BUNNELL GOING
 TO STATES FOR
 COLLEGE STAFF
President of Alaska College Going Outside to Get
 Teachers and Plant.

En route to the States on business connected with the Alaska Agricul tural College and School of Mines, Judge Charles E. Bunnell, president of that institution, visited in Juneau today while the Latouche was on the Channel. He was optimistic over the future for Alaska's first collegiate institution and is entering on his du ties with a great deal of enthusiasm.
 Judge Bunnell's first call in Jul neau was made on Governor Scott C.. Bone, with whom he talked over the plans for opening the Fairbanks col lege next September. Later he con ferred with Commissioner of Edu- cation L. D. Henderson relative to college matters He had little to say relative to the recent unsuccessful attempt made by two members, Rob- ert Bloom and R. l.. Lavery, of the Board of Regents, to oust him from the presidency. His only comment was that the facts in the case had been fairly represented in The Elm pire at the time it occurred. Cover nor Bone, he said, had assured him of his support in all matters for the advancement of the college.
 As president of the Fairbanks col lege, Judge Bunnell will visit a num- Der of similar educational institu- tions in the States, including Oregon A. & NJ, Kansas A. & M, and many others. He will get a line on the equipment necessary for the Alaska college and purchase it while in the States. He will also employ a staff of ct nd lat ments to open the school next fall.
 Judge Bunnell will go as far East as Pennsylvania before returning to his home at Fairbanks. He will be in Washington for a short time and may appear before Congressional commit- tees studying Alaskan affairs.
 Conditions generally in the Inter- for, he said. are good and improving all the time Residents of that part of tho Territory are more optimistic today than for many years. The completion of the Government Rail road means a great deal to them and to all the country, he said As an instance of the material benefits already accomplished. Judge Bunnell cited the greatly decreased cost of travel
 The trip made by him from Fair banks to Seward over the railroad cost him approximately $46, including hotel and restaurant expenses, four days being consumed in the journey. Formerly the trip from Fairbanks to the coast at this season of the year would have entailed the expenditure of probably more than $500 and ta- ken from one to two weeks to make it. depending on weather conditions. There has been proportionate de- crease in the cost of freight traffic, he said. which means much to the Interior districts.
 Judge Bunnell will be absent from the Territory for several weeks. If possible he will stop in Juneau for a few days on his way back, to Fair banks.

Missing Woman Proves to Be Ward of Wealthy Realty
 Man Found Dead.
DEVELOPMENTS SHOW
 MURDER AND SUICIDE
Police Unable to Locate Man Posing as Ferdinand Hoch-
 brunn, Found Dead.

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 23.-In- vestigation into the death of Ferdi- nand Hochbrunn, wealthy realty broker aged 72, whose body was found in his apartments yesterday, after it was reported he had gone to California about nine weeks ago, developed that Miss Clara Elizabeth Sharkin, who had a room in his apartments, and is also missing, was his ward.
 Further developments show the woman in reality is Mrs. Robert Winborn, wife of Robert Winborn, who died shortly after his marriage in an Ann Arbor, Michigan, hospital early last year. The police had been searching for Winborn until they learned of his death.
 Winborn's former wife, Cleo, three years ago, attempted to kill Miss Sharkin, wounding her slightly but the same bullet struck the latter's mother, Mrs. Emma Sharkin, killing her. Cleo Winborn then shielded.
 The police of San Francisco and San Bernadino are unable to find the man posing as Hochbrunn and who collected rentals from Hoch- brunn's Seattle property during the last few weeks.

UNE:MpL. 0YMENT IN DECE M B ER
 IS INCREASING
Summary of Conditions in the Pacific Coast States
 Made Public.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 23.-Unem- Iployment in December shows an in crease over November in California, Oregon and Washington, J. A. Kelly, district director of the employment service of the United States Depart ment of Labor, said in his December report made public here today.
 Unemployment is due chiefly to cessation of seasonal activities" the report said Some fruit crops in certain districts are yet to be har- vested Agriculture, excepting fall blowing, is at an end. Housing short age still exists, although building industry shows marked activity. Lumber has shown some improve ment in the northern part of the dis trict but is yet far below normal. Shipbuilding is practically at a stand still. Iron and steel trades are very dull. Much unemployment among unskiled labor. Approaching holiday season has, in a measure, stimulated retail trade. Foodstuff manufactur- CTS are operating to capacity. Tex tiles are in excellent shape, particu- larly woolens, some of which are op- erating double shifts"
 Portions of Mir Kellys report GOV ering the three states follow:
 CALIFORNIA - Although some trades have shown an increase in employment, industry in general shows a decline. Agricultural pur- suits are practically at an end and most of the packing plants are closed for the winter. Lumber in some sec tions shows increased activity, while in other parts of the state camps are shut down for the winter, and some of the mills have reduced their forces. Building shows a continued activity in the large cities, and in some trades there is a demand for help. Shipbuilding at a standstill. Iron and steel industry far below normal. According to preliminary data, compiled by the State Highway Commission. over $1.800,000 will be expended for highway construction during the year 1922. Present em- ployment of the commission totals 4600 men, with prospects of over 5000 being employed before sthe end of the present year. State officials in charge of various construction projects are strenuously endeavor- ing to hasten their work. A large influx of labor is expected every win ter, and a number of transients have already arrived, especially in the southern part of the state. Labor dispute going on in the Kern and

