TWO DIE
White Man and Jap Drown
Near Wrangfll
Juneau, Nov. 16? The Juneau lie
cord-Miner says:
"Two young men, one named Powell
and the other a Jananese,were drowned
in Wrangell narrows last Sunday un
der peculiar circumstances. They were
part of a crew of a gasoline launch that
had come to W rangell from one of the
canneries for supplies. As a small boat
for the launch thev had a canvas craft
and in this they and one other man
pulled ashore.
"Upon attempting to return to the
launch the canvas boat lurched enough
to take in some water over the gun
wale. To right the cranny craft the
occupants leaned the other way and the
boat went over so far so bs to throw all
into the water.
One man succeeded in swimming to
the launch, but Powell and the Jap
vere drowued. Both bodies were re
covered and their positions showed that
each man was overcome by cramp? In
the cold water."

In Tima of Paaca
In the first month-! of the Russia

early advantage of those who, so to
speak, "have shingled their roof in dry j
weather." The virtue of preparation j
lias made historv and given to us our
greatest men. The individual ns well j
as the nation should be prepared for
aov emergency. Are you prepared to
successfully combat the first cold you
take ? A cold can be cured much more |
quickly when treated as soon as it has
been contracted and before it has be
come settled in the system. Chamber
