MoNTRoSE INDIANS WALLoPs
DELTA ON HOME GROUNDS

Delta suffered a sad blow at the
hands of those Montrose Indians here
on Tuesday when they defeated our
boys to the tune of to 2.
The game was well attended and the
interest was keel throughout, but
Montrose led off right and luck ap-
peared to be with them all the way
through the game.
The grounds were in bad shape oc-
casioned by the severe rains we have
been having during the past ten days,
and they presented the old-time
and much touted swamp" that has
been the cause of much comment in
the newspapers.
McGraw was in the best of form and
threw another of his good games.
Hall threw for Delta and while il
might be said a poor excuse to men
tion the fact that the game was lost
by him being knocked out, yet it is
fact that he has been feeling under
the weather the past week.

The Montrose boys put up about the

 In speaking to the Progressive Miner man today, MT. Lowle stated that the outlook for business for both freight and passengers was never brighter and that the Cana dian Pacific Company was leaving no stone unturned to take care of its patrons. Not only that, but the company has an object in view, which is to properly take care of the increasing tourist business with out neglecting the regular Alaska traffic, and augmented service has been decided upon for the coming season.
 An attractive illustrated folder under the name of Alaska 1916" has been prepared and distributed to the c. P. R. Agencies all over the world and advices have been re- ceived that bookings and inquiries for Alaska trips are already beat ing records for the time of the year. cords for the time of the ear.
 The three magnificent Princess steamers, Charlotte Alice and So- phia will operate from June g next, and thus afford a service not pre- viously equaled on the coast.
 Speaking about the outlook for the Yukon Territory, MT. Lowle stated that the high price of copper had stirred up things in the White horse copper belt, and the mines are expecting to be running full blast very soon.

LONDON, Feb. 14.-It has been suggested that the government take over all distilleries and convert them into arms and munition fac tories. It is said that since the liquor traffic is practically prohib- ited, the government may as well take those buildings for its own use, thereby giving employment to many who are otherwie idle, and at the same time prepare sufficient amount of supplies to insure action the coming season.
 The shortage of ammunitions and arms have been great draw back to Great Britain. In this manner it is thought the shortage will be replaced by sufficiency. Fol lowing this decision, an order in council will be issued prohibiting the importation of barley.

HEAVY SEA BREAKS ANCHOR LINE AND WASHES MAN
 OVERBOARD
GAS LAMP BLOWS UP
PUT OUT FIRE AND LOOK FOR
 HIM WITHIN FIVE s~ MINUTES

The heavy storm of last Satur- day has proven very diasterouS to many fishing boats and among them all the worst that has been report ed was the drowning of Adrian Van Asperen, a Ketchikan boy and one of the three members of the crew of the schooner Tyee.
 The Tyee was anchored in the south arm. of Hendrix bay but ow- ing to the extreme rough sea and high wind the anchor line parted allowing the gale to throw the boat over on her side when the oil lamp in the engine room exploded setting the interior of the boat afire Two of the boys confined themsel- yes to putting out the fire while it seems Van Asperen went on deck and after a period of time of per haps five minutes, when the fire was extipguished his two partners went looking for him, but it being about 6 o'clock in the evening and dark they were unable to locate any trace of the missing man, how ever, the rowboat was overheard and it is thought that when the wind carried the boat overheard he was carried with it. The fishing schooner Roald ASnunsen was close by but it was impossible to accom- plish anything that night. A search was attempted the next nor ming to no avail.
 It is reported that the three boys aboard the Tyee were expecting their partners aboard the Pilot to arrive with provisions and having been without for about three days they attempted to get to town but hadn't gone very far when they decided that the wind was too strong and put back.
 The Roald Amunsen came to town last night and reported the Pilot had arrived on the scene and also a large fishing schooner was there and at the first low tide a search for the body would be made. The accident occurred about 200 feet from the beach.
