NOT TRUE
No K-port Thar Boa's Aiv
Tied Up
I Thr-re is no foundation in fact for the [
rumor that has been in circulation at ;
Skapjvuy today that the Dolphin and
the Cottage City were tied up at Seat- 1
j tie and will not be here on time. The ]
: report came to Skagway from While- i
j horse, and was to the effect that a tele
) gram had been receivd at Wbitehurse
saying that neither boat had sailed as j
scheduled on account of their inability '
to gel coal.
No such dispatch was received over j
the Dominion win. according to tele
graphic advices from Whitehorse today, I
and no such report was received at
Skagway from Seattle.
So far as anyone knows tbe Dolphin |
and tbe Cottage City will be in Skajj
way tomorrow.
Tbe report probably got started be- 1
cause of the fears that had been ex- j
pressed ?s to possible results of the
| coal famine. The frars wore purely |
speculative.
