GREAT CLAIMS MADE
FOR YEW BRITISH PLANE
London.—Great claims are made
on behalf of several new airplanes
about to be tested by the British
Aid Ministry. Among them is a
new type of machine which, it is
predicted will place an entirely new
aspect on the aircraft versus battle
ship controversy. It is known as
the "Curaboo." Fitted with a very
powerful engine it will have a range
it is said, or over a thousand miles
when fully loaded wtih bombs or
torpedoes.
This is a three-seater machine,
and it will' be a most effective wea
pon, when operating in large num
bers, in repelling not oixly invading
aircraft, but sea craft aB well.
When engaged against the latter
the new machine, it is claimed, will
be able to dart down, discharge its
torpedoes at the enemy vessel and
climb out of range of antNa.rcrafl
guns in no time. Its ability to
climb rapidly will enable it to de
stroy quickly any Zeppelin that it
sights, it is credited with a speed
of three miles a minute.
Great secrecy is being observed
about another machine, a four-seal
er known as the "Bisson." which it
is also predicted will do wonders,
it has been specially designed for
landing on and taking off from the
deck of a battleship or aircraft car
rier.

A LONG TIME CANADIAN'
CUSTOM OFFICAL PASSES
OVEK THE GREAT DIVIDE
Word reached Skagway several
days ago that Leo E. Simmons, Col
lector of Customs and Excise at
Whitehorse had passed away in Van
couver, B. C.. December 6., after an
illness extending for more than a
year.
Mr.Simmons had been in the Can
adian Customs service for more than
a quarter of a century, ana has been
in the North for over 20 years.
He was well known throughout
northern British Columbia and the
Yukon, and was well liked by all
who kn$w him.
During his service In the North
he has held positions at Log Cabin,
Carcross and Whitehorse, having
been promoted to the collectorship
at the last mentioned place about
a year ago. He occupied the office at
Crrcross for a number of years.
Mr. Simmons leaves a wife and
three children to mourn his loss, a
daughter and two sons
The'group of young*nieu who have
undertaken the work of furnishing
a skating rink for the general pub
lic of Skagway is to be highly com
mended, and those who appreciate
their efforts should lend the mevery
asistance to the end that their un
dertaking may be successful.
There are times when co-operation
on the part of the public Is especial
ly necessary—say at a time when the
ice has been newly flooded—at such
a time heod should be given to "keep
off" signs, and no person should w.l
, fully do anything that might prove
an injury to the ice. This is the first
year that a rink has been made with
out assistance from the general pub
lic. and it is the least that those who
indulge in the sport of skating can
do. is to work harmoniously with
those having tho care of the ice in
hand.
In this connection it might be well
for the parents of the kiddies to give
them a word oi darning, if the ice
is in good shape, and the weather
continues favorable for skating,
many hours of healthful and invig
orating sport is furnished free to
the kiddies.
Remember the Red Cross drive Is
on in Skagway. Do it now.
