HIGH SCHOOL WINS

At a basketball game staged in the Jesse Lee gym last night the local high school girls team won from the Jesse Lee girls by a wide margin. Many high school rooters watched the plucky ". L. team tight for the ball, but the high school put it thru Stewards hoop often enough to give them lead which it was nearly impossible to equal. While the high school team has had more experience, a little time and practice should de- velop the J. LI- squad into fine team of players hard to equal.

 Cousin Johns just come-very tired, but he'd like little supper when he's had wash" Whereupon Laxton put down his glass and soon took his leave

Whittier, Asst Collector of Customs, who visited there last week on an offi- cial trip to the towns of the Tri- angle Route. The volume of travel seemed to be sustained later this year than in the past, and it was expected the total for the season would be as large if not larger than last years.
 The White Pass & Yukon had an excellent season. Its freight hand lingS are already in excess of the quantity handled in 1928. MT. Whit tier said. It is pleased with the showing of the new river boat Klondike which set new upriver record by handling 325 tons of ore from Mayo to Whitehorse. laf Good Mine Reports Skagway is enthusiastic over the reports of Engineer Dunham, u in charge of the mining development at Inspiration Point. The crew has been crosscutting leads and has been continuously in good pay orc throughout the season. It is ex- pected by this Fall to have de- termined what size the mine will be. A smelter shipment is to be sent out shortly. An aerial tram has been installed across the gulch to the railroad and is in opera tion. The company is now erect ing an assay office and quarters for Engineer Durham.
