ALASKA'S MOST
FAMOUS ship
STOPS RUNNING

Seward, Alaska, Oct. so.-(By
Mail.)-No more trips to the Vest
ward will he made by the Dora, a,
storied littlg steamer which for years
has braved the bad waters lying off
that remote part of Alaska west of
Seward strung out along the main
land Of Alaska and the Aleutian.
islands.
The boat has beenstaken from the
westward run and sent to Seattle. In.
her place has come the Eloise, a small
yacht-like gas boat from, Portland.
Ore. ON her first trip north the
Eloise proved her worth and also got
a taste of her future when she ran
into an eleven day gale and was
forced to put into Ketchikan, Alaska.
But staunch as the Eloise may be,
,Alaskans to the westward will MICS
the Dora, for during these many years
they have come to look to her for al
most everything. The hundreds she
had carried back and forth will re-
gret to learn of her passing from the
run. .
To the fsherymen, cannerymen,
prospectors and natives of the west
ward, the Dora was the newspaper,
the grocery boy, the mail carrier, the
supply bearer" and ever a Santa Claus.
Every year just before Christmas she
made 1t a point to leave Seward in
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1918-11-18

away from danger. Her path was lit
by lightning and the noise of her en-
gines was drowned by the mountains
roars. Ashes covered her decks and
penetrated into every part of her hold.
AS a life saver the Dora had a rec
ord higher than any other boat in
western Alaskan water. In 1906 she
picked up passengers Of the wrecked
ship st. Paul, who had been ma
rooned six weeks on Semedi Island.
In 1909 she rescued passengers Of the
cannery ship Columbia and in 1912
she brought back the men and women
from off the wrecked Olympia. In
all, she has saved hundreds of lives.
And now Dora has gone south for
good. Her owners, the Alaska Steam
ship Co., it is said, took her off the
westward run when the government
abolished the Alaska mail contracts,
one Of the big items in the Dora's
earnings. Reports from Seattle said
Chileans were looking at her with a
view of buying her for a South Am
erican coast route. :
Economic conditions westward were
disputed when the Dora left. Before
the Eloise came the people on the
Aleutian Islands ran short OF food.
An official. report said the shortage
was caused by the withdrawal of the
Dora.
Captain C.. B.. Mullen has been
master Of the Dora on the westward
run for many years. The Dora vas
built by the old Alaska Commercial
Co. of San Francisco and was one of
the pioneer passenger steamers run
ming north. She was 112 feet long
and built of wood.
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1918-11-18

time to get the Xmas mail and pack
ages west before the holiday.
ii Children Of the westward were
named after the BOAT their parents
had come to love. 1t Is said there is
hardly a town or fishing village on h
run that cannot boast Of at least one
girl christened Dora.
For over thirty-five years the Dora's
run has been in northern waters. It
has been claimed she operated on the
most northerly winter route in the
world, the fifteenth Of each month
leaving here on a 1900 mile trip to
Dutch Harbor, Unimak Pass and-other
points and back. Once in a while she
would venture north into the Boring
sea with supplies.
The log of the Dora was one thrill
ling event after another. Occasion
ally in the winter she would pull in
here with ice from her topmast to
water line. Gales drove her ashore
scores Of times, frequently forced her
to run for shelter but eve sent her
down. She bore but few scars Of her
many battles with the elements.
y Once the Dora was lost for eighty
days and nearly the entire world
watched the progress OF the search for
her. It happened in 1906 Gales
south over the Pacific nearly to Homo
lulu. Ultimately she limped into
Puget Sound after what was said to
be one of the most remarkable Of the
many remarkable experiences of the
brave ships Of the north Pacific. :
When the top Of Mount Katmai,
Alaska's great volcano, blew off in
1912, the Dora was calling at villages
along sherikor Island. She was
caught in a smothering cloud of. dust
and volcanic ash. In stygian darkness
she fought a gale for two days to get

BENTlNCK DID
NOT LIKE COMING
OF FORMER KAISER

Maarn. Holland, Saturday, Nov. 16.
Count Charles Won Bentinck, son
OF Count GODDARD, today declared that
his father was unaware of the intend
ed coming Of the former German em-
peror until last Sunday when the
Dutch government telephoned asking
The count acceded to the request as
a duty to the Dutch government.
The former emperor's host seems
somewhat embarrassed over the deli
cate charge given him as his family
has considerable English connections.
Count Charles said that he asked the
former emperor:
well, how long will you remain %
THAT depends upon the Dutch gov
ernment," was the reply.
4 There are no indications that the
former. crown prince intends to join
his father.

ALL WHEAT BREAD
/, WILL NEVER BE AS
POPULAR AS BEFORE

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 18.-Local
men who are prominent in the milling
industry are seemingly Of the opinion
that all wheat bread will never be as
popular again. as it was before the
war. ~. =
These millers have pointed out that
the change to normal conditions
which recently was permitted by the
federal food administrator will not
cause any disturbance to the -four in
dustry throughout the United States.
Only the small millers turned out
mixed f1ours. they said, and in their
opinion a number. Of these millers
may continue, to produce the war
time product. y ~
One eas for this statement, Il. is
said, is the fact that small fmtttera
have for some time been Axpe11ttihhk,lEt
thatfF the prohibition on the Use OF
whole wheat -four would soon be lift
ed. 1T is claimed that they. took the
matter up with their customers and
found quite a difference Of opinion
regarding the change. u
1t seems quite certain, at least, ac-
cording. to milling men, that some
mixed flour will be turned out for sew
eral months at least to satisfy the de-
mands of consumers who "learned.to
like" the taste of war bread.

the recent fighting. The flags borne
by the troops are inscribed with the
name Of "Clarckem," the place where
this division smashed the German

The royal party halted in the cen

the whole first divisions, these sol.
