The Hush At the Radio Show.

There has been a quietness and
hush about the Radio Show that
Is almost uncanny. Even on the
opening night the crowd of 10000
persons gave display of silence
that was remarkable.
Somehow this quietude seemed
inappropriate to show-especially

offs of the different sets here. In
general, it was a wise policy.
But now for the remaining nights
OF the exhibition, we believe a
little noise will be interesting-as
we'll as the demonstrations.

 CAMP, CANES CREEK

The destruction of tent by fire at the c. & A. camp, Canes creek, a few mornings ago, was reported by c. w.. Glass, who arrived here this week, says the Kusko Times. The tent was occupied by A. Lehreaux, Bert Stew art and Gus Rosen. Following their breakfast, and just before leaving, MT. Stewart had taken the precaution to sprinkle water in front and around the stove, the fire in which was very low when they left. Looking toward the tent few minutes after leaving, MT. Stewart observed smoke emerging. Just as he arrived at the tent door, there was sudden outburst of flames which enveloped the whole structure and gave not the slightest opportun- ity to save anything within. MT. Lehreaux lost about $50 in cash, a highly prized new watch, and valuable personal effects contained 21 valise. MT. Stewart lost about $40 cash, his watch, as we'll as some highly treas ured personal effects. MT. Rosen also lost sum of money.

INDIAN BOY HAS
 BAD EXPERIENCE
 IN KUSKO WILDS

Living in tent on the shores of the Kuskokwim river for thirteen days with great hole in his leg, the re- suit of the accidental discharge of a shotgun at close range, was the ex- perience of an Indian boy twelve years of age who arrived recently at Bethel, where the injured leg was am putated just above the ankle by Dr. Firestone, formerly in charge of the Bureau of Education hospital at Ak iak.
 Mrs. Heron, widow of the late dep- uty marshal at Bethel, who was a nurse before her marriage, took the youth in charge after the operation, remained with him through the long watches while life hung by a slender cord Infection had set in before the boy reached the doctor but it is thot now his life can be saved.
 The delay in reaching Bethel was due to the fact that the accident oc- cured shortly before the breakup and 1t was impossible to carry the lad overland, or move him down to Beth el by boat, the river being filled with ce. When he finally reached the set -ement, the leg was in a terrible con- lition. The shot almost took the 'oot off.-Anchorage Alaskan.

DANCE GIVEN BY
 HAIDA WAS SUCCESS

The dance given by the officers and men of the U. s. Coast Guard Gutter Haida, was one of the most success full held in Seward.
 A great deal of energy and talent was given to the decoration of the A. B. Hall; festoons of greens inter- mingled with the international signal flags covered the ceiling and walls of the building, the stage being framed with green boughs, with a beautiful American flag as a background. The music was fine, and very much en- joyed, as was the singing by the men from the cutter.
 A feature of the evening was the prize Polka" being deservedly award ed to Mrs. Peterson and one of the men of the cutter.
 Commenting on the Haida, by the people of Seward, Lieut.. Baker, speak ing for the officers and men of the Haida, said that they were very grate- full for the pleasant time extended them; and especially thankful to the Seward Chamber of Commerce for it's assistance in publicity, and finan- cially in making the dance a success, and that they hoped they could soon return, and express themselves in a better manner.
 It is needless to say that Seward never entertained nor was entertained by finer body of officers and men than those of the Haida, and the wish of everyone was that they return soon, and remain longer.
