P. Mec- | Lennan sailed into Dawson October 31| amid the unbroken mass of running ice | and completed the most rapid and sen- | sational runs ever made from White | Horse to Dawson in a craft without steam. The Mayor came in a house- boat and brought with him two brides and their chosen mates, and others swelling the number in the party to sixteen. The run was made from White Horse in five days. Considering the fact that | the last three days of the runm, from Selkirk down, was made amid masses of running ice the time and the success of the craft are remarkable. The scow | ran day and night and was not aground, once. Numerous steamboats and scows were passed hard aground at different places because of low water. The scow was covered and in- closed in true houseboat style and| manned by six sturdy men engaged especially for the trip. | The term “co-operative craft” might be appropriately applied in reference to the scow. It was bought and outfitted at White Horse by ten men, including the Mayor. The interior was su;\plied‘ with bunks, mattresses, tables, stoves and other living accommodations. The | craft was escorted from White Horse | to the Yukon crossing by the steamer | Casca, and from the crossing made the run to Dawson alone. | One of the newly married couples was Mr. and Mrs. Van Curren of Los | Angeles. Van Curren will engage in| | business in Dawson. Mr. and Mrs. | !Lamb of Sulphur were the other newl | wedded people. | —_—————— | NAVY WANTS THE LAND FOR TRAINING STATION Quarantine at San Diego to Be Moved | to Another Lo- | cality. ‘ SAN DIEGO, Nov. 2L.—A dispatch | | from Washington states that Senator | Perkins has prepared and will soon in- | troduce a bill to move the quaruntlne} station from {ts present location on ground wanted by the Navy Depart- | ment to a new site near the jetty and outside the harbor entrance. The bill | carries an appropriation of $50,000. The purpose is to get quarantine away so that the Navy Department can have plenty of room for the training sta- | tion which will be located here and for the establishment of which $200,000 has been laid aside out of the naval appro- priation bill Some years ago, before the Navy Dc-‘ partment thought it would want or need a coaling station here, the depart- ment transferred the present quaran- tine site, together with 612 acres ad- ditional, to the Treasury Department, and now finds that it is the most exact portion that a training station cannot get along without. When the bill is| passed the Navy Department will have a half-mile of water front just north of the military reservation on the point. | —_————————— | JURY FINDS A VERDICT OF SECOND DEGREE.

Torres’ coming was made a gala day in Hermosillo and the old leader of the Yaqui wars was wildly cheered while being driven from the station to the Governor’s palace, where a grand re- ception was held in his honor and he was welecomed by the Governors of So- nora and Sinaloa and by all of the not- ables in the capital.
