DANES AUCI10N
FLATS 10 EAGER
HOME H0N1ERS
LONDON.—A shortage of homes
is adding to the woes of residents
of Danish cities. Many brickyards
according to a Dane who has just
returned here from Copenhagen,
have had to close, with the result
that building virtually has ceased
' and flat hunting had developed into
, what might be called flat auctions.
If a flat was advertised for rent
in the papers, probably a hundred
persons would assemble that day
| outside the building. No one was
: admitted to the flat but the care
| taker, when he ttfbught a large
: enough crowd had collected, would
throw open his window and say
| something like this:
i “The rent of this flat, ladies and
gentlemen, is so much a year.
Which of you will pay me most for
arranging matters?”
Then a kind of auction would be
held, and whoever made the largest
bid for the services of th care
taker would secure the flat.
Now the flat famine has developed
: to such an extent that the diligent
flat seeker studies the death an
nouncemnts, proceeds immediately
to the residence and assails the
mourners with questions about their
plans in regard to the flat.
Rev. John A. Davis, formerly
rector of St. Paul's church of Daw
son, has joined the Canadian army
as a chaplain.

WHILE CROSSING
George Noeller and Aik Kadzoff
Lose Their Lives When Scow
Turns Turtle.
The report was recived in town
yesterday afternoon that an acci
dent at the Lost Slough ferry re
sulting in the drowning of two men
had occurred and the officials of
the Alaskan Enginering commission
immediately detached men from the
dragline and Clear creek camps and
sent them to Lost Slough to render
what assistance they could and to
help in the search of the bodies.
On enquiry, it was ascertained
that about 11:30 yesterday morning
a party of seven men started across
Lost Slough at the ferry established
at a point about one hundred yards
distant from where it leaves the
main river and swings in toward
the grade. The scow had been re
cently built by the A. E. C. for the
ferry service across this slough and
was being used for the first time
yesterday, in tact it was it s second
trip since it was launched. The
scow was loaded with the hammer
of Piledriver No. 1. which weighed
about a ton, and a freight wagon.
When about sixty feet from the
north bank of the slough, the ropes
attaching the scow to the cable
stretched across the slough, were
slackened a little to avoid a snag,
and^ in some unaccountable manner
the men on board would appear to
have lost control, and the scow,
swinging broadside on to the swift
current, filled and sank, throwing
the occupants into the stream.
Five of the men managed to
make the bank, but Noeller and
Kadzoff would appear to have been
carried down by the swift current.
Kadzoff was never seen, but J. M.
Burrows, foreman in the employ of
the A. E. C., who was one of the
occupants of the scow, says that he
saw Noeller some distance down
stream, just at he landed, but soon
lost sight of him.
Noeller was well known in Ne
nana, and leaves a wife and young
family, the youngest of whom is
only five months old, to bemoan
his loss. Mrs. Noeller has been in
poor'health for some time past and
the news of the death of her hus
band came as a great shock to her.
Aik Radzo-ff has a brother in
this district, who is now with the
search parities on the banks of
Lost Slough;, and a cousin, Jim
Kozoff. now on the way to St.
Michael with the boys of the draft.
Up to a late hour this afternoon
none of the bodies had been re
covered.
SPOKANE.—“These two flags,” .
those of Canada and the United
States, “will be carried side by side
by Americans and our Canadian |
cousins in an effort to maintain
the world’s peace” said Dr. E. B.
Olmsted, mayor of Spokane.
There was nothing remarkable in j
that declaration, in view of existing
conditions, except the fact that it
was made nineteen years ago.
Dr. Olmsted was mayor of Spok
ane back in 1899, and in that capac- |
ity he made an official trip to Ross
land, B. C. to attend a midwinter
carnival there. While on that visit
Dr. Olmsted was asked to reply to
an address of welcome, and in so
doing he made reference to the
Union Jack, which he had borne in
a parade and the Stars and Stripes
which had been carried by Mayor
Goodeve, of Rossland.
j The Juneau tax levy for the cur
rent year has been fixed at 15 mills,
one mill less than the levy of last
year. Taxes for the year 1918
will not become delinquent until

HUN CAMOUFLAGE
i WELL DEVELOPED
LONDON'.—A British air officer
writing from the Western front,
says that the Germans have this |
spring brought camouflage to a
state of artistic perfection that is |
almost incredible. “The most ex- j
pert and highly experienced air- j
men are often deceived even when ;
flying low,” he writes. “As a first i
step, the German military authori-'
ties sought suggestions from the |
most distinguished German artists .
in color. As the next step, every;
available man was turned on to;
the business of carrying out the
artists’ idea.
"Miles of canvas painted to look
like roads were constructed, under
which regiments could march with
i out being seen. Paper encamp
ments were improvised, and aero
■ dromes, woods, villages and fac- j
: tories of a purely fictitious char
• acter were set up merely to dis- j
i tract observers and to cover the
t movements of troops and guns. !
I Nothing on so vast a scale has
- even been attempted before.”
