SOPHIA WRECK
 INVESTIGATION
 IS BEING URGED

The Fairbanks Commercial Club is making an effort to have sweeping investigation made concerning the wreck of the steamer Princess Sophia and to that end has sent a number of telegrams to those in whose jurisdiction the investigation lies.
 A message to the wreck commits sioner, at Victoria, B. C., has been sent by the Commercial Club on be- half of the relatives and friends of some of those lost when the ship went down. It requests that the de position of Captain c. D. Stidham, of the steamer Peterson, who lives at Haines and who was in the vicinity of the wreck, be obtained and given consideration at the investigation. An other message of the same tenor has been sent to c. E. Davidson, act ing governor.
 Another message sent to the wreck commissioner mentions the names of Captain Davis, of the steamer Este beth, and Captain McDougall, of the steamer Amy as being good witnesses of the catastrophe as they were on the scene shortly after the wreck occurred and made offers of assis- tance, which were refused. Both of these men reside at Juneau and are readily available should they be needed. A request was also made as to the probable time of the holding of the investigation.
 A reply was received from the act ing governor stating that he had en- dorsed the request of the Commercial Club. The wreck commissioner has also replied. His wire stated that the contents of the messages had been submitted to MT. Justice Morrison, before whom the investigation hear. ing will be held, for his approval and consideration.
 Beyond the substance of the above report nothing else has been learn ed and the club will wait for short period before resuming the matter or until the justice has had time to consider the matter and answer the wires.
