lake on the 22nd for Dawson with
three scows in charge, had very bad

winds and contended with shallow
water, grounding on numerous bars

was not, it Is said eminently sea
worthy. The sheep lost were owned
by the Pacific Cold Storage company
and were being shipped to Dawson
by the company's representative,

lower end of the lake the same day
eh the Pauline, the White Seal, and
Tana, both bound for Fairbanks, had
no trouble in getting through, the
former having readied I>awson, left
for down river and passed Eagle by
Wednesday evening. The Tana Is al

experienced no diffuculty in reaching
I awson other than having to wait a
few hours for an ice Jam to move
at Heligale. The Victorian took on a
big lot of stock at Yukon Crossing.
The river is now open from the
foot of Lake LeBargo clear through
to lower river points. The lake is
