 JOHN E. PUCH
 UNDER MAS0NS
Services Will Be Held at Two O'Clock Tomorrow and the Funeral Will
 Be Private.

The body of Collector John Fraser Pugh of the Alaska Customs District was found yesterday by the Army, at Tree Point, Douglas Island. II was immediately recognizable. The Amy arrived at Juneau with the re mains at about o'clock last night.
 The incident in connection with the terrible disaster which snuffed the lives of at least 343 persons almost in the twinkling of an eye, of most focal concern has been the fate of MT. Pugh. The news of the arrival of his body spread like wildfire throughout the town, and while it caused signs of relief, it emphasized the feeling of personal loss to the hundreds of friends of the popular official and citizen. Minds that had been stunned by the awfulness of the catastrophe reverted to intro spection and permitted grief that had been held in reserve to find ex- pressiOn.
 The funeral services of MT. Pugh will be nelO at two O CioCh tohioiio"' under the auspices of the Masons The banks will close out of respect to the memory of MT. Pugh.
 Body To Lie in State
 The body of. Collector John F. Pugh will lie in state at Odd Fei- lows Hall from 11:30 a. m. until 1:3O D. m. tomorrow. All who wish to view it will be permitted to do so at that time. The funeral will be pri- vate.
 The United States Customs House will be closed all day tomorrow Tn respect to the memory of the depart ed.
 Banks Will Close
 Both the banks will close at lz:oo tomorrow afternoon on account of the funeral of John F. Pugh and Will re- main closed the remainder of the day

on patrol we proceeded to the north end of Shelter Island, where Cap tain Dibrell and I went ashore. We sent off five bodies found near the broken liferaft to the Amy, which was to return to Juneau. We then walked around the cove at the head of the Island. We found ten bodies ashore and number of trunks. The bodies were sent off to the Amy and the trunks to the Cedar. On the east side of the island, near its head, we found one body of an eld- erly man. Below this point, an- other patrol had followed down the east side of Shelter Island, cover ing the whole beach. At about noon the Monaghan arrived with Deputy U. s. Marshal Morton on board. asked him to make re- assignments of boats.
 When Captain Dibrell' and I were ashore, in places we waded through drifts waist deep. In the afternoon the Cedar went to Tombstone Reef, where the light had been exting- uished. Another buoy was sent and the Cedar, after going into the Sentinel Island light, anchored for the night back of Benjamin Isl and.

In the Lynn Canal off Skagway,
 10-25-1S Dear Mama:
 The man who wrote "On Slow Train Through Arkansas" could write true story of a Slow Trip Through Alaska" if he had been with party of a few soldiers. We were sure Government steamer from Fort Gib- bon to Whitehorse and had no pilot who knew the river, so had to tie up nights, and at that got stuck on six sand bars. We were nineteen days on that 11-day trip up the Yu- kon.
 Then at Skagway the stampede of people out of the Interior had got ahead of us and we had to miss three boats and only got on this one by good luck. Now, this ship, the Princess Sophia, is on a rock and when we can get away is ques tiOn.
 It's storming now, about fifty mile wind, and we can only see a couple of hundred yards on account of the snow and spray. At three a. m. yesterday she struck rock submerged at high tide, and for awhile there was some excitement, but no panic. Two women tainted and one of them got herself into a black evening dress and didn't worry over who saw her putting it on. Some of the men, too, kept life pre- servers on for an hour or so and seemed to think there was no chance for us But we passed through the first real danger point at high tide at six a. m., when it was thought she might pound her bottom out on the rocks and everybody settled down to wait for help. We had three tug : boats here in the afternoon, but the weather was too rough to trans Ter any passengers. The most criti- gal time, nobody but the ships off cers, we soldiers and few sailors amongst the crew and passengers were told about it, was at low tide It noon when the captain and chief officer figured she was caught on he starbOard bow and would hang there while she settled on the port side and astern. They were afraid she would turn turtle, but the bow pounded around and slipped until she settled into groove, well support ed forward on both sides. The wind and the sea from behind pounded and pushed her until she is now, thirty hours after, on the rock clear pack to the middle and we can't get off.
 She is a double bottom boat and her inner hull is not penetrated, so here we stick. She pounds some on a rising tide and it is slow writing, but our only inconvenience is, so far, lack of water. The main steam pipe got twisted off and we were without lights last night, and have run out of soft sugar. But the pipe is fixed so we are getting heat and lights now, and we still have lump sugar and water for drinking.
 A lighthouse tender, big enough to hold all the four hundred passengers, and one big launch are standing by. And as this storm quits we will be taken off and make another lap to Juneau. I suppose after three or four days there, we can go to Seat tie, after I reckon we will be quar- as there are six cases of in fluenza aboard. The decks are all icy, and this wreck has all the marks of movie stage setting. All we lack is the hero and the vampire. I am going to quit, and see if can rustic a bucket and a line to get some sea water to wash in. We are mighty lucky we were not all bur fed in the sea water.
 Lovingly,

Walter J. O'Brien's Body and That of His Child Found Together
 by Searchers.
SOME PERSONAL BITS
News About Some of the Victims of the Sophia; Captain Alexander
 Was Wealthy.

