5lNCIC REACHES ECHO COVE, FOOD DEPLETED;
 LEAVES FOR SkAGWAY

Word has heen received that Paul Sincic. who left June on an over land trek to Skagway, reached Echo Cove on the lower end of Berner's Bay approximately June 27.
 MT. and Mrs. A. H. Paulsen, re- turning to the Allen McMurchie cabin on Echo Cove June 28, found a note left by Sincic written on the top of cracker box. Also left were two postcards. one addressed to Tony Thomas of the Forest Service and the other addressed to an En- pire reporter.
 The Paulsens returned to Juneau July turning the messages over to Gordon Gray. US. Ccmmis- sioner.
 The message written on the cracker box top is as follows: T don't know whom to address this message to. In fact I don't even know the datel Left Juneau on Eth of June for Echo Cove on the trail; but about two miles north Of Yankee Cove Trail cut off I couldn't follow the trail because oi deep snow (about 20 or 30 feet deep in places) so I took off cross country by compass.
 Not having a map of the coun- try, I had to blindly feel my way through this jungle underbrush, going for miles tefore coming to an impossible cliff or river and then having to back track and try another direction. On the 11th, hit a soft snow pocket. falling and wrenching my knee so that I had to split my pack in two and carry one at a time-double packing for about three days = anyway my food is about gone (Been living off porcupine this past week..
 Tony Thomas Forest Service) told me about the three cabins at the Cove-The first two are locked and I waited for several hours for some one to show up here-where hoped to get a little food, but since no one is here, I don't feel right in taking it-I did take the cold hot cakes and cup of Postum though! Thanks Would you please drop these cards in the mail when you send cut your own? Would you put the date on them, please"
 The card addressed to Tony Thomas had basically the same in- formation on it with this additional bit: T think I can still make it to Skagwayl I'm leaving Echo Cove and following beach to first river that seems impossible and follow it to it's source to the gla- ciers end trying to keep above the timterline, and below ice cap"
 On the card addressed to the re- porter, Sincic states that his food is gone.
 Sincic has the worst part of the trail to Skagway ahead of him. Ac- cording to reliable information, the glaciers that he speaks of in the above note are overhanging ones That is, they come down to the edges of cliffs which border on | Berner's Bay.
 Those who know the country feel it is doubtful that Sincic will make it through to his destination.

WE'RE GOING TO MISS YOU.

According to customary newspaper procedure, obituaries
are written in remembrance of the dead, but after the
death has occurred. We are altering the procedure some
what at this time and writing the death notice before the
death occurs. For whom we write we do not know, but
we do know pretty well the circumstances of the death.
Some eager people in search of a good time will throw
away common sense, and with it their lives. In a mad
rush to get to some picnic or fishing spot, to get to the
scene of a family gathering, or to some other place of
celebration, a driver will risk his life, the lives of his
passengers, and the lives of all the people that are near
him on the road. In a desire to save a few seconds, some
careless and discourteous drivers will kill and cripple.
People who have spent the winter and spring confined
to office and stores will go out over the Fourth and try
to get enough swimming and fishing done in one day to
make up for all they have missed. They will end up by
spending the rest of their lives in the water, and by max
ing rather damp corpses.
This continued sacrific of lives in observance of a revo-
luton that took place a long time ago seems rather strange
That the people of the United States should be vitality
aware of the rights and privileges won for them in the
Revolutionary war is quite necessary; however, that they
should make useless sacrifices of themselves is quite I'M
necessary. We do not have gods that require that our
HOLIDAYS be noted with human sacrifices.
It none the less remains the custom of our people to
make this sacrifice, and to those who will offer themselves
up in remembrance of the winning of our independence
we offer this obituary notice. We are sorry to see you
go. Your family will have a hard time getting along
without you, and the void you leave in their lives will be
you have died, but don't expect us to be able to fill
your place completely. The town will miss you too. You
contributed to the general welfare of the community while
you lived here and we will have to find someone else to
take over your functions as a member of the community.
Please do not expect us to close up shop in observance of
your funeral. By your foolish sacrifice you will have
caused us enough trouble.
Now that you have read your obituary notice we bid
you god speed, Pax Obiscum, and hope that you will not
suffer any great agony as you make your foolish sacrifice.
