Mir. J.L McPherson, representing the Alaska Bureau of toe Seattle Chamber of Commerce, was a visitor in Douglas for a few minutes last Thursday after aoon. lie was on bis way to tbe Sound after having visited most of the im- portant towns of Alaska in the interest of a plan to cooperate with them in Holding a general celebration iu the territory in 1917, in honor of the semi centennial of the purchase of the dls- trict from Russia In 1S67. Mr, McPher. son is positive that it is not the inten- tion of Seattle to monopolize either the honor or the credit for the event, which be hopes will have the unani- nous support of the people of the North. He suggests that the towns of Alaska arrange for a series of celebra tions in consecutive order, and says that the organization which he repre- seuts expects Co arrange for monster excursion to Alaska, arriving at the re- spective towns on celebration day. They expect Co bring on this excursion senators. congressman, and other na- sional aud state officials, besides busi ness men and others from all parts of she States. Re says that he has met with nothing but encouragement along the line and feels sure that the plan will work out end accomplish great good for Alaska. Nr. NcPhersOn said that he regretted not to have been able Go meet tse business men of Douglas as he went North and explain the mat ter to them, but it was just at the sine of the big Fourth of July celebration at Douglas and seemed to be impossi- ble However, be said that the Bureau would be glad at any time to receive suggestions from Douglas people. He also remarked tkat Gastineau Channel towns have rather the advantage of the Interior. where the population is scat tered over wide range of eoautry. There several of tbe towns are plan ming to make special exhibits of prod acts. Here a trip through the mines and mills would be in itself wonder fql exhibit

Sailed the High Seas

K. Lawrence and Frank Fuller re. turned to their homes in this city on the Admiral Watson last Monday morn- ing from Cordova, after a narrowing experience on the gas boat "FaYorite.'
 The "Favorite" left Douglas Friday, July 30, for Warm Springs bay, with crew consisting of Capt. Bing Haleck, Fred Hastings, Chris Teperich and F. E. Fuller. They had engine trouble after getting a few miles away from town and on August 5th, K. Lawrence, a gas engine expert, was put on board. He got the engine going and they rau for thirty hours. The batteries then became weak and the engine stopped They sighted a boat, evidently contain. ing native fishermen. They roTed tow ards them to enquire if they had any spare batteries, and the Indians left. Soon after this they were struck by a storm and water got into the gasoline tanks.
 They sailed and drifted until the evening of August 18th, when they landed on Hincbinbrook Islaud, about 600 miles from Douglas. They were all exhausted and suffering from thirst and hunger. They rested two days and feasted on salmon that they caught in the streams, onions, and bread which they made from flour that was on board the boat. After resting, Lawrence and Fuller struck out 50 get assistance and reached the wireless station at Cape Whiteshed on August 10th. They were taken to Cordova, the following day in a navy launch, from which place they got into communication with their rel atives and friends in Douglas, and the light house tender Kukui went after the remainder or the crew. It is very likely that Halleck, Hastings and Yep erich will arrive here on tbe Alameda, due in Juneau tonight.
 It is thought that the "Fayorite" can be eaIved, as she lies on the east shore of Hinchinbrook Island, on a sandy beach between Point Steele and Hook Point. She is we'll protected from south. east winds
