SEATTLE, Oct. 10.-Unable to find a trace of the mogor ship Kennecott, which crashed on the rocks at Fred erick island, about II miles below Cape York, on the Queen Charlotte group, the steamship Cordova near the scene of the wreck flashed radio message this morning that the ill., fated vessel had probably slipped from her cradle on the rocks and sunk.
 No mention was made of the fate Of the officers and crew of the Ken necott, 31 in all, was made in the dis patches, but it is probable that they left the vessel and are established in camp on the shores of Frederick island, or on Graham island near by.
Seward daily gateway., 1923-10-13

SEATTLE, Oct. 1.-The motorship Kennecott is lying broadside on the beach in Kano Inlet, near Hunter point on the southwestern shores of Graham island. according to wireless dispatches received today by the Alas ka Steamship Company. The crew were taken off by the U. 5. coast guard cutter Unalga and the freighter Cordova.
 Kano inlet is about 50 miles south by east of Frederick island, and the supposition is that the crew of the Kennecott worked her off the reef and as far as the inlet. in order to salv- age her cargo.
 Hunter point is the northwest ex' treme of Skidegate channel, between Moresby and Graham islands. It is rather low and rugged point with high land at the back A dangerous reef extends a mile off the point.
 Kano Inlet opens out northward from Hunter Point and Kindukun point is two miles wide and extends inland 1 to 6 miles to near base of 2000 foot mountains. The shores are rocky with river and fine sandy beach at it's head.

There is one consolation to

vice president, ready to take up
the duties of chief executive,
just where President Harding
was forced to lay them down.
Calvin Coolidge is man of few
words, but demonstrated while
governor Of Massachusetts, that
be is a man of force in action.
President Coolidge while vice
president attended cabinet meet
ings religiously, he kept III close
touch with the affairs of govern
ment and with President Hard
ings' administration. He will
not be st sea in taking up the
executive duties, but thoroughly
conversant with them.
President Coolidge's first state
ment was:
1t will be my purpose to carry
out the policies which be has
begun for the service of the
American people and for meet.

THE TAFT REALTY COMPANY

Los Angeles, Aug. 6. - The
Taft Realty Company of Holly
wood, during the week announc-
ed the opening of a new depart
ment TO handle lands, mining
and other business propositions
along the West Coast of Mexico
in the states of Sonora, Sinaloa
and Nayarit.
This venture has been in the
course of formation for several
months. 1t was only recently
that 3. Y. Taft, Chester A. Taft
and George w. Zent, represent
ing the Taft Realty Company,
returned from a trip through
these three states and announc-
ed that the company had secur.
ed the services of l.. E. Thomp-
son of Culiacan, Sinaloa, to take
charge of their Hollywood Office.
,Mr. Thompson for the last
twelve years has been actively
engaged in Mexican affairs, hav-
ing operated a large hacienda
known as the Las Tracas in the
Culiacan Valley, and at the same
time be has been actively en-
gagged in the real estate and
Mexican title business. For
many years MIR. Thompson was
resident of Los Angeles and
engaged in the practice of law
in this city.
Mr.. Thompson's work will be
aided by the CO operation of the
Taft Realty Company Office at
Nogales, Arizona, where the
company has recently purchased
prominent business corner and
have remodeled the building in
to modern office building. No.
gales, being the port of entry
from Arizona to the West Coast,
this town was selected as the
most likely place for an office to
handle Mexican property. The
Nogales office is to be managed
by r. II. Hunter, who has resid-
ed there for the past seven or
eight years and has been engag-
ed in different kinds of business.
The company has also secured
the services of Clifford r. Burr
as their travelling representative
to Mexico. Mr.. Burr was born
and raised at Los Mochis, Sina.
loa, and educated at the Univer-
sity of Southern Arizona. His
headquarters for the Taft Realty
Company WILDE at Topic, the
capital of Nayarit, Mazatlan,
Sinaloa, the seaport for the
West Coast of Mexico, and Los
Mochis, Sinaloa.
Speaking of the new depart.
ment, Mr.. Taft said. we have
taken a lot of time and gone to
/ a great amount of expense to
form our Mexican organization
because our greatest aim has
been to. perfect such an organi-
cation as would be able to render
the very best and most reliable
service, The possibilities in
Mexico are almost unlimited but
there are many things which the
prospective investor shouldknow
and conditions with which he
should be honestly acquainted
before he invests his money or
goes there to live. We have
great faith in the future devel-
opment of that country Or we
would not be going to the ex.
pense of creating this depart.
ment. We feel that Mexico of.
fers one of the best places in the
world for an organization like
ours to render real service"

