A Near Drowning


Glenn Spencer, son of Mrs. May
Spencer, aged 10 years, came very
near drowning last Thursday. He
with Vaughan Evans, Hugh Gardner
and several other lads were bathing
in the river at the city park. Hugh
and Vaughan swan across to a sand
bar and young Spencer followed
them. On their return he began to
struggle and called to Vaughan that
he was tired. Vaughan told him to
grab hold of his bathing suit which
he did but soon lost his hold and be-
gan to sink. Vaughan then grabbed
hold of his hair but was unable to
pull him along.
Ray Bailey, a teamster, who was
near saw the commotion and rushed
into the river picking the lad up from
the bottom and brought him to shore,
where he was given vigorous first aid
treatment and brought back to life.
DR.. Little was called and took him
to the hospital, later he was taken
to the home of his grandparents Mr..
and Mrs. Puffer, where he resides. 1t
was a close call for the boy.

They Went to Harbor Springs

Ben and Henry Friedly and Mert
Eaves and wives returned Sunday
from their automobile trip to north
ern Michigan. They went as far as
Harbor Springs, taking in Muskegon
Ludington, Scottville, Traverse City,
Benzonia, Charlevoix and Petoskey
on the way. They struck the Dixie
pike at Muskegon and for the most of
the way had good roads. In some
places the roads which they were
obliged to take, however. were bad,
they encountered hills and sand and
the prospects for ever getting out of
the tangle were discouraging, but
faith and perseverance and assistance
from other JOY riders set them ago
ing again and the round trip was ac-
complished.
They say all the northern resorts
are having poor business and the
boat lines are not landing half of the
number Of passengers as in former
years. At Traverse City they visit
ed the state asylum and were shown
through that institution and the
beautiful grounds on which il is To-
Gated.

Associated Press
 Denies Boast of
 Daily Alaskan

For bombastity, unreiabilty and down right lying the Daily Alaskan is in class by itself, and we are in position to prove these accusations. In Mondays issue of that paper was printed an editorial in which an attack was made upon the telegraphic news service furn- ished by the Assiciated Press to The Daily Times and the boast made that ''the Alaskan was offered membership in the Associated Press but rejected the offer" So positive were we that the Alaskan was making another of its untruthful statements that yesterday we telegraphed yer batim that part of the editorial to the Associated Press, with query as its correctness, and late in the afternoon received the following self f-explantory reply:
 Know nothing about membership being offered the Daily Alaskan and refused by that paper. Must be elected before they can get report. The Associated Press never canvasses for members.
