T, June 10.—Yukon residents sighed with relief today as rivers and streams began dropping. Reports from the outlying districts state the worst flood danger is past. Mayo is believed to have been the hardest hit. It is reported the upper reaches of the Stewart River have dropped 12 feet and the situation is much relieved. It is also believed it will be possible to save the roadhouse at the mouth of the Stewart which was undermined. The Administration Building and Police Barracks in Dawson are how- ever, still surrounded by water. During the flood sidewalks and other movable objects began to float. Automobiles were stalled in the streets. The water surged down Fifth Avenue, one of the main streets of Dawson and the section between First Avenue and the waterfront and back of Harper Street is still flood- ed. | RICHARDSON HIGHWAY 1S NOW FLOODED Bridges and Fills Reported| Washed Qut—Motor- | ists Are Warned ; | FAIRBANKS, Alaska, June 10.— The Richardson Highway near here is severed.

GAME There will be another ten-day| open season on deer in the Prince William Sound area during which time one buck deer may be taken under special permit issued by the local game warden. The use of any part of a deer or other game animals for crab bait is specifically prohibited. For the first time since the in- ception of the Alaska Game Law in 1925 a Resident Hunting License, the fee for which is $1.00, has been placed in effect throughout Alaska. This requirement has proven of so much value during the past year, in protecting Southeastern Alaska's wildlife from indiscriminate shoot- ing by nonresidents and aliens by providing a means of checking in the field that the extension of its provisions to include the remain- der of the Territory was strongly urged.

Representative Bertrand H. Snell, |of New York, on assuming the du- ties of permanent chairman of the Republican National Convention to- day warned Republicans against the “dead store of meaningless political phrases and empty promises and to do that would mean defeat in No- vember.” Rallies Delegates The Chairman rallied the dele- | gates by declaring they must get | together in a “crusade and restore to the American people their con- stitution, their liberties against the | unconstitutional Dictatorship—yes— | the arrogant individualism of Presi- | dent Roosevelt.” Sop to Democrats Representative Snell, who is mi- nority leader in the House, appealed for Party solidarity as he did in the |same role four years ago, inviting support of the anti-New Deal Dem- {ocrats. He also intimated to the | Democrats that they could expect | Cabinet representation if the Re- publicans win in November. Snell, as chairman, will preside at the actual balloting on nomina= tions. ! His plea for Party solidarity rec- ognized the tense situation existing between the Landon-Borah forces. LANDON-BORAH FORCES TRYING FOR AGREEMENT Promises MaAdAe_ to Idaho Senator—One Develop- ment Is Electrifying | | | i | | CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 10. — The third session of the Republican National Convention opened today with the assembling of the delegates to hear permanent Chairman, Rep- | resentative Bertrand Snell, of New York, attack the New Deal but the session was largely overshadowed in | efforts of reapprochment of the Landon-Borah forces. Listless Convention { The Landon forces have assured Senator Borah he will have a | eHance to present his own platform planks to the platform committee and then uphold them before the convention himself if they are re- jected. This development electri- fied the hitherto listless convention because of the Party's cleft over the monetary, monopoly and for- | eign relations policies. Slow in Gathering The delegates were again slow in gathering for the session this fore- noen The Platform Committee labored until 2 o'clock this morning and the | Credentials Committee kept at work | until 6 o'clock this morning. At a caucus of the Pennsylvania delegation, 50 of its 70 votes were pledged to Landon. The election of the permanent officers, delivery of permanent chairman Snell's speech was the Jonly business transacted at the short session today on account of reports of lesser committees. - BARR OF FOR ATLIN | The North Canada Air Express plane flown by Pilot L.
