OAxACO HERE: SATURDAY ON
 ALASKA TRIP
Owner Is C. Allan Han cock, Financial Backer
 Australian Flight

The Oaxaeo, G. Allan Hancock, owner, arrived in port from Les Angeles early Saturday evening with q party of Californians visit ing Southeastern Alaska. A party of fourteen is aboard the boat and is making a one-month cruise.
 G. Allan Hancock is retired Los Angeles capitalist, and is the man who offered the necessary fl. nancial aid 10 the Southern Cross, the plane which made the famous flight from Oakland to Australia. He is one of the richest men in Southern California, is much inter- ested in aviation, and is owner of the Santa Maria railroad and also an oil company.
 Enroute north, stops were made in Ketchikan, where the Oaxaco anchored in the stream for short time, and before that a Westmins ter, B. C., where special con- signment of several hundred tons of freight was unloadad.
 The Oaxaco is over 1900 ton ]; gross, nearly 900 feet in length, and was built by Great Britain during the. World war, as one of the mystery ships. Since that time she has been rebuilt, and is now used to carry freight from Los Angeles to Mexico. A crew )f 2S men is carried.
 The Oaxaco left Los Angeles three weeks ago today. Before coming into the harbor a short trip was made to Taku glacier where a few icebergs were picked up. and while further down the coast a seal was captured and is being kept alive aboard the Oax- aco.
 Early this morning she left for Skagway, and expects to return here within a few days enroute south. On the return journey, stops will be made for hunting and fishing. Upon her arrival in Van couver, B. C., she will take aboard another party and set sail for Alas ka again, going over approximately the same course.
 The party on the Oaxaco is well cared for. The boat is palatiallJ outfitted to carry passengers. an ! has numerous deluxe rooms There are four frigidaires in the galley, frigidaire ice cream cabinet in the buffet and a frigidaire cod room to house supplies.

The steel framing was installed
to prevent structural sagging.
The house is intended to convince

and thinks a great deal of his
religion.
He is now attending school
evenings, and of course it takes

week-ends he has only called on
me one of the evenings. He
either has to attend school or
church.

Are you acquainted with the

about which they are enthusiastic.
If they respond cordially to your
friendly interest, by all means

at your home.
1t is foolish for you to feel you
