atrocious cr.mes, that at no'in

What is needed is a fund avail
able upon demand for the purpose

on the trail of murderers without
a moment's hesitation. Each suc

Juneau, Dec. 15—A big slide oc
curred yesterday afternoon 'about
,2:15 on the top of th« hill, or sum
mit, where the power lino goes'over
tho hill to Carlson Crsek, which(
point Is designated as Camp No.
6. bv the Alaska Gaatiueaul Mining
Company, says the Juucau Dispatch.
The high, power lines of the com
pany cross the hill at this point.
Working at that place at the
time w$re H. D. McClellan * and
Pe*t> Peterson. They were engaged
In operations for the oompany. H
D. McClellaai was caught &ud buried
in about fifteen feet of eno.w. His
companion Peterson, was lucky and
escaped. A rescue gang was im
mediately dispatched! from Sheep
Creek upon learning of the unfor
tunate accident. Th« party was
well equipped and a desperate ef
fort will be made to rescue the en
tombed mam.
Officials ol the company Btateil
lasf uight that there wa»'a proba
bility of the man being located and
that life would not be extinct. A
second crew from Perseverance will
©u* out this moraln, also armed
wi*h. snow shoes, ekies, and pro
visos sufficient to. pToeeoute the
search for the enveloped man until
he Is found.
The region where the accjden* oc
curred is mountainous and the snow
accumulates at times tg'many feet
in deptn. Travel over that section is
hazardous at all times, and es
pecially so during the winter when
when the snow fall ha# been heavy
and continuous.
W. S. Pullen, chief electrician of
the Alaska Gastineou Mining Com
pany, stated last night that it was
l>roblmeatical just what conditions
the rescuing par»£ would run into,
but that a determined effort would
be made to locate McClellan at the
earliest possible moment.
it was $3timat»d'that lully fif
'een foot of snow came down upon
AlcClellan when *he big avalanche
staged and"that despite heroic ef
forts on his part to escape, he was
overtaken by the slide amd buried I
thereunder.

lines of •h.e company in that moun
tainous region are WfiH equipped
with now shoes and skies and
every precaution is taken b> guard
against such accident# as the one
of yesterday.
Andy Anderson, a pioneer mining

PER TO HIS ACTIVITIES
Having started a railroad, built
a town, opened stores and engag
ed in lighterage business, besides
Uav'us a few other irons in the
tire. Uncle Sam, through the Al
askan engineering! commission, has
iuyaded the fourth estate by start
ing an eight-page weekly newspaper,
"The Alaska Railroad Rcord." Co-'
oies ol No. 1, Vol. 1, have reach
ed Seattle, the issue being dated
November 14, with the place of
publication at Anchorage.
Tl o Record iu its first issue
mates its bow as a real newspaper
having several departments out
ride of purely routine Haws deal
in? with construction of the Alas
ka railroad. Among the articles are
the tex' of the employes' compensa
♦iCi> act, a story an the opening of
a Y. M. C. A., an obituary, a col
umn of personals, and one of miss
ing men.

He Is the Beau Brummel of the North
American hawks, among which he la
concede;) to be the hamlsomest as well
as the smallest. He's the sparrow

lie stands around on telegraph poles
disporting a salt and pepper vest, with
a red and black long tailed coat, and
all the other hawks are envious of his
appenratio; and smart toggery.
Few birds eat such a variety of
food as the sparrow hawk, who Is
the true American falcon. Grasshop
pers, crickets, terrestrial beetles and
caterpillars make up more than half
his subsistence, while Held mice, house
mice and shrews cover 25 per cent of
his annual supply. The baiauce of the
food Includes birds, reptiles and spi
ders.
In agricultural di.Uri. ts where new
ground Is being broken the sparrow
hawk becomes quite tame, even alight

Bluecher In the Hospital.
At the time of the Seven Years' war
there was very little knowledge of sur
gery. and the surgeons were often no
more than barbers, inexperienced and
uneducated. They were commonly
known as the "Company of Pain," a
name that fitted them admirably.
Lieutenant Bluecher. afterward the
famous field marshal, says Taegllche
Uundscbau. was wounded In the foot
by a musket ball. At the hospital to
which lie was carried several surgeons
began to probe the wound and cut pro
miscuously in its vicinity. Finally
Bluecher Inquired, lu spite of the pain:
"What sort of tailoring are you trying
to do? The wound Is large enough al
ready, I should think!"
"We're looking for the bullet," an
swered one of the offended surgeons.
"Oh. oh!" cried Bluecher angrily.
"Why didn't you tell me that before?
I have it in ray pocket." And with
that he drew from Ids pocket the bul
let. which lie had extracted from the
wound himself.
When Greek Meets Greek,
The middle aged American who was
having his shoes polished looked down
at the busy Grock lad who was bent
on turning out a good Job.
"Well, young man " lie said, rather
patronizingly. "I suppose you are learn
ing to speak good English. By the
bye, how long have you been in this
country?"
'"Bout one year, meesler," was the
prompt reply. "Von live here some
time, 1 guess?"
"Oh," answered the other vaguely,
with a mysterious smile. "I've been
here over a year."
The young G reek regarded his cus
tomer with suspicion for a moment and
then, appearing to understand that he
was being quizzed, said swiftly, with
a dazzling smile: "Well, uieester, 1 give
you conipllmen'. You speak very good
language for so short while!"—New
