NORTHERN BRITISH C0LUflBIA
Receiving Attention OF the
Canadian Government

A party of prominent Canadian
officials were aboard TIE Princess
Sophia Tuesday morning en- route
to Atlin. In the party were F. H.
Mobley, member of the Legisla-
tive Assembly for the Attn Dis
trict, British Columbia, A. L.
Caruthers, engineer for the divi-
sion of public works, and George
Clothier, district mining engineer.
Messrs. Mobley and Caruthers
are accompanied by their wives.
The party will go up the Taku on
the CASTER as far as that stream
is navigable. They will then go
to Haines and make a trip into
the Porcupine region in the direc-
ton of Kluane. After the Porcu-
pine trip they will go to Skagway
and from thence by rail to Car
cross from which point they will
go by water to Atlin. While in
the Interior they will make a sec
ond trip into the Taku region.
The report of Messrs. Caruthers
and Clothier will be the first au.
thentic report on the Taku region.
On their return early in Septem-
Der it is not unlikely that Messrs.
Clothier and Caruthers will stop
off at Wrangell and make a trip
up the Stickine. All three gentle
men were in Wrangell last year,
and it is a matter of qualification
to the people of this region that
Northern British Columbia is re-
ceiving attention from the Cana
dian government.

Capt. A. B. Conover and James
Wilson are in town this week from
Glenora. They brought with them
nice collection Of furs. Capt.
Conover also brought with him
the skin of the glacier bear killed
by Arthur Bannon of Portsmouth,
Ohio, two months ago. twill be
shipped to Mr.. Damon together
with the skull. tits most beauti-
full skin, and one for which Ban
non refused an offer Of $500 from
a fur buyer. Capt. Conover states
that this is the only glacier bear
he has ever known of being killed
in this region, and the Captain
has probably seen as many bear
as any man in British Columbia.

THE STlKINE ROUTE
Is the Most Feasible to the
Cold Fields of the Ground
Mountains
Telegraph Creek, B. c..
july 20. 1918.

The trail repair gang on the
YUKON Telegraph line in charge
of Jack Fowler returned July 4th,
not being able to cross the Iscoot
summit on account of the great
depth of snow. Fowler will leave
again about the middle of the
month.
Calibreath's pack train arrived
July 5th from Ground Hog Noun
tain. This train left on June 9Th
with a party of surveyors for
Messrs. Taylor and Roberts OF
Vancouver. The cargadoor re-
ports considerable snow in places
going out, but a splendid trip re-
turning with good feed. The re-
turn trip was made in eight days.
Considering the late season and
the lack of laid out trails this is
considered a splendid trip and
means much to the Stikine route
as it proves it is the natural route
to the coal field of the Ground
Hog Mountains where there is
found to be a great deal of devel-
opment work to be done after the

WOMEN WAIT on TABLE
In RAILROAD MESS HALL

Anchorage, Aug. 7, 1918. For
the first time since the beginning
Of the construction Of the govern
ment railroad, women are en-
ployed now to wait on table in the
mess hall of the Alaskan Engin-
eering Commission and the lunch
room of the Railroad Young Men S
Christian Association in Anchor
age.
The military conscription law
and the demand for laborers at
wages considerably higher than
can be paid for waiting on table
gradually made impossible the ob-
tanning of experienced men wait
ers in the mess hall and lunch
room. and, after fruitless efforts
to maintain the service with elder
ly men and boys, recourse finally
was had to the employment of
women.
When difficulty first was en-
eountered in getting experienced
men walters, the experiment was
tried of employing elderly men
and breaking them into the work.
These, however, on account OF the
scarcity Of labor in other lines,
soon took advantage of the OPP
portunities to earn higher wages
at 1ther work. Then an effort
was made to supply the need with
boys. but the result proved that
any boy strong enough to wait
on table was quickly attracted
from the job by a mans pay at
some other position. The expert
n.art with boys was short lived.
The employment of women
seems to be a permanent solution
of the problem.

COLUMBIA & NORTHERN
DOCK C0LLAPSES
SUNDAY MORNING

About four hundred feet of the
Columbia and Northern docks, in
Guiding the approach, collapsed
at low tide early Sunday morning.
The crash of the falling structure
was heard about six o'clock and
those who FASTENED to Investigate
found that the largest dock and
the two buildings upon the outer
end had settled down upon the
water and were simply afoat.
The buildings which were used
for receiving and caring for the
fish as it was brought in by the
fishermen, contained large num-
Der of empty barrels and terces.
No one was injured. A row boat
at the floating dock nearby was
slightly damaged.
The collapse is attributed to the
fact that the pilings were not put
in straight in the first place and
sloped slightly toward the south
east, the direction in which the
docks fell. This slant has been
aggravated gradually by the land
ing of the large boats at the docks
for fish shipments in spite of the
fact that new pilings have been
put in at times. Ii was exceed
ingly fortunate that the collapse
Of the docks occurred at an hour
when no Ole was at work in the
two buildings for as they settled
upon their. watery foundations,
the joists were pushed upwards
and there is no doubt but that
anyone at work there would have
been in grave danger of being
crushed.
Manager J. G. Bjorge of the
Columbia and Northern, states
that the financial loss to the COM
pany has not been estimated.
Temporary structures viii, be cy-
ected on the main deck to take
care of the fish. Coming as it did
at the height Of the busy fish sea-
son, when labor Is scarce, the loss
Of the dock is a very serious in
convenience owing to the extra
work tits puttingon the employees
to vacate the damaged buildings
and arrange for otter accomoda-
tons for the handling Of the fish
received. The dock will not be
rebuilt at present.

