NEARLY ALL THOSE
ABOARD WERE ALASKANS

Seattle. wn, Oct. 26-Nearly all those
aboard the Princess Sophia, it is belie,
ed here, were Alaskans, who boarded
the steamer at Skagway after coming
up the Yukon rive- from the internior of
the northern territory. They left the
river at White Horse and went by train
to Skogway.
The Sophia struck at o'clock Thurs
cay morning. 1t was at first thong ut
that she would float on the high tide
in the afternoon. Efforts in that dir".-
ton evidently failed and the vessel re-
manned fast.
The government lighthouse tenders
and number Of small craft stood 10y
the Sophia.
Yesterday Captain Locke. master of
the steamer, notified the Canadian "a
cifics Vancouver Office that tte Wind
made it impossible to transfer anyone
from the stranded ship to the boats
standing by. The vessel was in the
path of the wind, which often sweeps
down the Lynn canal with hurricane
force. Thursday afternoon a northerly

70 pound badly, making it almost 'm-
possible to launch l;feboats from s.v-
eral steamers which had answered the

ONLY 12CASES
INFLUENZA IN
CITY PORTLAND

Portland, Me, oct. 2i.-Saturday s
total Of influenza cases up until l P.
M, the closing hour of the Board II
Health, amounted to y. Without
doubt the figure coming from the
officials Monday will be considerably
larger due to the fact that Saturday
afternoon, Sunday and Mondays re-
ports will be all combined in one.
In an interview last evening with
DR.. Tetreau of the Board of Health,
he stated that the public should avoid
unnecessary GROWING as much as
possible, for there was still danger
of contracting the disease, as there
were many cases III the city. Howev-
er, there is not the same danger now
as a few weeks past, especially If all
will keep to the rules and regula-
tons published by the board some
time ago.
The situation in other parts of the
the State is also improving ana
many cities and towns are lifting the
ban today for the churches ana
schools and theaters tomorrow. AL
Bridgton, the Board of Health, with
the advice of physicians in town has
extended the ban on all public gath
erings until Nov. 4. From Oct. . to
Oct. "a. 405 cases of influenza were
reported and there were many cases
that had not been reported. While the
authorities IN that town do not con-
slider that the epidemic is increas-
ing, they feel that conditions are
such that do not warrant the open
ing of public places for at least an
other Weckk.
Lewiston churches will be pernit-e
to hold services today and other pubic
places will be open Monday, but the Gan
remains on at Auburn across the river.
At the present time in Lewiston there
are about 500 active cases, and about 80
new cases were reported yesterday, and
while the present number of active cases
is considerably larger than that reported
at the time the closing Greer became ef-
fective, it is thought by the physicians
that the disease has reached its peak
and is now on the decline. The quaran-
tine is still in force at Bates college
where there are several cases az in+i:-
enza among the girl students.
The ban will remain on at Auburn for
a few days longer as the authorities
claim there are still enough cases to
warrant holding the closing order III
force until further developments. There
is steadily falling off in the number
of new cases at Auburn with about i25
on the active list. The ban comes eff
today at Lisbon, Lisbon Falls, Norway,
Pennington, Monmouth, Wayne and the
majority of the towns in Cumber,a1 I'D
county.

first to be solved Mr.. Daniels said, was

The mining section of the ordnance BIZ

type which has surpassed all expecta-
tons, the secretary said. The design
of the new mine was proceeded with
rapidly and as each part was deterG1in-
ed upon it was put into quantity produce

in producing the mine in this way in
stead a waiting until the completed &C.
sign could be tested, it is said that at
least year was saved The mines were
assembled at a mine depot and when
tested under actual service conditions
were found to function perfectly. There
fore after the mines had begun to be
turned out in quantity arrangements
we're made to take over an important
railroad shipping pier in this country
from which to handle shipments of nine
material. Mining depots were fitted Up
on the outside for the assembling Of
mines, mines bases established and

The first MINI parts were shipped last

teen constant flow of mines to supply
the several hundred mine planters under

the barrage that is now a menace to ,v-
cry German submarine venturing into

believe probably has accounted FOR many
of them.
