Peter Monahan, pioneer Alas ka prospector, passed away suddenly from a heart attack in Valdez a few days ago.
 Monahan was one of the best known prospectors of the Val dez country His most notable discovery was the finding of placer gold on Valdez creek, which he named and which is located near the headquarters of the Susitna river. That was in 1905, or whereabouts, and the oldtimer had passed most of his time in that region since.

Improvements costing about $50O,000 and including a new two-story office building, are contemplated for Ketchikan during 1929, according to o. B. Ellis, assistant to the president of the Pacific Utilities Consol- idated Corporation. Expendi- lures definitely scheduled in- clude a new freight and pass enger steamer for the North land Transportation Go. to cost approximately $35O,O0O; re- modelling the old Northland dock, with a new warehouse building on the dock, about $50,000; additions to the Ket- chikan Cold Storage plant, about $25,00O The proposed new office building will cost in the neighborhood of $75,O0O. A new 1000 to 1900 ton, 12 to IA knot, Diesel-powered pass enger and freight boat is under consideration. It is the intent ion to place the boat on a reg ular schedule. During certain periods of the year the vessel will probably make a round trip between Seattle and Ket- chikan every week, having specified days for sailing from these points. The boat will be equipped to carry a limited number of passengers, probab- ly from forty to fifty.

There is a prospect that the Alaska railroad belt will soon have tanning plant in which it will be possible to tan all kinds of hides, according to Anchorage reports. It is the in- tention of those interested in the project to get the plant un- der way as soon as the vats and hemlock bark can be secured.
 The tannery, which will be in the nature of an experiment, will be established at the Ek- lutna industrial school of the bureau of education. The bu- reau vii lprovide the tanner and necessary labor; the vats and hemlock bark will be sup piled by the Alaska railroad; the hides by the department of agriculture.

The steamship Aleutian, fin est ship of the Alaska Steam ship fleet, struck a rock near the shore of Seymour Narrows few days ago. Within ten minutes from the time the steamship struck the rock, the life boats were swung out and the passengers placed in them, ready to be lowered at a mom- ent's notice. After striking the vessel listed to port at an angle of 45 degrees, and was about thirty feet from the rocky shore on the starboard side. A heavy current was run ming between the steamship and the shore. A rocky point was sticking out a half a boat length astern of the ship, pre- senting a menace.
 After a half hour or so, the tide began to rise, and Captain Nord gave the order, first to back little and then full steam ahead, and the big ship slid off the rock and drifted into slack water. After exam ming the hull, the Aleutian, under her own power, went to Waldron Island and anchored. The Alameda reached the scene the following day and took off the passengers, mail and the deck cargo, later re- turning to Seattle. The Aleut- ian came in a couple of hours after the Alameda on her own power.

Mrs. Dee Burke, old-timer, formerly of Ruby and Iditarod, died recently in Seattle after a short illness from a stroke of paralysis. Mrs. Burke had not been we'll for more than a year and was a victim of severe par alytic tremors, which finally resulted in her death.

There is little remaining at the old city of Iditarod. A bank, a roadhouse, postof- fice-and that is about all.
 Everything is centered about Flat City, some fifteen miles distant. It is figured that the two dredging plants now oper- ating there will have ground sufficient to last them from twelve to fifteen years.

.ORAH SENDS
SECRET Note
TO HOOVER
No End to Bitterest
Dry Controversy
In Sight

WASHINGTON, Dec. s1-F-
Contents OF a letter on prohibition
sent to President Hoover by SEN
ator -----h today were a closely
guarded secret while official Wash
ington turned to speculation on the
nature Of the senator's latest con-
tribution to the present bitter con-
troversy.
The communication was regard
ed as climaxing Borah'S participa-
tion in the current discussion, In
the course of which he had issued
two denunciatory statements. scath-
ingly arraigning the federal per-
sonnel to which prohibition en-
forcement is entrusted and had
discussed the situation personally
with the chief executive.
The White House announced the
letter b been received late yes
terday with the added statement
1t would not be made public and
that thus far no reply had been
drafted. Borah declined to reveal
what was contained In II.
Present Personnel Scored
In his previous statements, the
Idahoan. one Of Mr.. Hoover's most
prominent campaigners. asserted
the faults OF prohibition enforce
ment lay with those charged with
making the law effective and that
with the present personnel "from
top to bottom" nothing could be
done.
Later he declared saloons were
running Tide open in the turisdic-
ton of district attorney after dis
trict attorney" and charged q
scandal" exists in the admins
tration Of the alcohol permit sys-
tenn. Meanwhile, senator Borah re-
viewed the situation with PreSId-
ent Hoover at q lengthy luncheon
conference, but what was said was
not revealed, although the senator
made 1t clear his position had not
been changed.
May Contain Evidence
One view Of the letter to the
President was that II contained
evidence Of liquor law violations
which had come TO Borah's atten-
ton. In this connection, II was
recalled that when senator How
ell, republican, Nebraska, made
charges OF non-enforcement Of the
prohibition statutes In the District
OF Columbia and asserted the res
possibility lay with Mr. Hoover, he
was requested by the White House
to submit evidence supporting his
charges with the promise it would
be thoroughly investigated.
"A statement Is expected later
this week from senator Jones, re-
publican, Washington, author OF
the law providing heavy maximum
penalties for prohibition violations.
He called yesterday at the offices
OF the Hoover law enforcement
commission and after a two-hour
conference said he would make q
statement within a few days.
Meanwhile. members Of the house
pitched into the fray, providing
comment from that branch OF con-
gress heretofore noticeably lacking.
