 The "Missinglink" now proud- ly riding at her mooring, the pride of Hardscratch and the Shumigan Islands.
 The "Missinglink" is only 20 feet over all, 6 feet beam and 2 feet draft. She is especially de- signed for salmon fishing or salmon poachlng, or pirating, which means the same thing nowadays in this part of Alaska. She is powered With a second hand 4 horse power, Cliff gaso- line engine, (the Shumagin Is land fishermen cannot afford to buy anything new in that line) and brand new Armstrong" Motor, homemade. The gaso- line engine is intended for use during clear weather, when the fish warden, (the enemy) can be seen at a safe distance, and before he is able to pick up the "Missinglink" with it's low free board. In foggy weather, when the enemy cannot be seen before he is too close for safety, the Armstrong" Motor is used ex- clusively, as fish enough cannot be caught outside the limit to pay for oil and gas.
 The model of the Missing link' is a cross between a dory, a V-bottom boat and a submarine. If chased by the enemy, the shallow draft and submarine quality of the ''Missinglink" en- ables it to run into shallow Wa-

 I, of course, would have you understand that I am in favor of a workman's compensation act for Alaska and I raise no question regarding amounts fix ed in the present law for injury or death but I believe the whole get most unscientif1c hodge, podge and should be changed to conform with the cooperative methods that have been adopted by many of the States. I believe the revenues of the Territory are ample to allow participation by the Territory in the payment of compensation to injured work men.
 It is possible that other busi- ness organizations in Alaska may take this matter up and make it an issue for the next election of legislative members. It seems to me that laboring men throughout Alaska should be informed regarding the

PE0PLED STORIES
 WITH IRISH GHOSTS ]. p. 0'Brien Also Saw White
 Elephants in Big Wools'

With the passing Of the late James Patrick O'Brien Thursday Of this Ueek New Britain lost one Of the last ot the famous Irish group who entertained with ghost stories.
 Mr. O'Brien was one Of New Britain's most interesting citizens He had the most convincing way Of telling wcirl tales. His stories concerned white elephants in the "big woods" which at that time occupied the territory north Of La salle street. He'd tell the neighJors he had just come from the woods and it was full Of these s'rang animals.
 IL vas not an uncommon sight on warm summer nights for q crowd Of youngsters 10 gather about him and with widc-eyed amazemeut listen to his harraisng stories Of incide1ts which happened al old Irish wakes
 One Of his storles concerned q beautiful Irish colleen who was loved by all the people Of the town. She was claimed by death and the wake was held. MT. O'Bricn sail he was going 10 the wake and when he arrived in front Of the house hc sa " the girl come out the door She passed him without saying q word. T went into the house and was immed ately taken to the casket by relatives and 10 my amazcnent I found her therc.' he said. He came 70 the conclusion that the girl he saw outside the house must la c been 2 ghost.
 He was also noted for his wit A story which is now well known in the northern section originated with him many years ago. He told Of 4 cobbler who was assigned 10 watch over dead" man during the night. It was ara nged previously and the man in the casket acted the part of the corpse. At an arrarg grd hour when the cobbler was alone with the man the latter WIS supposed 10 rise in his casket and speak to the frightened ca~etaker. The time ar flNe1 ana vhf1 fhe supposed drT1 man arose the cohbler hit him wit 2 hammer. saying: '1f yor were not deod before. you're dead now"
