Neither of the men knew anything about running a motor boat, but thought that with the help of the rudder they could pole the craft without difficulty, as the Deasedeash river, down which they would have to follow for greater part of the way, Is quite shallow in most plac- es. The rudder, however, in- stead of proving an Assistance came very near being the cause of their undoing, as they had R lot of sup piles on board which made the boat heavy and unwieldy nnd when they came to the Canyon river rapids they were unable to control its direction and were carried un- der a "sweepre" Climb of a tree hanging close above the surface Of the water), which swamped the boat and threw both men into the water.

WILL. SEEK RECRUITS
 ON GOVERNMENT RAILROAD

There will be a meeting of the Red Cross society this evening, called by the president, Dr. Vest ermdn, at which time several i'm portant subjects will be up for dis cussicn. The most important Bub- ject, and the one that is of the most interest will be deciding on when tha Red Cross committee will be sent out the government railroad to the different camps along the line, to enlist recruits in tha membership roll. Several well known women have volunteered to make the trip as many of the resi- dents of that section are unable to leave their work to come in, and have also asked that this might be done, as there is & large territory to draw from, and good results for the fund are assured. The committee has planned that a decorated car with the Red Cross emblems as well as the national flags, and Red Cross nurses h cos tunes to add to the attractive ness, be taken out and a complete canvass of the camps be made.
 The committee wish it to be known that the idea was suggested by employees and residents living out the line who wish to do their bit" along with the townspeople of Anehorage.-AnchOrage Times.

MOSQUITOES BIG AS CANARTEs

Captain Chas. Bloomquist of the steamer Dawson of the White Pass fleet, who arrived in the port of Whitehorse from Dawson Sunday af- ternoon, said that although the water in the river here Is lower than ever before known at this time of the year, below the mouth of the Hootalinqua the mighty stream is almost oveTflowing it's banks and roaring through Five Fingers in resistless flood.
 He also reported that in coming up through the Thirty-Mile river the weather turned warm and sul- try and that the mosquitoes, as big as canary birds and as savage and blood-thirsty as Apache h. dians of the old regime in. Arizona, would sit on the limbs of the trees lining the banks of the stream and as soon as the boat hove in sight descend on 1t in swarms and simply devour the poor steamboat men and pass the nice, juicy touf- ists up as not worthy of their at tenticn.
 Did We not know the Captains absolute veracity We shuold be in- cltned to doubt the part of the above story that has reference to the choice Of diet by the mosqui- toes; otherwise it is perfectly all right.--Whitehorse Star.

active nor aggressive, but there was
very little support in evidence and

to 2e.12, or 81 to 4S points net lower.
No change was reported in the Liver

Enough covering TO cause slight raj

but the western belt forecast for show
