As a result, so-called German news,

VANCOUVER, II. C, Sept. 4.
The body of Captain Alexander Mc
Lean, known as tho "Sea Wolf" was
fqund today In a shallow reach of
False Creek,
A bread mark was found across the
forehead and one eye protruded.
This led to a possible suspicion of
foul play, and the police are wonder
ing If McLean was struck over the
head, beforo falling Into the water,
Another theory is that in going
aboard a small tug nt the foot of
Uijlon stret ho lost his balauco and
fell Into the creek.

removal of 30,000,000 cubic yards of

n sort of Clp'nci-e wall seven feet thick

Xow York to San Francisco. It is
more than could bo dinwn by all (he
hores and mules in the United
Stales. It would fill n million and n
half big Lidgerwood cars, enough to
make n string 12,000 miles long.
"When you reflect that each yard

greatest engineering wonder of the
