rived mm of my rain
THREATENED TO FLOOD SKAGIT
At about 4 o'clock yesterday af
ternoon Skagway passed over a most
critical situation, and- for the time
beius Is apparently out of danger.
The heavy rainfall which occurred
la this region for the past 48
hours raised tho Skagway river to
such an extent that it seriously
threatened washing out tho bulkhead
aad wing dams at the north end
of city, and Marshal Page and other
men who spent almost the entire
day watching the rushing waters,
say that had the rain continued for
a few hours longer, the river would
have cut through into the old chan
nel near the Baker ranch, and
have come tnrough north of the
Bledsoe property, the Bank of Al
ke, and on down the valley to the i
Pullen House, Home Power Com-1
pany plant and Royal Laundry.
Ta» river at the point in ques
tion is fully eight feet higher at I
law water stage than !s Broadway j
at the intersection of Sixtn avenue. '
and it is only due to the wing dams j
thai, the river is confined to its
channel. These wing dams, Jlr.
Page stated <o a rePresntative of
this paper, are now in a weakened
condition, and had' some obstruc-'
tirii thrown the west flow of the
river across to the east side, the
water would have cut In behind the
wing dam near the Baker ranch,
and the town would have been »eri
oualy damaged.
F^r a number of years past con
siderable labor and money has been,
expended in river improvements, but
these haye all been of a temporary
nature.
The Skagway river drains an im
mense area, extending up to the
summit of the Whit$ Pass, that
region lying ud the East fork of
the river, and the entire Denver
glaiier valley, end in fact the
entire coast slop© up to the aunimit
of the coast range; therefore It
does not require a great amount
of precipitation to cause a mraked
raise in the stage of water in' tfie
river.
This matter should have the
immediate attention of the City
Council, and1 such steps taken as
would secure government aid in
put'lng in such breakwaters, and
wing dams as would insure the
safety of the town from the ravag
es or the river should it again go
on a rampage.
FOURTH U8ERIY LOAN CAMPAIGN
PUNS ARE IOW PERFECTED
The Fourtu Liberty Loan com
mittee acting with and under the
ausuices of the Skagway Territor
ial Councjl o' Defense held a meet
ing last night at the Bank of Al
aska, at wnich all members were
present with the exception
of Mayor Ashley who is in White
horse.
Plans were 'aid and' all arrange
ments perfected to carry on the
work and on Saturday the 2Sth,
the campaign will be launched1 and
from that time till the close of the
period &lloted to raise the amount
o* this loan October 19th, there
will he no let-uo and the feeling
prevaded- at the meeting that the
amount Skagway is expected to

rais will be more than oversub
scribed.
The committee now consists of
Pr. L. S. Keller, V. I. Hahn C. C;
Co'e of the Defense Council and G.
H. Miller, Dr. W. G. Gable, W. C.
Biamhard, Robert Eville, W. C.
Bunting, James Kennedy, F. J. Van
drv.all, Judge E. A. Rasmusoa G.
Het-s, and Mayor Howard1 Ashley.
Kach one of these gentlemen has
selected the names of those whom
^e will gee as to suDscribing to the
loan and he will select a partner
'o assist him. Every person in.
Ska^A'ay and vicinity will be seen
and given an opportunity to take
eome of the Donds thus helping to
win the war and at the same time
hfiping himself.
There will still be time for you
to liunt up some cue or more pieces
of cast off clothing for the Reel
Cross which is making the drive for
clothing of all knids yvhich is to
he sent over to the destitute peo
ple of Belgium.
Even though Vhe hour has Passed
when you read this, if you will call
un any one of the collection depots,
a person will be sent to your house
for your contribution.
Don't forget that the winters are
cold in Belgium, and that thousands
o' the people there will suffer if
'hey do not receive aid from the
people here.
Stagway has been asked to help.
Skagrvay should' deem this an hon
or to give of its plenty to the needy
o' Belgium.
Would you not be happy in the
thought on some c°'d day this win
ter that some cast off garment of
yours had been remodeled to fit
some little mite of Jaumanity, and
that he or she was warmly
wrapped in the soft folds of some
o'd coat of yours which had become
o* no particular value to you.
Would you not be happy in the
thought that some man or woman,
robbed of all their worldly goods,
and driven from their homes had re
ceived some garment of yourg and
wag able to So out into the cold
without being ashamed to be seen
among his feilow beings.
Give something, even though
you hays to sacrifice. They sacri
ficed all for you.
