hearing plainly indicate well di rected cooperation between the in terested parties and recommends a rate of $5 per ton weight on pack ages not to weigh less than 300 pounds bulk and not Amore than three pounds bulk and not more than 3.S5 cubic feet. This rate will be given trial with the understanding that after a reasonable time. if it proves excessive or unduly low, it will be readjusted to remedy the situation existing
 "The rate recommended by the Shipping Board is identical with the present established rate and is the same as was charged by our com pany on the latest shipment of pulp taken south by one of it's vessels from Speel River" said Mir Kline.
 This ruling follows a hearing of the Shipping Board given the Alaska Pulp and Paper Company, complain ing of excessive transportation charges made by Alaska steamship companies on it's product to Seattle After all the evidence had been put in, the board took the matter under advisement reserving it's decision un til later.

SMALL CHILD HIT BY AUT0;
 IN HOSPITAL
"Sonnie" Smith Receives Cut on the Head While Play-
 :ng in the Street.

"Sonnie," the four and half year old son of MT. and Mrs. L. II. Smith, was hit by the California Grocery delivery auto while playing near his home at the Juneau Dairy late yesterday afternoon and the small cut on his head which at that time was not considered dangerous last night caused the little fellow to be come unconscious.
 Today he is at St. Ann hospital resting easily and it is thought that no serious injury will result from the accident.
 According to Chief of Police T. E. P. Keegan, who has investigated the accident, the auto was travelling exceedingly slow as it was about to pass another machine and the driver was using the utmost caution.
 In commenting on the accident, Nick Bavard said "It was one of those unfortunate affairs and I am as hurt, in one sense of the word, as the little boy, as it is the first accident I have ever had. With three other men, was coming in slowly along the road. There was an auto about 40 or 50 feet in front of my car, also running slowly When opposite the Juneau Dairy, small. boy dashed out from the high bank at that 4localty and ran across the road between the car in front of me and my car l blew my horn. Suddenly the little Smith boy darted out from behind the bank. l threw on my emergency brake but as the lad was only four or five feet in front of my car. I~could not stop and he was knocked down and the car passed over him, none of the wheels. however, hitting his body. carried the boy into the dairy house The accident was unavoidable ow ing to the boy darting out from the bank and neither he seeing my car or I seeing him before he was right on top of the auto"

Ancient Crone Knew Good Liquor When Murmured 'Sunnybrook

The snows of almost a hun dred Yukon winters had fallen on her once raven locks; al- most a hundred mosquito filled summers had left their path in wrinkles on her once plump cheeks, as she sat, almost the sole survivor of once proud race of Yukon Indians in the excursion train coming to Skag- way from the Whitehorse cele- bration.
 Like a Moose picking up the scent of a running brook after a long hard days travel over the Yukon valleys, she sniffed and sniffed, and a smile that lit up her eyes like sunlight crept over her weather beaten feature as she murmured "Sunnybrook"
 And "Sunnybrook" was right for one of the eXcursionists who was carrying little flask as a preventative against train sickness had lost the cork from it and in bending over the con- tents had saturated his cloth ing so that in his trips up and down the car an aroma that made the ozone of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Kentucky famous was waited hither and yon in the car.
 Although those almost hun dred winters may have dimmed the eyes and furrowed the cheeks of the last lone survi- vor of a once mighty tribe, it had not affected her scent as she named it the first time.
