For Congr ess-Arthur T. Brewster.

A few days ago, Mr.. Brewster In.
formed the REGISTER editor that he
would this year make the race for
Congressman from the Thirteenth
District and would shortly give form
81 announcement of his candidacy.
He Is known over South Missouri as a
lawyer of exceptional erudition and
a~bility--one eminently fitted by talent
and untiring industry to capably fill
the position to which he aspires. Born
and reared in this district, and now a
resident of Iron county, he has a close
acquaintance with u people and
knows their desires and needs. He is
Democrat of unquestioned standing,
but q patriotic American above all.
In this connection I quote with full
appreciation from the Reynolds Out
look:
Mr.. Brewster is the author OF the
resolution adopted by the people at
the big patriotic rally held at Bunker
In this county on October 18th, last,
wherein all members of congress who
had failed to give their support to the
President and his Administration dur.
ing the national emergency were
strongly and vigorously condemned.
The crisis still continues, hence his
friends insist he is the logical man to
nominate and elect because Of his
reliability and steadfastness to the
President and the Administration,
and with genuine Wilsonian demo-
cracy in his heart will makes big man
in Congress.
From all the counties in the district
favorable mention is made of Mr..
Brewster's candidacy, and if he have
competitors they will know before
the votes are counted that there has
been q race.

NORTHLAND AGAIN SAILS
 IN ALASKAN WATERS

The famous old Northland. which was wrecked at Rake and lay on the bottom of the bay for so long couple of years ago, is again on the northern run, flying the flag of the Admiral line. The Northland was purchased from the Pacific Steamship Company and was remodeled consid- erably. The ship can now carry 500 tons under decks and has the reputa- tion of being able to get away with the biggest tonnage below decks of any boat of her size The Northland is now named the Admiral Nicholson, and left Seattle recently for Chatham strait cannery stops.
 The Northland was operated for many years by the old Northland Steamship Company. She was the first boat put in operation by that concern. Later she proved too small for the business and was cut in two and heightened. When the Border Line company took over the holdings of the NOrthland Steamship Company the Northland was included in the deal. She was wrecked once in Ton gass narrows, above Ketchikan, and again at Rake. The last wreck came near being her finish, as considerable difficulty was experienced in raising the ship
 The wreck was caused by a heavy deckload causing the steamship to list and water filled her through open ports. She sank in deep water and was abandoned by the underwriters Later the British Columbia Salvage Company undertook to raise her. After they got her to the top she slid out of the slings and again sank, this time sticking deep in the mud They raised her again, and an explosion and fire occurred on board from the fuel oil which covered the inside of the vessel.
 Their last attempt to get the ship to the top was successful, and she is again blowing the waters of the North. There is an old saying in marine cir cles that the Northland will go any. where and into any kind of a harbor, calling at many points where other ships are unable to call.

NOTED ACRTIC EXPLORER
 NOW NEARING DEATH

In wire received by the marshaPs office from Fort Yukon the advice is given that a messenger named An. thony had arrived from Rampant House, three hundred miles away, bearing the intelligence that Explorer Vilhjamur Stefansson was seriously ill with yphoid-pneumona at his camp at Herschel Island. Anthony was four days on the trip, travelling night and day, in order to make fast time.
 Upon receipt of the news Dr. Graf ton Burke, located at Fort Yukon, i'm mediately made preparations to make the trip to the stricken explorer. A party consisting of Anthony, the mes senger, and other inhabitants of the Yukon town, Ott, Jones, Allen, and a native who knwos the country, left with all possible haste for the Arctic regions.
 Besides the men, five dog teams were taken along, and the party will travel night and day in order to reach the sufferers side before it is too late to aid him. Carrying only the neces- sary provisions and a light camping outfit, the men will work the relay system of carrying one or probably two dog teams in empty sleds in or der to have fresh team at command for ready relief. They confidently ex- pect to make the $50 intervening miles in about ten days.
 The report of Anthony states that the explorer was very low at the time the messenger left Herschel island, and grave doubts are ex- pressed as to whether the noted and intrepid Stefansson will be alive on the arrival of the relief party. Many cases of yphoid-pneumonia are re. ported at Herschel island, and pr. Burke made preparations to meet any possible emergencies that might arise out of the reported cases.
 It is probable that the party will make the trip by way of the Old Crow river to the Arctic divide and down the Firth river at the mouth of which Herschel island Iies.-Fairbanks Citi- zen.
