forded safely you take the trail over the Chitistone glacier. After leaving the glacier the only possible route is 10 climb a summit over three thou sand feet high, the pitch being three thousand feet in two miles. The trail here is just wide enough to accommodate an animal with a light pack. and in the summer time the mud on the trail makes travel very dangerous, as there is a sheer drop of 5000 feet to the Chitistone can yon below. Going over this trail, which took us five hours, we didn't speak to one another nor even turn around to look at the horses, as one misstep of anyone meant a drop of three thousand feet into the can yOn. There is a succession of gull lies cut into this bluff, and the trail down into them is steep and always muddy and slippery in the summer time. One man told us that for practically all the time he was travelling over this "goat trail' he tied his pack on his shovel and dragged it behind him, as he was afraid to risk carrying it down into these gulIies. He said he had to slide down into most of them, and he was afraid that he might become overbalanced with the pack and thrown into the canyon. There hay been many horses lost on this trail. One man lost 14 head out of his outfit of 23. Naturally it would be an utter impossibility to cross this in the winter.
 Glacial streams are always un- certain, even in the winter. While they may freeze over solid, there is always the chanCe-as frequently happens-that an overflow will oc- eur, caused by lake bursting from under the glacier. These lakes are at present under all glaciers, and are liable to break forth at any

the Kluane valley, which reaches through to the DOnjek. Crossing the glare ice of the Donjel, the trail goes up Wolverine creek, all ice going, and then leaving Wolyer- inc, runs through Wolverine valley, a succession of beautiful lakes feed ing one into the other and the great est game country on the North Am ericau continent today. The road runs thence down Harris creek to the Geuerk, thence down the Gen erk to the White; and here let me state that it is a significant but in disputable fact, that for years, both United Stats and Canadian goF- erumcuts, have sent in the monu- meuts and supplies of the entire par ties in the field surveying the In ternational Boundary Line along the 6lst Meridian, and over this same road and to this point Why? from Iail-head on the Copper River < \. W. railroad it was only 90 miles, why did they not send them that way?
 From the White, Rabbit creek is followed to Horsfelt and thence to Chitenda city. The average snow fall for the last eight years has been less than 12 inches. If yo wish an explanation of this peculiar phcnom- enou it is, that all the precipitation of the humidity takes place on the exterior of the high mountain mass es forming the coast range; ill oJh- CT words t falls on the COruoya route. This is another significant fact, and one well worth digesring There are some hills on this route. but one does not climb any just in order to go down on the other side.
 For mountainous country, l and all who travelled it will say with me, that it is the most wonderful succession or valleys leaAlhS one H. to the other by natural water cours- es, that can be found anywhere on the map. The distance is approx imateIy 33O miles. It will be a boulevard this winter, and those who travel by it by my recommen- dation will remember me with grat- itude when they hear the howls of eXecratiou which will rise from the frozen lips of those who stepped where angels fear to tread.
 The highest rise after leaving WhitehOrse on this route is 800 feet in l2 miles.
 The lowest on the Cordova route is 5,O5O feet. Truly, comparisons are adious."

There are two trails between Mccarthy and the diggings, one of which is known as the ChiJisuone trail, and the other as the ScoIai trail. After leaving the railroad there is but one trail until the Nj gina river is reached. Here the Chitistone follows up the Chitistone river and the ScoIai branches off up the Nizina river.
 Mccarthy creek, which is very near Mccarthy station, is a small but treacherous stream. Mickey Me Carthy, one of the mail carriers de liyering mail to Dan creek, told mo he had several horses drowned in the Mccarthy. If this stream is fOrded safely, no unusually hard travelling is encountered until the Niziua river is reached. This is re puted to be the most treacherous stream in Alaska, no safe ford hay ing been discovered up to the time We were there, which was last Aug ust. One man was drowned in this

SEGREGATED Vice

Miss Jane Adams, of Hull House, Chicago, who
has given her life work in opposition to organized
vice and to helpless poverty, appeared before the Chi
cago city council to argue against segregated vice
dtions Miss Adams declared it to be that the
setting apart of immoral resorts in district by them
selves resulted in growth for the vicious
traffic they live and thrive upon and added greatly to
every unfortunate and undesirable feature connected
with such places. 1t a great mistake, Miss
Adams declared, to that the segregation of
vice limited it localized it. The property influence
that such district catered to gave it greatly increased
power for evil and added to every vicious feature it
possessed 1t declared to be particularly true that
the glamour of segregated district is increasingly
vicious in its influence young working girls and on
young men to whom its public Haunting was especially
enticng The further fact that the saloon and brew
cry interests unedly in favor Of segregated vice
districts provides argument against such districts

rations made against them by Miss Jane Adams

When the Devil is Sick

Not only do the numerous and important temper
victories which are occurring with gratifying
regularity these days point to the utter destruction of
the liquor traffic. but the announced determination of
the liquor dealers themselves to reform is always
unfaing sign that things are going badly with the
trade" Here, for instance, is our own Chicago
Liquor Dealers Association volunteering their SER
vices to Judge Mahoney to clean out Chcagos dives
and resolving that they opposed to law-vioating
saloon.
And now comes dispatch from Kansas City,
men pledged themselves at meeting last week to
obey the liquor laws to the letter They didn't stop
with that They know that the flesh is weak, so they
called for assistance, appealing to the police and the
county officials to help them obey the law. They evil
IDENTIFY don't have full confidence in the ability of the
police to compel them to be aw-abidng citizens, so
the dispatch tells that they going to appeal at
once to the governor for his assistance. They will
probably need all the help they get
But here is the cause for their sudden and
whe1ming desire to become good. sense of guilt
seized them hearing this statement from John S.
Morrin, wholesale liquor dealer: "Annihilaton will
come to the liquor business unless turn the tide of
sentiment which is growing up against the saloon
We must call upon the officials to from our
selves" That they didn't take action quick enough
in Missouri is shown by the fact that Morrn referred
to the Webb bill then pending in Congress and to the
county local option bill then pending in the Missouri
legislature, both of which have since become laws.

FOOTBALL RULES
LITTLE CHANGED
Unnecessary to Master New Set-Play-
er Kicking May Stand Anywhere
Behind Line of Scrimmage.

Football PLAYERS and fans alike viii
be relieved to learn that there will he
bat few changes in the rules of the
game this fall For several seasons
past it has been necessary to master
new set of rules about every fall, so
extensive have been the alterations in
the methods of playing the game but
1t a meeting of the football rules com
mittee in New York city. il was de-
cided TO practically stand pat this
year with the exception of one or two
minor changes.
The most important change which
will 90 into effect this fall IS the rule
which will allow the player kicking
the bail to stand anywhere he pleases
behind the line of scrimmage instead
of at least five yards back as has been
the case in past. Quick kicking from
directly behind the line by the quar-
terback or one of the other men be
hind the line, promises to be a feat
ure of the play this coming fall.
Another change is in the rule re-
garding PLAYERS returning to the game
after once being taken out. The com
mittee has agreed that members Of
the team NAV enter the lineup once at
the beginning of every period or nj
any time during the last period. The
former rule prevented player from
returning at any time except at the
| beginning Of a period after he had
once been taken out.
A change in the wording of the
rule governing the passing back of the
| ball from the center has been made
whereby only the hands and not the
| foot can no used There has also been
| a slight alteration in the rule relative
to the forward pass and kick made
from behind the goal line.