ALI. RUSSIAN
 CONGRESS IS
 NOW MEETING
Ninth Session Assemblies and Delegations Face Famine
 and Reform Problems.

MOSCOW, Dec 19-tMany fOrmid able questions appear on the agenda of the Ninth All-tussian Soviet Con gress, which is in session here to day Foremost among these are the consideration of the preliminary re suits of the new economic policy which abandons Communism to Q considerable extent, and the famine which threatens to wipe out millions of Russians in the Volga districts before the next harvest.
 It is more than a year since the last meeting of the All-Russian Soviet Congress and the congress has ac tually become much less important than might be imagined from reading the Soviet constitution It has over 2,000 members Village and town Soviets call elections by means of which delegates are selected to at tend conventions in provincial capi tals which designate the delegates to the Moscow congress.
 Only workman, soldiers, sailors and peasants who do not employ any laborers except their own families are entitled to vote under the con stitution Bolshevists make no claim that the elections to the congress are democratic. They frankly call their system a dictatorship of the proletariat and do not pretend that their government has the support of a majority of Russians.
 At every session of the AllRussian Soviet Congress a central executive committee of about 200 members is elected which holds office until the next congress is called and is the body in which the chief functions of government are vested by the con stitution.
 In practice this committee. whose members are scattered all over the Russian republic and federated gov ernments. has been found unwieldy It is too large to assemble con veniently. By degrees the actua control of affairs shifted to the Coun cil of Commissars, which corresponds to cabinet, and is under the chair manship of Nikofai Lenine.
 M Kalenine, who is the legal head of the government and is generally spoken of as President of the Re public, will preside over the Ninth All-Russian Soviet Congress by vir

From $10,OOO Pleasure Yacht
 7he Restless Becomes a Shack on Tideflat

From the $10,O0O pleasure boat of a Seattle physician to bachelor quaI- ters of a Cordova fisherman valued at $15, is the history of launch Rest less if one consuts only the fiscal records of the Forest Service. But the Restless, which was recently relegated to the limbo of things that are not made history in the Chugach National Forest for eight years that the fiscal records are unmindful of.
 l.. c. Pratt, of the Cordova Forest Service office, moved by the fate of the gallant little boat taken from the element which it braved success fully for many years to be shored up as a shack, related a few of the in- cidents in which the Restless figured.
 In katalIa Storm
 One is contained in a clipping from the Portland (Oregon) Journal, dated September 2S, 1911. as follows:
 'SThe storm that broke over Con- troller Bay Monday night, forcing Clifford Pinchot and his party to make a difficult trip seven miles to Katalla, continued unabated Tuesday and yesterday and caused the loss of the launch Restless of the United States Forest Service.
 "The Restless was driven on the rocks by the wind and large hole was torn in her bottom. Forest Sl- nervisor Weigle, of Ketchikan; T. M. Hunt. of Cordova. and the crew had q narrow escape getting ashore.
 "Mr. Pinchot is still storm-bound at Katalla, but hopes to leave for Cordova on the steamship Bertha to- day"

Wrecked Second Time

MT Pratt then takes up the boats story: After the Katalla wreck she was repaired and again in commis- sion In 1914 misfortune overlook her again in the shape of an explo- sion which occurred in the stern tank and which wrecked the entire after end of the boat The fire quickly spread to all parts of the vessel and only by heroic efforts on the part of Rangers Mcdonald and struction.
 coIlides With Whale
 "On another occasion, while run ming through Esther Passage, the Restless had head-on collision with Ia sleeping whale, in which encoun- ter the whale took first money. The boat was so disabled it was neces- sary to beach her and make tenn porary repairs and have her lowed to Cordova.
 "The Restless was built as a pri- vate yacht in 1902 for Dr. R. N Cor. don. a wealthy Seattle physician. Her cost was about s1O,000. She was purchased by the Forest Service in 1911 and placed in commission on the Chugach
 Gaunt Old Skeleton
 Becoming unserviceable she was dismantled last fall and the hull ad- vertised for sale. And now all that remains of her is a gaunt old skele- ton shored up on the shores of a dismal tideflat where. mayhap. she dreams of the glory of past adven tures."
