J.SAARIKOSKI
 IS DROWNED

John Saarikoski, age 61, was drowned near Wrangell, Friday night, May 16. The manner of the drowning is not known exactly. MT 5aarikoski and his son, John, were returning from Woodpeeker Cove with a tow of wood logs. They an chored in the bay on Vanks island near Two Tree island. The son wished to spend the night there, but the father was eager to get back to Wrangell A line was passed from the sons gasboat to the fathers gasboat and the logs were in tow from the latter boat. Before Ieav- ing the cove at Vanks island, John Saarikoski asked his father if he wheel for a while, as he was very tired. As time went by and his la ther did not appear John decided he was not coming. His first intima- tion of any trouble was when he mo- ticed the engine had stopped in his fathers boat. He went back and found his father gone from the boat, and the skiff also was gone. He brought the boats and tow into Wrangell and arranged for help to go back and search the beaches. L. Retzloff arrived in town Saturday forenoon with the missing skiff which he had found near Zarembo ilsand. It was partly filled with wa ter and the oars were still in the locks. The supposition is that Mir Saarikoski slipped as he was step ping into the skiff and as he could not swim, was drowned very shortly The beaches of nearby islands were searched for several days, but 1t is considered doubtful if the body is ever recovered, as a strong current runs from Vanks island down past Zarembo.
 John Saarikoski was born in Fin land in 1869. He left Helsingfors, where he worked as a locksmith, and came to the United States In 1902, making his headquarters at Aber- deen, Wash, where his family joined him in 1911. After coming to this country he engaged in the fishing business. The family moved to Wrangell in 1917 where during the years MT. Sarikoski was known as a man of sterling qualities honest and upright in all his dealings with his fellowmen.
 He is survived by two sons, John and Tuovi of Wrangell, and two daughters, Miss Lempi SaarikosH of Wrangell and Mrs. L. D. Moore of Bellevue, Wash. His wife passed away on November IT, 1927.
 Memorial services will be held as a part of the morning prayer serv- ices at St. Philips Episcopal church, Sunday morning, May 25, at 1O:45 o'clock.
