Steamers Standing By

SEATTLE, Nov. 23. - A wireless message from the Spokane this fore noon says that the Steamer Admiral Wainwright, of the Pacific Steamship company, and the steamer Yictora, of the Alaska Steamship company enrOute south from COrdoyg, ale standing by the wrecked vessel and may attempt to pull her of this at- ternOon but doubts are expressed as to the successful outcome of this.
 It is stated at the offices of the pa- cifc Steamship company, that salvage tugs will be ordered out from Van couver and Victoria to go to the as sistance of the Spokane.
 Idol Point is about 20 miles north of Bella Bella and is within five miles of where the steamer Mariposa went aground two years ago. The Point iuts out into the regular route or the steamers and is a dangerous place to navigate in clear weather.

VICTORIA WILL
 BE PLACED ON
 ALASKA ROUTE
Former Nome Steamer To Take the Place of the Wrecked Steamer MaripOsa-Sails From the
 South Next Tuesday

SEATTLE, Nov. 23.-Steamer Vic toria, which has been. operated during the past season to Nome, will replace the wrecked steamer Mariposa on the Seward-Seattle route. This was the announcement made here today. The Victoria will leave here for Seward next Tuesday and will go to South western Alaskan ports via Cape Flat tery. Upon the return trip from Sew ard, the Victoria will call at Valdez and Cordova then direct to Seattle, not making any ports in Southeastern Alaska. The Victoria will remain on the Alaska route until the steamer Northwestern comes off the dock from an overhauling, then the latter boat will alternate with the steamers Alas ka and Alameda on the Seward voy- ages.

Was Making First TriR

The Steamer Spokane was on her first trip to Southeastern Alaskan ports having left Seward a week ago yesterday afternoon, Thursday Nov. 18th. The Spokane has been for years on the Southeastern Alaskan route but owing to other vessels in the Southwestern Alaska service being needed on the Seattle-San Francisco route, the Spokane was being Opcrat- ed in conjunction with the Admiral Evans to Seward and way ports.
 Captain Archie Mckay formerly on the Admiral Watson. was master of the Spokane on the present trip. It is known that he had new pilo. aboard with him, who had just been raised from a first mate. The press adyices do not state who was on the bridge last night at the time Of the accident.
 The passengers leaving on the Spo- kane from Seward for Seattle were; A. A. Hines, W. B. BachmOre, John Johnson, John Nelson, Tom Harmon, Gus Johnson, !. J. Brown ard c. E' Bade.
 No word wal received up co this at- ternoon regarding the mail and eX- press, but it is presumed that both were taken off the Spokane and un- doubtedly transferred with the pa7- sengers.
 The Spokane met with another dis aster about three years ago sinking while on an ex:usion trip, in Sey- mour Narrows. She was ra'Sed, ta- ken to Seattle, generally Overhauled, and put into cOmrl'ssr again ana two years ago was rpmOdeled ana made a regular passenger and freight steamer,

Idol Point.
 The Princess May was northbOund from Vancouver, B. C., and answered distress wireless messages sent out by the Spokane last night. For a time the Princess May was unable to locate the Spokane owing to a heavy fog, but the weather cleared about mid night and under a brilliant moon the work of transferring the passengers from the Spokane was begun and ac- complished without any accidents The passengers were amply provided for on the Princess May and will re- main here until arrangements are made to take them to Seattle, which will possibly be within the next 2l hours.
 Many of the passengers on the Spo- kane were those who were aboard the Steamer MaripOsa. which was wreck ed Sunday morning. They were taken aboard the Spokane at Wrangel

DEVELOPMENT
 AT NUKA BAY
 ID BE RUSHED
Preliminary Work Is Completed and Men Will Be Sent to Property Early Next Season When a
 Mill Will Be Erected

Development work will be rushed on the property at Nuka Bay next spring and mill will be constructed. This is the statement made by those interested in the property today. On the Dora yesterday six men returned from the property where they have been engaged in preliminary work. The men ;n the party were Alex liar ringtou, 7. P. Skeen, John Rec, n. B.

 While o- the property a log caoin, 14xl6 was bIdt on the va sr level, S4OO feet from the property; a tent cabin was erected at the timber line near the property and a shaft was sunk 20 to 9 feet. Owing 70 the lateness of the season, the men re- turned to Seward and everything will be prepared for further development in the spring.
 The ore is rich, according to the men. and perfect satisfaction is ex- pressed with the values so far shown.

 AT FRONT
British Drive Against Hindenburg Line Progressing FavOrably And Germans Are Forcing
 All Men Into the Gap
GREAT AREA IS CAPTURED
Tanks, Cavalry and Infantry Keep Advancing Along Cambrai Road And Important Goal Only
 Three Miles Away

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN FRANCE, Nov. 23.-Thc success of the British in the Cambrai sector con- tjuues to grow. In the past two days the British have captured an area equal in size to that the Germans won during the first fifteen days of the spectacular drive upon yerdun.
 British tanks by the scores with the cavalry and infantry are now battling along the line in which in many places is less than three miles from the im- portant town of Cambrai, the ultimate goal of the British forces.
 Over nine thousand Germans were captured late yesterday afternoon and during the night.
 The Germans are reported throwing their cripples and convalescents into the gap in hopes of stopping the Brit ish advance. This is known because men with their arms still in splints and men on crutches have been taken prisoners and they state that they were thrown out of the camp hospi- tals into the fighting line.
 The battle today is raging as of yore, over open ground.

FOOD ROTS TO BOOST UP THE
 PRICES TO [. P.

CHICAGO. Nov. 2&.-Nefarous op- erations of food profteers have been traced down by detectives in the em- ploy of the federal government, with in the past two weeks, and today g statement was given out that Chica- 20 has been the center for the ec5iv- ity of some of the most unscuPulous of the food manipulators against the common people.
 One of the discoveries made by the detectives was during an investigation in the great local railroad yards. Siz- ing up car after car of perishab,e veg etables. the sleuths found that aun- dreds of such cars had purposely new CT been unloaded but were allowed Co stand on the tracks until the's con- tents had spoiled.
 Between three and five hundred ca.s of decayed vegetables were found and many other cars had their contents frozen. There were potatoes, cabbage onions and sugar beets in the huge lots of criminally wasted food
 The Investigators have plain evi- dence that the purpose of leaving the produce to spoil was to boost prices by creating a shortage. Arrests are expected to follow, as the police de- partment has been notified of the con ditionS.

LAUNCH KUMBACK GOES DOWN IN STORM-MEN
 TAKE TO SMALL BOAT

SELDOVIA, Nov. 19. - Special Correspondence )-The launch kun cack" under charter to the Kachemak Canning company, left Seldovia on the Sth of Novemper for Swanson Creek to take salt and barrels to Hali- but Cove. She had fine weather and left Swanson Creek loaded with a hundred barrels. When off Ninilchik, several miles from shore, light north erly wind and sea and showing at times, the boat began making water so fast the crew could not keep it out. They had only few minutes to grab the handiest things in sight and get into the small boat. The lights of the "Kumback" went out of sight before they were 100 yards away and they started toward shore. This happened at 1O:OO D. m. on the night of Nov ember II and on the next forenoon they landed near Anchor point half frozen but all safe. There were four men aboard and they did not save anything excepting the clothes they were wearing.
 From all reports it is a case Of laundering from structural weakness
