According to report recently
received in Seattle, Grin Ranke, well
know in Nome and an old resident
of Seattle, together with a band of
Eskimos, lost their lives in the
Arctic Ocean early last winter in the
wreck of the gasoline schooner New
Jersey. Among those lost were
four Eskimos who were with the
Stefansson expendition, and who
were largely responsible for keeping
alive the eleven survivors who were
found on Wrangell Island. They
were on their way back to Point
Hope on the wrecked vessel.
Claude Kittuktivik, another native
who led Capt. Robert Bartlett, COM
mander of the wrecked Karluk, in
his perilous drive across the Arctic
waters to the shores of Siberia,
found part of the wreckage of the
New Jersey at Cape Thompson, near
Point Hope.
The New Jersey was built at Bal
lard for the Methodist Mission at
Sinuk, about 80 miles west of Nome
It was manned by an Eskimo crew.
It left Sinuk last fall for Point Hope
and was not afterwards reported.
Ranke was a passenger.
The news of the disaster was re-
ported to w. T. Lopp, superintend-
emit of the Bureau of Education in
Alaska, in a letter in which Loop is
asked to take up with the state de-
partment the matter of payment Of
money due the natives by the
Stefansson expedition, which, it is
said, has not been paid by the
Canadian government. -.-...
President H. F. Alexander of the
Pacific Alaska Steamship Company,
has decided that one of the best
methods of advertising is to instill
the idea of courtesy" into the
minds of all his employees. To that
end he has had large and attractive
cards printed and posted in all the
offices of the company and on all the
steamers. Red ink is used to add to
the placards attractiveness. The
salient points are set forth in seven
short paragraphs. Reading down
the first letters in each paragraph
spell courtesy" These letters are
in red. The placard sets forth that
the Admiral Line believes in cour-
tesy and the golden rule. The off,
GERS and employees are reminded
that a steamship company is a semi
public institution and that courtesy
is catching. The placard closes with
Emerson's statement that Life is
not so short, but there is always
time for courtesy"

SEATTLE, May 27.-All the
steamship companies operating to
Alaska from this port anticipate a
much larger tourist business this
season than ever before. This is
attributed to the unusual number
that will come to the coast instead
of going to Europe, as heretofore.
Then the expositions in California
will attract many thousands of sight
seers and attendants at conventions
Manager Ringwood of the Pacific
Alaska Navigation Company recently
returned from a trip south and is
quoted as saying:
the East and Middle West states to
the exposition in San Francisco will
begin the middle of June. The
tourist traffic so far has been light,
bearing out the we'll established fact
hat the great bulk of residents Of
the. East and Middle West cannot be
prevailed on to begin their summer
pleasure trips earlier than June.
The East is month behind the
Pacific Coast in the return of sum-
mer and they naturally wait until
they know from their own expert
ence that the warm weather is at
hand. The railroads in San Fran
cisco estimate that fully half of the
tourist movement to the Panama
Pacific Exposition will return home
by way of Seattle, which means
that this port is going to reap its
share of the benefits from the traffic.
By far the larger number of the
touristsNwill stop off here to take in
the Sound, and inquiries show that
great numbers will go to Alaska"
Nine hundred and sixty-two con
ventions of national and sectional
character will be held in the leading
Pacific Coast cities during this sum-
mer. The national conventions
alone will bring 1,25O,00J delegates
and their families to the Pacific
Coast and the travel these big gath
erings will induce will attract an
even larger number of additional
tourists. Figures compiled show
the number of conventions in the
leading coast cities to be: San Fran
cisco, S22; Los Angeles, Sc; San
Diego, rs; Portland, 10; Seattle, 40
These figures include state and sec
ton conventions, as we'll as national
gatherings. However, 80 per cent
of the San Francisco conventions
will be meetings, held by national
organizatif MS. Eighteen of the forty
Seattle meetings are of the same
character.

AS means of fostering the
Oriental trade the piers at Seattle
only exacted wharfage rate of rs
cents per ton, while the Alaskan
rate has always been SO cents. This
discrepancy has been much discussed
and the other day the Orient was
graduated into the so cent class and
shippers are now required to pay
that sum for wharfage.

Mrs. Thora Munson has sold the
Munson roadhouse on the Fair

session on May 10. 1t is announced
that the price paid is $500. The
old Munson roadhouse was ruined
by the flood of last year, but was
rebuilt along more modern lines
Since the death of her husband in
1913, Mrs. Munson has managed the

