He expected to return on one of the next steamers sailing from Puget Sound. 8 Two snow slides occurred on the Thane road during the previous | night. One was about a mile west of Thane and took out a bridge on the road, carrying it into the Channel. The other was near the tower bend about half way to Thane. R. W. Wiley, General Manager of the Maid of Erin Mine in the Rainy Hollow district toward the interior from Haines, arrived on the Spokane on a brief business trip. | i Enrollment in the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines {at Pairbanks had increased ten-fold since the opening of the institution the previous September, according to Senator-elect John W. Dunn, of Ruby, who had arrived in Juneau on the Northwestern. “It is an institu- |tion in which every Alaskan should take pride,” he said With a big cargo of freight for the Channel and other ports in the vicinity and 18 passengers and three and one-half days mail for Juneau, the Spokane arrived at midnight and left at 9 o'clock in the morning for Skagway and Haines. Theatre attractions included Wallace Reid, Gloria Swanson and Bebe Daniels in “The Affairs of Anatel” at the Coliseum, and Irene Rich, Leatrice Joy, Richard Dix and Louise Lovely in “Poverty of Riches” at Spickett's Palace.
