Much reight Lost
 In Recent Flood

Recent arrivals from the Tolo
 ana country bring word that the recent flood on the Tolovana river was responsible for the loss of a large quantity of freight. As a general thing the freight was small outfits cached along the river be- tween the log jam and West Fork. t is understood that fully 50 tons were lost in this way.
 A large number of prospectorS and freighters are said to have teen losers in this manner Taking their freight in on steamers and by other boats, they took it as far as the log jam and left it. intending to return for it after the close of navigation. The unprecedented raise in the water at this time of year, however, has upset all of their plans. Just who will be the heaviest losers fas not been aGcertained It is known, however, that most of the ~ties of goods.
 It is also reported that the two sawmills at West Fork each lost a large number of saw logs in the flood Teddy Anderson, however contradicts the report by saying that at the time he left West Fork for Fairbanks, neither of the booms in front of the mills had more than two dozen logs in it.

B|C STEAMERS
 WILL WINTER
 AT WH|TEHORSE
FAIRBANKS WILL BE GIVEN GOOD STEAMER SERVICE
 NEXT SUMMER.

Although he is not yet prepared to make a statement as to the gen eral movement of steamers for the remainder of the open season, James A. Fairborn, local manager of the American Yukon Navigation com pany. says hat it has been decided that the steamers Yukon. Alaska and Panama will winter al White horse The movements of the re- mainder of the Fleet are uncertain. according to his statement, but il is intended that they shall be kept in operation until cold weather drives them into winter quarters
 It is Mir Fairborn's opinion, how ever. that the last sailines from Fairbanks for Whitehorse will be about September 90, when the steamers Yukon and Tanana will sail from this point, the condition of the river permitting. Otherwise either or both boats will leave from Cinema The Alaska will leave on her last trip of the season foF Whitehorsa about next Saturday.
 Mr f'airbOrn states that his com pany is planning a service for the Interior and Fairbanks in particular next summer heretofore unequaled. For that reason the three largest lf h,;,, through to Whitehorse, as it is eX- pected that they will be able to OI ns away Fl of the freight ac cumulated at Whitehorse after Lake Labersa opens.
 The immediate plans of the trans pOrtation company are that the Ia mana, leaving here today. will meet the Delta coming from Dawson. and will then return to Fairbanks. for the Alaska from Dawson, taking her mail, freight and passengers for lower river points. When she meets the Seattle No. now enroute up the Yukon, the two boats will ex- change loads, the Seattle No to return to St Michael and the Delta to FailEe is. In the meantime the Panama will make trip to Panama 70 connect with the steamer Schwat- ka, also enrOute up the Yukon from St. Michael, and bring up her Fair banks freight.
 It is hoped that as soon as the NukCn is open it's full length in the spring the company will be able to 3aye g sailing direct From Carmachs for Fairbanks. It is also expected that sailing for lower river points will be arranged The sailings will be fer the purpose of bringing away all freight accumulated at the foot
 f Lake Laberge.
 MT. FaiibOIn states that an at tempt was made last spring to han dle freight on the same kind of shedule, but that it was impossible. The company, however, is willing to try and accommodate the people of he Interior to the extent of making another attempt.

GROWN UP MEN
 PLAY FRANKS

LOS ANGELES,-A hazing prank which Chester E. Burg. secretary of the Streets and Sewers department. learned at Amherst college. furnish ed entertainment to more than 300 members of the department yester- day in the first "get-together" eX- cursion of the two branches since the new charter united them.
 The feature of the entertainment proved to be a fistic contest with siX-ounce gloves between two blind folded contestants. one a German and the other Frenchman. who an n0unced at the outset that the ter TOTS of such a dangerous struggle did not in the least daunt their war like spirits. Two employees of the department, Alfred A. Mathey and William Nix, agreed to enter the lists when approached on the har- 5cr boat Erastus Wells yesterday.
 Tied and BIindfoded.
 The two contestants were first roped about the waist, and tied to posts on opposite sides of the cabin, within striking distance of eacG other. Then were then blindfolded. |, the ropes were tautened until neither blind battler could reach the other Several conspirators then appeared, wearing gloves and at the word go. the conspirators began to gently tap the blindfolded battlers from many angles At each touch the blindfolded men would swing wildly in the air, and each must have fan cial that his adversary was a won dsr1ul judge of direction to be able to land blows apparently at will
 The 300 spectators, including Di rector of Streets and Sewers Tal- bert were almost exhausted with laughter at the wild antics of the two fighters when Nix began an attack upon the post to which he was roped and Burg was forced to call the fight for fear he might damage his arms in Colliding with rha pillar.
 The ropes were then extended to their original length and when the handkerchiefs were removed from the fi2hters, each shook hands cor dially with the other under the i'm pression that he had been worsted iii the blind battle. Then the bout was explained to both men.
 Director Talbert arranged the eX cm maion to enable the supervisors and directing heads of both branch es 10 get acquainted, as they do not come in contact with one an other at the city hall. It was so successful that the director an nounced that he would make il an annual affair.

Jealous of the Auto
 Smashes With Heels

Until recently Duke" horse owned by Henry Marvin. of Wash. ingtou boulevard, Venice had always been considered docile and posses. aed only of the good qualities tha1 go to make up a dependable family horse. This reputation had been at taned only after he had been in the Marvin family for fourteen years.
 Marvin bought an automobile, which meant that in the future, when the family went out for run around the country, Duke" could remain at home. Probably the horse reasoned that way.
 Marvin brought his new car into the back yard and left it there to be admired by other members of the family Duke" stood near by and if he understood he realized that the admiration that had always been his was thing of the past
 After the family had gone inside, Duke" paid his attention to the car. He walked around it just once and then, measuring his distance, opened up on it wi;a his back feet.
 He kicked as he was never known to kick before. When he had fin ished there was badly damaged automobile
 The Marvin family heard the noise, but before any of them could reach Duke" he had kicked in the front os the radiator. smashed the hood and put the carburetor out of com mission By the time Marvin reached Duke" all the power had been kicked out of the machine, and it was so badly damaged that it had to be sent to the shops before the family could use it.

 In addition to the introduction of better freight service to Fairbanks next year, it is the idea of the trans DOrtation companies to induce tour ists to come north next season, and arrangements are now being made for an extensive advertising cam paign along these lines. In fact, the campaign was started during the season just passed and a num- Der of tourists not known to be sucr visited this city and other points Of the Interior. However, the adver Using campaign during the coming winter will be much more eXten- siVe that in the past. and it is there fore expected that large number of tourists will take advantage of the low rates offered by the trans portation companies and make the trip through Alaska. The tourist campaign will also be carried ou with the idea of securing full b0"' loadG thereby permitting the regu lar boats to run on an uninterrupted schedule.