Walter J. O'Brien, agent for the Canadian Pacific at Dawson, who with his wife and five children were lost on the Princess Sophia, was clasping his son closely in his arms when his body was found. Difficulty was expereneed in releasing the child.
 J. R. Young. chief engineer of the Yukon river steamer Dawson, was on his way to Wisconsin to spend the winter with his wife. While at Skagway he said with pride that he had been engineer oh the Dawson for eighteen years, had made every trip the Dawson had made, and she never had trip cancelled. He said the North is good enough for me, and Pm coming back in the Spring"
 Wealthy Mining Operator
 Capt James Alexander, one of the Princess Sophia's victims whose body has been identified, was the owner of the famous Engineer mine of At lin. He has taken several hundred thousand dollars out of the property. and was negotiating for the sale of the property for a large sum, said to be $1,500,000. Capt. Alexander got his title for service in the British Army. He was about 60 years of age. His wife, also victim of the Princess, was many years his jun for. They were married few years ago under romantic circumstances. Capt. Alexander was in a great Chi cago hospital, i'll to the point of death. and his present wife was as- signed as his nurse. They were mar ried during Capt. Alexander's conva- lesence period. and have been con stant companions ever since.

Many valuables On Bodies

As before stated there probably was never vessel leaving for the Outside representing a larger per capita wealth than was true of the Princess Sophia, although vessels have taken out larger aggregate sum during the early mining days.
 Much of the wealth was in the form of war savings stamps. Liberty Bonds, Postoffice Savings certificates. There was besides much gold cur rency, some gold dust, paper money. express orders. bank drafts and post office orders. The Canadian resi- dents. as well as the Americans

 Among the number also was the body of Mrs. John Beaton, on whose body was found draft for $5,000. She was the wife of an Iditarod min ing man.
 Not a Complete List
 It is now known that the passen ger list secured did not contain a complete list of those on board. Some of the passengers did not se- cure their tickets until they came aboard, and it is believed that some of the steamboat men from the Yukon may have not secured tickets when they went aboard.
 Wrecker Arrives
 The salvage wrecker Tee arrived in port last evening from Victoria, and will leave for the scene of the wreck this morning with divers to make an examination of the wreck and endeavor to recover any bodies that may be on board The Tee has a wireless and will report daily to the local wireless station of opera. tions, in order that the officials here may be kept informed.

R. this morning. q fully realize how great are the hardshjns to which many have been put. know that my appreciation is also that of the Canadian Pacific. What we would have done without the co operation of the people of Juneau is hard to imagine"
 Much Papjer Money
 Eleven hundred dollars in Ijbertv Bonds, a book full of War Savings Stamps. together with a draft for $250 and more than $1,50O in naner money were found on the body of Arthur Samuel Bourne, of Iditarod evidently an employee of the North. ern Commercial Company.

Everything Was Done.

wish to reiterate that every thing possible had been done for the safety of the passengers that could be done, not only by the cap tain of the Princess Sophia, but by the captains of all the vessels in the vicinity. The accident, or loss of life is no more due to any fault of these men than was the damage done in the recent flood at Juneau.
 There should be no unjust criti- cism of what uniformed people think might have been done, as mo- body could foresee what Providence had in store. l feel more than deep ly the great loss of life, which has cast sorrow upon the whole Terri tory. I recognize that all aid that was humanly possible was cheer fully and freely given, without thought of personal consequence. The attitude of the men not only commanding the light ships but of the sailors and volunteers, have been splendid and appreciated by me fully. Deputy Marshal Harry F. Morton, with whom I was in di- rect contact, has shown himself a man of courage and sincerity.
 l feel the disaster probably as much as any man in Alaska as there were on board fully fifty peo- pie with whom l was acquainted, many of them intimately, and whom regarded with deep affection. The loss sustained by the Government and by the Territory in the death of MT. Pugh, the Collector of Customs, is one that it is hard to become re- conciled to.
 The change of weather will make the work of recovery of bodies more difficult, but a careful patrol will be kept up as long as it is possible to effect any further recovery of bod ies

with a population of 10000, in-

of prime Importance to Russia, for 1t
virtually controls the whole valley OF

mot only Is Dvinsls important as a

and from Perograd to Wilma. There
Is also an important railroad to Libau.
Dvinsk is 1872 miles by rail southwest
of Petrograd.
"Dvinsk Is an important agricultural
center, enjoying an extensive trade In
fax, hemp and grain. 1t Is also big
timber market, and its flourishing In
dustries before the war included -four
mills, breweries, match and tobacco
factories, tanneries, brick and tile
works.
"In most encyclopedias and gazeteers

Of Dnaburg, but In 1893 the Russian
authorities officially declared 1t to be

pieces for making lint. These pieces
are laid on board or kitchen table,

work. The linen must, of course, be
perfectly clean.
Other clean rags of white cotton IRE
