active operations have been conducted.

WIRELESS OPERATORS ARE
BADLY BURNED; CORDOVA
With the cable undergoing one of its
frequent "Interruptions” and with the
Dominion line out of commission, along
comes the exhlllratlng news that the
Cordova wireless Is also "on the bum"
from an explosion followed by Are
which destroyed the operating room
lust night. This puts the entire tele
graph system out of business. The
announcement received by the local
radio this morning states that the
explosion at the Cordova station de
stroyed two days business besides In
juring four men, one of whom is Bald
to be fatally burned. The operating
force are now engaged In Installing an
auxiliary set and hope to continue op
eration this alfernoon. This harrow
ing story does not appeal to the gen
eral reader who cares not whether the
line Is working or not but to the news
paper In this country, It Is a sad, sad
tale indeed. The teelgraph service Is
bad enough at best between “Interrup
tions" that are of most persistent order
coupled with the constant tendency of
messages to get "balled up” in trans
misHlon, but the present blow Is soul
Jarring. As our morning contempor
ary sulcclnently suggests, "Swearing
don’t improve the situation any,” but
we admit that despite the obvious
philosophy one cannot forego an In
clination to “say something naughty."
Telegraphic communication with the
outside was again restored at 8:80

SCHOONER ARCTIC ARRIVES

The schooner Arctic dropped anchor.
In the roadstead last night after
what Captain Prank Whltlam deals
nates as one of the worst trips he huH
ever uncountered on the northern run
Almost from the lime of leaving Nome
the little vessel was beset by heavy
seas and head winds and navigation

De sourth wind she blow too,
And the waves at times were moun
tainous. There were lulls at times
but they were brief and seemed but a
prelude to worse weather as each
change seemed only to make things
worse. On the way up the Arctic
put Into York for the purpose of pick
ing up a loan of tin for ballast on the
return Journey as Captain Whltlam
ligured thul being Ugbt I he little
craft would need something to hold
her down in the event that the storms

is frozen up their already dredges

snow and the weather has been very
cold and stormy for the past week.
The temperature has also been low.
The vessel made no stops on the re
turn Journey after leaving Kotzebue
sound. Captain Whltlam states that
he saw nothing of the Silver Wave on
the return trip. The Arctic brought
down a large list of passengers from
northern points together with the tin
and a small quantity of general freight.
The locnl agent of the vessel states
that the Arctic will depart this even
