The Sinclair-Sallivan Party
Under the Ice
A Dawson dispatch to the Whitehorse
Star, dated Thursday, says:
"AH doubt of the fate of the Sinclair
Sullivan scow party which left here for
Circle on October 25th was removed
yeaterday when Andy Mersereau, Henry
Isaacs and S. Adams arrived from
Fairbanks. Captain William Moore of
the steamer Lightning, who is winter
ing in a cabin on the bank of the V ukon
near the mouth of I'oal creek, told the
men from Fairbanks who called at his
cabin on the way up the river that he
saw the scow run into an ice jam a short
distance below Coal creek on October
26. h and that one man sot off the scow
and attempted to crawl over the jam.
Moore sajs he ran to his cabin for a
pair of field glasses and that when he
returned the scow and all hands had
i disappeared under the ice."
There were five men in the party? all
well known at Dawson. James Sullivan
who was lost on the scow was well
known in Skagway and Whitehorse.
He was connected with the McDonald.
Trading Company of Dawson, and was
at Skagway some time last spring. He
was about 40 years of age. He came
originally from Wisconsin With Sin
clair he was taking a scowload of goods
to Circle, from which place they ex
pected to freight them overland to
Fairbanks.
B. F. Sinclair the other owner of the
scow who went down and under the ice
to his death, was a well kcown Dawson
builder and contractor, his home being
in south Dawson. In Dawson's good
days he acquired considerable property
in the city. Sinclair was from Ontario
and was about 48 or 50 years of age.
He leaves a wife and five or six small
children.
The names of the other men lost have
not been learned.
IT IS WELL
Holiday Tradt? Has Been
Satisfactory
We are splendidly satisfied with the
holiday trade we hare had thus far.
The people of Skagway are discovering
that our stock of holiday goods is even
better than wc hare claimed for it and
that our prices are on the level. The
result is they are giving us their trade.
This is one of the things for which we
are thankful.
We expect our holiday trade lrom
ihis time forward to improve. We ex
pect that because we have the goods
the people want a. d thoy are finding
it out.
All we ask is that you inspect our
store and our goods and ascertain our
prices before making purchases. We
are satisfied if that is done you will
give us your holiday trade.

The English sen-ants, whether they
prove better when engaged, lire certain
ly franker than American servants In
declaring their weaknesses In adver
tising for employment. The columns
of a I.ondon paper disclose their amia
ble candldness. Ia the Urst advertise
ment the applicant confesses to "drink
a temptation, but not an Inebriate;" the
nest pleads as her recommendation
that she Is "faithful, but plain of
speech a third requires a place where
'manual work Is light," but does not
say of what Intellectual work she Is
capable, while a fourth Is described as
a "dishonest girl of seventeen." Should
the mistress be too hypercritical to en
gigo any of the above attractive serv
ants she has still another opportunity?
perhaps "she will be willing to train
for domestic service a rough coster
Sirl desirous of redeeming character."
Joy.
Joy is one of the greatest germ kill
ers In existence. It Is a positive ra
diant force, irresistible and compelling,
before which all discouragements and
Ills go down in utter defeat. A good
dose of Joy will do more for you than
any tonic or medicine you can name.

Unimportant Man.