Court officials at Fairbanks are
getting ready to leave in a few
days for the lower river, to hold
court sessions at Ruby and Iditarod.
After court convenes at Ruby early
next month, juries will be drawn
and then an adjournment will be
taken until the party gets back from
Iditarod. Judge Bunnell said that
there was considerable business on
the Ruby calendar, including the
Old Tobie case, which would con-
sumo considerable time. The party
will consist of Judge Bunnell, Ed
Wolcott, the court reporter, j. b..
Clark, clerk of court, and one
stenographer. District Attorney
Roth, and his secretary and one
assistant will also make the trip.
EVERYWHERE throughout Alaska
where copper is to be found there
is talk of trying to operate mines
and get them to the shipping point.
While it is realized at Cordova that
a smelter on the shores of Orca bay
cannot much longer be delayed, and
particularly as soon as the Berlng
River coal fields are open, other
localities are evidently also figur-
ing on a smelter This fact is
brought to mind by an article in the
Fairbanks Times, expressing the
views of a former resident of this
division. 1t says:
Judge Bunnell, in speaking of
copper, said he expected to see
Prince William Sound country and
the other copper centers booming
for the next few years, owing to the
European conflict. The demand for
copper is greater now than it has
been at any time since war was de-
clared last summer, and it seems to
be increasing daily.
Judge Bunnell thinks that the
demand for smelters on Prince VIII
liam Sound will be so great in the
next few years, that it will be abso-
lutely necessary to extend the gov
eminent railroad, or some railroad,
from the coal field to Valdez or
some nearby point, in order that
coal may be had at reasonable
figure for the smelters, which must
inevitably be built.
cat many places on Prince William
Sound, there are copper properties
that can be worked at good proht
while the prices are soaring, and
Judge Bunnell thinks that they will
be worked.
Gwen if the war should end now,
the demand for copper for the mex,
few years, will be so great that the
industry in Alaska will be winner.
Immediately after the war broke
out, the. bottom fell out of the
copper market and those interested
in copper property were much dis
couraged, but conditions have
altered to such an extent now that
those who held on are seeing the
Prince William Sound country
iubilant over the outlook Tor
profits"

KETCHIKAN, May 29.-Soon the
lighthouse tender Kukui, which re-.
Gently came here from Hawaiian
waters, will start on the annuai pill
grimage to the westward. She will
take the place of the Co:umbine,
which has been sent to Hawaii. The
Kukui will make Ketchikan her
headquarters. She is a compare
lively new vessel, having been built
and launched in 1908. She is of
steel constl uction, TT feet long,
with commodious living quarters
for her officers and crew. Capt
William E. Gregory, who has COM
manded the Cclumbine for years in
the north, transferred to the Kukui
With all his officers and men in San
Francisco harbor April 81. They
will continue in the northern SER
vice. The former officers and crew
of the Kukui transferred at the
same time to the .Columbine.
Captain Gregory is one of the
ast known veterans in the light
house service. No navigator has a
more intimate and thorough know!-
edge of the entire Alaska coast. He
was the first master of the light
house, tender Heather, now stationed
on Puget Sound, which was built at
the old Moran plant many years ago.
With Captain Gregory on the Kukui
are w. H. Stanford as first officer,
: H. Barton as second officers,
Harry Thomas as chief engineer, L.
7ritchard as first assistant engineer
and Robert Mcguire as second assist
ant engineer. All are we'll known in
the north.
Tho K-kui will have a vessel to
assist her this season. The light
house tender Fern. now under con-
efrrction in the Fail yards in Eagle
Harbor, on Puget Sound, has been
assigned to the Northern district to
help out the larger tender. The

GOV. SLATON BUSY NAN
WILL TURN STATES AFFAIRS
!, OVER IN FINE SHAPE.
Done Much to Improve GeOrgia's
I Financial Condition.

ATLANTA, Ga.-With his admin
istraton of the affairs of Georgia
nearly terminated and little less than
one month yet to run Gov. John M.
Slaton is probably the busiest man
in the state. He and his official fam
lily at the capitol are working over
time to turn the financial and other
affairs of the commonwealth over to
the incoming administration in ship
shape order.
In his farewell message to the leg
islature, which he has already be-
gun to make notes on, he will not
only review briefly and concisely his
administration and the work that has
been done, but will make recommen-
dations and suggestions for the fu-
ture, which if carried out will serve
to put Georgia in an even stronger
position than she now holds.
During his administration Govern
or Slaton has brought order out of
chaos in the states financial affairs
and business. The main purpose he
had in mind when he was inaugural
Gu was 10 MAKE UeOISld uHdHCldl
system equal to that Of any state in
the union. He found an Anticipated
and demoraized system of taxation
and a heavy deficit. He has put
Georgia's financial system in better
shape than it was ever before in, has
brought about and established a tax
equalization law, wiped out the de-
ficit and at the same time has been
able to cut the tax rate one half of
one mill.
Today it is his expressed desire
and purpose to leave every depart
ment with which he is connected in
the best possible shape, and to that
end he is now working night and day.
He goes out of office on the 26th of
June

BANK $4,000 SHORT;
CHANCE ARRESTED
Former Cashier of SmithviIIe Bank
and His Son Placed Under Bond
Pending Investigation.


SMITHVILLE.-A echo from the
recent murder of A. D. Oliver, the
fake banker and financier, who was
mysteriously murdered some months
ago, was heard in this section yester-
day in the arrest of G. w. Chance,
former cashier of the SmithVille
bank, and his son, Eustace Chance,
on a charge involving a $4,000 short
age in the bank funds. Both are now
out under a temporary bond of ST.
900 each, pending commitment trial.
The Surety Bonding Company of
Atlanta is said to be responsible for
the arrest of the two men. This com
pany has been making an audit of
the books for the past several
months After his arrest the elder
Chance admitted a shortage of ST.
600, claiming that his son, Eustace,
cashied a check of 81 900 for Oliver
during his absence from the city.
The elder Chance was one of the
several arrested in connection with
the murder of Oliver, but was releas-
ed after commitment trial. His son
was also arrested as the result of the
murder, but was given his freedom.
1t is said that the son is not thought
to be involved in the latest develop
ments.
