FAMOUS OLD SAILING SCHOONER
 WILL ENTER ALASKA TRADE

Once more the speedy two-mas schooner Allie l. Alger, famous as a member of Seattle sealing fleet back in the early sos. when Jock" Mclean the Sea Wolf" held forth on the local water front, is to spread her great stretch of canvas to the winds.
 And she will sail out of Seattle as her home port, as in the old days, the great days of the sealing fleet. Then the Allie I. Alger used to swoop across the Pacific to Japan reeling off thir- teen knots, or nearly fifteen miles an hour day after day.
 Now, having been purchased by A. R. Todd and J. Todd, brothers, with of fees in the Port Commissioners ferry building, she is to operate in the Be- ing sea freight trade out of Seattle.
 The Todds have $100 in cold cash that the Alger can beat anything un- der sails on the 1,727-mile run from Seattle to Unalaska. So far there are no takers. The flying phantom of the gale set records in the old days that tend to chill any prospective chal- lenper

Accompanied by Tug.

As a precaution the Alger was ac- companied by a gasoline powered tug. The tug was to be used in towing the schooner, in the event of calms or ad- verse winds.
 After the two vessels passed out at Cape Flattery, the Alger began to show the tug things in the line of speed. The tug did her best to keep up but in a few days the Alger disappeared on the northern horion, reeling off twelve miles an hour She kept up that pace most of the way to Cook inlet and when she dropped anchor in those waters, the tug was somewhere out in the North Pacific-days behind. On the voyage north the Alger a number of times speeded up to fifteen miles an hour, according to the old timers
 On her return the Alger was laid up in Salmon bay where she remained until recently. When the Todd broth CTS purchased the famous schooner, they sent her to the yards of A. J. Stucky in Dockton, Quartermaster's harbor, where her hull received a thorough overhaul and repairing. When werkmen were tearing away her old cabin aft, they discovered three high power rifles hidden behind a bul1head, all rusty and worn with T,, Ia Jo of J...- fleet, the hunters of the various ves- sels used ten gauge shotguns and then a regulation was promulgated prohibit ing fire arms in the industry. After that spears were used, but the North Pacific is big place and it is said that rifles found their way into the fleet, as shown by the discovery behind the cabin bulllhead.
 Mainmast Still Sound.
 The Alger still has her original mainmast. It is sound as of yore, but the present foremast was obtained in Japan. In the sealing days, the schoon- CTS sailed from Seattle to Japan and then worked their way back across the ocean. They left in the early part of the year and came home in the fall Once the Alger lay off the Japanese coast July 4. The crew decided to cele- brate with real eclat. Tn some way they persuaded the Japanese to let them have big cast iron cannon that was mounted near the shore.
 The crew took the cannon aboard and set it on the hatch. Then the sailors loaded it to the limit. The can- non exploded and blew the foremast

Laid Up Many Years.

The Todds recently purchased the schooner from the Marvin Ship Chand- lery, of Victoria, B. C., which acquired possession of large number of the famous sealing schooners after the United States prohibited sealing. That was more than twenty years ago Nearly ten years ago Great Britain followed suit and thereby sounded the knell of the sealing fleets. The winged vessels that cared neither for storm nor gale nor raging seas, that hung on the trail of the seal like a cat stalking it's prey, since then have lain in forlorn idleness in various ports, chiefly in Victoria.
 Details of the purchase of the schooner Alger and of their plans for the Alaska freight trade were obtained from the Todd Brothers today Since they acquired possession they have gone quietly about the work of restor- ing the speed queen to her original condition.
 The Alger was laid up in Victoria for years and then in 1913 was called out of retirement by Capt J. H. Me- Nichol, now agent at the port commis- sIon's Salmon bay terminal who took her north on a mild cure fish proposi- ton. She was chartered by McNichol. He brought the speed queen back to Seattle where he outfitted her. Then he set sail for Cook inlet, his destna- ton.

Alger a Seattleite.

The Alger is essentially a Seattleite. She was built here by Thomas J. King long before he organized the firm now known as King & Winge. His yard street and it was there that the speed queen took her initial plunge into the briny deep.
 The rerigging work is being carried on at Pier A, where the Alger moored several days ago on her arrival from Dockton. She is to be ready to go to sea the latter part of next week. She is a 96-foot vessel, over all, with a cargo capacity of approximately 300 tons. Twelve hundred yards of canvas is being cut for her sails. She will have flying jib, a jib, staysail, fore sail, mainsail, topsail and storm tri- sail. Her main boom is sixty feet long.
 Capt. H. F. Rapp, veteran master mariner, will command the Alger in the northern trade.
 When the Alger sailed in the Seattle sealing fleet, one of her sister vessels was the Jennie Thieland,, owned and commanded by Jock" Mclean, the original of the Sea Wolf in Jack London's novel of that name. Mclean died two years ago in British Colum- bia.-Seattle Times.
The Nome daily nugget., 1916-09-04


 In those days the Alger repeatedly showed her heels to pursuing Russian warships. There was excitement for all hands
 To Sunde X d'Evers of Seattle, has been awarded the contract for rerig- ging the famous sealer, and the firms workmen are now busy cutting the canvas for the sails. When the Alger was first placed in commission as a brand new vessel she was rigged by d'EIvers, who was then pioneering in the ship chandlery and rigging busi- ness in Seattle. At that time Seattle regarded the job as a big one. Now Sunde x d'Evers handle is as an or dinary contract presenting no difficult ties. In fact it has become one of the smaller waterfront propositions, but to Sunde there is a world of sentiment in the return of the vessel. He person. ally is seeing to it that the work of rerigging is being carried out with the greatest care and efficiency.

Mine Workers Apply to
State Police For Aid

That a more friendly feeling exists
between the mine workers and the
State Police, who in the past have been
on anything but the best of terms, was
evidenced in the recent meeting of
Local No. 1857, United Mine Workers
of America at Mocanaqua. Trouble
was anticipated from outsiders on ac-
count of reinstating a former mem
ber and threats had been made. Alex
Smith, secretary of the United Mine
Workers Association. sent letter to
the State Police asking for protection.
In response to the request Zoe A.
Remaly, private of Troop b was sent
with a detail and perfect order was
maintained
About $50 attended the meeting,
which was probably the first instance
in the history of the State Police
where a feeling of harmony and CO.
operation prevailed between a labor
organization and the police.

Phila. Book Publishers
Predict Raise in Prices
Sbeeial 10 the Telegraeh

Philadelphia. Aug. 19. - Scarcity and
increased cost of papers, inks and vari-
Gus commodities entering into the max
ing of books have already forced pub
fishers to raise prices on some new
publications. and it is estimated that
readers of popular fiction will be pay
ing at least 15 per cent. more for their
favorite authors in the near future.
Standard technical works, such as
medical textbooks, are not likely to be
advanced, as these have been sold at
fixed" price so long that the publishers
are pocketing reduced profit rather
than increase the price. This is true
of many standard reference publica-
tions, and it is the new works. chiefly
copyrighted fiction, which will cost
more over the retail counters.
The ]. B. Lippincott Company has al
ready announced slight advances on
some books published by it and other
publishers are reported to have revised
their lists on sets and copyrighted
books.
Publishers are paying from 33 per
cent. to 200 per cent. more for book
papers than previous to the war;
leather binding is up at least 25 per
cent. and flour paste, formerly boughr
at S1.25 a barrel, is costing $3.50 to-day
Binder board costs SAT a ton to-day as
against $26 a few months ago, and inks
have advanced at a proportionate rate
with paper.
