TWO WELL KNOWN
 MEN ARE MISSING

News from Ketchikan is that fear is felt for the safety of I. N. Irwin, of the United States fisheries service with headquarters at Ketchikan, and Charles Alexander (Sandy) Clark, who left Ketchikan in the gasoline boat Frances R, presumably for Unuk river, October 9th.
 A cablegram from Ketchikan to Glen c. Bartlett today said that the Frances R, the gasboat in which the missing men left home, had been found sunk at Chickamon river, but her dory and compass were missing. The dispatch said, however, that nothing had been seen or heard of Irwin and Clark, who have been miss ing for more than two weeks.
 The Ketchikan Progressive Miner says that the gasboat Crell, with Messrs. Roselle and Churchill aboard, left Friday to search for the missing men. There are also several Wran- gell boats and parties out searching for them, according to dispatches re- ceived at Juneau.-Juneau Empire.

 The action of the Nome republicans is believed to be based on an incident which happened in Valdez last fall following the returns of the election showing that Judge Bunnell had been defeated. At that time Senator Mil lard told the Judge that he had stay ed by him to the finish and believed that he himself could have been elec'- ed if given equal support and stated that he would probably be the re- publican candidate at the next cleo ton, when Bunnell would have the opportunity of returning the favor (Prospector.)

THE FUTURE OF FLAX

Heretofore flax has been the cash
crop of the pioneer farmer and home
steader. For the last century it has
been prominent on the agricultural
frontier. It's peculiar a~daptability
for sod land, together with its small
bulk and high value we'll fitted it to
such conditions. Soon this condition
must cease and the crop must find a
place among the other crops upon
old, we'll titled lands; for all tillable
virgin lands Of the northwest will be
under cultivation. If history is al.
lowed to repeat itself here, the fla,
seed crop will disappear, but it i:
certain that the nations need Of
linseed oil will continue.
Linseed oil has many uses asid'
from the manufacture of paint, ant
the demand is rapidly increasing
The present American supply come
chiefly from Minnesota, the Dakota
and Montana. The supply can onl,
be made continuous through a prop
er handling of the remaining ne,
