Two competent men, Messrs. Hull and Miller of the Dominion public works department, have made thor ough inspection of the river with the view of instituting improvements which will aid navigation. They went out last week and will report their conclusions to headquarters at Otta- wa. It is a foregOne conclusion that benefit from their inspection of the river between this place and Dawson will result The men were brought from Dawson to this place in the com pany's big launch Sibilla on which trip they had pointed out to them by Captain Burrus, one of the most ex- perienced men on the upper river, the various places where trouble is expe- rieced when the water is at low stage. It is reported that the matter of con- structing a dam at Miles canyon was discussed by the representatives of the government The same suggestion was advanced by President Dickeson of the railroad, two years ago when the concensus of opinion was that he was joking The idea may now be carried out.-Whitehorse Star.

TREATMENTS SMOKER
 HUGE SUCCESS
O

The large auditorium of Elks' hall was filled to overflowing by enthusias- tic members and admirers of the Ju- neau volunteer fire department who turned out to participate in the smok- CT that had been planned for. some weeks. The spirit of good fellowship prevailing between the members of the department and between citizens gen erally and the department marked the occasion. Evrybody had a good time. Toward the end of the festivities Ira Robertson, of Douglas, suggested that a movement be started to assist flood stricken Nome-another cried, pass the hat" and in less than five minutes over hundred dollars had been tossed into it. The collection amounted to $1O11O.
 The program for the entertainment started off with an illustrated lecture by Emmett Harris. He chose as his subject the methods of the National Cash Register company which had demonstrated the great good that re- suits in having employees interested in the success of their employers and how this state of affairs may be brought about. The idea of a com munity of interests was easily grasped by all who witnessed the slides and hesard the words of the speaker.
 There followed some very clever ath- letic stunts interspersed with songs and recitations. Gil Fisher gave some good horizontal bar work and then Herb Conway and J. w. Blase boxed three rounds. Ira Robertson sang one of Harry Lauder's favorites and the audience liked it so well that he gave a recitation-a terrible tale of woe. Then followed a fine wrestling match between Fisher and Blase. John T. Spickett came on and sang a song, and he was followed by Billodeau.
 There was plenty of good things to eat-and drink; also something to burn Yes, it was a good smoker.

YOUR HAT IN RING9
Ono Hat From Every Woman 70
Endowment Fund Wanted.

>. A Texas senator wants to punish
women who insist upon wearing hats
in public gatherings (and they need
will prevent their buying new hat
for three years. I Now, It is an easy
matter for a man to introduce a bill
with hat forfeiture clause, but his
action has been antedated by q wom-
ans suggestion that all the women
who are going to buy new hats shall
stick to their old ones for one season
and turn in the salvage to the endow-
ment fund Of the General Federation
of Wemen's Clubs. Figuring the fed
GRAFTON membership at 100000, and es-
timating that at least half the mem
bers would have at least one new hat
a year. it can be seen that a tidy sum
of $400,e could be rolled up by this
free will offering, if every hat were
figured at only 81. But as the hats
that some women would give up would
approximate sloe, the average is fig.
ured at 81, and a total endowment
fund of $1,6O0,000 is dangled before the
eyes of the club women as the reward
Of their sacrifice.
: The suggestion is backed by a sound
and logical showing that If approx
mately half million women over the
country are "a wearing questionable
hats, Questionable hats. will be fash

A DERELICT THE SAILORS HOPE
Every Mariner Hopes He May Some
Day Pick Up a Craft In Distress.

DANES G. McCurdy in Wide WORLDLY
Salvage is one Of those overworked
words with half a dozen meanings. In
a marine sense it is indiscriminately
applied to the act of saving a vessel
from the perls Of the sea, to the claim
entered, and to the final monetary
award. On land 1t Is a term which,
by common usage, has come to en-
brace the recovery Of goods, Of what
ever nature that have been placed
In jeopardy.
One thing is certain-there are but
Few words that awaken ke'ener antici-
patton In the minds of those who traf-
nc upon the deep than the magic term
'salvage' when applied to the rescue
of vessels floating helpless or aban!
doned upon the waters. In sea par
lance the term has much the same sig
nifcance as the word "treasure 'trove'
has ashore.
put to sea without the hope that they
may some day be fortunate enough
to pick UP a valua BILE craft in distress,
and share in the resultant salvage
award.
Salvage Is interesting from legal
standpoint, from the fact that it is
probably the only case in law where a
person may become liable to a claim
upon MIN for services rendered to his
property without his consent, expressed
or implied. It also takes priority
over all other claims. The amount is
determined by the admiralty court, and
is dependent upon the peril involved,
the nature of the service, and the value
of the property salved.
A curious point Of law, long OBJ
served, has but little weight today in
determining salvage awards. This rul-
ing was that as long as any domesti-
Gated animal, such as q dog cat or
pig, remained alive on a derelict the
craft was not called abandoned, and
the salvage award was materially af-
fected by the circumstance
The origin Of this ruling Is obscure.
but the view probably taken in such a
case was that; If the weather condi-
t1ons had ben exceptionally severe aft
er the abandonment Of a vessel. all
life would have persisted before the ar
rival Of the salvors.
Seeking for a disabled vessel when
Its location is not definitely known, is
much like the. proverbial hunting for
needle in a haystack" Within re-
cent years as many Of the fat salvage
prizes along the North Pacific Goa st
pened along at the opportune mo-
ment as have fallen to the numerous
tugboats that spend much of their
time cruising off shore. =. 80
or the causes that place a vessel in
such q predicament that it becomes a n
object of salvage, first and foremost. Of
course, must be placed the force of
Wlnd and wave. No matter how large
me vessel, 1t can never afford to bid
defiance to the elements. for without
warming something may happen IA
send 1t to the bottom or leave it float
ing helpless derelict upon the face
of the waters. ,ss 3.5

BOYS AND RYE BREAD.
How Russian Cadets Convinced Re
forming Colonel Of His Error.

=" (New York Evenig Pcst) a.. g
The Bow Scouts of America may find
occasion to thank their stars that
there is a new understanding of dis
cipline," if they will take the trouble
to read some Of the stories told Of the
military cadet corps OF Russia, as it
was in the first half Of the last CEN
fury. Boys were brought in when six
years old by fathers who were for the
most part military men with the mill
|tary idea of the disciplinary force in
hardships, and boys from 10 years old
upward had to fall in line for inspec-
ton from visiting generals. On the
pected the boys put their white tights
on wet and slept in them. That was
to make the tights fit tighter on par
AIDE. When Alexander II. was crowned
the first cadet corps fell in after five

to go to bed over night. or even to lie
down. They could only sit on pre-
pared pieces of leather
Back in the fifties> one of the col
onels developed a theory that the
corps boys ate too much rye bread. It
was the only thing that had been al
lowed them without stint, and the
coloneps decision that it hurt their
health was dealt with strategically by
the boys An order went forth by the
grape vine route that interlinks boy
and boy that on certain night, as
soon as the dormitory watchmen were
asleep in their chairs. every one was
to find his way to the larders and eat
bread until he could hold no more. BY
some miracle the performance went
through without a hitch. Next morn
ing there was not a crumb Of bread
to be found anywhere. -. -
Of course, the only explanation was
that the boys had eaten it, and a very
little arithmetic showed that each boy
had eaten about four pounds. Best of
all. from the boys point Of view. not

matism as such had not come into
existence in those days, but the proof
Of the pudding even then was in the
eating, and after that the fussiest COL

bad for the boys"
