YUKON RIVER MAIL CARRIER
 COMMITTED TO MT. TABOR

A telegram from Dr. r. W. Lamb, co1n- missioner at N,9ato has been received hy Thomas Long, United States deputy mar shal at Ruby, stating that Harry Lappin of Nulato has been adjudged insane and IS to t,e committed to Mount Tabor, according 70 the Ruby RecordCitizen of November IS,
 Harry Lappn is well known along the lower Yukon, particularly between Holy Gross and Nulato. Some years ago he lived at Panama, but lately has made his home at Nulato. He and Fred Milligan have been equal partners in mari sub-contract from the Northern Commercial Company for the last three years, and Milligan did everything in his power to avert the unfortunate neces- sity for commitment, But Lappin, who has been in poor health for the past year, be- came irresponsible lately, and last spring burned down a roadhouse and cabin, Sev- eral fires of mysterious origin have been started since The result Is that the au- thorities have taken up the matter, and the unbalanced Lappm is now awaiting the arrival of Deputy Marshal Long for safe convoy to Mount Tabor, Oregon.

LONDON, Oct l4-4hr Tnnes teddy publishes one of the most startling an inducements of the war, which is nothing less than a fervent plea from King terd Hand of Pnunania to the allied helllgerent nations not 10 tlet ifis nation suffer the same fate as Serbia and Belgium The statement shows norc than anything else could that RUmauia is in a nanst dangerous condition. King Ferdinand in his plea says that his nation staked its al when it entered the war for the allies He declared tbat R0u mania did not fight for expediency, but lt> motive pres one of the biggest principles of nationality He points o,r that .Ronmania and Germany were friendly in the begin ming, but Roumanla refused to fight for the centra4 pnwtrs, and later turned against them because Germany intrigued to bring such declaration of war around. Ron mania, the king says honestly got to hate
 rmdty because Germany wanted Rou- mania to fight, although such a course would have been against lls welfare. Hls
 hole plea Is m attenipt so show that Eou mania entered the war for honorable roa sons which demand that she should not be left to destruction pow at the h@ndS of the
 tons. At the same time the king de c'ares that Roumania will not falteT, 2nd will fight to fhe end no matter how bad matters look at present.

FAMOUS ALASKA GOLD SHIP
 BEING BROKEN UP AS JUNK

Alaska sourdoughs, water front habltues and Seattle business men generally will read with interest news from the North that the good ship Portland, for years lying on the beach at KatalIa, is being dlsmantled by E. E. Miller for the salvage of the metal according to the Railway and Marine News. It is a great pity that the Portland, or at least portion of her hulk, could not have been preserved in some Seattle park or mu- scum. for all interests of the commercial life of the city unitedly give to that famous carrier the unique distinction of placing Se- attle on the map. Her arrival nineteen years ago in July was the signal for the news flashed throughout the civilized world of the discovery of the klondlke, from which dates Alaskas forward movement and Seattle's growth. It was the Portlsnd that brought into Seattle harbor that great cargo of gold, banned from the Yukon rlver, winch inaugurated the most romantic and sue cessful gold rush the world has ever known
 The Portland began her long career m 1885, under the name of the Haytlen Republic, and she started at once to fur nish copy for the newspapers, as she was seized for carrying contraband to the rebels in Hayti. When the United States government forced her release an attempt was made to sink her as she left the harbor of Port au Prince, and the marks of this ! brush with the gunboat selected to do the work were visible when she came to the Pacific coast in 1889.
 She failed to make good either as can nery boat or passenger steamer, and was
 finally chartered by Portland concern for service between Puget sound and the Co., lumbia river. It is said that later she be- came a carrier of contraband Chinese and opium, at which she was successful until seized and sold by the government at Port land. Her new owners renamed her the Portland, and after improving the vessel she had varied and somewhat respectable .areer, running to all points between Pan ana and the Aleutian islands, until she be- l came one of the fleet of the old Alaska
