THE WATERS IF ATU|N LAKE
 CLAIM ANOTHER VICTIM

Atlin, B. C., Dec. 14rInformatioR was brought into toyn yesterday by mail-men that Charley Fairbanks, whU had been out on a hunting trip, had broken through the ice half & mile south of the boundary line on Atlin lake and been drowned.
 Early in the month Fairbanks shot a moose on Mount Minto, and on the 4th of Dec. started out to bring in the meat with a dog team. Owing to his prolonged absence men in other camps, who were expect ing him, followed his tracks aeross the lake and found where he had broken through. '."
 Marks on the ice indicated that the dogs had broken through first, and that the unfortunate man had crawled around the edge of The ice with the intention of saying them, but the added strain had SduSSu IHo AS0 LO 6ife nay him and he as well as the dogs were lost.
 Constable Webster left today for the scene of the accident and will endeavor to recover FairbankB' body, although he has not much faith in the quest proving success ful, for at the place where Fair banks and the dogs went in the water is 60 feet deep in places.
 Fairbanks was formerly well known in Skagway, having at one time been an engineer on the W. P. & Y. R. and later engaged ia the cigar and tobacco business in q little place on the east side of Broadway between second and Third avenues. He was also agent for some transportation company out of skagway, at that tme,, but the name of which we have forgot ten. @
 He left Skagway In 1905 and naEp since been hunting aud trappiss around Atlin and Tagish lakes.

It was then he rang in the alarG. to the fire de- partment, which was quickly answered by the appearance of the members of that organization with their apparatus and in addition thereto a locomotive was run down from the shops to render any assist ance possible. Owing, however to the water tap on the wharf being en- yeloped in flames, it was impossible to make connection and the fire hose was far too short to reach to the nearest fire plugs of the town. This did not discourage the fire men, however, and they used their chemicals to advantage in saving two freight cars that would other wise have been lost. Employes from every department of the W. ?. & Y. R. as well as citizens of the town turned out and rendered valu- able assistance.
 Within 30 minutes of the dis covery of the fire it became appar- ent that the warehouses and Moore 5 wharf were doomed to destruction the corrugated walls and roofs of the former proving of no avail in cpecking it's progress as the flames came up from beneath the buildings and catching in the woodwork Of Ae interior soon made it blazing i ferno.

New York, Jan. 23.-After mem
bers of his family here had endeavor-
ed for months to prevent him from
learning that his son, Raoul, was
fighting with the Mexican rebel army
under General Villa, Francisco Mas
dero, father of the murdered presi-
dent of the southern republic, actual
ly saw his boy in action, reached his
arms out to him as he dashed up on
a spirited horse and then fell back in
his chair, overcome with emotion.
The elder Madero attended a pri-
vate exhibition here of moving pic
lures of the fighting about Ojinaga
with the widow of the former presi-
dent and two of his sons. General
Villa was shown prominently on the
film. Then an aide rode up.
''Raoul, Raoul, did not know you
were fighting" the aged Mexican ex-
claimed. The aide was his son.
Alphonso, another son, put his arm
about his father.

Press Notice

That the Wilmington Chamber of
Commerce is eXerting every effort to
build up trade relations between the
people of this community and their
city has been demonstrated in a new
way. The Office of this newspaper has
received and now has on file copy of
the Wilmington City Directory and
Business Gazetteer for 1911 which was
sent with the compliments of the
Chamber of Commerce. This valuable
business reference will oe the perma-
nent property of this office and can be
consulted by the publ,c al any time.

manifold assurances that the people
in this section would trade with Will
mington more, that is, would be in
position both to sell more to Whining
ton and buy more there, if they were
better acquainted with the Wilmington
business houses. While trade excur-
sions and other functions have assist.
ed in the movement of having the
business men meet each other, still no
complete method has been yet devised
that gives assurance that the people
in different towns know all the Will
mington dealers in particular lines
with whom they might establish both
buying and selling relations. 1t is to
bridge this gap that the Wilmington
Chamber of Commerce has sent out a
large number Of their City Directories
to nearby towns. This directory is
now in this office and can be consulted
by any one who desires information
about business men in Wilmington.
The distribution of these handy bust
ness reference books is calculated to
promote the work the Chamber of
Commerce is engaged in because it
will enable the local business men to
find out Immediately what Whining

RAN OVERHEARD.

A train of nine freight cars bound
for Philadelphia, Friday afternoon of
last week, ran overheard into the Sus-
quehanna. The train had crossed from
Havre de Grace to Perryville, and af-
ter having left the boat which conveys
the cars across at this point, had pro-
ceeded some distance up the road when
the engine was detached for some pur-
pose and the cars left standing with
brakes down. By some means the
brakes were taken off and, as matter
of course, the cars started and landed
into the river. One man, a resident
of New York, was drowned. His body
was soon recovered and sent to New
York for interment.

MRS. JOSEPH SNYDER,

Many remedies are recommended
for diseases of the nervous system
that fail to produce results because
they do not reach the seat of the
trouble. Dr. Miles Nervine has
proven its value in such cases so
many times that it is unnecessary
to make claims for it. You can
prove its merits for yourself by
getting a bottle of your druggist,
who will return the price if you
receive no benefit.

INCREASE IN FARE.

The Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad Company has in
creased the rate of fare 30 per cent.
The freight rates were advanced sew
eral weeks ago. These increases by
the railroad have given rise to pro-
position to get up stock company and
purchase the stern wheel steamer to
run from here to Baltimore and Phila-
delphia. No doubt it would be great
benefit to the town and the plan is en-
tirely feasible, and, with little money
could, no doubt, be carried out.
