BENDER BROTHERS WILL MAKE TRIP.
 UP KUSKOKWIM

"The power schooner Bender Broth CTS, owned by KnafliCh X Albert, has been chartered by the West Coast Grocery company to carry a load of supplies to the Moravian missions in the Kuskokwim river district, accord ing to Capt. Louis Hnaflich," says the Seattle PoSt-Intelhgencer.
 "The Bender Brothers, when she reaches Quinhaget and Bethel this spring, will be a most welcome sight, for through failure of delivery of sup plies last fall the natives and traders along the river have had short com mons all winter. The arrival of the Bender Brothers will also have deep CT significance to the missionaries and their charges, as it was through their industry that the vessel is now sailing the seas instead of being a diSmantled hulk on the KuSkokwim flats.
 "The Bender Brothers, then a sail ing vessel, went ashore and was driv- en far back on the flats some twelve years ago. The Moravian missionaries and their Indian charges put in an entire summer floating the vessel and after she was once more free Capt. Knaflich purchased her, running her to Seattle, where power was installed. For the past ten years she has served 2 as a supply boat to the same mission aries who were responsible for the salvage of the craft. Two years ago she was frozen in at Bethel with Capt. Knaflch in command, but despite var ious viciSSitudeS m the North she was was the last vessel out of Boring sea last fall and will be the first to enter this spring. having sailed from Seat tie several days ago on another mis- sion.
 "Knaflich X Albert also announce the purchase of a power schooner now building at Eagle Harbor at the plant of J. T. Wilkin. The next vessel is 66 feet over all, with a beam of 15 feet. She will be powered with a 45 horsepower Union and will go into the north this spring under her own power. Once at Kuskokwim river the new vessel will be kept busy as feed rr to the power Schooners Bender Brothers and Ruby, making trips to out-of-the-way points and connecting