TWO WRANGELL R0YS
LEAVE TO ENLIST
Whole Town Turns Out to Say
Goodbye to Louis Lemleux
and Weston Dalgity

Friday night Wrangell wit
messed the departure of Two of the
community's m Il popular MEM
bers of the younger set, Weston
Dalgity. whose going WIS an
nounced last week, and Louis
LemieuX whose patriotism is no
whit less than that of lis friend
and companion. Both young men
desire to enter the army, rot be-
cause they have received the word
to go, but because they have heard
the call Of duty and have respon-
ded. Both boys have recently at
tanned their majority. Lemieux
had an accident not long ago to
one foot. spraining the ankle, and
was compelled to use clutches for
awhile, but that mishap did not
dampen his ardor, and when the
crutchas were discarded few
days ago he too. made ready to
go. He and Dalgity had planned
to leave on the Prince Rupert
Sunday but being unable to learn
definitely that the boat would stop
in. decided to 90 on the Alice in
stead.
Louis Lemieux has lived in
Wrangell for almost seventeen
years with the exception OF two
years spent in Oregon at school.
He is of a pleasing personality and
cheerful disposition and should
make a soldier OF the finest type.
Both he and Dalgity sill visit in
Oregon and hope to enter the
Officers Training Corps. Lee
mieuX has had two years and
Dalgity one years military train
ing in the Oregon Agricultural
College.
On Friday afternoon Sam Cum
ningharn hastily made plans fora
little farewell dance fer the two
boz S. He was aided in the matter
by Miss Billir gton, Thor Hofstad
ard Lloyd Da!gity who furnished
the music and a good crowd en-
joyed the dancing until the Mice
sounded the warning whistle
when the dancers accompanied
the boys to the boat AID there the
goodbycs We're SAID. They were
brave goodhyes too, smiles and
laugh ter even though the tears
were very close. AEo ali is the
feeling that these rartings are
very necessary ii this old world is
going to remain a ''ssirable place
in which to live, ard so mothers
and fathers and sWeethearts and
all who are near and dear the
country over say their goodbyes
to the boys they love, as bravely
as possible, and a steady stream
of trained, resolute manhood goes
"over there % fight, and TO win.
We dare say that few are more
brave than those who gave up two
boys here in WrangeIl Friday.
A fter the boat had gone the crowd
went back to the hail and the
dance was resumed for awhile;
and if all was not as it had been
less than an hour before, 10 out
sid. r could have detected the diff
ference. I'VE must give our boys
if we are to keep the Germans
from coming here" said one
mother bravely, and the look in
her eyes showed that she meant
what she said.

Soldiers TO Work on Farms

Under recent act of Congress, fur
loughs are to be granted to enlisted
men to enable them to engage in agri-
culture during the present farming
season, where such furloughs do not
interfere with the training and prepar-
alton of any organization of which
those requesting furloughs are menu
bers.
Under orders issued by the war de-
partment, furloughs in accordance with
this act, will be granted for short
periods, largely for seeding and har-
vesting time, but such furloughs will
not be granted to enlisted men of the
rank of first grade sergeant and higher,
nor will they be granted to men in
any organization that has been ordered
or is in transit from point of moblliza-
ton or training to point of embarka-
ton. Burroughs granted under this
order will be without pay and allow
ances.
Application for furloughs may be
made by the soldier individually or by
relatives. Regular blank forms for
making application may be had from
the local draft boards.
Burroughs may also be granted en-
bloc to men who are willing to accept
them, upon the request of farmers
when the time to be consumed in
travelling from the post to the place Of
labor will not exceed twenty flour hours
Blank applications under this pro
vision may also be had from the loca
boards, and the application must be-
accompanied by statement that the
applicant is in position to pay to the
soldiers such wages as are usually paiC
in the vicinity.
All applications are to be passed
, upon by the commanding officers o
! posts, camps, cantonments, divisions
and departments, which officer has thu
right to approve or disapprove the ap
plications upon the information sub
J mitted.
From review of the orders of tn,
War Department and the application
blanks, it would appear that tim
. would be saved in having action takel
