LAUNCH ALERT SINKS
IN 100 FATHOMS
—
The launch Alert, of Ketchikan,
with six men on board, was swamp
ed in Behm canal off Point Alva. The
party were searching for another
party which are ueueved to have been
drowned. The Alert was caught in
a storm and the waves striking her
broadside caused her to list so that
the water poured in through an open
portlight, until the engine stopped.
The only escape for the six men
aboard was by a small .row boat
which the launch was towing.
Capt. Steers, of the Alert, display
ed his heroism hy insisting on the
other five, who were all married
men, taking the row boat when it
was seen that she would swamp with
all six if he entered it. He took a lit
tle flat-bottomed skiff but had no
sooner entereu ,t than it was thrown
into the air by a giant wave, and cap
sized. The other men had great dif
ficulty in rescuing him, but he still
preferred to take his chances in the
water to capsizing the other boat, and
finally struggled ashore. The Alert
sank in one hundred fathoms of wa
ter. The people of Ketchikan pre
sented Captain Steers with a gold
watch fo.r thinking first of the safe
ty of the other members of the party
when he so heroically risked his
own to assure the balance of the par
ty a better chance of getting to shore
in safety.

FUR MARKET 18 A
WHOLE LOT BETTER.
Advices received from the Outside
by telegram state that the condition
of the fur market is vastly improv
ed and that New York is now the fur
market of the United States. The
telegram was from A. A. Fraser, the
I well known fur man. It is stated
that the prices received in the recent
fur sale in New York were in ad
va ice of those received last March.
Marten, silver fox lynx, red fox,
and cross fox were specifically men
tioned as having advanced in price
over the prices last spring.
It is thought that the demand for
fur for the uniforms of the soldiers
who are now fighting in Europe is re
sponsible for the advance in the
prices of fur.—Fairbanks Nev's
Miner.
INDIANS SAY NO WHITE
MAN NEED APPLY.
Indians living in the Juneau na
tive village have protested to Super
intendent Beattie against white men
being allowed to “buy in" in that vi
cinity. The specific complaint was
against a white man who wants to
build a store building on Willoughby
avenue, as a partner of Jake Wil
liams. There was no objection to the
particular white man, except that the
Indians think that the color line
ought to be drawn.
“We are bad enough now,” said
one native woman, “without any
more mixing up.”—Juneau Post.
