on Japan in Turtle Bay
Admiral Howard Is Ordered
to Make Another Report
on Conditions.

WASHINGTON. April 1e.--secretary OF
the Navy Daniels said to-day that he
had asked Admiral Howard. command
ing the Pacific fleet to make another re-
port on the activities OF japanese naval
vessels at Turtle Bay. Lower California.
where the Japanese cruiser Asama is
aground on the rocks.
Admiral Howard reported some time
ago that the japanese had several war
ships in Turtle Bay. salvaging the
Asama. His report showed also that the
Japanese had GOLFERS and supply ships
there and that they were making liberal
use OF the waters Of Turtle Bay and
the adjacent shore. In the light of re-
cent reports Mr.. Daniels thought il
worth while to have Admiral Howard
look into the situation again.
II became known to-day tina, the same
account of japanese operations which
was published yesterday reached the
State Department through Official chan
nels. No especial significance can he
attached to this. however. as the sources
Of the official report and the newspaper
dispatches were identical.

NEW HOSPITAL
 AT WHITEH0RSE

It is with pleasure that we take our pen in hand this morning to correct an error which crept into our columns yesterday, although this paper uses every known method, from check prOtecto- graph to Burrows adding machine, and at times we even so so far as to have the printers devil read proof, in order to protect our read CTS from being handed misleading information.
 Yesterday we stated that among the passengers to arrive from WnitenOrse was Harry Page, who was contractor for and has just completed the new hospital at Whitehorse." Mir. Page has no de- siru to take the credit from the one to whom credit is due, and today he called at this office and ill friendly chat placed Us right in regard to his position and at the same time gave Us much interest ing information relative to the new building.
 Mir. Page stated that the building was constructed under the superYi- sion of w. H. Simpson, and that in stead Of being done by contract work, was all done by day labor Mir. Page was one of the workers on the building, he having worked on the concrete as well as upon the wood work of the building. He said that the work was done by the best mechanics obtainable in White horse and the Yukon, and that the material, lumber, concrete and hardware, as well as the interior fix lures and other equipment had all been brought in from the outside. "In my Opinion," to quote MT. Page, "the new hospital is the fin est building in the Yukon. It is thoroughly up to date, and the sani- tary equipment and modern conven- fences are tho best to be had, equauiug those used in the best buildings throughout the country built for hospital purposes"
 The building will be opened by a grand ball, to be in the nature of a housewarming, which will be gtv- en on New Years day, to which, it is the intention of the committee having the arrangements in hand, to invite the Skagway band and the Skagway orchestra to be present, and residents of this town will be invited to join the City by the Rap ids on the above mentioned date.

PARISIAN IVORY ALWAYS
 IN NIILADY'S FAVOR

It is said that no other vogue in the modern history of wOmens Gads has enjoyed the continued and universal popularity that has been the lot of ParisiaD ivory. 1t has for so long been a feminine foible CT fashion that it has al most established itself as a tradition and has taken 8 place with it's edged-out contemporaries, ebony and sterling, as a permanent ac- cessory for milady's dressing table. Complete sets and single pieces to Complet sets are more in demand this season than eyer by the school girl, the college girl, the bride, or housewife or grandmother.
 No store has a more complete or satisfactory display of Parisian Ivory than Keller Bros. Drug company. This was secured by them in the East on an order placed last spring with the Arlington Ivory company, the largest manufacturers cf this ware in the country. It will pay you to see this display and buy early.
