 Several Yukon river steamers are pulled upon the river bank here for the winter and we find the Canad- ians very friendly and . hospitsble.
 we went down to the Yukon and White Pass Railroad depot to inquire about our automobile and ran into Ken Honnon, Vice President of the railroad. He is an oldtimer in the Territory and I first met sev- eral years ago when my wife and l were returning from a moose hunt and he happened to be a passenger on the mail boat Eureka. In the mid- dle of one Behm Canals nasty stretches of water we burned out a bearing and drifted about for three days. During that time fried moose steaks and fed the crew and pas sengers.

Is, the day Clouse and Harris left Juneau.
 Pan American made a special flight for this first lap and the fol- lowing crew members are especially thanked by Clouse and Harris for their graciousness and kindness in assisting them in their preparations for the long journey, Pilot Guin, co-Pilot Merle Smith and hostess Virginia Fouts.
 One letter from Clouse said: Tt was but 12 below here at White- horse upon our arrival and it is expected to reach 30 below tonight, but no wind. We will leave White horse Monday or Tuesday morning, and everyone says the Highway is in fire condition, so should exper- fence little difficulty through Can ada.
 We were the cnly passengers Pan American carried on the first lap Of our journey and it was deeply appreciated for their assistance as we can now reach our destination before the deadline."
 Harris picked up the correspon- dence and said: Sunday morning we arrived at the Juneau PAA of- flee and found no flight scheduled for Whitehorse.

CT Disability Pension
Rutes ore increased

Increased rates of compensation
now are being paid to veterans
with service-connected disabilit-
les which were incurred in peace
time service, Veterans Admin
stration announced today.
The increases were authorized
in Public Law 876, which spec
flies that peacetime rates for COM
pensation shall equal 80 per cent
of the comparable rates for war
time service. Under the old law
the peacetime rates averaged a
bout rs per cent of the wartime
rates.
Compensation rates are based
on the percentage of disability
suffered by the veteran, from IL
per cent to total in degree in mul-
tiples of 10, plus additional allow
ances for amputations, blindness
etc. Wartime monthly rates range
from $3.50 for 10 per cent dlsa-
bility to a maximum of $3.50. The
new law raises the peacetime rate
for 10 per cent disability from
S10.35 to $11.04, and the maxi
mum from S270 to 1888, with com
parable increases throughout the
scale.
The increases are being made
automatically and veterans en-
titled to them need not apply o.
write to VA offices.

6OO-0 See Final Softball Games;
Donkey Tilt Provides Much Fun

Largest crowd of the season
more than 600 persons-were on
hand Thursday night for the final
softball games of the season at
Memorial Athletic Field.
Main attraction was a donkey
ball game between the League
All-Stars and the Western Auto
team. BY virtue of being able to
get a donkey all the way around
the bases on two seperate occas-
ions, the Western Auto team was
declared winner by a 20 score.
But the real winners were the
fans, who were well rewarded for
their attendance. The game was
every bit as hilarious as had been
expected as the players strove to
remain on the backs of the stub
born, bucking burros, or tried to
drag the resisting beasts after
them as they chased batted balls.
In the first game of the evening,
the High School took 6-5 victory
from the Grays to finish. This put
the high schoolers in a tie with
Western Auto for first place in
the second round. The High
School took undisputed first place
in the first half of the season.
Normally, there would have
been a play-off game between
High School and Western Auto
but with the season ending so
late it is doubtful that the play
off can be held. AS originally plan
ned this spring, the regular sea-
son was to have ended the first
week of August, to be possibility

Construction a large concrete
block building on N. Maple ST., a.
cross from the Union County gar
age, is nearing completion.
The ice business formerly own
ed by the Ohio Water Service Co.,
was sold to the Union Service
Corp, of Columbus, on May 8,
and since that time no ice has
been made locally. Although ice
has continued to be handled at
the Ohio Water Service Plant on
N.sMain ST., all ice sold has been
made in Bellefontaine and hauled
by truck here, Russell S. Banks,
manager of the Water Co. said.
All ice sales will be moved to
the new building on Maple st. as
soon as it is completed.
80 x % Feet
The new building is a glazed
rock concrete block structure. 1t
covers a floor area 80 feet long
and % feet wide.
The Co. began making ice in
Marysville about As years ago.
At that time the water purifica-
ton plant was already located at
its present site. The ice plant was
then added on to front of the wa
ter works building, where there
had been a grass plot before.
Much of the equipment being
removed now is the same as when
the plant was built, Mr.. Banks
said. The equipment being anti
quated is one of the main reasons
that the business was sold.
The Union Service Corp. of Co.
lumbus owns a chain of ice plants
in Ohio and neighboring states,
Mr.. Banks said. He added that the
Bellefontaine chain where Marys-
ville's ice is now made, is three
times as large as the local plant
was.
