Hope of the third missing boat had
been abandoned after a dozen trans
Atlantic liners searched for five days
within radius of the spot where the
| Columbian burst into flames. TO sea-
faring men, it seemed impossible that
a small boat could pass through the
series Of gales that has since swept
those waters and the first news was
received here almost with incredula
!ty.

OSTEND MUST SOON FALL

 With their march to the Belgian coast the Germans have succeeded in leaving flank be threatened by the allies The German line in Belgium now runs almost due south connecting with the German line of battle in France so that all hope of turning their flank must be abandoned as Holland lies to their right and their left goes away down to the Vosges mountains This will make it sary for the allies if they want to advance to break through the German line instead of turning it. It is now certain that the Germans have reached the coast and have their right resting on the sea.

 on is expected to take place very soon but the result can hardly be expected to be decided before several days The battle may really become repetition of the battle in France and drag out into prolonged contest of wits as well as arms The number of the engaged on each side is truly supendous Perhaps the world has never seen anything like half the number Ot men engaged aga
 st each other Russia is still forwarding literally hundreds of thousands of men to the front from all parts of the
 pire and the side that loses will suffer the most catacys mic holocaust in the records of all times and ages

GRAND JURY
 MAKES REPORT
MAKES MANY SUGGESTIONS PARTICULARLY WITH RE-
 SPECT TO CANNERIES

The grand jury filed its report this morning and in it made many sug- gestions and recommendation partic- ularly in relation to the fishing in- dustry. It dealt with twenty cases for which eighteen true and two not true hills were found.
 The jury recommended the enlarge ment of the federal jail and the pur- chase of a safe for the U. s. Com missioner's office. It said the office of the commissioners and marshal were very well conducted but it de- clared that commissioners in outlying districts do not receive sufficient remuneration for their work and a salary system was recommended.
 The jury found that along the southwest coast of Alaska and in Bristol Bay great quantity of food fish was destroyed constantly by the use of fish traps and it recom- mended the abolition of that fishing method. It also found that the quarters furnished for Oriental labor in the canneries were unwholesome and that if a man quit one cannery he is blackisted and cannot secure employment in another.
 Owing to the large number of ac- cidents to people due to brown bear the jury condemned the law pro- yiding for the protection of those animals in certain seasons.

He also urged the con struction of roads and trails and the opening of the resources of the ter ritory against the conservative policy which has been applied to Alaska.

Senator Tanner, whG. was formerly a strong supporter of Wickersham, be- fore the democrats came into power, spoke for half an hour at the Haines meeting and urges the election of a straight democratic delegation.
