SAN JUAN COMPANY D|sPLEAsEO ATTITUDE
 COAST GUARD VESSEL

Favoring the Seward Chamber of Commerce with a reply to the chambers letter and copy of wire, relative to the petition for station ing a coast guard cutter in South west Alaska, the following letter was read at yesterdays business meeting and luncheon:
 we for some time have felt the way you do, that there was need for another coast guard vessel stationed either at Seward or Cordova and we will make every effort to have another steamer as- signed to that duty. We were very much disappointed in the assist ance that we received from the "Unalga" stationed at Juneau, par ticularly from the fact that after the commander of the ''Unalga" found the Alameda was ahead of them and they would not reach the distressed vessel until after the Alameda" arrived, they did not leave at all but stayed at Juneau.
 If the "Unalga" had gone, as we feel she should have, in all probability she could have helped the Steamer Alameda" with the Starr, but due to the poor ser vice rendered during the last couple of weeks, we do not know how much assistance she will be.
 We assure you we are going to put every effort forth to try and obtain another coast guard cutter to take care of distressed vessels to the Westward. Thanking you for our interest in the matter, we are, San Juan Fishing & Packing Go. Seattle, Wash.

RAILROAD WITH SAILS

Funny the Chicago Tribune which is unhappy un- less they attacking the Alaska Railroad has not thot of advising Congress to equip the railroad with sails means of economical operation. Such sight at least American railroad nearly 100 years ago, about the length of time Chicago wishes to set Alas ka back.
 Leaving jokes to the Tribune, however, the sail equpt train embraced the rolling stock of the Pont- chartran Railroad from New Orleans north claiming to be the first railroad to be completed in the United States Here is another thought for the Tribune: The motive power was supplied by horses until 1885, when the first steam engine was secured But matter of precaution for while thereafter the locomotive and cars were equipped with sails for in of engine failure

The woman had abandoned her affec-
tation of lazy amusement and had burst
into a rage. She had sprung to her
feet and was fairly pouring vituperation
over Forster by the bucketful. 1t was
plain that he was terrified of her. II
she'd been less absorbed in her own pas
sion, she must have seen that he was
signaling for help, for, feebly but with
no concealment at all, he was looking
and waving his shaky hand straight
toward where Martin and Rhoda stood.
There was a comic element In this
scene which Martin had been enjoying,
but now the woman made move which
startled him. She stepped back out of
the possible reach OF Forster's hand and,
snatching up her wrist bag from the
corner of the desk, jerked it open.
IF she's got gun in that bag, she'll
shoot him." Martin said to Rhoda, and
would have jumped for the little door
which led into the room, if she hadn't
stopped him by clutching his arm.
mo, she WON'T" she told him. Its a
letter she's looking for. I wish she
would shoot him, though. I'd like to
myself. He deserves it,
She had told what the woman's in
tentions were with degree of conf
dence that was almost convincing. All
the same, it struck Martin as rather
uncanny, when, seconds after Rhoda
had finished speaking, he saw Claire
actually produce letter from her wrist
bag and, still taking care to keep out
OF Forster's reach, begin reading it
aloud to him.
"Rhoda, darling" he cried, chow did
you know she was going to do that?"
She stood looking at him now, face
flushed, eyes bright with tears, leaving
the scene they had been watching so
intently to play itself out unregarded.
Il know all about it now" She stood
wavering moment, and then came into
his arms again, clinging to him. He
couldn't make out the muff1ed words
very well, but he thought she was say
ing, Aren't you glad we know? Aren'b
you glad the nightmares over?"
Mystifled, but none the less blissful,
he said he was, and, as he bent down
over her, she held up her face for his
kiss with simplicity that brought UNI
expected tears into his eyes, This was
something settled. anyhow, for good.

them-Conley's. They'd forgotten his
very existence and had allowed him to
come to and work out of his bonds at
leisure. There could be no doubt of his
intentions, particularly toward Martin.
as he came bounding up the steps to-
ward them, but an cutlery and gesture
from Rhoda DETECTED his attention
toward what was happening in the big
room. e
Forster, rummaging desperately with
his half-palsied hands in the Shallow
drawer of his desk, had pulled out a
long-barreled, old-fashioned revolver
and when, directed by Rhoda's cry. thew
looked, they saw the old man irving TO
point it at Claire. She flung herself
upon him and grappled with him for
the possession of it. This was a clear
caH Tor professional duty for the detec-
tive and he abandoned, though with Wis
IDLE reluctance, the private project with
Martin to go to the rescue, Springinr

ley was by now well along the
road to recovering consciousness. In
another minute be might again be for

learn why Rhoda didn't come, he saw
her gazing out through the glass with
the utmost intentness. bright-eyed with
excitement, utterly oblivious to their
pressing need for haste.

She answered without turning her

If Martin could have been sure that
he dared leave the PROSTATE detective
long enough to dash back, pick Rhoda
up and carry her out by force, he would
probably have done it. He'd have liked
to do it. He was furious with her just
then. But already Conley was trying to
get to his feet. Martin had just time
to bestride him and drop hard with
both knees on the small of the mans
back. In almost the same instant he
~snatched his wrists and pulled them
around so that they crossed behind his
