SAYS THE RATE
 WAR STILL ON
CWhitehorse Star.)

It will interest the people of Whitehorse and all Yukon to learn that the rate war which was wag- ed on the river last season by the Si6estreams Navigation company and Northern Navigation company on one side and the British Yukon Navigation companies on the oth- CT, the two later being connected with the White Pass & Yukon Route company, will be resumed this season with the opening of nay igation, this statement having been given out by Captain Sid Barring ton, manager of the Sidestreams company, on his return from San Francisco to Seattle less than three weeks ago. Captain Burlington said:
 l expect to arrive in Whitehorse with crews for both the NOrcOm and Vidette about the middle of March. We will have so tons of freight to take in over the ice to the foot of the lake. This will be taken on to Dawson by the Vidette on the opening of navigation but the Norcom will come from the foot of the lake where she is tied up for the winter, to Whitehorse as soon as the lake is open and will take a cargo of passengers ons her first trip. The rates will be the same as last year, ten dollars either up or down between White horse and Dawson"
 The fact that the rate war is to be continued between WhitehOrse and Dawson means also that it is to be continued between Dawson and all lower river points where a fight for supremacy was started last year, much to the benefit of all that country.

EXPLAINS IRREGULARITIES
 IN WASHINGTON CLIMATE

Seattle, Feb. 16-"Many people ascibe all the peculiarities of Wash ington climate to the Japan cur rent, but it is only one of the many important factors that give us the best climate in the United States" said Professor Edwin J. Saunders of the department of ge- ology at the University of Wash ington, in lecture on the climate of the state of Washington.
 Changes of climate have been explained by changes in the Japan current and by deGorestation of large areas. The records show no decided changes in climate. The irregularities from year to year may easily be explained by the movements of the storm areas ov- CT the state"

REVOKES
 FORMER ORDER

On January 24th President Will son revoked, so far as 1t is applied to land within national forests, an order made by President Taft in 1911, withdrawing all tracts of pub lie lands in the District of Alaska upon which hot springs, or other springs, the waters of which poss- ess curatibe or medicinal prop critics, are located, to the extent of 16O acres surrounding each spring, in rectangular form from side and end lines equidistant, as near as may be from each springer group Of springs.
 The order applies to lands within the national forests. Word concern ing the new ruling has just been received at the local United States land office at Juneau. Previous to the order made by former President Taft several persons were prepar- ing to improve certain hot springs along the coast and spend a lot Of money, but all operations then stopped, as they did not care to risk their money in the absence of title. Now, however, it is likely some of the proposed improvements will be carried forward.

CRUISER TENNESSEE
British Fear Allies Citizens May

ly Anxious

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1s.-Secretary
Of the Navy Daniels today was In
clined to the optimistic belief that
the report that q launch from the
cruiser Tennessee had been fred up
on by Turkish forts at Smyrna, was
due to mistake. Although the sec
retary and chiefs Of the bureau OF
operations early today still had no
direct communication with the war
ship, the latter shared their chiefs
attitude. II was declared al the navy
department that II the launch had
been fred upon under the conditions
reported, they surely would by now
have the details. The launch may have
been fired upon by mistake, II was
are In Turkish waters. and the mis-
take wholly rectifed.
It was suggested at the Turkish en-
bassy that the report may have arisen
from q warning TO the Tennessee's
launch, of danger OF proceeding
through waters heavily mined.
In the meantime, every effort was
being made to get into direct touch
with Capt. Benton c. Decker, Of the
Tennessee. that the AFFAIR may be
probed TO the bottom.
The state department admitted they
had word that the Tennessee sailed
for vurla on Nov. IL. Both vurla and
Scio are near Smyrna.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels noti'
| fed President Wilson at 1929 o'clock
today that he had absolutely no con-
flrmation OF the reported firing upon
the launch. He added that he was
trying through every possible source
Of communication to get into touch
with the cruiser. but that as other pub
lished reports via Athens and Venice
| had proved false. he was inclined to
believe this incident too, was not cor
rect.
LONDON. November 1s.-Every
effort was being made by the admir-
atty to obtain confirmation of reports
that q launch from the United States
armored cruiser, Tennessee. had been
fired upon by the forts at the en-
trance to the harbor OF Smyrna.
The reports. that Captain Decker
commanding the Tennessee. first
asked permission TO enter the harbor
and upon being refused declared he
