JOHN MCPHERSON
 RETURNS HOME
Man Reported Lost Was Looking for Prospect Discovered
 20 Years Ago

John McPhcrson. member Of thc C. A. R. and veteran Alaskan who. on July 1T. took few pounds of grub and went to sea i'm a small dory and concerning whom some apprehension was felt week ago, it being reported that he was prob ably lost, rowcd gaily into the har- bor yesterday evening, brown as am Indian and with a hirsutc growth that would be the envy of many a younger man. Asked concerning his trip and its object the man who marched from Atlanta to the sea with General sherman replied:
 "Twcnty years ago | discovered a promising mineral prospect near Barlow's cove. on the west side of Admiralty island. For several years have been intending to return to investigate it but never was able to do SO until this summer. But disappointment was my portion, as the entire locality is SO oycrgrowu with devil clubs that | could not penetrate it. The country out there is not like it was when first knew it Then there were myriads of grouse, and this trip did not see one, neither did sec any game of any kind. There arc probably lots of deer on the island, but they are not sporting around on the water front.
 "I heard since coming tack that | had been given up for lost. but when cant take care or myself in the wilds of Alaska, there are of chcchacos who had bet ter stay within the glomor Of clcc- tric lights"

GOVERNMENT
 OWNED SHIPS
Operated to Alaska Deprive Com mercial Companies of Their
 Vested Rights

The nations of all the world are clamoring for additional merchant ships to transport their commodi- ties. Tho United States government is planning tremendous shipbuild- ing program to meet the tremendous demand. Tonnage is at the great est premium in the worlds history. Ships are paying for themselves in one or two voyages across the AL lantic.
 Despite these conditions there is one corner of the earth where ships come and go without their cargo space being completely filled. And that country is Alaska
 The established lines have con tinucd to operate on regular schcd- ulc despite alluring Inducements to enter more lucrative fields with at least some of the vessels they now operate to Alaska. And there would be no danger of any change in their schedule now were it not for a sim gular handicap that has been i'm posed upon them.
 Al the very moment that the United States government is strain
 ing every resource to obtain trans ports to carry troops and supplies to Europe, it is permitting the trans port Crook to operate between An choragc and Seattle. presumably be- cause it is needed Co transport goy- crnment railway supplies. But the truth is there is more than enough space on the ships Of the regular lines to transport an the supplies that the government can use. Be- cause thc Crook is carrying an the government supplies. the ships of the established lines are coming to Alaska with only partly filled holds.
 As a result there is a grave possi bility that tho companies may re- ducc their saillngs Co Alaska. The Crook Is operating to Anchorage only temporarily and will be re- moved as soon as the railroad is built. if not before. On the other hand, Che steamship companies have permanently established connections with Alaskan DOrtg.
 Once the companies remove any vessels from the Alaska service, it will be years before they are return ed because of the big earnings of fcred elsewhere. In view of the fact that the temporary operations of the Crook will cause reduction in the sailing schedules of the regular lines. it will be Co the best interest or Alaskans if the Crook is removed.
 Kctchikan. Douglas, Juneau. Cor dova, Valdez and Seward are just as interested in seeing the present schedules maintained as is Anchor age. for they all would be equally affected. Doubtless if the facts are presented Co the government at Washington the situation will bc quickly rcmcdicd. but the people Of Alaska should not delay in making the facts known.

FROM TENAKEE

Tcnakoc. August 1. 1917. My dear Mir White:
 While the folks are taking their evening plunge n Che rock-bound bath tub. my thoughts wander back Co Che old town and the old friends, and thought a line from Tcnakco. though not far from home, might be welcome. Naturally one would think that TcuaRcc or any other little village would be a pretty lone some spot Co spend a month but | assure you such is not thc fact. or course it would Doc were it not for thc springs. lf one comes here with Che intention of taking advantage of Che wonderful rccuperatiug possi- buitics of che springs. one will have but little time Co get lonesome.
 We have systcmauzcd our work hero iu great measure and we were never busicr than we are now, between Che baths. the laundry and trying Co appcasc an ungodly appc- utc. | rise ut a. m, spend an hour and half m Che bath. drink a quart of water and come home with m appetite that would make a farmland ashamed Of himself. This dose is repeated twice day and occupies ot least five hours.
 Tcnakcc is very clean village and has improved immensely since my ust visit. This Is due entirely Co the Forestry department, who have given them about a mile af plank streets and put their houses iu order. It Is situated on the north shore of Tcuokcc inlet and gets an .hc sun that Alaska can spare. There is splendid beach, good trout streams. and the inlet is tccmiug with an kinds of fish. or course. there Is an abundance of game. but being closed season, and . l being Che father of the game law, h have been very careful and have mot veuturcd beyond the beach line lest might forget myself. In ad- |ditiou to my respect for the law there is also Co be rcckoned with a .U s. Commissioner and a deputy |marshcl both of whom are perfect | gentlemen. and the peace and dig |uity of law Is we'll maintained by both of them.
 The only thing l have really missed here is the daily paper. Thes, arc such abnormal times one won. dcrs what has happened since he ! left the outer world. The world war might be over, the kaiser might |havc lost his place in tho sun-sy many things could have happened lin a week. The whole world seem. Ito have gone mad-some mad for world-suprcmacy. some for gold an some for blood. Here in Tonake. everyone seem to Doc occupied wit the state of the constitution -tryln .to rebuild and renew life, using nu lures own remedy. They don' seem to be greatly interested in tht .war or the great problems of Cha .day; their thoughts follow aloni |other lines. Health and happiness seems Co be their long suit, alC they are getting it here.
 My light is getting dim, SO vii Ihayc to call it quits this time, wltl kind rcmembraucc Co an my friends
 Very sincerely,
