PRINCESS ENA
STRIKES ROCK
IN NARROWS
VANCOUVER, B. C., Aug. 6 (by As
sociated Press).—The Canadian Pa
cific steamship Princess Ena struck
Ripple rock, in Seymour narrows, to
day, and is proceeding in a leaking
condition under her own steam to
Plumpers bay.
The salvage ship Tees left here at
noon to render the distressed vessel
assistance. She is said to be in no
danger.
DOUGHBOY CHAUFFEURS
OVERCOME DIFFICULTIES
ON ROADS OF SERBIA
NISH, June 27 (by mail).—Ameri
can doughboy chaffeurs from the
western front have done their bit to
help Serbia. With the same dash
determination they displayed carry
ing up amunition to the 75’s in the
Argonne, they have pushed their
trucks over the so-called “impassable’
roads of Serbia and have brought
thousands of tons of desperately
needed food, clothing and medicines
to starving mountain hamlets and re
mote districts in the interior of Ser
bia.
The scarcity of American chaffeurs
caused the American Red Cross to im
port American truck drivers. Many
were men loaned from the American
army.
The boys worked under very dif
ficult conditions, far from their base.
The road to Uskub runs over the fa
mous Babouna pass, and is tortuous
and steep with innumerable hair-pin
turns. Along its hundred miles from
Monastir it was crowded with can
nons, wagons, ox carts, refugees, etc.
All along the route were cars over
turned and out of commission. Some
times the traffic became snarled into
inextricable tangles and hours passed
before things were straightened out.
AMERICAN SMILE CLUB
TO SPREAD GOOD CHEER
WILL OPERATE ABROAD
LONDON, June 15 (Correspondence
of Associated Press).—Having read
in an American paper of a campaign
launched over there to promote cheer
fulness, a London reporter made a
tour to see if such a campaign would
help this metropolis. “It would do r.o
harm,” was the upshot of his expres
sions.
A superficial investigation in the
city, he writes, “revealed the pres
ence of a surprising number of peo
ple who appeared to be feeling the se
riousness of their position.” The most
r
gloomy looking were restaurant floor
walkers, underground life attendants,
shop assistants, policemen, foreign
waiters, tube gatemen, tram conduc
tors, messengers in government office
theater booking clerks, jewelers, tea
shop waitresses, railway porters and
sentries outside Buckingham palace.
“Not one,” he says, “was observed
to smile. Tea-shop waitresses ap
peared to be suffering from ‘soul
sickness’. Assistants in most shops
(an American department store ex
cepted) appeared to regard the ad
vent of a customer as a flippant in
trusion on their meditations.”
Meetings of cannervmen and fisher
men were held in Ketchikan recently
to decide on the price of fish, and it
was thought for a time that a disa
greement would follow. The follow
ing prices were finally agreed upon:
Cannery boats and gear, 5 and 8 cents
on the ground and 5 1-2 and £
^ cents delivered. Also free oil; pri
vate boats and gear 7 and 10 cents
on the ground and 7 1-2 cents deliv
ered; cohoes and sockeyes, 30 and 35
cents.

Mrs. Frank Washburn, who ran a

and who is now running a mess
house for George Palmer, a grading

animal thru a slit in the back of the
mess tent, and taking a 30-40 carbine
killed the bear the first shot.
