Several Boats Damaged and Practically All of Them Suffered from
 the Storm.
FIFTY MILES AN HOUR
Same Storm at Sitka SmaShes Bell Tower; Markings from the
 Weather Bureau.

Material damage was done alons the waterfront by the strong South east gale last night, that reached a maximum velocity of 50 miles an hour. The dozen or more small boats tied up at the City Float and the fishing float were hit hard by the gale. The Clara D., and two other smaly boats were swamped. The bow of the Cricket was badly smash ed The Emerald, owned by A. H. Humpheries, broke loose from her moorings and was carried to the shore of Douglas Island.
 Damage was done to the Hegg the Dauntless, the Yukon and the Santa Rita and practically all of the small boats on the waterfront.
 High waves rocked every movable craft and small boats threatened to eat each other up, until the owners, with the help of volunteers. got them strung out and then stood guard with pike poles to keep them separated and to keep drift from hitting them. A boom of logs broke loose, adding to the danger
 Extra lines were fastened from the Alice and the Cedar and the King & Winge to hold them. For a time one of the big boats was placed at the City Dock to try and break the wind for the smaller craft at the City Float.
 The United States Weather Bureau reports that yesterday the barometer fell as low as 2S.S9 at -Sitka at l D. m. and 2860 at Juneau at 1:55 p. m. The wind registered 30 miles an hour, but does not show the maxi mum.
 There was no ferry on the channel during the evening.

One of Alaska's worst trails, that between Kaltag, a lower Yukon town and Unalakleet, Norton Sound coast point between St. Michael and Nome, is being given winter stake mark ings. Stakes along the trail, 1t is believed will help the mail carriers and their dog teams during the winter. Mail from Nome, St. Mich ael and Seward Peninsula points is carried over the Kaltag- Unalakleet trail during the winter. In the sum- mer it runs through wilderness and is used by only the most daring "mushers," who by taking the sev. enty-mile trail, can save a 250-mile trip through the Yukon delta and across a strip of the Boring Sea to St. Michael. In the winter this trail is packed by snow but in the summer it is boggy and climbs or goes around thousands of niger heads.

One Of the most pronounced nuts.
ances with which seasoned travellers ou
railroad trains have to contend Is tho
"open-window crank" This fellow
for he Is usually a male instead Of a
female-persists In having his window
open, no matter whether other Occu-
pants Of the car dislike 1t or not and
It usually results In the other passen.
gers thereab0ut receiving liberal sup
ply Of dust and fine cinders, as well
as enough soft coal smoke to last them
the remainder Of their lives. These
open-window cranks are almost always
occasional travellers. 1t Is noticed by
those who have taken the pains to OBJ
serve that the regular traveler-thu9
Is. the man who rides every day I'M
summer-never opens the window be"
side the seat In which he Is riding. 1t
does not mean any more comfort for
him to do so, as he long ago discov.
cred, but much discomfort instead.
As soon as railroad car starts ia
move there Is more or less air stirring
and II the open-window cranks would
only compose themselves a few mo-
ments they would be far more COM
Portable than they would to breathe
coal dust, smoke and cinders. But the
average occasional traveller will push
up his window as soon as he enters the
car.
1t makes no difference to him how
much the rest of the car suffers-he Is
the only one to be considered. 1t Is q
practice that causes great discomfort
to passengers who have the necessary
sense to know that everybody Ia better
