celebrating their birthdays today. The
Judge was born on June 15, 1849, but
Hammie blew in since.
Mrs. Tom Ward reports a most suc
cessful meeting of the Hospital
helpers. A large number of the
ladies were present and some excel
lent worjc was accomplished.
Captain Andrew Grosvold arrived
on the Dora this morning from the
westward. He reports nothing very
new or startling in his home region.
A double “Shiviree” was perpetrat

were suddenly snatched from a heaven
of bliss to a night of horror in which
most of the citizens shared. Each
Benedict came through like a man.
Captain G. F. Swanson reports that
the last trip of the Dora was unevent
ful except that they had lot* of rain,
fog ami gale. Captain Swanson says

THAMES SIGHT SEEING
STEAMERS IN WAR
SERVICE ON TIGRIS
^Special to Gateway by United Press)
LONDON, June S. —American
tourists who in pre-war Jays board
ed fussy little sight seeing, paddle
wheeled steamers almost unJjr the
"Big Ben” tower of parliament
may be surprised to learn that these
steamers arc now doing sterner duty
on the distant Tigris.
Earl) in 11)16 a fleet of small, squat
packets, about one fifth the size of or
ordinary American river packets,
turned their noses down the Thames
for the first time and headed for the
Persian Gulf.
The day was a big event to river
habitues but the general public knew
nothing about it.
Each craft was in command of a
naval officer and crew.
Where tourists once sat on the up
perdeck benches of the diminutive
craft enjoying the scenery of the
Thames, soldiers and war material to
day are making the little boat service
a serious war purpose.

HOW BOOB CREEK
RECEIVED NAHiE
FAIRBANKS.—According to a re
cent letter from an oldtimer of the
Interior, who is now prospecting in
the Tolstoi district in the lnnoko
country, Boob creek obtained its name
in a peculiar way. Regarding this he
says:
“1 put up a little money to send a
man down there to do some prospect
ing. We were fortunate enougft to
find a good prospect and 1 am glad to
| say it has indications of good pay. It
looked like a foolish venture in the
beginning, so foolish, in fact, that we
named it “Boob creek.” At this writ
: ing it looks as though our venture was
anything but a boob stunt.”—News
