 AND GOES TO HOSPITAL

Not Enough Ships to Take Ore

Thousands of tons of copper ore is being hell in the bunkers of the mining com panes operating in Prince William sound because of the lack of ships with which to take the ore from the mines to the smelter at Tacoma, according to q Valdez dispatch.

BOULET lS LOST
Confirmation of Pioneers Story Leaves Little Hope That Miss
 ing Man Has Survived

On November 27 The Pioneer published a rumor from the Kuskokwim region to the effect that a man was missing from the Aniak under circumstances which pointed to the belief that he had perished Last Saturday d letter was received by this news paper which confirms the published story, except as to the name of the missing man. and gives the details of the mishap which probably caused the death of Oscar Boulet.
 The letter states that on October 20 Bou let attempted to cross the Aniak river in q polling boat. It was the first cold day of the season, and mush ice was running in the river Because of this he was unable to handle the boat, and was thrown into the water, and although he could not swim reached the opposite bank from which he started.
 Mrs. D. F. Stubbs saw the accident, and ran down to the bank and talked to MT. Boulet across the river, which was ren- dcred difficult because of high piercing cold wind that was blowing. She inquired why he did not start fire and keep his wet clothes from freezing. He replied that he had no matches and asked that she put some in tin can and tie it to one of his dogs and send it across to him. Boulet also said he thought he would start immedi- ately for Bear creek, about twenty-five miles

Belief Is General That He Drowned

Paul Heating returned to Iditarod early this week from Bear creek, where he qc- companied Charley Hurst and Clarence White He was there but a few hours, but states that Boulet had not been heard of. He says that the general belief is that Boulet endeavored to recross the nver at the Stubbs home, and perished in the attempt.
 The tracks spoken of as having been seen by Fisher and Myers were the cause of much speculation, and the suggestion is made that if Boulet did not drown he may have become crazed by his predicament and have wandered of into the wilds

Had Started on Hunting Trip

The day before the accident Mr. Boulet saw fresh bear tracks across the rivre, and the next morning he packed up lunch, took his rife and axe and two Airedale dogs and started to trail the bear to it's den. One dog was tiedsaa, the boat and was drowned when the craft tsan paasr was loose, and as he never came back 1t IS probable that he was also drowned.
 Search vii be continued as long as there is the slightest clew to go on, but grave fears are expressed for his safety.
 Mr Boulet was we'll known throughout the North, and had made his home on the Anak for some time past. He came from Montreal, Canada, where some of his family now reside He Is an old-timer in the North, and for many years was pilot Tn Whitehorse rapids and was an all-around eYnert river man

DUNN GIVES UP LEASE
ON RENO RACE TRACK

Formal notice of his intention TO
abandon the lease on the Reno race
track previously granted him was
given last night by R. II. Dunn of
Winnemucca, representing John Har-
Ian, race track bookmaker, to the
State Agricultural society.
Members of the association said to-
day the action on the part of Dunn
and Harlan signifed the total collapse
of the race meet to have opened here
July 10 and to have continued so days,
unless local men interested in the
sport come to the front and make ar
rangements to conduct it. In such an
event it is likely the meet will be for
a shorter period than 30 days and that
the date of opening will be changed.
meeting of the association will be
held tonight to take some action. 1t
probably will be several days before
anything definite is decided on, as
some men are at the present time out
of town whom it is desired to consult.
1t has developed that Dunn failed to
post any forfeit or make any payment
on the lease. As a result tie associa-
tion win be unable to recover.

FAMOUS BAND WILL BE
HERE CHAUTAUQUA WEEK

The West wants to hear Ciricillo g
band again. This aggregation of thirty
soloists under direction of the greatest
leader of concert bands now in the
United States was heard in I19 con-
certs on this side of the Rockies last
summer and every Chautauqua where
they appeared demanded their return.
Catering to this universal request they
were booked by the Chautauqua man
agement for lilo cites on the coast and
in Idaho, Montana and Nevada.
No band has given such universal
satisfaction on the coast as Ciriclllo,
and some noted bands have played
along the Pacific, and they are educat-
ell to appreciate the best But Cirieillo
with his brilliance, by his magnetic
personality, together with his freedom
from mannerisms and self-conscious-
ness, has won the musicloving public
Of the West. Behind every instrument
in his ensemble is a capable soloist,
and these artists respond perfectly to
the direction of their leader. They
have been together several years and
their familiarity makes possible such
unison of execution. However, a few
new players have been added, for the
band is larger than last year.
The ii Trovatore Grand Opera Sing
ers will be in this city during Chau-

A COYOTE AT THE MUsKRAT

On Monday, April 5th, Mr.. III. A.
Parks, who is the owner of the Musk
rat Ranch, was in his field about a
mile from his house with his men. He
noticed his team, which was being
driven by Mr.. Staples, becoming
frightened and turning he saw a coy
ote walking stupidity in their direction.
The men were unarmed, so Mr.. Parks
ran to a nearby leveler and pulled a
short plank loose from the same. The
coyote still advanced. About this time
Mr.. Parks noticed his wife standing in
front of their house, so he called to
her to bring the rifle, but as the wind
was blowing in the wrong direction
for her to hear him, he pointed the
stick in the air Mrs. Parks evidently
believes in signs for she ran immedi-
ately into the house, procured the rifle
and FASTENED to the field. The coyote
had in the meantime paid no atten-
tion to the noise, but had kept stead
ily advancing, being by this time only
about eight yards away. Mr.. Parks
shot twice at the animal, the first shot
erippling it, the second calling an end
forever to its future ravages. What
the situation might have been, had
they not had a rifle, is difficult to
ascertain.-Jordan Valley Express.
