GLACIER BREAKS CAUSES
FLOOD L\ KNIK FLATS
(Continued from page 1)
gave way, and huge volumes of
water came tearing down the mpun,
taiu side, swelling the water of
Knlk river until the whole country
tributary to the mouth of the river
was submerged, drowning nearly all
of the Indians camped iu the flat
below. Since that time the Indians
have Kept an eye on the glaicier, ex
pecting that at any time another
breat would occur. But until this
year, as far as it can. be learned,
the glacier has held the waters of
the lake and no floods of any con
sequence have occurred.
About two weeks ago an Indian
came down from the lake and im
mediately warned those living in
the neighborhood of old Knlk to
leave the flat, as the glacier was
expected to break at any moment
and cause much damage. The peo
ple living ^n that vicinity, having
heard before an account of the_dan
ger, stood not on the order of going
but "got." And none too soon,
for on Sunday morning, it is 're
ported the side of the glacier gave
way and oceans of water came
sweeping down into the valley be
low.
The flood was not nearly so
great as reported to have been be
fore, but severe enough, however,
to wash away a number of piles,
said to have been ready to put in
the railroad bridge and had the
people not taken the advice of the
Indian many lives would probably
have been lost. As it is, no par
ticular damage was done.
Several men who have been up to
this lake state that further trouble
from this source can be averted by
simply shooing out a portion of
this glacier, which probably will be
done before there is danger of an
other break.—Anchorage Pioneer.

Mr. Safronl-MlddJeton. In "Sailor and

sea. and up at the stars. He was very
friendly with all the sailors, went into
the fo'e'stle, talked to the crew and
was greatly Interested i:i ship life."
In anotiier place he sr.ys;
"If I had seen and spoken to "It. L.
S.' without knowing who he was I
should have thought he was a skipper
or mate of some American or English
ship. His manner was easy—In fact,
almost rollicking ut times."

Fern Dust.
We tljtoed thtviuh the forest
One bright mlcUummer night.
And there wc found n clearing
Aglow with fairy l'~'.it.
We spied n little elf man.
With n ti'-y, shiny pail.
And he was singing "Fern lust,
Fern dust for *ale:"
He solo ua each a patlful
To sprinkle In our shoe.
We paid him for It, gladly.
With a bunch of mradow me.
And then we heard a rustling,
A whispering tn the breeze.
And the laujhter of the fairies
Who danced beneath the trees.
We pltter pattered homeward.
And my, but we felt queer!
For not a soul could see us
And not a soul could hear,
As, fairy-like, we tripped It,
And scarcely touched the ground—
The magic fern dust hid us
And stilled the smallest sound.
But when we woke next morning.
The fern dust all had gone;
Had vanished with the fairies
In the misty light of dawn.
But we shall find that elf man
With his tiny, shiny pail.
For we'll hear him singing, "Fern dust.
Fern dust for sale!"
—St Nicholas.

means for a fair trial. Both of

were prepared should the graiul

well known in Dawson. In prepar

was suspected at first of murdering
was found dead December 26 last
in the Chisana, with several bullet
holes in his body. He was a pion
