TO ACTIVITIES!
On Saturday evening's train there
arrived la Skagyvay 53 soldiers from
the U. S. regular army Mho are en
route to various military posts in
tho states.
The men are in CQnimand of Sgt.
Larson ol the 14th Regiment, U. j
J3, Infantry and the command con
sists of five men from the Sigual |
corps, 3 from the Quartermasters
department four from the Medical
cal department and 41 privates froinj
the 14th Regiment.
Most of these men have been
stationed jn tho interior of Alaska |
for the past three years, and will
report at either Fort Lawton
Vancouver barracks. They were I
headquarters at Fort Gibbon, and
from there jvorked out along the
line, details being stationed at «»ch
radio and land telegraph station'
from Taaiana to Nulato.
The members of the Signal corps
will report toFort Lawton, a» will
also the Medical corps. The mem
bers of the Quartermaster's de- I
Dartment will go to the Preside© ali!
San Francisco, and the infantry to j
Vancouver.
The officers of the party arq 1
Sergt. Larson, of the 14th Infantry.
Q. M. Sergt. Goddard,, 1st Class
Prt. Bridgewater and Sergt. Yeat
man of the Medical department.
The contingent left Fort Gibbon
on Sept. 27, while some of those
from more remote poiufs left as
early as Sept. 20th for the trip.
In spaking of their three years
sojourn in the north all the boys
have Interesting report's to make,
but, with not one exception, they
are anxious to gst nearer to activi
ties, where they can put into real
use their years of hard training, and
show their Uncle Samuel that they
are ready and anxious to go forth
and fight the nation's enemy to a
finish.
The dirrerence in ure UCUlC»uu<
of the boys today and a few years
past Is quite noticeable. Today they
are grim and determined men,
upon whom their country looks for
protection against a great foe, A
few years ago they wer«j filled with
the idea that they were on their
way to Alaska, the land of gold,
where they were to spend a holi
day and were happy and care-free.
Such men as these, who have brav
ed the rigors of the fierce north
ern winter® are the men who will
carry success to the American stand
ard, and if bets were being made
on the outcome of the impending
game with the Kaiser's teams,
it would be safe to bet that our
bojts would bring home tlie pen
ant, and held in the beak of the
little old Gold Eagle that usually
surmounts staffs to which an Am
erican pennant is attached would
bo a few grey hairs, all that r©
maiued of Kaiser Bill's scalp.
ENGINEER LEADING GOLD
MINE OF THE WORLD
J. L. Harper and J. E. McFar
land have returned from a trip to
the Engineer mine on Taku Arm.
Both of these men state that the
Engineer will become the leading
gold mine of the world, and that
the systematic development done
by Capt. Jas. Alexander, the own
er, has shown wonderful results.
High grade material it shown to be
in place on all lower levels ex
tended from the shaft on the "E"
vein and its bottom at 230 feet is
in free gold ore. Two newly pros
pected veins farther up the hill
disclose much free gold on the sur
face.—Whitehorse Star.

DAWSON MAN
ENDS LIFE
P. J. Poulin, who left Dawson
Friday on the steamer Whitehorse,
for the South, jumped overboard
yesterday from the steamer, and wa
drowned, says the Dawson News of
Oct. 5. It is believed that he be
came temporarily demented, and,
in a fit of despondency, decided to
end his life.
Messages received by wire from
Big Salmon state that the man
jumped overboard while near there.
Others aboard the boat saw him
make the fatal plunge. The alarm
was given, and ropes and life buoys
were thrown him, but without avail.
No trace has been fouud of the
body. It is believed the body
may not be found for a long time,
as the river is now quite chilly and
bodies do not form sufficient gases
to rise in cold water.
On leaving Dawson Poulin an
nounced that he was going to Seat
tle to enlist with the Nineteenth
United States Infantry, a regiment J
in which he saw service In the
Spanish-American and the Philip
pine wars. He was a man of mid
dle age, and apparently in the beat
of physical condition and enjoying
life when be left here He had been
in the North fourteen years. Three
years were 6pent in the Chlsina
camp, after which he returned to
Dawson and mined near here.
He had $1,165 on deposit with
the purser of the Wbltehorse.

the disaster is (supposed to have
occurred nothing had been | seen,
not even a piece of wreckage. Some
fishermen arriving last night re

Sunday south of Grand Island and

that the launch and men, Captain

tala, are'still safe. Searching par
ties are still out in launches and
every effort will Ibe made to find
the derelicts if they are still liv

THESE BOOTS CAN T
SPRING ALEAK
HEY'RE "HIPRESS"
Boots, made all in one piece
—soles and uppers—without a
seam to work loose. That's one
reason why they're so different from
the ordinary hoot, the sole and
upper of which are stuck together
by hand.
"HIPRESS" Boots are made out of
such tough stock—actually the same that
goes into Goodrich Tires — that they
outwear any other boot made. And
they're the foot-easiest boot you ever
wore. 40,000 dealers.
