ON CAPSIZED
 BOAT RESCUED BY UNALGA

Two men were picked up by the U. s. s. Unalga, recently, says the Ju- neau Empire, when their sail boat capsized near Cape Fanshaw.
 The men were John R. Laane, of Elkhorn, Nevada, and E. P. Wheeler, of New York, both civil engineers. They bought sail boat in Los An geles for the purpose of going to Seward to prospect. They left Grays Harbor, Wn., Aug. 16 for Alaska.
 On September Is, the two men left ketchikan and started up the coast. Near Cape Fenshaw they encounter ed a stiff breeze during which their main sail jibed and became entangled and the boat capsized. They climbed on top of the keel and were sighted by the Unalga at 1915 o'clock on the afternoon of September 27. A surf boat was lowered from the ship and the men picked up. They had been on the upturned boat for two hours when rescued.
 The Unalga tried to tow the sail boat but it was impossible to manage in the choppy sea and it had to be abandoned. The men were brought to Juneau.

YUKON MISSION
 TO BE REBUILT

Nr. N. J. Nickleson, who has been at Fort Yukon during the past year, is a recent arrival in Fairbanks.
 MT. Nickleson is an oldtimer in this district, having been here in the stam- pede days of 1904 and 1905.
 While in Fort Yukon Mr. Nickle- Ison was moving the Hudson Stuck Memorial Hospital. He states that it was a very difficult job, being considered impossible by the resi- dents there. Conditions are very good at Fort Yukon, MT. Nickleson says. Trapping is practically the only occupation there, and game is very plentiful. There are about 50 white people in Fort Yukon now, and $50 natives.
 Since the fire at the fort Mr. INickleson has been asked to rebuild the Mission building He will go to Seattle first, and then probably
 return. He states that the late Arch deacon Sucks collection in the build ling which was burned was invaluable. His library, especially on Alaskan his tory cannot be replaced, and the col lection of Alaskan pictures was very fine.
 The mission building alone is said to have been worth $25,00O. The fire occurred at o'clock, while a
 birthday party was being held. A little boy; who had been in bed re ported the fire. He did not have time to even save his clothes. One of the women had placed $400 in a bu- reau drawer, and the flames spread so rapidly that there was no time Ito secure the money.
 MT. Nickleson floated on a raft from Stevens Village to Rampant, where he was picked up by a gas boat. There was a four days snow storm at Stevens Village on the 24th !of September. Up to the time that
 MT. Nickleson left the village two inches of snow remained on the ground.
 MT. Nickleson is busy renewing old friendships and looking over the town. He expects to leave for the states on Tuesday y.-Fairbanks News Miner.

MANCHURIAN LEADER SENDS ENVOY TO JAPAN IN HOPE

JAPANESE FEELING STRONG
American and British Governments Are Not Neutral, is Claim
 Made by General

TOXIC, Oct. 11.-Colonel Taken Machida, retired Japanese army off, ficer, now in the employ of General Chang Tso-Lin, in Manchuria as mili- tary adviser, arrived in Tokio last week from Mukden, admittedly an inn portant mission, the nature of which was undisclosed.
 Colonel Machida told newspaper men that it would be useless to deny that my visit is politically significant
 The vernacular press today surmis- es that Colonel Machida carries re- quest from General Chang Tso-Lin asking positive aid from Japan in the Manchurian's conquest against the Peking government for control of the central government of China.
 Colonel Machida intends to consult with leaders of the general staff of the Japanese army where sympathy for General Chang and his purpose-is believed to be strong.
 Tie visit of Colonel Machida came after the governments policy in the ChineSe internal situation was con- demn@d today in resolutions passed by the leading opposition party in the diet. The government policy was all so criticised at meeting held under the auspices of the Imperial Reserv- ists' association and East Asiatic un- ion.
 The basis of the censure against the Japanese government was that it was following policy toward China which was adopted by the British and Am erican governments
 At the reselvists' meeting, resolu- tions were passed which said that the American and British governments were supporting the Peking govern ment while protesting nvutrality.

CUNNINGHAM CASE IS
 THROWN OUT OF COURT

The case of the United States vs. Frank Cunningham, to be tried at .Cordova this term, was thrown out 'of court Wednesday by Hon. E. F. Ritchie, judge of the Third division, on writ of demurrer to the indict- ment filed by L. V. Ray, and Dono- hoe & Dimond, attorneys for the de- fendant. Judge Ritchie took the de- murrer under consideration and la ter sustained it. This ends a case which has been long drawn out and promised an exciting legal battle.
 Cunningham and Ike Beal were ar rested in Cordova last March, by Deputy Marshal Cloes of Cordova, and Prohibition officers, Bielgard and Flannigan, after the officers had fir led into the launch several times on which were two women, Cunningham and Beal.
 During the bombardment several bullets came very near the defend |antS and but for miracle they they would have been killed. Examination of the launch disclosed no liquor, all though the officers alleged that quantity had been thrown over dur ing the chase. Graphing, however, failed to bring it to the surface, and the case rested on the testimony of the parties involved.
 It is alleged that under the circum- stances there was little hope for con- viction.
 In another case against Cunning ham for violation of the dry laws the jury disagreed and the case was being retried when the Alaska left Cordova.
