frozen in and the engine was out of repair but after working on her for practically two days and nights she was ready to put to sea and the rarty started without any de- lay. Bradford in the mean time had reached Kodiak where a large can merry tender was waiting his ar rival and was already on his way with a good start.
 Then for over a thousand miles along the coast of the Alaskan Peninsula, bucking gales and snow storms, travelling in small gas boats every mile of the way the race continued, both boats being pushed for everything they had in them.
 Unga was reached at last with Bradford a good day ahead Of his rival. Dog teams secured, both parties started on the long over Hand -mush to the shores of Heren- deen Bay, on Port Muller, Boring Sea, where the site was located. Waller arrived there in due time but found that Bradford had been there for at least a day.
 The story of how the two par ties worked on the survey, each strainiDg every nerve and using every trick known, to beat out his rival, will probably never be known, but Bradford and his party finished first and the re- turn trip was started. The story oF the return Is lost for the time being but Waller arrived on the Farragut yesterday and filed his survey in the office of Secretary pavidEOn at once. Bradford's sur vg7 has not been received as yet.
 Tie next step in the fight for the site is up to the officials of the land office, the attorneys of the opposing companies aud the de- partment of the interior. and 1t is probable that some time will elapse before the question as to which of the contestants really win is settltd.-Juneau Empire, Feb. 26.
The daily Alaskan., 1916-03-06

Sounding like Rex Beach novel or one Of Jack LondOn's stories, the tale of a race for thousands of miles along the coast of Alaska by rival engineers for a cannery site on Bermg Sea, was told in the Ju- neal land office yesterday by H. II. Waller, one of the contestants.
 The race started in seattle and took the cOutestants to Seward on pa!aJial steamers, from there to the lar westward on small gasoline boats, through the stormiest ocean h the world, through bowling gales and raging bIizzards, across miles ot suow-coYered Alaskan wilderness and return, all in the deal Of win ter.
 Many times both parttee were in danger of sbipwreck ana w-.- close to death, in fact t4yy --~ their lives ID their hands my-t u- the time -ud the slightest a.lt or breakage in their gas ..a.-ys would have resulted in th.tg death.
 The race was finished as lar as the rival engineers are concerned in Juneau yesterday when the Admiral Farragur landed ~L ..c dock.
 II. H. Waller, one g- tbn contest ants it. the race stepped ashore -..a and while admitting that J-a s. man beat him to taa EI1-ud .- fuses tC admit defeat au. J-e ...- chapter will be told by -a. lw-.r Of the cOutesJilg parties.
 The race started at Seattle --.s last summer when representatives ,l rival fish compguies arrived tl..s and told of having found g. cau4ery site Of great value, each one uu- known Co the other. At once each made preDaration to locate and hold the alJe and engineers were started north. The first step was to file an application for location in the Juneau land office and this vas done. At g o'clock of the morning of January F, 1916, the Nelson Lagoon Packing Company, acting through Vim & Burton, filed au application for ground and the proper steps towards authorizing a survey of the land were taken by the land office officials.
 A 10 o'clock of the same day the steamer Jefferson landed here and H. H. Waller, acting for the Henry .. Tib0y and associates, filed an application for the same ground. The descriptions of the land in the first application were very vague and the land officials could not be sure the two parties were applying

for the same ground, and owing 10 the fact that the descriptions of the ground in the Waller applies tiOn were very definite, the survey On this application was also au- thorzed.
 Waller at once left for the West ward to connect with the steamer Dora at Seward on bis way to make a survey of the property prior to filing hiS application for patent, as required by law. However, the dramatic part starts, the attorneys for the opposing companies found out that Waller wss after the same ground. They got busy on the cable with the result that Alexan- der Bradford arrived in Juneau usuhiu week and left for the Westward the next day. Waller, in the meantime was waiting in Se- ward for the Dora to leave on her long run to Unga and the Westward. She was delayed by heavy storms and Bradford arrived there before shc pulled out, Bradford was on his w.v to Kodiak where 2 gasoline bout was waiting for him and he planned to get a long start down -ae straits ahead of the Dora.

 Bradford arrived at Seward on the Admiral Farragut on his way to KodiaE, and Waller and one of his principals boarded the same boat for Seldovia. The gas boat was

true that those laws made some pay
more taxes, and they made some pay
less. Owners OF valuable coal and 9TH

OF their burdens. Mr.. COrnwpll would
repeal the Dawson Laws but he pro-

ST. LOUIS, Oct. ia plea 10 the
working people Of America 10 come
into the church was made by Rev. j..
Howard McliSh. Of Brooklyn, in an
address in the Social Service forum.
in connection with the Protestant
Episcopal general convention here TO-
day. He asserted that in the Ameri-
can churches to-day can be found pco-
pie Of culture and social standing. but
that it is the worker who is absent.
The church started among the
workers in the beginning, a tent maker
being its chief missionary. and his
fellow workmen its first members in
Europe" DR.. MeiSh said He said it
was ignored by the people Of culture,
art and social standing Today, he
continued. the workers in Catholic and
Protestant countries alike are indif-
ferent or hostile 10 the church. Rev.
Dr.. Melish held that the church can
only regain the working people of
chrislendom by understanding them.
First. the workers; want new in
dustrial environment he continued.
"One-third, and possibly onehalf, Of
the families Of wage carncrS earn, in
The course Of the year. less than
enough 10 support them in anything

lies un the bare subsistence level with

Sequently their families are compelled

try as TO the land flowing with milk

There is no Use telling employers
TO be kind and generous: our competi-
tive system is morally and socially
bankrupt. The workers; know it and
ask for soil wehere The seed of rea;
human individual and social life may
bring forth fruit abundantly.
"Thr church now recognizes the
rich as the class by which lis mis-.
sionS and phlanthropies are carried
on. In the same way why should il
not recognize rhc wage earning class
as the inStrumentality. under God, by
which the new economic order is 10
