SUBMARINE MISSING
GRAVE FEARS FELT
THE k-5 HAS BEEN LOST OFF
CHARLESTON SINCE EARLY
SUNDAY.
Was Enroute from New York TO PEN
sacola To Engage in Target
Practice.-SearchI l. He
ing Prosecuted.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 81. = "a
trace had been found early today
OF the submarine KS which has
been "lost In a fog" somewhere of
Charleston, S. c., since one o'elooi,
Sunday morning and grave fears are
felt for the crafts safety.
Officials hoped, however. that she
merely might have lost her way or
had become slightly disabled.
A flotlla of destroyers. subma-
rines and tenders and scout cruis-
ers are coasting the Atlantic ,be-
tween Charleston and Norfolk and
searching for the vessel. Last night
the only word that had come from
the KS was that she was missing
when the other members of the sub
marine flotilla, XII, K-2 and K-6
appeared off Charleston. They sail
ed Friday from New York for Pen
sacola to engage in target practice.
They were conveyed by the mont
tor Tallahassee. The KS was last
seen Off Charleston. A heavy fog
may have caused her to become sep
arated from the other vessels. She
was proceeding under her own pow
er when the flotilia was last seen
together off Cape Roman, where
the search is being conferred The
explanation generally accepted Is
that the submarine has run aground
or her fuel supply running short
she was forced to lay to until help
could arrive.
The KS was built in 1911 at a
cost of 100000.

owner He will not sell his lands. but will
give them away only to bona fde settlers
and to those who will keep on the job and
aid IN the development of the country The
farmers most likely to succeed are the men
who know the climate and what crops can
be grown. Scandnavians, and especially
Norwegians, Swedes and Finlanders have
been brought up under conditions such as
we have here. They expect long winters
and short summers; they understand the
methods OF culture necessary, and they are,
| believe, best suited to the country"
How much money should a young man
have who wishes to take UP homestead,
Give me some idea of the cost OF clearing
the land"
The right young man might come to
Alaska and make success without anv
money, said Professor Georgeson But
in that case he would have to work for
wages for other farmers or in the mining
camps to get sufficient to live on until his
farm paid He would have to endure hard
ships and his path would not be an easv one.
ON the other hand if he had a thousand
dollars or so he could buy team of horses
or yoke OF oxen and some farm tools He
could put up modest house and furnish it.
He might still have to work out occa-
sionally, but he could soon clear enough
land and get a sufficient start in cattle,
sheep and poultry to make life on the farm
practicable. Such a man should locate on
land that IS already surveyed by the govern
ment, and he should investigate the cost OF
implements, furniture and freight before
starting. He will find the freight rates
high. The average price OF carving goods
from Puget sound to Fairbanks is about 500
ton. II the man could have four or five
thousand dollars IT would be still better, but
with that amount Of money he could make
tar start almost anywhere in the states"
There is one thing that should be we'll
understood, continued Professor George
son, and that is that the settler must have
enough muscle and skill to work his own
farm, and should expect to do the most of
the work himself If he starts out paving
wages for clearing land he will soon be
bankrupt The wages OF Alaska are gov
