l here and now proclaim that there
is not any truth in that item. either
directly or indirectly. The writer.
before using an item of that character
should have verified it as to truthful
ness, and for that reason l desire that
1t be contradicted emphatically. 1t
seems that W. S. Dickerson. "Paul

tunity.

AN APPEAL FOR PATRIOTISM ON PLATINUM MADE This Metal Is Scarce and Is Needed to Carry
 Along Essential War
 Operations. DO NOT PURCHASE IT Bureau of Mines Makes An Appeal to the People to Help the Govern
 ment Now.
DO NOT PURCHASE IT

WASHINGTON, June H. The newest type of stacker and one who is doing his country great amount of harm, is the man or woman who buys or even encourages the pur- chase of platinum jewelry, accord ing to the Bureau of Mines, Depart ment of the Interior. For the coun- try is and for many years will be desperately in need of the scarce and precious platinum in it's indus trial work and must have it if the war machine is to go full speed ahead.
 A plan proposed by the Federal of ficials would stop the use of platinum in jewelry, not only for the war but for all time. Officials of the Gov ernment who are in close touch with the situation are filled with appre- hension as to the future supply of platinum As far as can be learned, it is believed that aside from the large amount of manufactured ,aw elry, a large part of which ls Ii. pri vate ownership, there is less than
 
 25 per cent. of the normal stock of unmanufactured platinum in this country available for the needs of the war.
 In an effort to fill the immediate pressing needs of the Government in it's war program, the War Industries Board has ordered that seventy-five per cent of the stock of platinum in the hands of manufacturing jewel CTS be commandeered and also the complete stock held by refiners, i'm porters and dealers, but this, it is said, will only fill small gap and that temporarily.
 It has been hoped by Federal offic- als and chemists throughout the country who understand the serious ness of the situation that the whims of fashion might yield to national needs and that purchasers of jewelry demand gold and silver or white al- Joy and so release platinum for it's highest use, but the results have been disappointing.

CAPTAIN SWANSON
 MARRIED AT SEATTLE

Capt. Gustav F. Swanson, master of the Alaska Steamship Company's steamer Ketchikan, has long been known as one of the doughtiest shippers of the North Pacific, as he was master of the big little steamer Dora for several years, but Thurs day night he proved himself a reg ular Lockinvar as well, says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer of June Sth. At least that is what his fel- low mariners and brother members of the Shipmasters' Association of the United States assert. And all because Capt. Gus stole march on the balance of the unmarried master mariners by capturing Miss Clara Dayton, assistant secretary of the Shipmasters' Association, as his bride.
 Capt Swanson IS scheduled to sail with his steamer for Nome to- morrow night. He has been in the service of the Alaska Steamship Co. for l2 years. nine of which as a shipmaster, and is one Of the most popular navigators in the service of that company.

Our Boys in France Tobacco Fund,
 New York City.
 After a short visit to the front was unfortunate enough to get slight ly injured as we'll as gassed and of course had to be moved to the hos pital, and as usual found myself without smokes, but only for short of my wants she brought me box containing quite number of them from your fund, in that box there was a card from the donor which intended to answer just as soon as was able Now that time came and regret to state that the card has been misplaced and I am deprived of the privilege of thanking this person and to let him know the wonderful amount of pleasure I got from that box during my four weeks stay in the hospital 1 am not the only one that was blessed with a box, for ev. cry one that came in the hospital re- ceived one and regardless of how ser iUuS luS case WdS tue SIllOheS sure did help the boys forget their trou bles more or less and think of the folks back home who have not for gotten us over here.
 I am writing you this in hopes that you have some way to let this par ticular donor as well as the many others who do not receive a personal acknowledgement that the boxes are being received and many times under such circumstances that will not per init the boys to write for some time afterwards in which during the mean. time the cards get lost.
 With very best regards tO your or. ganization and all contributors to the much needed Tobacco Fund, a remain, very truly yours,

MISSING BOAT
 OF WEAVER AND
 SWEEZY FOUND

SEWARD, May 31. -, The boat used by Bill Weaver and Ben. .Sweezy on their fateful trip last November, has been found and is today on the beach near Bear glacier by a party of hunters, Tom Jepson, l.. C.. Bates. and Jack Mathison, says the Gateway.
 longing to the missing old timers, together with other articles, was found bottom up on the beach about 300 yards south of Bear gla- cier last Tuesday by Jepson. Others of the hunting party took up the search and found one pair of oars, and gunny sack containing rubber hose, coiled up, and one of the miss ing oarlOcks. An aluminium cup was found in the creek near the glacier and this has been identified as belonging to the missing. The hunters returned here yes terday and brought the boat found on the beach. The boat shows the results of being buffeted about by the wind and waves.
 It is possible that a searching party will be organized. go to the district near the glacier and make thorough search for the bodies of the missing men.
 Sweezy and Weaver left here last November for cruise down the coast. When they failed to return two searching parties were sent out but returned with DO information. A grub basket, belonging to the men was found on the beach and returned here. The finding of this started the searching parties out.
