ICE CLEARING FROM LABERCE;
 BOATS COMING
Special to The Citizen)

DAWSON. '. T., June 5.-Reports received here indicate that the ice is clearing from Lake Laberge at Good Speed, and it is therefore ex- pected that the first boats will leave Whitehorse for Dawson and Fair banks within the coming week AS general rule, when the ice starts running from Laberge it goes out in hurry. consequently it is thought that but lew days more will elapse before navigation on the upper Yu- kon river will be open and steamers will be running regularly between Whitehorse and Dawson.
 Anticipating the breaking of the lake, the steamers Nasutlin and Ca madam left Dawson on Saturday in order to be ready to start across the sheet of water as soon as the ice is all gone They will therefore be the first boats of the season to reach Whitehorse from Dawson. The steamer Panama. the first boat of the season to reach here from Fair banks, is due to arrive at Dawson tomorrow, and it is probable that her passengers will be taken on to Whitehorse within day or two af- ter they arrive on some other White Pass boat.
 X large quantity of freight is ex- pected on the down coming boats rom Whitehorse, the first of which will be either the Alaska or the Yu- kon. bound through to Fairbanks. Most of the freight now waiting at Whitehorse is consigned to the Al asian Engineering commission at Ne nana. according 10 reports received here. T. consists of railroad build
 ng supplies of all kinds.

LOAN CAMPAIGN
 IS SUCCESSFUL
Associated PresS)

WASHINGTON, D. C., June B. That the Liberty loan campaign now being prosecuted throughout the country will eventually be a big sue cess, is the opinion of Secretary of the Treasury William Gibbs McAdoo who has just returned from his sec ond speaking tour in the interests of the loan. Secretary McAdoO states, however, that it will be neces- sary to continue work on the loan if the required amount of $2,00O,0O0,- 900 is to be raised by June 15. While not stating the exact amount that has been subscribed, he says that to date results have been intensely gratifying, and predicts the success of the biggest effort the govern ment ever made to collect money by selling bonds, providing there is no letup in the work being done.

HIGH PRICES
 HIT DAWSON
Special to The Citlzen)

DAWSON, Y. T., June 5.-Although prices on all kinds Of commodities have been abnormally high here since the beginning of the war, par ticularly during the past year, the high prices which now prevail in both Canada and the United States have just hit Dawson. The reason for the sudden rise is believed to be America's entrance into the war, as Dawson has heretofore been but slightly affected by the tluctuation of prices on American markets.
 Following in the steps of the high prices which prevail on the Outside, flour in Dawson has taken a sudden advance of four dollars per hundred. This price is claimed to be eXor- bitant here, and as a consequence a number of progressive Dawsonltes are planning to plant a large acre age in potatoes and other root crops in order to fight the high cost ot living.

J0SLIN TAKES
 MORE OPTIONS
 ON THE QUARTZ

Indicating that, even though he has disposed of the Panama Valley railroad to the government, Falcon JoSlin does not intend to quit the country, but will continue his policy of developing the quartz mining in dustIy ot this district, options on four claims on Ready Bullion dome were taken yesterday in Mr Joslin's name by his local representative, Martin Harrais The claims are the Combination Mcdonald lode, Blue bird and Tango. The owners of the ground OptiOned are John Mcdonald, George Kinney and Dwight Newton,
 The claims are located south of the Ryan lode claim, on which con sidera ble work was done during the past winter after MT. Joslin had taken an option on it, together with other ground. The result of the prospecting done has not yet been definitely determined, but the propo- sition is understood to be under the consideration of certain New York capitalists.
 Work on the newly optioned prop critics is to start about Monday un- der the direction of MT Harrais. It is his idea to continue prospect ing for approximately sixty days, and he hopes in that length of time to have considerable development work done. It is probable that an expert from the Outside will then come in and make more extensive investi gation of the property should the prospects uncovered justify such ac ton.

