the fighting of the past few

der to shoulder with the 'troops
of Britian and France. In ad
dition to the two places men
tioned above, heavy fighting
occurred at Veurne also, here,
too, the results being against
the Germans. Thus it will be

longe has been stopped, ano
their line is now threatened a
long (lie Lys river.

CUTS OUT PORT SIMPSON
The Princess May surprised
is all by arriving in port last
night at seven o’clock, and an
nqttiry as lo the reason for
her early arrival brought forth
the fact that she had omitted
her customary call at Pori
Simpson, and would not, call in
'here until further notice, that
place being served in Ihe future
by local boats out of Prince
Rupert only. The May had five
oassengers for Ketchikan. The

WHO SWIPED THE DEER
There’s a great mystery go
ing the rounds among local
hunters. It appears that one of
them lost, his bearings recently
and found himself on Duke Isl
and with a deer on his back.
Tie packed it down to the beach
and hung it up while he went
back into the woods again to
see if he~could locate its broth
er, which might be destroying
some of the forest reserve tim
ber on the island. He did. but
behold, when he got back to
the beach the first one had
disappeared, and suspicious
'ooking tracks pointing down to
’he water’s edge were all that
’ndicated where it had gone
He did some sleuthing when he
cot back to town but he can’t
naise any “'holler” because bo
had no right on Duke Island
anyway.

RETURNING FROM
LONG TRIP
On her way back to Seattle
fter a voyage lasting the great
er part of two years, the power
schooner Polar Bear, Capt.
Louis Lane, was in the har
bor today. It will be remember
ed that she was a visitor in the
Ketchikan harbor a year ago
'ast spring, wihen iwith 'a part\
if eastern hunters and moving
picture operators she called in
on her way to the Arctic. The
season of 1013 was so unusual
in the northern seas, that the
vessel was frozen in last fall in
!he open, about thirty miles
west 'of Demarkation Point,
where her crew wintered, the
ship coming through the perils
of the ice pack without damage.
Capt. Lane and several of the
party came out over the ice
mid snow last fall, and spent
Hie winter in the States, the
former returning to the vessel
before the breakup by way of
'Hie Mackenzie River trail. In
spite of the length of time put
in, the voyage has been a most
successful one from the stand
point of trading and whale
hunting, no less than ten “bow
heads" or right \dhales having
been taken, the value of the
bone alone being a small for
tune. The trip down from
Nome, starting about the first
of the month, was made bv
way of the Siberian caost, and
'erriblv stormy weather was en
countered all the way, the ves
sel being compelled to lie-to in
one blow for the greater part
of four days, while a sixty-mile
'alp whistled through her rig
a-ins’. Ketchikan is her first
part of rail after leaving the
'retie. All the members of the
"ew came through the winter
and the hardships of the vov
orre in fine shape, and all are
:n Hm best of health. Aboard
'he hoat in addition to the reg
'dar crew, are one of Capt.
Lane’s whale hunters and his
C£kimo wife and half-breed
'Children, who will get their
first siorht iof the “Onstide”
when they arrive in Seattle.
They will spend the winder in
•he south and return to Nome
p the spring.
