U. S. IS GIVEN FIRST
PLACE AMONG THE
CARELESS NATIONS
CLEVELAND, Sept. 25. (JP)—The
opening gun in a world wide war
against accidents on the streets, at
home and in workshops will be fired
on Monday morning Sept. 28, when
representatives of more than 30 na
tions will attend the fourteenth an
nual Safety Congress in this city,
where 450 speakers will address 90
separate gatherings which will be
in session until Friday, Oct. 2.
America will be branded as the
most careless nation in the world by
speakers who will point out that
the accident death rate for the Unit
ed States is 76.3 fatalities for each
100,000 population, almost two and
one-third times as high as the rec
ord of England and Wales, which
is only 33.6 for each 100,000 popu
lation. The safest country appears
to be Denmark whose rate is 20 for
each 100,000.
The League of Nations will be rep
resented by Dr. Frederick Ritzman,
of the International Labor Office of
Geneva, Switzerland, who will come
here especially to tell about plans
for accident prevention campaigns'
in other counrties and to obtain data
regarding efforts that are being made
here to conserve lives and limbs and
properties.
What is needed in the United
States reduce the number of lives
lost thru accidents will be dwelt upon
by Judge John Barton Payne, of the
American Red Cross, whose topic
will be “The Nationalization of Ideas
and Ideals.”
How America should mobilize her
peace time forces will be pointed
out by Rear Admiral William S.
I?
Sims, U. S. N., who will speak on
“Safety in the Nation.”
Participating in the Safety Cong
ress will be the National Safety Coun
cil, National Civilization Rehabilita
tion Conference, National Organiza
tion for Public Health Nursing, Am
erican Society of Safety Engineers,
and trade groups representing every
industry in the country.
Returns to the Dominion Fisheries
Department of Vancouver show the
salmon pack in British Columbia, up
to the first of September had not
equalled the preceding year. This
is due to the falling off in pinks
in all districts. The total pack up
to the first of the month was 782,
000 compared to 935,000 last year.
The sockeye catch is nearly 30,000
cases better than last year. Skeena
river and Smith Inlet had heavy
catches and all other districts have
not changed their totals with the
exception of Nass which pack was
cut in half.
Walter Thomas, pioneer of Ketch
ikan, died recently at the Ketchikan
general hospital after a short ill
ness. He had been suffering from
heart failure for some months and
finally suffered such a severe at
tack that it was deemed advisable
to take him to the hospital. He
was 68 years old. He was buried
by the Pioneers and Red Men.

Chulitna Mining Man
To Prospect Nuka Bay
for Next Few Weeks
CHULITNA Alaska, Sept. 19.—Spec
ial correspondent C. A. Frank, the hard
rock miner and prospector, left Chu
litna for Nuka bay, planning to give
the district a thorough “look-see”. Mr.
Frank is an experienced prospector
having followed -the game for fifty or
more years. He has made several
strikes but is still in the field although
he is seventy years of age. His age
is deceptive, however, for he appears
to be on the other side of the fifty
mark. He attributed his good health
and energy to a lifetime spent entire
ly in the mountains and hills.
TELEGRAPH SERVICE
FOR TELEGRAPH CREEK
IS AGAIN ESTABLISHED
PRINCE RUPERT, B. C., Sept —
The telegraph line between Hazel
ton and Telegraph Creek, the link
which temporarily closed to traffic
on March 23rd with the idea that
the business could be handled by
wireless, was reopened for business
recently. Numerous complaints had
come in that the service was too
intermittent and could not be de
pended on, owing to the frequent
presence of static.
Supplies have been sent in for
the linemen at the various stations
and everything is working through
as of old.
The tryout of the wireless system
was in the nature of an experiment,
the business being handled by way
of Edmonton and Fort Simpson,
with a view to effecting economies.
Finding that it was not possi
ble to giye good service that way,
the change back to the old system
has been made, and from this time
on the business will go by wire.
SEEKING GRAVE OF BROTHER
DROWNED IN FALL OF 1899
The Dawson News says:
Among the Dawson visitors arriv
ing on the steamer Whitehorse was
Rev. A. Elwyn Tingley, Ph. D., of
Fairhaven, Massachusetts, who was
accompanied by his wife and
mother-in-law. Rev. Tingley made
the trip to Yukon in search of par
ticulars regarding the death of his
brother, who was drowned in 1899
when the scow on w^hich he and
three others were coming to Dawson
from Bennett as wrecked in Five
Finger rapids. Two of the party
were drowned, the others reaching
shore after a hard struggle. Young
Tingley’s body was found by the N.
W. M. Police two months later and
interred at or near Minto. Rev.
Tingley failed to locate the grave
while at Minto en route to Dawson,
but intended to search further on
his return.
Ed Osplund died suddenly at three
o’clock one morning recently in Ju
neau at the home of J. G. Johnson,
following a short illness from pneu
monia. He was first taken ill with
an apparent cold a little over a week
previous and was suddenly getting
along favorably up to the neght be
fore his death. The deceased was
28 years of age, born in Finland,
April 12, 1897. He is survived by
one brother and one sister who are
living in Oakland, Calif. He is a
member of the Odd Fellows, Rebek
ahs and Eagle’s lodges of Douglas.
He was an employe of the Alaska
Jpneau.
Sewardites who can remember
when it seemed as though every
other man one met in Dawson was
a lawyer, and who can repeat en
ough names of lawyers there all at
one time to fill a book, will be sur
prised to learn that there is only
one lawyer in the Dawson camp to
day, and probably no one here can
name him.

burned and became a total loss three

near which there was a lighted lan
tern, Edlund and Kane left the burn
ing vessel in a small boat a few min
utes before the tank exploded, the
vessel going down about an hour
afterwards. The 'Virgin was a *50
