Wrangell Girl is
 Lost from Boat

Miss Ruth Nellie Rineha~t,, a
 nurse, 21 ears old, a native ot
 Wrangell, Alaska, bound for Se- sttle, is believed to have been washed overheard from the Steamship Princess Louise which has reached here.
 Miss Rinehart graduated from a Portland, Oregon, nursing school and returned to Wrangell two months ago.
 Officers of the steamer said she would not heed warnings to go below when high seas were encountered last Sunday night on Queen Charlotte. The next morning Miss Rinehart was
 missing. She was in good health and happy with $500 on her Ierson. She planned to return to Portland to help a younger sister thru school. Foul play is feared.
 Nellie visited in Petersburg last week and expressed herself as being especially happy over returning to her work in Port land and to the man with whom she had planned to marry and build home. She had been working in the Wrangell hospital during the summer in place of Mrs. Steven Grant who was ill.
 She is survived by her par ents Mrs. Lloyd Rhinehart and Thomas Nagel of Wrangell and Hydaburg and by several young er sisters and brothers. A young CT sister Myrtle is in Portland also studying to be a nurse.
 News of the death of Nellie is . severe blow to her friends and relatives as she was girl of promise and a fine future. She fought against the greatest of odds and in spite of environ ment that pulled down rather than built up decent womanhood and won her fight with the greatest of credit. Her demise is a severe loss to her people in and sympathy is extended to her many friends and rela- tiVeS.

WILLIAM PUAL'S
BOAT BURNED


 Shortly after one o'clock to- day a gasboat belonging to Will liam L. Paul of Ketchikan lying at the float near the Citizens Wharf caught fire from the back-fring of the engine and the resulting blaze proved ex- ceedingly difficult to control. Fortunately, the gas tanks are at the stern of the boat farthest from the flames and it was pos sible to go aboard the burning craft with some measure of safety. After chemical fire ex- tinguishers had failed to extin- guish the flames (although a number of them were used) the vessel was sWamped by chopping through the planking. It is inn possible to estimate at this time the amount of the damage but it is thought the damage to the hull will not be great. The boat is cruiser, 40 feet over all powered with a 100 horse Pierce Arrow. Ye Alaskan force turned firemen and we offer this as ar excuse for going to press a bii Hate.

VIII Glue Aid
 To Industry

c. T. Gardner, Republican
 nominee for Senator in the Ter
 ritorial legislator, while in Ket- chikan, made a statement which is supported and meets with the full accord of the balance of the Republican ticket. They will work in full accord on this principle which he had incOr- porated in the Republican plat form and which has to do with aiding the development of the lumber industry which has been hard hit in the States and es- pecially in Alaska.
 As a result of poor markets and drastic bureau regulations, many logging camps in South eastern Alaska have been forced to suspend operations this year This condition is contributing materially to the unemploy- ment in this district and it is his hope that the legislature will be able, in some measure, to all leViate the difficulties faced by the industry because these tend to react indirectly on other activities.
 Mir Gardner, in expressing his views, is also expressing the un- animous opinion of the entire Republican ticket We quote his statement.
 "One of the chief reasons for the falling off in lumber con- sumption is found in the de- crease of salmon box use. Can nerS in Southeastern Alaska have been buying fiber boxes for containers, as . substitute for the wooden boxes that in the past have kept more mills busy
 The box safes alone do not account for the depression, but it is well known that healthy sales of wood salmon boxes en- ableS mills to k1ep up operation, manufacturing high grade lum- Der which, put on conlpeti- tive markets, means the ship ment of much Alaska material to the states. This of course re- acts favorably in all industries making headquarters in Alaska. The fact that the canneries have withdrawn much of their sup port means that many mills must shut down, and for that reason unable to manufacture other lumber products for pos sible export.
 If I am elected" declared MT. Gardner, T will work for legis- latiye aid in overcoming these unsatisfactory conditions, and if it is possible I will help make it more advantageous for the can neries to make use of the wood en boxes in the future"

LABOR DEPT. PROBE
 FOR JOB AGENCIES
Charge Employment Bureaus Get
 High Fees for Nothing

Hartford, Sept. 27 Complaints ployment agencies and employers have made an arrangement where by job seekers are given employ ment for only a sufficient time to have his wages equal the fee charg- ed by the agency. are being investi- gated by State Labor Commissioner Harry E. Mackenzie. Summons are to be served on the employment agencies and they will be called upon to explain their actions in a series of hearings to be held next week. The commissioner predicts that he will suspend the licenses of any agency found to have taken advan- tage of out of work laborers.
 Commissioner Mackenzie indicat- ed that at the 1881 session of legis- lature he would seek authority for his department to regulate the fees charged by employment agencies.
 One man complained that he had answered the agency's ad for a skilled mechanic and was told the fee would be SIS. They then sent him to a Hartford plant but he found no opening. He charges that the employment agency was gam bling on the hope of his being en- ployed and sought to collect SIS for no real servi2e.
 Another man paid an agency fee of S6 for job that lasted d single day. Many complaints have also been received from women who as sert the agencies have charged them fees amounting to 25 ~x cent of their weekly pay for securing them office jobs.

REPUBLICANS WILL
 ARGUE PLATFORM
Wet Plank ArouSeS Great h.
 tereSt in Massachusetts

Boston. Sept. 27 P-Republicans of Massachusetts gathered in con- vention here today with The question of the inclusion of a prohibition plank in the party platform still un- settled.
 The resolutions committee of the convention announced that the com- promise prohibition plank decided upon last night would be redrafted before the convention opened this morning. An early morning confer ence of republican leaders and mem bers of the committee brought forth the announcement
 Plank Proposed
 The compromise plank was "a general declaration in favor of the enforcement of all laws, with pro- vision which recognizes the right of individuals to work openly and in ordinary fashion for the repeal of such legislation as they may not ap- prove" It was offered in an effort to hold the wet" members of the committee in line and failed miser- ably in it's purpose.
 It was understood that Louis K. Liggett, republican national com- mitteeman, last night told Congress- man Robert c. Luce, chairman of the resolutions committee that he would resign unless the party took a definite standing on prohibition-and avoided straddle. Leaders of the vets and drys alike were equally in- sistent that the party take a definite stand on the prohibition question and a terrific battle on the conven- ton floor today loomed in the offing.
 Former Senator William M. But Ter, candidate. for United States sen- ator; Governor Frank G. Allen and Chairman Amos L. Taylor of the re- publican state committee. conferred on the contents of the tentative com promise plank early today but reach ed no definite decision.
 To Offer Battle
 As the situation now stands, the extremists were expected to offer a fight on the convention floor. The moderationists early today express ed themselves as satisfied with the compromise.
 It was believed that the resolu- tions committee might offer a plank which would include a declaration that the party will be in better position ito legislate after the Wick ersh1n commission has issued it's re- port.
