THINK ExPL0R-
ER'S SHIP SAFE.
Several Optimistic as to the
Fate of Arctic Ship Kar-
LUX and It's Captain, De-
spite Others Who Believe
1t to Be Crushed in Ice.

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 22.-Notwith-
standing the publication of interviews
with persons who say they are sure
that Vilhjalmur Stafanssens Arctic
ship Karluk, under command of Cap
tain Robert Bartlett, must be lost,
Stefanssens friends on the coast are
not alarmed. When the expedition
sailed Stefanssen hoped the Karluk
would not be clutched by the ice un-
til it had attained a considerable dis
tance northeast of Point Barrow.
However, he found ice close to the
point and entered a lead with the IN
tention of being frozen in. The ship
was frozen, and is supposed to be
drifting with the ice.
The danger always present in a
lead, is that it's sides will close and
crush the boat The Karluk was not
built to withstand squeeze by the
ice.
However, Stefanssen told friends
before leaving that the Karluk's crew
and scientists would be safe even if
the ship were crushed, as they were
prepared to take to the ice.
Herschel Island, near the mouth of
the Mackenzie river, is the winter rem
devious of whalers and explorers in
the Arctic and it is supposed the Kar-
LUX will send messenger thither with
mail and that Stefanssen himself. who
was ashore hunting when the ice
carried the Karluk out of sight, will
make his way to the island. He knows
every foot of the Arctic shore be-
tween Point Barrow and the Macken-
zie river and has personal aequaint-
ance with all the Esquimaux. Mail
from Herschel Island should arrive at
Dawson about Jan. /, carried by the
Canadian mounted police.

TWIN CITIES FIGHT
TO CONTROL WATER

Centralia, Wash, March 15-The
legal battle between the cities OF Cen
tralia and Chehalis for possession of a
tract of land near the head waters OF
the Newaukum river as site for an
intake for their proposed municipal
gravity water system, began in the
Lewis county superior court. The au-
thorities of the two cities at the be-
ginning were working in harmony on
proposition of joint ownership of
property desired for intake purposes
and the water necessary for supply
ing both cities. But later these friedly
relations were broken, the city of Che
halls abandoning the original plan and
filing condemnation suits against the
city of Centralia and other interested
parties in an effort to secure sole own
ership of both the site and the water,
Centralia later filed a condemnation
suit against Chehalis.
