INDEPENDENCE DAY AT FLAT
 TO BE MEMORABLE EVENT

During the past week there have been issued from the office of the Pioneer mon ster posters setting forth the attractions Of fered by the people of Flat at their forth coming celebration of the national holiday, The posters have been distributed and the many events scheduled thereon are being generally discussed.
 Judging by inquiries casually made Tn Iditarod, it would appear that the Whole district will join in the celebration and business cares will be forgotten entirely while the patriotic holiday is observed.
 It is more than likely that the new auto cars for the tramway will be here in time to be put in use for the Fourth, and should this prove to be the case it Is certainty that they will be well patronlzed
 The patriotic exercises will be featured by an oration by Professor A M. hllgore, and the wcll-known ability of that gentle man bespeals an address well worth the attention of every citizen.
 The horse races are expected to be a feature of the sports program, and there are other sports events in plenty, tor winch liberal prizes are offered.
 The ball in the evening promises to tax the capacity of Moose hall, but the com mittee gives assurance that the comfort and pleasure of their guests will be we'll provided for

JOHN F. BAIRD INTERESTED
 IN PROMISING PROPERTY

Late arrivals from the Outside tell of meeting in Seattle John r, Baird the for mer well-known business man of Fairbanks Diskaket and Iditarod, who left this place in the fell of 1913, and after spending some months in the States, decided to locate at Portage Bay, on the southwest coast of Alaska, at which place he has resided for the past two years. Mir. Baird's errand in Seattle at this time Is to further the in terests of very promising quartz pros pect he and his partner have located in that locality, and on which property sey- eraI thousand dollars worth of develop ment work will be performed during the present sumner Mir Baird has received certificates of mill test of the ore made at the Butte, Mont, smeIters, which are so encouraging that q much less optimistic mining man than himself would not hesi tate a moment in eXpending further time and capital in proving the extent and value of the property.

LONDON June 2. Gradually the GetaI> of the navel battle fought last Wednesday are being received Each hour brings fresh news of the fate Of some British or tier man warShip. Even this afternoon the all miralty was unable to estimate the loss oi life Of the British. There is equally a. great uncertainty regarding the German loss of life. An idea of the frightful toll of death can be cleaned from the report made to the admiralty when the tug James Ii. arrived This boat arrived on the scene of the battle soon after 1t had ended. She picked up eight of crew of the German cruiser Frauenlob, all that are believed to have been saved when that boat was sent to the bottom. This is the first authentic information that the FrauenlOD was de stroyed The members of the crew state that the cruiser sank within ten minutes after receiving her death blow. They knew nothing of the fate of the remainder Of the crew. This afternoon two British torpedo boats arrived. They had only four officers of the British ship Queen Mary, three off cers of the Invincible, one from the lnde- fatigable, one from the Defence and one from the armored cruiser Warrior. All aboard the armored cruiser Black Prince, both officers and crew, were lost
 It is understood that eight German war hsips have taken refuge in Danish waters, according to reliable information.
 Late tonight the British admiralty issued general statement regarding the outcome of the engagement. It shows that the ad- miralty's views are not at all unfaVorable to the British. This statement declares that the British sought out the Germans and engaged the entire fleet of the Germans with an inferior force and compelled the kaiser's boats to put back to port and give up the plan of action that they are known to have contemplated.
 British Losses
 The losses on the British side late to- night were finally estimated at about 5000 men. This may be nearly matched with the losses of the Germans if the latest re- ports on the number of German warships destroyed are confirmed. In the British casualty list are included Captain Prowse and the entire complement of the battle cruiser Queen Mary, which probably had between 900 and 1000 men aboard; and Rear Admiral Hood, who was lost with the battle cruiser Invincible.
 Two Zeppelns played an important part with the Germans by keeping them in

 4 British fleet is said to be off the Danish coast tonight watching for the German warships which are reported to have taken refuge in German ports. It is understood the Danish government has given the Ger mans twenty-four hours to leave.
 Although aware that he was opposing stronger force than his own, official state ments make 1t appear that Vice Admiral Beatty courageously engaged the Germans but was completely outnumbered before Admiral Jellco's main fleet was able to get into action Before Admiral Jellico reached the scene the Germans had made off.
 More German Ships Added to List
 The German dreadnought Westfallen has been added to the increasing list of vessels sunk, according to wireless dispatches from Berlin. The German admiralty admits this loss. The German cruiser Elbing and Brit ish destroyer Shark, with nearly all men aboard, are also reported among the lost.
 British Official Statement
 William Hall, chief of the intelligence di vision of the admiralty, today issued gen eral statement on the North sea fight, in which he says:
 "The report from German sources that the superdreadnoughts Marlborough and Warspite have been lost is absolutely un, true Both of these war fighters are safe in their harbors The German report that the entire British battle fleet engaged Tn the naval fight is equally untrue.
 That portion of the British fleet which was engaged in the battle with the German warships was much inferior to the total battle fleet of the Germans. At that the British fleet drove the German warShlps back into their harbor. The British navy controls the sea today as it has done for years"
 Two German Fleets in Battle COPENHAGEN, June 3-There were two parts to the German fleet which engaged in the battle in the North sea last Wednes- day afternoon and night with the Brush fleet. This statement was given out here today by the captain of the Danish steam ship Naesborg.
