While many tales of privation and suffering have been recelv- ed in Seward from victims of the recent storm,we believe that the most terrifying adven- ture and miraculous escape may be accorded Harry Leon ard, of Seldovia, who runs q fox ranch at Bear Cove, with his partner, Paddy Patterson. Just before the storm broke, MT. Leonard left Seldovia for his home at the cove. Arriving at a point off Yukon Island his engine broke down and he drifted before the gale with heavy seas threatening to swamp his frail craft. Dr. Bur gin, who runs fox ranch near this point, attempted to rescue Leonard by towing him, but the tow line broke and Burgin was compelled to run for Seldova, leaving Leonard to his fate.
 Arriving at Seldovia Dr. Bur gin secured the services of the Jugo-Slav, a 65-foot halibut boat, and started out to rescue Leonard.
 In the meantime MT. Leon ards boat drifted down the In let until it struck the Bluff point trap, where it was dash ed to pieces by the pounding waves. Leonard climbed up the webbing to the capping,, where with line from his wrecked ves- sel he tied himself securely ro the capping timbers. The seas at this time were washing com plete!y over the trap and the wind and rain beat upon the

 and all the members Of tne
 Presidents cabinet who visited Alaska this summer are in fay or of eliminating the Alas:;a

Likewise it provides that freight originating in Alaska destined for any port in the Un- tied States over 8 Canadian railroad must be carried in all American bottom to the initial
