Boyle Tells of
 Seattle BIackoul

Back home in Juneau today were MT. and Mrs. Frank A. Boyle, re- turned after a four week combined business and pleasure trip to Se- attle.
 Boyle, who is Territorial Auditor, declared that despite newspaper &C., counts there was little actual riot ing on Seattle downtown streets during the first blackout of the Puget Sound city week ago. One small group, most of them intoxi- cated and led by panicky sailors wife, performed most of the acts of destruction, he said.
 Boyle also declared that soldiers and sailors, prominent on Seattle streets before the outbreak of war, were conspicuous by their absence the day after the hostilities started, having all been called back to their ships and army. camps.
 The Boyles reported that far from any indication of an evacua- tion of Alaska during wartime, they found a waiting list at steamship offices, attempting to obtain pass age north. Seattle weather, they said, was wet, with rain every day of their stay with the exception of the last five days.

DRILLING
 FOR NICKEL
 |S HALTED
Lack of Wafer Forces Sus. pension of Operations
 on Yakobi Island

A lack of water at higher eleva- tions on Yakobi Island has forced the ut-down of experimental drill ing operations into nickel deposits, it was learned this morning from J. J. East, in charge of a U. s. Bureau of Mines drilling party which has been operating on the island.
 East said that drilling operations would have continued throughout the winter, despite the five feet of snow which now blankets the island, had it not been impossible to ob- tain source of water for operating on the higher attitudes, where two more test holes are to be put down Results of two test holes put down on a lower bench were satisfactory enough to warrant more examina- tion on the higher ground, East pointed out.
 Pack horses used on Yakobi were returned here last night aboard the boat Pelican and another trip of the boat will soon bring here samples of the ore body unearthed by the drills, which will then be sent to Reno, Nevada. for assay.
 East, his assistant Stuart Bjork- lund, and Clerk Robert Wick will sail south on the first available boat, he declared. Wick may not re- turn with the party next May, when drilling is scheduled to be resumed, as he has received orders from the Tucson, Arizona, draft board to re- port for physical examination and may be inducted into military duty upon his arrival there.

Sania Visits
 Rotary Lunch

Santa Claus canvassed the names of 12 young Rotarians today noon at luncheon in Percy's Cafe and found that they had been pretty good boys and girls"
 The visit of old St Nick, regular feature of the annual Christmas party of the Juneau club for young sters of members, was greeted with squeals of joy and an immediate recitation of what the younger gen. eration of Rotary International ex- poets to find under the Christmas tree, come December 25.
 A few of the older boys were also hailed into the court of good be- havior. A misprint on Santa's list showed that Charlie Garter was a good boy in December 1885, but the information was thrown out as im- material Danny Ralston was dis covered to have been a pretty good kid during the past year and his request for a set of skid chains was duely noted on Santa's list. Lu Liston was also declared to have been a dutiful youngster and he immediately asked Santa to bring him a paint brush which would go on painting when Liston wanted to stop and rest.
 For their singing of Jingle Bells" and their talks with Santa, the youngsters were each awarded a stocking full of candy.
