HAVE YOU SEEN THE AEROPLANE

An aeroplane is said to be hover ing these parts. It has been seen at several places, flying up Tongass Narrows, at Hadley, and Wrangell, and said to have followed the Geor- gia for several hours on her way to Sitka. There are many theories advanced for it's appearance here and one of these is to the effect that it is being sent to carry mail from White Horse to interoir parts of the Klondike, another is that it may be German and spells disaster for Canadian boats. Whatever it is and what it is here for remains a mystery so far.

IT WILL BE SOME GAME

The basket ball game scheduled for tonight between the Married Men and the Singles has been post poned week and instead the Sing -es will take on a game from the Government School at Metlakatla Saturday night at the Rink. This team, though somewhat light will offset any advantage the Ketchikan boys may have in weight by their speed. They have handed the team that gave Ketchikan hard fight a month ago an awful walloping at Metlakatla recently and have not lost game this year. How ever, the Singles will endeavor to make things interesting for them and lively battle is assured. The Rink floor has been drawn down to regulation size and new bas- kets have been installed. This will speed up the play and make better team work possible. The proceeds of this game will be do- mated to the gymnasium fund, so every one is urged to turn out and help a worthy cause. The follow ing is the lineup of the Ketchikan team:

hear of the seriousness Of the dye stu

many shades Of gray are popular for
