FRAUDS
 TOURING ALASKA
ATTEMPTING TO RAISE FUNDS FOR A MYTHICAL ORPHAN
 ASYLUM.

Some of the Alaskan papers tell of the tour of reported elders of the alleged Assyrian church to raise funds for an orphans school, so it Is probable that Valdez will be visited duringg the season Those who have had experience with these elders of Assyrian and Armenian churches say that if these are like the others they are the rankest kind of grafters, and are probably travel, ing out of New York under forged Arabaic credentials, there being a bureau in New York which makes a business of supplying phoney church credentials, all in Arabic, to these grafters.

STORM ON NOME COAST
 SMALL VESSELS ASHORE
THE POWER SCHOONER DIVER FROM HER ANCHORAGE IS POUNDED PIECES. EXTENDS ALONG
 COAST FAR WEST OF THE SOUND

On August 14th during a big storm In Boring sea the power schooner Dwyer, owned by Alexander Allen, was driven ashore and Is now total wreck in Port Clarence. The Dwyer was riding at anchor when the storm broke with unprecedented fury. Al though two anchors were out the small craft began to drag her mud hooks and she drifted onto the shore at Kennedy's wharf. The surf had reached terrible fury, and soon was Founding upon the doomed vessel. All on board escaped with some difficulty but are safe and sound.
 The vessel soon gave way under tha terrific pounding to which the furious seas raging subjected her. The cargo was completely lost, and all that was saved was few deer skins of comparatively little value.

The cargo was consigned to various way points for tthe Bureau of Educa. tion. and represented almost complea ly government shipment.
 The Dwyer was a comparatively re. cent arrival in the northern waters and came up through the Gulf of Alaska after taking the inside pas. sage part of the way. This vessel made record time to the Pass across the Gulf, and Allen who purchased the Dwyer last spring was very proud of his schooner.
 The storm which broke out was about the worst which has driven through Grantley harbor or Port Clarence In long time. It moder. ated considerably but has again ris. en to great fury. Only one side of the vessel remains practically sound here at the present time, and the schooner Is a total wreck-Worker.
