EXCITING TIME
 ON THE SPOKANE

On the way up north from Seat tie on the present trip the em- ployes on board the Spokane were engaged one evening in their regu- lar fire drill when a sailor lost his balance and fell overheard.
 The alarm of Man OVerboard! !" was immediately given, the steam CT stopped and boat lowered for the rescue. The sailor was in plain sight and evidently an eX- per swimmer, but was splashing about in the water in a most un- accountable manner. The rescu- ing party soon drew alongside and wiling hands pulled him into the boat, none the worse, apparently, for his involuntary bath.
 The boat started back for the ship with the sailor in his dripping clothes sitting on one of the center seats. Suddenly he stood up and luGNt US IAVu5A lO Juh-p 4AIO SAS sea. His rescuers thinking that probably his mind had become un- balanced by his immersion in the cold water grabbed him and asked what was the matter.
 "Ay tank ay ben yoomp in an get my hat" and upon looking to where he pointed they saw his di- laoidated headgear floating around On the surface of the water. To satisfy him they stopped and re- covered it before proceeding on thei way.
 On being asked by Captain Thos. Johnson, commanding officer of the Spokane, whv he had made such an exhibition while in the water the sai.cr said he wanted to make sure tha the rescuers would see him.

HAD \ CHANCE
 ID PLAY EVEN

The curic dealers of Skagway who have been just eking out an exis- tence for the past twelve months and living on a diet of toasted corn flakes and other sanitary food stufts put up by W. H. Kellogg of Battle Creek, Mich. while they anxiously awaited the opening up of the gres~.t tourist season, had n chance today to get little of their 1ard-earned money back when th3 proprietor of the Michigan "eat fac tory" came in OH the Spokane and at once started to buy a lot of native curios, carved ivory, bas- kets and other articles. In making the rounds he dropped into Keller Bros establishment and when he left the proprietors had to hire a good strong boy to carry his pur- chases down to the boat.
 Mir. Kellogg said it was his first trip to the north, but 1t would not be his last, as he had very strong inclination to return to Skagway in a few months and. put in factory here for the manuSac- ture Of his products for the Alas ka trade.

FISHERMEN GO
 BACK ID WORK

The native fishermen employed by the Alaska Pacific Fisheries Co. at the Chflkoot cannery, between Skagway and Haines, struck last Monday afternoon upcn receiving mo- tification from the manager that the price of fish was to be reduced from 15 to 1215 cents each.
 The fishermen claimed that 15 cents each for fish was as low as they could be furnished and inas- much as the price of canned sal moa is now higher than ever be- fore they failed to see any reason for d reduction and stood out firm ly for the old rate. The native emplryes in the cannery also re- fused to ork, out of sympathy for the strikers.
 The matter was adjusted ,satis- factorily on Wednesday by the company restoring the old price of Is cents per fish, as well as mak- ing other concessions demanded by the strikers.

THE SUNSET
 BOOSTS NORTH

In a recent issue of the CordoVa Times appears an article, comment ing upon an issue of the Sunset Magazine, which boosts Alaska. The item in the Cordova paper is of gen eral interest to Alaskans and is as follows:
 "Devoting it's space unstintedly to Alaska and the Northwest, the May number of Sunset Magazine, which has a large circulation ill the East ern states, has done more than it's share towards inducing visitors to the expositions to so arrange their Western tours that they will not return without making a flying trip tS the Land of the Midnight Sun. The articles are well prepared and beautifully illustrated, the feature being That Land Up There" an informative article on Alaska by J. J. Underwood of the Seattle Times staff.
 Mere than 2O,OOO inquiries re ce' ,ed at Sunset office during the past three. months from persons planning a trip to the west have been answered with a card of in troduction. The card identifies the holder and notifies those to whom it Is presented that Sunset will ap- preciste any service rendered which will help to make the visit of its frienis pleasant and add to their comfort.
 The traveller to the eXpositton,' says Sunset, should by all means map his course so as to see the great Northwest either first or last. The Northwestern Empire is a sue cessiou of towering, timber-clad mountains, rich, protected valleys and rlourlshing cities
 Opposite a page in which is pub lished by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce a picture entitled "A Seattle silhouette' Sunset says a number of interesting things about Puget SounI and Alaska.
 The article on Alaska, That Land Up There, iS timely and ap- proprjate and is well illustrated, and In the Interesting Western ers' department os the magazine is found a brief sketch of the life of Gov. J. F. A. Strong, of Alaska, by Carleton Teck Tho magazine is well illustrated throughout, not cDly with photographic reDroduc- tions, but with color pictures. It contains a number of other inter- esting articles and some first class fiction by William R. LightOn, Grant Carpenter, Edward H. Hurlburt and others.

From General Agent F. B. Wurz- bacher of the W. P. & Y.

 Another courtesy of the man agement of the w P. & Y. +. has been the placing of a a.railway ca booss car on the sidetrack where the Denver Glacier trail leaves the railroad, the use of which Is free to all, and will be especially ap- precialed as a place of refuge in the event of a party of sightseers get 4ing caught In a sudden storm.
