COMMITTEEMAN M'BRIDE IS
 ENROUTE TO WASHINGTON

KETCHIKAN, Feb. 17-National Committeeman J. c. McBride has left for Washington to attend a Re- publican national committee meeting to be held at the national capital on March 8. And after the inauguration he intends to have a conference with President Harding relative to the appointment of Alaskans to Alaska offices.
 The friends of Judge Wickersham have evidently given up all hope of his securing the appointment as gov ernor, their slogan now being Any thing to beat Hazelet". Charles Her ron's Juneau Capital, official organ of Wickersham, scents defeats for its candidate, and is trotting out alleged candidates from the States in the hope that if the fight can be made bitter enough against Hazelet, one of them will be named. The Cap ital, in four-column editorial, in- inmates that Scott Bone, former ed. itor of the Post-Intelligencer, may be named governor and, in the same editorial, it is urged that if Bone will not accept, another newspaper man of the Pacific coast, be selected.
 These statements from the Wick ersham paper, are regarded as an acknowledment that Wick is out of the running. The suggestion of the appointment of an Outsider, in the event that Wickersham is not given the office, are much opposed by Alaskans, who resent the attempt of the Juneau paper to cloud the issue so as to make possible the advent 1 of carpetbaggers into the territory. i

BOMB PLOT IS EXPLODED;
 MYSTERY PARCEL WAS RYE

WASHINGTON, D C., Feb. IT. The nation, which was led to be lieve on Tuesday, that the entire navy was marked for destruction by conspiring sailors, is breathing cas- fer today, in consequence of the announcement that there was really nothing to the plot beyond the alarm of a few frightened secret service men and naval officials who talked for publication before they had in vestigated the cause of their alarm.
 Investigation has disclosed the fact that the mysterious package which sailors tried to get aboard the presidential yacht Mayfower. and which was the cause of all the ex- citement, contained nothing more harmful than a bottle of rye whiskey which the sailors were trying to smuggle aboard the ship.

ARMY GUNNERS ESTABLISH
 NEW RECORD AT PRACTICE

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 17-Big gun coast defenses of San Fran cisco recently took world leadership when, official service reports claim, for the first time in history, twelve inch rifles were fired entirely by directions from the air. Experiments have been conducted since last April on cooperation between the army air service balloons and the various coast artillery and heavy artillery posts along the Pacific coast.
 The 14th. and 24th. Balloon companies sent here from Fort Omaha, Nebraska, conducted these experiments. So far as known, this kind, undertaken in 1919 at Sandy Hook, resulted in failure. Special in struments were devised in the Pa- cifc coast experiments, whici, finally resulted in success.
 Battery Wendell, one of San Fran cisco's big coast defense disappear ing batteries, claims the honor of the first battery functioning accur- ately from aerial control. Twenty two shots at a pyramidical target, moving at range of 14,OOo yards, included fire direct "ship" hits.
 This demonstrated that fog or haze making low visibility hereafter will not cripple San Francisco's coast defenses. Balloons at an alti- tude of 15,OOo to 10000 feet get over the fog, locate the enemy ob- ject at sea, and direct the fog-hid- den battery's deadly work against the attacker
 Following the big rife experi. ments, the balloon companies work ed out mortar firing problems from the air, as we'll as night firing by flares, and tests of new instruments. The balloon companies will be per manently stationed at Roos Field as a part of the Pacific coast defense.

AQVaN ONILL3O H3HO7dX3 FOR ARCTIC EXPEDITION

EAST BOOTHBAY, Me, Feb. 17 Work is almost completed on the hull of The Bowdoin in which Dr. Donald B. McMillan, explorer, will make his next dash into the Arctic regions. The launching of the craft will take place in the early spring and the schooner will be in shape to set sail by the first of May.
 Dr. McMillan is perfecting plans for an expedition to begin next summer, which will include an at- tempt to circumnavigate Baffin Land and penetrate it's western coast, one thousand miles in length, said to be the longest stretch of un- known coast line in the world. He is frequent visitor here and keeps careful watch over the construction of his ship.
 The Bowdoin, which is being built on the sturdy lines needed in an ex- ploration vessel to withstand the ice grind, is of the knockabout fishing schooner type. It will be 88 feet in length, over all, 20 feet wide and equipped with 45 horsepower oil- burning engines. Three inch oak plank material is being used for the hull.
 Before his departure for the far north Dr. McMillan will make an ex- hibition cruise along the coast dur ing May and June. About July :, with a party of six men, the ex- plorer will sail from Boston for the Polar regions. ..:.-..
 Under favorable weather condi- 1 tions The Bowdoin should reach Fury and Hecla Strait early in Sep- tember. There the ship will be frog en in.
 Leaving their vessel under a lone guard the party will push forward ! on a 2o0-mile trip on sleds drawn by dogs. Five Eskimo dog mushers will accompany the party across the l rugged, ice-bound country which abounds in perils. Establishing of | camp 700 miles south of Etah in the northwestern part of Greenland is one of the main objectives.
 Within the last 12 years, Dr. Me Milan has made six trips into the l, and of the midnight sun. Most famous of these was his expedition 'y which he disproved the theory hat Crocker Land existed in the extreme north. At that time he dis covered nine new islands.
 A number of local mariners have ,rged the explorer to take them 'long on the expedition, and the ownspeople are preparing to pre- ent flag to fly from the fore peak # The Bowdoin.

ALASKA LAWMAKERS WILL
 ASK GOVERNMENT TO HELP

SEATTLE, Feb. 17-Territorial Senator Chamberlain, of Seward, who is on visit to the States for the first time in fourteen years, is enthusiastic over the oil possibilities of Alaska, but he believes that it is up to the federal government to take the initiative in the develop ment of the Northern fields, for the reason that practically all the oil lands are owned by Uncle Sam.
 The senator says that one of the first official acts of the legislature, which will convene at Juneau early next month, will be the considera- tion of memorial to Congress, ask ing the federal government to sink a test we'll in each of the various Alaskan oil fields, on land owned by

 Senator Chamberlain is visiting friends in this city for a few days before starting for the territorial capital to launch his campaign for federal aid for the oil fields.
