Steamship Thistle
Sinks Lake Lobarge
During Heavy Blow
The steamer Thistle which left
Whitehorse last month, capsized
in a terrific windstorm in the mid
dle of Lake Laberge and sank. She
had a full cargo of freight and was
towing a barge carrying additional
40 tons of freight. Detail are lack
ing, but a report from Captain Ed
wards states that, after being wind
bound at the head of the lake for
24 hours, he attempted to cross the
lake.When, half-way across the
lake the wind came up with renew
ed energy and the barge broke a
way from the steamer. While mak
ing fast to the barge again the ves
sel quartered on a big wave and
the hog chains snapped and the
steamer broke in two and disap
peared, followed by an explosion
of the boiler. At the first sign of
real danger the crew of about 12
men scrambled to safety on the
barge.

! CITY LIABLE TO BE CUT OFF TO
; NORTH UNLESS ARRANGE
MENTS MADE SOON
As the pile-driver marches down
Lowell Creek with an accompani
ment of mighty blows, the workmen
are following with the great string
ers that mean the base of the Low
ell Creek flood control flume, now
beginning to take definite shape
under the efforts of the Warrack
Construction Co., of Seattle to
which has been assigned the task
of saving Seward from future men
ace in the way of tearing waters
from Glacier Canyon which threat
ened destruction in 1917 and almost
staged a come-back two months
ago. With propitious weather con
ditions the work has been progress
ing rapidly and it wiil not be long
now before the bridge problem will
be brought up for direct solution.
This matter involves the Fourth
Avenue bridge which must neces
sarily be removed while the pile
driver goes thru on its way to the
waterfront.
Frequent inquiries have been
made to ascertain what, if any
thing, is to be done 1o provide com
nunication between the two por
tions of the city during the time
that the Fourth Avenue bridge is
out, since there seems to be no def
i.iite plan as to the Third Avenue
structure which was taken com
pletely out by the flood. Unless
some plans are made, in this ve
st'd, it appears possible that the
city may be divided against itself
while the Fourth Avenue bridge is
j being taicen out and put back again
jand in the meantime automobiles
c ould not enter or leave the city.
It seems to be a matter largely
up to the Alaska Road Commission,i
but James Truitt, engineer of the
Commission, consultant on the \
Lowell Creek job had not been ap
prised of what action was to be

taken.
I J. B. Warrack, of the Warrack
Construction Co., in general charge
of the work has offered the sugges
tion that w’hile the company’s gas
I shovel is still here it would be a
comparatively easy matter to move
jthe shovel to the Third Avenue
| bridge site and prepare the em
I bankments at the approaches, so
i that at least a temporary bridge
could be thrown across the creek
after the pile driving operation had
proceeded down stream below that
point- and before it got to Fourth
Avenue. Mayor Ray declared that
he had learned nothing definite on
the subject, but as he has pointed
out at sessions of the Council, the
! bridge question is a real and tangi
ble proposition and that as long as
jthe city of Seward must have the
| oridges the city might as well ac- j
j cept the problem and put in per
j manent bridges that would settle
j the question for a long time to
' come.
In the meantime the gas shovel
is down near the mouth of the
creek continuing the great ditch
down which the flume will come
and the Alaska Railroad has moved
in its pile-driver to prepare the
right-of-way where the flume goes
thru. The work of the gas shovel
\ ill be completed in a few days,!
and if it is not utilized for the,
bridge work, as suggested, it will
doubtless go aboard ship and be
sent back to Seattle.

BEAR LIKE CATTLE
Confirming recent telegraphic re
ports from Seward relative to the
depredations made on the live
stock on Kodiak island by brown
bears, a letter was received by Gov
ernor George Parks at Juneau
from Dr. George D. Bishop, U. S.
veterinary inspector, saying 19
head of cattle had been killed out
of one herd and 265 sheep on an
other ranch. The situation was
such, he declared, that ome steps
must be taken at once to protect
the livestock industry n the island.