There is letter in today's issue of The News which shows what is being done to dis courage travel down the Yukon, below Dawson. Travellers arriving in Ncnana last summer, by way of the Yukon River, told of efforts made by White Pass offcias to discourage travel beyond Dawson. And the letter referred to is a fair sample of the anti-Alaskan propaganda originating in the offices of the Canadian Pacific-propag ganda desgined to keep all of the tourist money on the Canadian side of the boundary.
 Outsiders should be made aware of tne fact that they can make the trip down the Yukon River and return to the coast by way of the Alaska Railroad. Schedules should be insisted upon, which will enable travellers to make connection at Dawson with steamers for Nenana, coming this way, and with steamers for Whitchorse, going the other way. And if the White Pass will not enter into such an agreement, their boats should be driven from American waters.
 The White Pass, in spite of the fact that it has the backing of American capital, is not friendly to Alaska and the Alaska Rail road It has done more to depopulate the h. teror than all of Alaska's other handlcaps combined, and has never overlooked an oppor- tunitv to delay and discourage the building of the Alaska Railroad. And now that the railroad is completed and bidding for traffic, the White Pass is conspiring with it's Canadian ally to confine all of the Interior tourist travel to the White Pass route, terminating at Dawson.
 The American Government, which is behind Alaska should not permit this condition to continue The fact that the railroad is now linked up with a fleet of steamers operating on the upper Yukon should be widely adver- tised, and the Government boats should be held in readiness to make proper connections in the event of the failure of the White Pass Ito do so Alaskans are thoroughly d'seusted with White Pass domination, and it is clearly up to the Government to assert itself. to save the Interior and to insure the success of the Alaska Railroad-Nenana Newc.

ALASKA LOSING ITS BEST ASSET

Alaska is rapidly losing its last asset. II our weather bureaus do not perk up and eX- ert themselves our climate will become so mild it will enervate, and school books and eeographies showing an Eskimo diving for his igloo with a polar bear nippng at his store of dog feed, will be changed to r-clad senoritas leaning on an ice-covered balcony, while an Alaskan Don Juan perpetuates jazz on a whalebone doodad.
 Picture postcards will no longer show the village cutup, swathed in furs, starting out of range of the camera, with sled piled high with empty cracker boxes. Ice worms and glacier borers will become extinct, and we will drop into the class of mediocrity, simply because our climate is changing.
 The past year or two the mercury in Seward has had to take calisthenics to get to the zero mark, and silk hose and furbeows are coming out of mothballs and showing up be meath feminine parkas and fur caps.
 There is no apparent reason for the change unless it is because our citizens get so warm when they think of the bureaucratic methods of Washington that they do not need any climate.--Seward Gateway.
The Cordova daily times., 1923-02-19
RIVER MONOPOLY

Alaska will never have a fair chance as long as the White Pass is permitted to dom- inate the waters of the Interior. The White Pass and the Canadian Pacific clearly have entered into combination in restraint of travel Everything possible is being done by both companies to divert tourists from the Government Railroad and the American steam ship companies operating out of Seward. If there is any travel down the Yukon River next summer below Dawson, it will be in spite of these two companies rather than the result of cooperation with the Alaska Railroad

LAUGHTER

Paris has to have its daily thrill, and just now folks over there are busied with the ques ton of whether they are forgetting how to laugh. The war, some say, has given to the Frenchmen a serious air. and has robbed him of that debonair gaiety for which he has been always proverbial.
 About the most sensible bit in the discus sion has been offered by a comedy actress. French folk never did laugh as much as the Americans, she says, because they are more sophisticated They smile, they are witty, but they seldom break into that thunderous laughter which so often stirs American theaters.
 No American can go to a good comic movie and merely smile. It's the Yankee way of doing things to let the laughter out, and to let it out noisi1y. The Tanks laughed their way over the Hindenburg line Americans haven't come smiling through 1922. They've come laughing through it. Americans and laughter. And don't be afraid to let it sound!
