NEW HARDWARE
 COMBINE BUYS JUNEAU YOUNG
Local Hardware Store Ac- quired by Ketchikan
 and Juneau Company

Under the terms of a deal now being consummated, Ketchikan in- terests are combining with Juneau capital and entering the local hard ware and furniture field, two of the largest concerns in Southeast Alaska handling those commodi- ties are to be consolidated, and their operations will be enlarged. This was revealed this afternoon by Glenn Darlington, who is here representing the Ketchikan inter- ests in the transaction and who is prominent in the development.
 Briefly, MT. Darlington, his long, time business associates John w. Jones and J. B. Warrack, and J. R. Hickman, pioneer Ketchikan business man, are acquiring large interest in the Juneau-Young Hard ware Company through a holding company which will also take over the hardware and furniture depart ments of J. R. Heckman and Com pany of Ketchikan.
 Change Effective Now
 The change is now in progress. Inventories were today being made here and were expected to be com pleted by Sunday evening. After this work is finished locally, MT. Car rington will proceed to Ketchikan and begin a similar task in the Hickman firm.
 Oliver M. Olson, who took over the c. w. Young Hardware Com pany and Juneau Harware Company five years ago, consolidating the two stores, and who has been in charge of the management of the business since that time will retain his con- nection with the firm. He and H, L. Faulkner, who was substantial stockholder in the Juneau Young Company, will be stockholders in the holding company of the new enterprise.
 Owing to MT. Olsons illhealth, : however, he will retire from active management of the local store. MT. Jones will come here shortly to assume control at least for the time being. We will make no changes in the personnel Of the company's staff of employees, and will continue the same policies 1t has pursued" MT. Darlington said. Betterments Are Promised
 However, through the consolida- ton of the two businesses, we Will be enabled to effect material bet terments in buying methods as well as in marketing, and this undoubt- edly will give both Juneau and Ketchikan the very best of facili- ties in the lines of merchandise we handle. One of the immediate improvements to be made in Juneau will be the enlargemnt of the fur niture department of the local store.
 MT. Jones IS now VlSltlIlg lo"ei Pacific Coast cities and he has been requested to make large pur- chases of new stock which will ar rive in the near future" he added.
 MT. Jones is an experienced hard ware and furniture man and worked in those departments for the Heck man corporation at Ketchikan. He also had charge of the same firms mortuary for several years.
 Associated Seven Years
 He came to Alaska about 10 years ago. MT Darlington first came to the Territory in 1915, and since that time has acquired heavy property holdings, mainly at ket-

 AERIAL CRAFT ALOFT
Country Is Secured by Searchers Without Fur
 ther Trace of Lost Trio


 The fate of Pilot E. J. A. (Paddy) Burke and his two companions, Emil Kading and Bob Marten, still remains a mystery.
 Pilot Everett WassOn and Guide Joe Walsh returned to WhitehOrse yesterday after noon at 12:30 o'clock in their plane, after an absence of seven days. and reported they had been to Burke's plane, found a note left by the three men, had flown over the country, and visited one In- dian camp, but no trace of the missing men had been found.
 Advices of the return of Pilot Wasson to Whitehorse was first received by The Empire from the Agent of the White Pass and Yu- ! kon Route at Whitehorse, and fur ther information was received to- day fem Clarence M. Sands, spec lal representative of The Empire at Atlin, B. c.
 Note Is Found Correspondents Sands dispatch to The Empire follows:
 Have just received the following telegram from Pilot Wasson who has returned to Whitehorse from Paddy Burke's search:
 "I landed on a lake 16 miles from Burke's plane Walsh and myself snowshoed over to the plane and found it undamaged
 No written note was left in Burke's plane but on tree at their camp 50 yards from the plane, we found this message carv- ed-Let' for Wolfe Lake October seventeenth. Need food badly. Sign ed Paddy, Bob and Emil. We could find no sign of any of the men between plane and Wolfe Lake.
 At Indian Camp
 also landed at an Indian camp 50 miles down the river from Burke's plane and the Indians re- ported Burke had flown over their camp looking for a landing place on the lake but the lake was frozen at the time"
 "Wasson reports four feet of snow in the vicinity of Burke's plane.
 Things COW look very bad as Frank Dorbandt and Everett Was son saw no signs of life on Wolfe Lake"
 The information received by the Whitehorse Agent was nearly the same.
 Six Days at Plane
 According to the note carved, Burke and his companions un- doubtedly remained at the plane for six days as they left Liard Post October II on what was to have been their return flight to Atlin, B. c.
 On Monday. November 24, Pilot Wasson returned to Whitehorse after conducting thorough search for Bureks plane. He found the plane frozen in on the headwaters of the Laird River but owing to the condition of the country and the ice on the river, was unable to land. He returned to White horse, as his gasoline supply was running low, and reported finding the plane, giving rise to new hopes that Burke and his two compan- ions would be found alive.
 Wasson hopped off on his sec ond search Thanksgiving Day. reached the plane again but has found no trace of the missing men.
 There is probability expressed in some quarters that Burke might have travelled toward Pelly Post on the Upper Pelly River.
 Pilot WaSson is awaiting further instructions, at Whitehorse before starting out again on search or returning to Mayo. his headquart- CTS.
 No intimation is given in any of the dispatches as to why Burke was forced down,

Mansfield on Texas Gulf Coast
Harbors

Congressman Joseph j. Mansfield Of Texas is the
ranking minority member Of the rivers and harbors
committee. This committee is said to be paving the
way for a very large appropriation for the improve
ment Of waterways and harbors. He stressed in a
speech on the new bill the vast Importance Of Texas
harbors in the water commerce of the United States.
He declared that since the development Of rail lines
In the Southwest and Of the Gulf ports in Texas the
water commerce had grown to such an extent that
in 1928, Of the total exports Of the United States,
amounting to s5.o34 y973, 142. the ports Of Texas had
handled ssl7. 002, 0S2, or nearly one-sixth. In point Of
exports, Mansfield declared, Texas was second in the
list Of states. New York holding first position with
her harbors more than 200 years old. This excerpt
from the Mansfield address should be Of interest to
all Texans:
The traffic that actually passed through the Tex
as Gulf ports originating chiefly In Oklahoma, Kan
sas, Colorado, New Mexico. Texas, totaled ~44,943,526
tons. The major portion Of this went into the export
and outgoing coastwise trade. Imports were small,
being but little more than one million tons. Cotton
for many years constituted the chief item Of COM
merce passing through the ports Of Texas. The ship
ments In 1928 were 1,545, 845 tons, the equivalent Of
e.lss.5s bales. This cotton was produced primarily
In Texas and Oklahoma. and represented about AZ
per cent OF the total production for that year"
II there Is to be the largest appropriation In his
tory for American waterways and harbors, then a
large slice Of the appropriation should be given to the
Gulf ports Of Texas with the largest costline OF any
American commonwealth. Texas Gulf ports are
growing by leaps and bounds. There is an intra-
coastal canal. It should be developed TO the fullest
capacity. These Gulf port cities Of Texas have had
amazing growth in recent years. They are dotting
the coast line from Brownsville on the south to
she Louisiana border on the north
They are the gateway to all European ports, to all
South American ports. to all the ports OF the Orient.
They are almost within speaking distance OF the
Panama canal.
Some day Texas and Oklahoma and Arkansas and
New Mexico and Arizona will produce more than half
the annual cotton crop Of America. Texas and Okla
homa and Arkansas are among the great petroleum
states Of the union. Never overlook the fact that in
value Of exports and tonnage Texas ranks second and
New York first and New York harbors were first de-
veloped away back in the dead century.
