SAY WATER IS
 VERY SHALLOW

Captain J. o. Williams, of the steamer Casca, and Captain Turn bull, of the steamer Whitehorse, who were in port this week with their
 boats, confirmed the previous reports brought down by recent arrivals that the ice and the high water carried out the jetties and the filings at the heads ofthe draws at Hellgate, and expressed fear that much trouble will be had with bars at that lOca- ton this season. They also found the water very shallow at the head of Lake LaBarge, but say the depth should increase there soon. The only way the channel there ever can be controlled, river men say, would be by building a dam at the head of Miles canyon to imDOund water to be released during the low period. Dredging the sands on the bars at the head of the lake is deemed useless. Dredging, however, ls favored on bars along the river, and especially where draws can be filled at Hellgate.
 The Casca was delayed the first trip six hours on the sands at the head of LeBarge, and the White horse 13 hours. Both had to use spars to get across, and each boat carried only about 75 tons of cargo. Captain Turnbull says his boat was walked through the mad where the water vas six inches less than the boat actually drew when in deep water The crooked twist of what little channel there is at the head of the lake also made it difficult 10 navigate. The warm weather of the remainder of the month is eX- pected to melt snows and to cause an increased volume of water at that end. The water on the Dawson front Is falling rapidly, and the long beach is becoming exposed, but no trouble with bars has been eXper- fenced yet by the boats this side of the lak2.-Dawson News.

Try SELF DEFENCE
THEN UNWRITTEN LAW

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 24-Judge Ben
Hill of the superior court declared that
there is no unwritten law in Georgia,
ir. commenting to the jury on the case
of Arthur Bridwell yesterday, who wos
on trial for cutting o. w. Gilbert al
most to death. The attorneys for Brid-
well offered two pleas, first self-de-
fense, and second that Bridwell had
justification under the unwritten law
because of the alleged action of Gill
bert toward young Bridwells mother.
The judge charged that self defense
was the only legal defense which the
young man had offered. He charged
that Bridwell could defend his moth
er's reputation, but by law and not b.
personal assault.