NEW YORK, June l. (Delaycd) - The arrest of three men here today on the charge of using the mails to send information of a military na tme to Germany has revealed the fact that a deeplaid plot to establish at least two wireless outfits on the Mexican coast. at a port not to be mentioned has been d d.scovered just in time 10 keep the conspirators from carrying their plans .nto exc cution.

ITALIANS IN

 BE ENLISTED
{ Associated PreSS)

WASHINGTON, D. C., June f. That General Guelielmo NottI, of the Italian war commission to the United States, will remain in this country after the commission leaves for home, for the purpose of enlistine al unnaturalized Italians, is the an nouncement made tonight from the headquarters of the commission. Cen eral Notti will supervise the enlist ment of these men for the Italian armies in the name of the Italian government, and it is believed that several hundred thousand men will answer the call to duty,
 The United States government has signified it's willingness to agree to the plan for enlisting the Italians. Tn fact, the plan is more than agree able, for the reason that the gov ernment has heretofore made no ar engagements for enlisting foreigners who are residing in America, Of whom there are many of military age. Nor will there be an effort on the part of the American gov ernment to make foreigners serve, as the officials believe that such a movement would have tendency to greatly unsettle the labor situa- tion in this country.

REPRESENTATIVES,
 PREPARING FOR
 A LONG WINTER

T don't intend to stay long this time; Charlie and I have to get back and tend our ranch We'll be leay- ing in the next day or two"
 The foregoing was the remark made last night by Charlie Ingerson, the well known oIdtime Kantishna trapper and hunter, who, in com pany with Charles Greiss and Fred Hoffman, arrived in town yesterday rom the headwaters Ot the Kan tishna river. when questioned in re gard to the length of his stay in town. The Charlie" he referred to was Greiss And a little more ques- tioning on the subject brought the admission from Mr IngersolI that, although they are far from the beaten path. in place to which letters and newspapers seldom find their way, the people of the Kantishna have heard of the high cost of liy- ing on the Outside-and also that the cost will be higher-and are ac- cordingly making preparations to feed themselves.
 Messrs Ingersoll and Greiss are apparently the chief gardeners of the district. They are located on a good piece of ground on Moose creek, according to MT Ingersoll, and eN- pect 10 follow out the adminlstra- tions preparedness policy to the let ter by raising enough spuGs to feed the entire population of tin" Kan tishna country until the end of the war.
 They are raising other things be sides spuds, too In fact, according to MT. Ingersoll, man with good gun, if he IS also a good rifle shot, could live the length of his days in the Kantishna country without ever seeing civilization, by simply raising garden truck in the summer for his winters consumption. His gun would furnish his meat supply, for game of all kinds is plentiful.
 The three trappers came to Fair 1oir 1n,, says that they disposed of their win ter's catch of fur at Hot Springs.
 Mining this spring in the Kan tishna, says MT. Ingersoll, is very good. The usual trouble in that district is a shortage of water, but the glaciers have been prevented from melting very rapidly by the continued chilly weather, and as a consequence there is now plenty of water for mining operations,
 There are however, but few min ing men in the district, and practi- cally all of them are working on mere spots. Before MT. lngersoll left the Kantishna he heard of a placer strike over on the Toklat watershed, across from the headwa- ters of the Kantishna, but is unable to give any details of it except that he heard that it was a shoveling in proposition of no great richness.

 PROHIBITIVE
(AssoCtated -rcSS)

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 4.- CDelayed) If the plans of the senate finance committee mature and the war tax bill which they are now re- drafting eventually becomes law, the prohibitionists of the country will have gained the victory they have long fought for. That is, nation wide prohibition, without being d reality, will be in effect, for the liquor tax proposed by the senate committee is so high as to be practically pro hibitive. Nor is there hope that importation of liquors is to be al lowed. for in the same item Of the war tax bill which places prohibi tive fax on the distillation ot whis- kies and other liquors. liquor impor> taton is absolutely forbidden. Thus has the senate finance committee made prohibition legislation one of the features of the administration $ war tax measures.
