KARLUK POSITION
 IS DANGEROUS
OO

Olaf Swenson, part owner of the whaler Belvidere, and representative of the Hibbard-Stewart Co.,, on the present expedition of the vessel, pass ed through Juneau last night on the Northwestern enroute to the States, having mushed out overland from the ship which lies frozen in about 65 miles west of Herschel island. It is the belief of Mr. Swenson, who left the ship October 21 that the Karluk is in grave danger of being crushed if some catastrophe has not already overtaken the craft. Capt. Bartlett, in command of the Karluk, according to MT. Swenson, instead of staying in- side the ground ice as the whalers do when freezing in for the winter set out from shore and was caught in the pack The last seen of the Karl uk, Mir. Swenson states, was by some natives on August Is. The Karluk was then off Barter island, about 150 miles east of Point Barrow.
 The schooner Elvira was crushed in the ice and lost about October 1, and her crew were transferred to the Bel videre where they are wintering. Capt. c. T. Peterson of the Elvira accom- panied MT. Swenson on his overland journey across Alaska. They came by way of Fort Yukon and reached Fair banks in 26 days, travelling with dogs. The Mary Sachs and Alaska, reported wrecked, are safe in the lagoon at Col linson point, according to MT. Swenson, who brought the mail out for Dr. An derson, the latter having travelled from Point Collinson to the Belvidere in order to have the mail brought out.
 Capt Louis l.. Lane and Lee Hud- son, the latter the moving picture man for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, came out overland and are aboard the enroute to the States.

 CONDITION SATISFACTORY
O-O-

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-James J. Hill commenting on Northwestern condi- tions, says:
 People in the Northwest feel pret- ty optimistic and there are no great signs of depression there. Because prices are somewhat lower than last year, farmers are not selling a great deal of grain. They have enough funds to hold out until better prices prevail. The consumption of necessi- ties will have to continue. and for that reason Northwesterners do not look forward to depression"
