Paul Kegel, is a to al wreck and the re- mains of the vessel, smashed into pieces no larger than kindling wood are scattered along the shore line near Port Arden, Admiralty Island, vii ere the boat pounded to pieces on Sunday night, November 20.

The fierce storm that ragged here was on at Taku Inlet when the vessel left Taku Harbor on the morning of November '19 for Juneau. When half way across Taku Inlet the engines stop ped, due it is claimed to the distil- late freezing in the pipes after a wave had smashed window in the pilot house and dashed the icy spray ever the engine.
 After time the engine was start cd again and the vessel was taken into Doty's Cove in safety. The boat remained in the Cove until 4:30 Sunday afternoon when another at tempt was made to cross the Inlet. After battling with the waves and Nlnd tor several hours the boat went on the rocks near Point Arden at 7:10 that evening.

CONGRESSIONAL ACTION IN ONE
 YEAR IS SLOGAN
Tidewater Association o Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
 Means Business.

DULUTH, Minn., Nov. 2S.-" Ac- tion by Congress Within One Year has become the slogan of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater Asso- citation, the parent body of those who are working for the improve ment of the St. Lawrence River so as to admit ocean going commerce to the Great Lakes.
 A statement issued by Charles P. Craig, executive director of the Tidewater association, announces that two additional states, Oregon and Utah, have joined the original sixteen states that made the pill grimage of the St. Lawrence last July and that the eighteen states who now advocate the improvement comprise one third of the area of the United States and forty per cent of the population.
 The statement says: That the i'm provement Of the St. Lawrence to admit ocean going commerce to the Great Lakes would sometime be made is self-evident. Our sole ef- fort has been to bring it to pass im- mediately because the need is urgent.
 The statement then issues an "Ap- peal to the Nation" which says: These eighteen states do not of themselves command a majority of either house. For that majority we must reckon upon the supporting votes of friendly and sympathetic in terests in other coast states, in the Gulf and the Southwest; on the At lantic seaboard and in New Eng land
 This movement will win and win quickly The forces now in motion make that certain, if quickness is to be measured in comparson with the long and tedious progress of similar undertakings in the past, the weary progress of a decade or genera tion But our effort is for immed- tate results for Action by Congress Within the Year It can be done The need is urgent.
