with the added strength and resources of the entire institution to draw
upon. Furthermore each is responsible to the Territorial Banking Board*

LAUNCH MAY
BE LOST
(Continued from page l.)
The canal between hero and
Haines does not offer many places
of refuse from storms, but it is
thought 'that the boat and men
are safe and probably hugging some
small shelter among the cliffs of
the canal.
Geo. liapuzzi, in charge of the
launch, is well acquainted with iu
lanj water navigation and the lueu
\\i ■» him are reasoned and experi
ences from a summer of outdoor
work. The lack of food has probablj*
caused some suffering, but aside
froiv tha' the men are thought to
be safe.
Ou the launch are Geo. Rapuzzi,
in command; Britton Weste, Dan
McDougail, A. S. Heydek and Ivan
Erickson. TU«} men are in the em
ploy of T. K. 1'. Keegan, of the
Alaska ltoad Commission, and hail
just finished their work in Skag
way and were 011 their way to
Haines for a few days' work there.
Further word of the missing boat
is expected from the U. S. steamer
l'et' rson at any time.
L \TKli—'Hit) 1'et^son ( arrived j
in jiort t]d» morning at 11:30
o'clock having followed the east
side of llic canal up the entire (list- |
uncc lo Skagway and reported hav- J
ing seen 110 signs of the missing
boat.
A heavy wiiul Ls reported to
hava been blowing in JUaines ami
vicinity iSnturday night and it is
thought the laiuieh probably- got as
far as the Cliilknt inlet and is
some where in that vicinity await in
the quieting of the waters. I
The Peterson this afternoon is
skirting the west banks of the
I.yrui canal in an effort to find
some trace of the missing 1>ont or
of the men.
Maiiy theories ore being advanced
regarding the boat and the reason
for its delay in arrival, but nearly
everyone thinks the staunch little
launch is safe. Among one of the
probable theories is that the ves
sel caught fire in the canal and
was forced to put ashore, and that
the men are somewhere along the
banks now awaiting rescue.
The boat is well built und rests
doei in the water, its nam© is
Star. It is painted white and lias
a low cabin. The ship always car
| ried a large number of life preserv
ers. It has made the trip many
times to Haines and even to Ju
neau ai.d is said to be one of the
' most steady launches in the Skag

I 1| vou, a dratted man, believe
that statistics tell the truth, you
| will feel as safe in France as you
| u»u illy do in tlie street? of New
i York. So says Roger W. Babson,
j the cmlrent statistician, quoted by
•the 1'fl'Uiar Science Monthly. Fur
thermore, he say*. that the man who
is con netted with the heavy field
artillery Is no more likely to be
killed th«n one in the employ of a
railroad.
'However, he does not hold out
such high hopes for the lieutenants,
ser-oants and corporals, the death
rate being very much greater among
officers than among privates. Also,
the tnertiility is higher among
volunteer corps than among draft
ed nic-n. Sixty men per thousand
are i.ow being killed in the war,
and about ouo hundred ftnd fifty
men cut of each thousand are
wounded.
