At a point below the village where the valley is flatter and the river banks lower the water has flooded the country for a distance of about a quarter of a mile on each side of the river, De- lano said. Freight Submerged A quantity of freight belonging to the Whitewater Taku mine, si miles up the Tulsequah river, which had been unloaded from a river boat on the bank of the Taku river at Tulsequah, had either been re- moved to the mine or was entirely submerged, he reported. Atlin Is Dry Conditions at Atlin, however, are the reverse, Delano reported. A shortage of water in creeks neces- sary for mining operations in the Atlin area is anticipated unless considerable rain falls this summer. The temperature at Atlin was 83 degrees above zero last Tuesday, he said, or three degrees lower than the highest temperature ever re- corded at that point. A quantity of pictures of mining operations in the Atlin district were taken by Delano, who also took a few pictures from the plane of flood conditions at Tulsequah The North Canada Air Express is scheduled to leave Juneau for At- lin at 6 o'clock tcnight.

Upon entering the steam-filled store firemen discov- ered that a steam pipe had broken near a radiator. Some damage to the finish of walls and ceiling re- sulted from exposure to the steam, it is reported. “His death is a great loss to the whole country as well as this state,” concluded the Governor. i Mayor Hilary Howse said: “Joe Byrns was one of the best repre- sentatives the state ever had. We all loved him so.” BANKHEAD ELECTED WASHINGTON, June 4. — The House met briefly today after elect- ing William Bankhead, of Alabama, majority leader, as Speaker.
