BATTLES FOR LIFE
 THIRTY HOURS IN SEA

], HOQUIAM, Wash, Aug 29.-Frank Shamley, fisherman, and his little dog Topsy, about whose fate at sea harbor fishing circles have been stirred all this week through lack of definite news, are both alive and well.
 This was confirmed when cOnvinc- ing statements were obtained from men at Copalis beach and Damon's point on the Pacific ocean, who suc- cored Shamley and the dog when they came ashore after clinging for twenty hours to a cedar slab and coming through the breakers more dead than alive. Details of the ordeal at sea, as told by Shamley to his rescuers, provide one of the strangest stories in harbor marine annals. Shamley went aground with the Helen about o'clock last Monday night on spit just inside the north jetty after the anchor line had fouled the propeller and rendered him helpless.
 Fearing the Helen was doomed to break up, he donned life preserver, took his dog Topsy and started to wade ashore, hauling with him skiff he carried as a tender. He stayed with the Helen long enough to lash the matches and make all safe, as he thought, should the Helen refloat at higher stage of the tide. But he re- mained too long by his boat and when he attempted to wade to the north shore, hauling the skiff with the dog aboard, the surf tore the skiff rope out of his hands and she went adrift, but not before Topsy had scrambled over- board and swan to her master, who was obliged to wade on to a higher spit further inside the jetty The man and dog were marooned, as the fast flooding tide made it impossible to wade further ashore and Shamley had no other means, as he is poor swim mer. The dog remained with her master.
 Chance at this stage favored the pair and probably saved their lives, as Shamley was able to obtain a floating cedar slab about 20 feet long and a foot wide as it passed the spit. On this, man and dog floated off about two hours later when the rising tide submerged the spit Shamley declared that from that time until he woke up on Oyehut beach his recollection of events was hay.

HUMAN GOAT
 WILL CLIMB
 MOUNT ECCLES

A spectacular stunt is promised in connection with the other events scheduled for the Labor Day celebra- tion in Cordova, when Bert Sparrow, the so-called Human Goat" will un- dertake to climb Mt. Eccles and re- turn within a period of two hours and fifty minutes. Sparrow, who is said kp have been a dispatch runner with the Allied armies during the war, has been making mountain climbing rec ords at various Alaskan towns. On the Fourth of July he made an eyhiti- ton ascent of Mt. Juneau, 3690 feet high, in two hours and five minutes. At Valdez recently he made the trip from the corner of Mckinley street and Broadway to the top of the r,oun- tain at the foot of the glacier, and re- turned in the remarkable time of two hours and forty-one minutes. In doing so he had to cross several gla- cier streams so swift that horse was repaired for the crossing, and he went up the mountain, 4500 feet h:gh, over a route which was generally believed to be impossible. Sparrow claims to have climbed and descended Mt Rainier in the record time of seven and three-quarter hours.
 For the Labor Day exhibition in Cor dova Sparrow promises to make the ascent and descent of Mt Eccles in two hours and fifty minutes, going up the mountain from the town side in full view of the spectators, a feat which is declared by many to be i'm possible. On the way up he will carry a flag, which he will wave from time to time, so that his progress may be watched and at the summit he will wave the flag to announce his arrival. Returning, the Human Goat" prom ises to leap over ledge one hundred feet high, and another seventy-five feet high. Sparrow asks no remuner- ation for his exploit, but on his suc- cessful return to town a collection will be taken up.

OLD NOME CITIZEN
 FINDS LAST REST

James M. Streeten, well known mo- tary public and mining man of Nome, died last month, according to Nome, ad- vices. from the effects of a stroke of paralysis. MT. Streeten was found in his office Sunday, July 2, in an un- conscious condition and was taken to his apartments in the Sheldon hotel. Every care was given the stricken man but his age initiated against re- covery.
 MT. Streeten came to Nome about 1900 and has been a continuous resi- dent of this city. He was engaged in the business of notary public and was the business representative of many important operations.
 MT. Streeten was a man of about 80 years of age and until about one year ago seemed to be in perfect health. He was born in England and came to the United States, where he became an American citizen and entered into i'm portant business matters in California. Reverses sent him north where he re- mained until his death.
 Among Nome citizens James Street en was highly respected and man whose integrity was unquestloned. The funeral services were conducted by the Masonic lodge.

HACKERS ARE KEPT GUESSING
About One of the Most Uncertain
Sporting Events Imaginable Is
Cockroaeh Race.

Russian refugees in Constantlnople
turn their hands to all sorts Of money
making devices. The latest and most
successful are cOckroach races. These
are held in rooms which the Russians
hire along the Grand Rue de Pera'
The story as told by Kenneth Il. hob-
erts in the Saturday Evening Post, Is
that in the center Of each room Is
large table with a miniature race
track built on it. The owner places a
box at one end Of the track and waits
until his patrons have made their bets
on five contestants. Then he opens
the box and dlscloses five enormous
cockroaches attached to dimlnutlVe
sulkies. AS the box is opened four OF
the contestants may start brlskly
around the track, while the fifth may
turn abruptly and canter in the wrong
direction amid heart-breaking groans
from those who are backing his colors.
Then the leader Of the four racers VINO
are headed in the right direction may
stop short and twiddle his feelers pen
sively, and the other three may also
stop and cluster around him to inves-
tigate the cause of the delay. While
the conference is in progress the cock
roach that started the wrong way may
change his mind turn and come dash
ing past the four idlers with his eyes
flashing and his tail up. Then the four
idlers may recover from their mo-
mentary ennul, start brlskly up the
track again and pass the fifth contest
ant, who has probably fallen into a
brown study and leaned up against
the race-track wall with crossed legs
and weakly waving feelers. And so 1t
goes. until one Of the cockroaches final
ly pulls himself together and scuttles
across the finish line.

reason he was so cross at Mr.. Fox,

He recognized Mr.. Fox at once and
grabbed him bg hind leg, which
brought him out of the doorway so
quickly that Mr.. Coon could never be
sure how Mr.. Fox looked when he
saw who had him.
They got so mixed up that Mr. Coon
couldn't tell them apart but Mr.. Fox
managed to free himself and of he
