WIFE OF VICTIM GIVES UP HOPE
 FOR HUSBAND
Fears Seem Confirmed That GaSboat Hunt CT Has Been
 Wrecked.

DOUGLAS, Oct. 8. = Seen this morning by the Empire correspon- dent, Mrs. Laitala, wife of John Laitala, one of the men on board the gasboat Hunter which is be- lieved to have been lost last Thurs day or Friday while on the way from Taku to Juneau with a cargo of salmon, expressed but little hope that her husband is still alive.
 When the news was first circu- lated Monday evening concerning the supposed loss of the boat and her crew of two men, Captain Tom Wiittala and John I4aitala, the lat ter's wife expressed the belief that the boat had probably become crip- pied and had been run to some sheltered point where she was lay ing to awaiting assistance; but hay ing heard nothing this morning. Mrs. Laitala fears the worst.
 The woman says her husband has been on Douglas Island for the past twenty years, much of which time he has been in the employ of the Treadwell company, working in the mines Being an experienced sailor, he has also engaged in fish ing at intervals. Mrs. Laitala came here fifteen years ago and for several years has conducted a lodging and boarding house next door to the City Hall on Second Street. They have one son, Enoid, aged 13 years. Mrs. Laitala closed up her house early in June and, with her son spent the summer at Tenakee, returning and re-opening her house less than month ago. She is hard working woman and is generally respected by all who know her.
 Tom Wiittala, captain of the Hunter and the other man believed to be lost, were we'll known here. He was the first man to go in search of the late Edward Krause when the latter escaped from the Federal jail at Juneau last spring.
 Crews of other small boats which were in the neighborhood of Taku about the time the Hunter is sup posed to have been lost, report that a terrific storm was raging and that the Hunter, having taken on upward of 1900 salmon, was overloaded; also that Taku arm was full of floating icebergs and that she would stand no chance whatever in the event of her striking one. Further, it is the custom of fish launches to keep their lifeboats dashed on the decks and if the Hunter struck an iceberg, she would probably go down before there was an opportunity for launching the life boat
 c. P. Morgan, manager of the Alaska Coast Fish company and one of the most experienced small boat men on the channel, gives it as his opinion that the Hunter and her crew are yet likely to be safe; that they have put nito some nook or bay in a crippled condition and are awaiting help and better wealth. CT. Morgan cites an instance of the launch Teddy being lost for three days in the samelocality when she was overlooked by searching parties and given up as gone for good when she was laying-to in a cove on account of a breakdown.

Story Hour at Library,

The story hour at the Public library yesterday was a very interesting one, indeed. Mrs. Ernest Apperson en- tertained the younger children with the story of the "Moon and the Mouse;" while Miss Maxine Matthews read to the older children "The Christ mas Story that Mother Told" which was greatly enjoyed. Mrs. w. B. Morgan talked to all the young folks about the Red Cross work, and the help that the boys and girls could be to that most worthy cause.
 MT. and Mrs. Roy Wiselogle of Memphis, will be the guests of Mir. and Mrs. E. B. Bloom, and Lieut.. Frank R. Bloom, today and Monday. Mrs. Wiselogle is the daughter of Congressman Randall of Mississippi. Flags"
 There never was time when peo- pie were as interested in flags as to- day. Old Glory waves to us from every school building, from every home, from every automobile and bi- cycle.
 The story of Betsy Ross is being told and retold, and when we come to think of it, in the history of every flag there is somewhere "a woman in the case"
 Our state emblem-the Arkansas flag-is no exception to this rule; and as we are pround of it's symbolism, and it's beauty, we are also proud of , it's designer, Miss Willie Hooker.
 The Southern Woman's Magazine of recent date pays glowing tribute to our flag, and the details of it's de- sign. typifying as they do, not only the history, but the resources of the state for which it stands.
 Miss Hooker and the Pine Bluff chapter, to whom we are indebted for our state emblem, receive their need of appreciative recognition.
 The Arkansas flag will become fa- miliar to hundreds of thousands thru out the United States, thru it's use by the Arkansas Federation of Wo- mems clubs as sticker, being used to advertise the biennial convention of the national Federation of Women's clubs, at Hot Springs, next year.
