STEAMERS PLOW
WAY UP STREAM
AGAINST FLOES
Much to the surprise of everyone
in Xenana, the steamer Alaska has
reached Eagle, on the long voyage
up the Yukon to Whitehorse. The
boat arrived there at eight o’clock
this morning and is plowing steadily
onward through the ice toward Daw
son, 102 miles upstream from Eagle.
The Alaska made the run from
Circle to Eagle, a distance of 175
miles, in 40 hours, and should reach
Dawson early tomorrow morning,
providing ice conditions above Eagle
are no worse than they were below
that point.
The steamers Yukon and Wash
burn. according to the river bulletin
issued this morning, are traveling
close together. Both boats passed
Fort Yukon, upward-bound, up five
o'clock yesterday morning, and
should have reported at Circle this
morning, the distance between the
two points being only 85 miles. It
is possible, however, that some dif
ficulty was experienced in negotiat
ing the flats, which may account for
the slow time being made.
A heavy , run of ice was reported
from Eagle yesterday morning, and
the belief was expressed that it
would be impossible for any boat to
reach that point. It is apparent,
however, that every possible effort
is being made to get the boats up
stream, and it now begins to look
as if they would succeed in reach
ing Dawson, at least.
Were the steamers to be held up
along the river at this time, the
passengers would be marooned for
at least several weeks before they
could continue their journey over
the ice. They would have to wait
for the river to freeze over solidly,
if they proceeded up the Yukon,
and they probably would be com
pelled to wait for snow, should they
decide to mush overland to Fair
banks.
At a late hour this afternoon, it
■ was learned that both the Wash
burn and the Yukon were in sight
at Circle.
CHENA SLOUGH CLOSES;
NAVIGATION AT AN END
I
Advices received from Fairbanks
this afternoon state that the ice
has stopped moving in Chena slough
about half-way between Fairbanks
and Chena, the closing of the
stream having been reported first
from the Hyde ranch,
i The ice was still moving in front
of Fairbanks at one o’clock this aft
ernoon, but very slowly, and it was
expected momentarily that the
' stream would freeze over at that
! point. The slough is full of ice
j along its entire length.

LONDON.—Better public bouse?,
an improved tone for saloons, is the
newly announnced policy of the
British liquor trade.
Rear-Admiral Sir Reginald Hall,
l
a member of parliament, who was
recently elected to the directorate
of one of the leading brewing com
panies of the kingdom, said that
'representatives of all sections of
[the trade had drawn up a bill em
bodying such principles as promo
tion of sobrietv. restriction of
|
drunkenness, reduction of the num
1 ber of licenses where they are ex
i
cessive. and enlargement of prem
ises so as to provide greater op
portunities for social amenities.
“Recreation, including reading
rooms, facilities for writing, music,
and games, should be provided."
'Admiral Hall said. The entrv into
.
the trade of those who would set
(up and maintain a high social star.
'dard should be encouraged to the
| exclusion of those who might bring
discredit on the industry.”
