TWO DEATHS FROM STORM REPORTED.
Seattle Men Believed Drown ed in Gale on Lake Chig-
 nik-Boat Is Found.

The death of Hugo w. Kuhnhausen and his son, V. B. Kuhnhausen, Of S25 Fairview Avenue. Seattle. is re- vealed in the finding of a canvas boat and personal belongings owned by them, according to advices received today at the Governors Office. The accident is believed to have been caused by heavy northwesterly gale on Lake Chignk August 28 or %, states c. A. Halvorson, snperin- tendent of the Alaska Packers Asso- citation at Chignik.
 In reporting the matter MT. Hal vorson stated:
 Natives arrived here at the can nery with a bag containing various papers and clothing belonging to Hugo K. Kuhnhausen of 1925 Fairview Avenue, Seattle. They had found the bag on the beach in the northwestern ly end of Chignik Lake, or Fortmann Lake, as it is marked on some charts. They had also seen another bag and a canvas boat, but the last items were too much for them to take along with their bidarka. The following day I sent some men up there in power boat and they brought back the bag containing clothing. ammunition, camera and a diary kept by w. B.. Kuhnhausen son of Hugo w. From the diary j after drying it, I learned that they were on their way from the Boring Sea side to Chignik. The last entry was made August 28 and that they should have been in the upper end of the lake where their belongings were found, laying over for the storm. On August 29 and 30 we had one of the worst northwest gales I have ever experienced here and it is my belief that they were drowned during the blow"
 Mir Halvorson also states that he had a search conducted for the bod. ies. but this was not successful The belongings, he said, were being talk en by him to San Francisco to be turned over to relatives of the dead men.

Seward Man Announces Will Come to First Division
 Political Purposes.

Thomas B. Drayton, of. Sewards Henry Ford's literary representative, in Alaska, who will be candidate. for the Republican nomination for Delegate to Congress in the next, April primaries, passed through Ju-. neau on the Northwestern en route to his home at Seward. Drayton was. recently invited by Ford to visit Detroit for heart to heart talk over the general Alaskan situation, and incidentally to help frame a program through which Ford's paper, the Dear born Independent, could be more helpful to the people of Alaska.
 Interviewed by an Empire repre-, sentative, MT. Drayton declined to talk politics, saying that journalism was engaging all of his attention at the present time, but that he in tended making visit to Juneau in the near future for the purpose of delivering a political talk in which he would fully outline his claims to- the Republican nomination. ..
 Rumors are said to be going the rounds in Washington political circles even this early in the campaign that Pinchot conservationists will send one or more of their most eff, fective spellbinders to oppose Dray, tons ambition when he takes the stump. For many years the Sewari writer has been casting poisoned ars rows into the ranks of the Alaskan conservation advocates and, it is said, they have scores to settle with him.

AND SHE DIDN'T SAY GOODBY
Naturally Aviator Was a Little Aston
ished at Way His Passenger
Had Left Him.

An airman had been taking up pas
sengers for short trips, and by the
time his last trip came was absolute
ly fed up by being asked silly ques-
tions.
He told his passengers, two ladies'
that on no account were they to speak
TO him; that he could not talk and give
his attention to his machine and that
they must keep silent.
Up they went. and the airman quite
enjoyed himself. He Topped the loop
and pacticed all sort of stunts to his
own satisfaction with no interruption
from his passengers until he felt a
touch on his arm.
"What is it?" he said impatiently.
TIN SO sorry to trouble you," said
a voice behind. and | know | oughtn't
to speak. I do apologize sincerely, but

ought TO know Annie'S gone"

HAVE OLD CAvEMAN INSTINCT
Lovers, in the Orient, Primitive in
Their Methods of Demon
stratinq Affection.

There are all sorts of ways of eX-
pressing affection. The Mainichi, a
japanese journal. reports the case Of
policeman at Hiroshima. who fell
In love with Il restaurant maid and
when she seemed cold endeavored to
convince her Of his passion, and may
hap light an answering flame by
thrusting her in the calf of her leg
with his official sword. He might go
further and issue manual on how
to make love, suggests our contempt
rary. The case of the policeman in
question is doubtless survival of
atavism, being a relic OF the good old
days in the paleolthic age, when the
cave man was wont to demonstrate
MS affection for his affinity by occa-
sional raps on the damsel's head with
a bludgeon says the Shanghai Times.
The submagistrate of Chowghat in
India has just disposed of an unusual
ly interesting case in which two Nair
women Of Guruvuyur, mother and
daughter, charged three Nair youths
with having removed a portion of the
roof Of the complainants house and
dropped carcass of crocodile
through the aperture into the room in
which the younger woman slept. The
motive alleged was revenge, because
overtures of the accused had been re-
iected An occidental would have
taken laudanum or a japanese swain
would have committed harakiri The
Indian. however, showed an original
ity of conception worthy of a better
object. Just imagine your feelings
were YOU to see the dainty form of
hippopotamus issuing from your
ceiling!

Used Noah's Ark Plans.

No secret seems to have been made
of the method of construction adopted
by Noah in building his ark. On the
contrary, the specifications are given
in detail in the Bible limitations of
II have been attempted now and then
In recent times Thus, in the year
1909 a Dutch merchant named Peter
Pansen built mt HoOrn a ship on the
same model though not of correspond
ing size. 1t was 100 feet long, 20 fPet
broad and 10 feet deep The vessel
was found 10 be remarkably we'll
adapted for freightage, and it is said
would hold one-third more lading than
other ships of like size without re-
curing more hands to work it, Much
more recently several so-called "heu-
ten" or floats, were built after the
model of the ark in Denmark.
