Democratic Candidate for
 Congress Visiting Seward

Frank A. Boyle, democratic candi- date for delegate to Congress, arriv- ed on Saturdays train from the Inter for, leaving today on the Yukon for Cordova, Juneau and points south. MT. Boyle is very optimistic over his prospects for election, and believes that a good vote will be polled this fall for all Democratic candidates.
 Speaking of his trip to the Interior MT. Boyle said that he found mining operations in full swing with the peo- pie of Fairbanks very optimistic over the entrance of the Hammon interests in the field. This company which is represented by Norman Stines, a we'll known engineer, has finished it's sur- vey for ditches and it is reported are taking up all options on claims which they have been drilling during the past summer.
 The London-South African Explora- tion Company, represented by MT. Dwyer, has taken up it's options on practically all claims on Ester creek. These placer properties are said to be rich, and will bring prosper ity back to Fairbanks and vicinity.
 MT. Boyle visited in Nenana, Fair banks and the v,~ious creeks in the district and found spirit of optimism prevailed all camps.
 In an interview with Gateway re- porter MT. Boyle stated that he be- lieved in full Territorial form of gov ernment for Alaska and lteracy test for all voters, irrespective of race or color. Speaking of the vast sum derived from the sale of fur seals killed at the Pribilof islands, MT. Boyle declared he favored the use of this money for Territorial schools and increased pensions for aged pioneers. Some S200,000 is realized annually from this Alaskan resource, the mon- ey going to the United States treas ury and Alaska receiving no benefits whatever.
 MT. Boyle also advocates the giving of actual title to fox islands to fur farmers, holding that the recent Ter ritorial tax on this growing industry is harmful and wrong. "There is no more justice in taxing the fur farm CT than there is the agricultural farm er,' said Mir. Boyle. "And the fur farmer has as much right to title to his holding as the agricultural farmer or homesteader, as his invest ment is always much greater"

MYSTERY OF STARR SINKING IS EXPLAINED

J. P. Hannon, local Associated Press correspondent, is in receipt of wire from that service explaining the origin of the report sent out a few days ago that the steamer Starr was sunk.
 It appears that the message was caught at San Francisco from the steamship President Madison. The message the President Madison re- ceived should have rightly read to the effect that the Starr had arrived at Sanak, but in taking the report, the wireless operator did not get the last "a" in the word Sanak, which made it read sank"
 The day the report was broadcast, J. P. Hannon received a wire from the Associated Press asking for full particulars regarding the laundering of the vessel.
 The Associated Press sent wire of congratulations to Captain Johan- son on the fact that the report was erroneous.

SALVATION ARMY PLAN
 WORK IN NORTHLAND

Captain F. Dorin, secretary and Staff Captain w. J. Carruthers for Salva- tion Army work in Alaska paid a visit recently to Petersburg. The Captain reports that the progress of work is very satisfactory. Con- siderable improvement in the Ar my's buildings is being made this year including renovation of the hall in Petersburg.
 Ketchikan now has a very praise worthy hall and living quarters. It is the object of the Army to make improvement each year until all the buildings are in real serviceable condition. The Salvation Army though Ia comparatively young organization has enjoyed a very remarkable growth. It was founded by Will fam Catherine Booth in July 1865. in Fast London.
 The society was called "The Chris titan Mission," and spread to many cities. In 1878, adopting a military plan of organization, with uniforms and other distinctive features, it became The Salvation Army.
 When the founder died in 1912, it was at work in fifty-nine coun- tries and colonies. It is now estab- lisned in seventy-nine countries, and it's officers are proclaiming the Gospel in fifty-three languages. Twenty thousand officers give their whole time to the work, and forty thousand bandsmen give much of their spare time in furnishing the music, without receiving pay-the happiness and satisfaction derived from service to mankind being their chief reward.

WILD REPORT SENT OUT ABOUT LOSS OF
 STEAMSHIP STARR

On Saturday cable message was received by the Gateway from our Se- attle correspondent stating that the President Madison, of the Pacific s. s. Co.'S Oriental line, had picked up an s. o. s. from the steamship Starr, the little bulldog of the seas plying from Seward to Unalaska with mail and passengers, had foundered. The Pres ident Madison was bound from Seat tie to Yokohama at the time, and the report was sent broadcast to all wire less stations.
 The Gateway held up the dispatch as many members of the Starr's crew have families here, and it was thought needless to alarm them until the facts were known. The Starr has been re- ported sunk on an average of two or three times a winter, and each time the rumor has proven false. Later reports came in that the Starr had re- ported her position at eight o'clock Saturday night to the Canadian radio station at Estevan, on the vest coast of Vancouver Island. Manager Hen derson, of Seward, also received a stating the boat was all right and had message from Capt. o. A. Johansen, been in no danger whatever, nor had it sent out any s. o. s. MT. Tender son also received a message this morn ing stating that the Starr had just left Chignik on her way in to Seward and would be here some time Thurs day or Friday.
 There is no doubt that the Starr is safe and that it will take more than storm, fog and rumor to down the intrepid little craft. The radio sta- tions are still inquiring as to the iden- tity of the boat sending out the call.

John Sorvick, Cook on
 Gas Boat Delaware, Is
 Drowned at Tutka Bay

The remains of Jahn Paulsen Sor- wick were brought to Seward Satur- day afternoon by the gas boat Della ware from the San Juan Fishing & Packing Company's plant at Tutka Bay.
 The late MT. Sorvick was employed by the San Juan Company as cook on the Delaware and after preparing breakfast for the following morning he went on deck sometime during the night of September 18th and presum- ably in crossing from the boat to the scow, which was tied alongside, he slipped and fell overheard. No alarm was given and as he was the last man to retire his absence was not noted until the following morning when search was instituted and his remains were found close to the stern of the Delaware.
 Deceased was born in Norway, Feb ruary II, 1891, and was the son of Mir. and Mrs. Paul Sorvik of Trondh- jem, Norway and leaves three brothers and three sisters to mourn his loss. As far as is known he had no relatives in the United States. MT. Sorvick has been employed by the San Juan Com pany at Saw Mill Bay and Tutka bay as cook for the past season and he was an able worker and well-liked by all who knew him.
 Funeral services were held this morning from the Seward Chapel and the remains were inferred at Wood lawn Cemetery. Mrs. R. V. B. Dun lap conducted appropriate services, the employees of the local San Juan plant acted as pallbearers.

Late reports received from the Westward tell of the murder of a native at Sanak, during quarrel with another man, over a woman.
 No definite news of the tragedy can be secured other than the two men were alone at the time of the quarrel, but from what can be learn ed, the native had a deep cut in his head as though he had been beaten to death. Marshal Dan Ross of Un- alaska left immediately for the scene of the killing and will be a passenger on the next Starr from the Westward on his way to Valdez with the prison CT.
