Several *kate* of gear were lout <'U the trip on account of the Rtorrns. Joy Riding M. J. O'Connor, former mayor and prominent merchant of Dpuglas, who ih now In buKlnes* at Hellliigham. Wash.. recently bought a new car i and on a trial trip with the machine took hit old friend William Stub bills. pioneer of Douglas and now Washington rancher, out for a voy age. After M. J. atevrcd the ear over an embankment and Bill re ceived three broken ribs In the mix up. Hill declared he was through with Joy riding. O'Connor while 1n Douglas owned and operated a fast gas boat called the Celtic and considered himself an excellent navigator of ga* pro pelled vehicles. He could rover more miles on a few gallons of ga* md a sack full of raisin buns than any sea-going person lu this vicin ity. He had a habit, however, ac I cording to report, of turning points before he came to them, hitting Ice bergs and cutting other capers while at the wheel of his vessel thnt were, to say the least, quite Inconvenient. It is more than probabls that he lias some of his same habita with an automobile and that beside* scorn ing speed limit* he trios cutting crosa lot*. Jumping fence* and other fancy *tuut?; and It I* likely that while engaged III one of theae pas times he broke Stubblns' rib*. If It were a doxen years ago the accident could have been laid to hut one cause, but with that cau*e now removed *lnco the dry wave ha* bit the country, all it can be called i* reckless navigating. Knowing Mike as he did. we won der that Bill Stubbin* would tru*t himself aboard a craft operated by ihe former, and although ivmpathix ing with him on account of the Droken rib*, we cannot help think ing that Bill should have known Distillate Scarce The time In growing ahort now lu whlrh Kan boats can serure dlatlllale for fuel. An endeavor It being made neau to empty the, tanks o f distil late no that a shipment of gasoline expert I'd on March 1 ran be put In plarc of It. aa no more distillate la lo be on the market here In the fu ture. Many large flahlng vessels that in the past took on their fuel In Seattle or Ketchikan have been calling at Juneau the past several months to All their tanka and the supply now on hand is almoat exhausted. Juneau la one of the last plarea on the eoaat where It has been poa tible to obtain distillate, all points muth of here having been out of It for some time and plarea in Wash ington had none laat season. The Standard Oil Company continued selling It In the North on account of the Ashing business, which would !iave suffered had the sale of dis tillate been com I nurd laat year af ter rontracta had been made for de liveries of flah at c?rtaln price*. Not many of the gas boat fleet have made preparations for the change to the more expensive fuel; in fact, no change li neceaaary, but it waa thought that with the length of warning given, some of them at least were going to experiment with HUSBAND'S STORY WILL AMAZE DOUGLAS He aays: "Adler-l-ka helped my wife for gas on the atomach and I'TES.

The robbers took a act of batter Ira from tho ferry boat Teddy, con nected tlieni up all right and started the enj(U>c. but after they not start ed. Instead of throwing the belt on the 'flywheel and lettlnjc the engine run on the maKneto, they had the boat running on the batterlea all tha time they were out. The batterlea gradually kept getting weaker and finally the engine atopped altogether and would not atari again, aa thore waa no apark. The discovery of the trouble waa made by thoao going on board after the bout waa found and seeing the belt lying looae and no apark In the batteries. "?
