GEORGE BROS.
 ENLARGE THEIR
 GROCERY STORE
Mems Furnishings Will Be Moved Into Dry Goods
 Departm e nit

Extensive cnan5cs in store ar- engagements are in progress at the business establishment of George Brothers. The alterations, which be- gan this morning, are designed primarily to give the grocery de- partment more space.
 The quarters which have been occupied by the shoe and mems furnishings department will be given over to the grocery depart ment, affording it additional floor space of 800 feet. In both the present quarters of the grocery department as well as in it's ad- ditional space, modern shelving with mahogany facings will be in- stalled. Shelves will cover both rear walls as well as side walls. New fixtures of the latest type likewise will be put in place.
 The enlarged grocery department will have two front entrances-the one in the present grocery quarters and the one in the shoe and mems furnishings department.
 "The grocery extension and inn provements will be completed this week." said Thomas George. Our stock of shoes and mems furnish ings will be moved into the women S wear and drygoods department, and will be taken care of there in the future.
 "On the completion of the en- largement of the grocery depart ment, we shall begin work on im- proving the quarters of the present women's wear and drygoods depart ment."
 The contract for all the building improvements has been let to Rob- ert Semple. After the interior work is done the front of the whole store
 will be changed to conform to the front of the grocery department

BES1TRADITIONS OF SEA RULE IN
 N0RTHLANDCASE.
Accident Causes No Ex. cltement and Passengers
 Get Every Care

All the best traditions of the sea were observed last week in the &C., cident to the motorship Northland off Vancouver Island. Her captain and crew gave first consideration to the safety of passengers; help. summoned by wireless, hastened from distance; care and kindness was extended whole-heartedly and generously to the stranded travel CTS when they were put ashore, and their every want and desire was satisfied by the vessel that ulti- mately brought them to their desti- nations.
 Deceptive shadows and strong currents caused the Northland to strike Helmcken Island reef a glancing blow last Tuesday eve- ming" Explained Capt. L. Will Hams today soon after the arrival of the vessel irs Juneau. Only a few plates on the starboard side amidships were damaged-in fact the injury was limited to the sheer ing off of few rivets. But a slight leak followed.
 Craft Was Reached T beached the craft on the soft mud of the Salmon River flats. I wirelessed for aid. The Canadian craft Cardina of the Union Steam ship Company, plying between Van couver, B. C., and Prince Rupert, B. C., responded. She arrived alongside Wednesday forenoon and we transferred to her passengers, personal baggage and mail. She took them to Alert Bay, where they remained Wednesday night. They were taken aboard the Admiral Farragut Thursday afternoon and continued their voyage to Southeast Alaska ports.

 At the hangar a stranger bear ing a large manila envelope was waiting for Renahan.
 Are you going to stop at Ket- chikan?" are man inquired.
 "Oh, yes, yes" Renahan was em- phatic. s
 Then, I wonder if you'll take this package for me? was talk ing to your office about it and they said the charge would be 75 cents and that I should see you"
 Renahan accepted the fat envel- ope.

DAVID SLAYS
 GOLIATH AGAIN
 BUT AT GOLF
Toivo Lahikainen Defeats Dr. w. w. Councl,
 5 to 5

History repeats. David has slain Goliath again. On the Midget Course in the Charles Goldstein Building yesterday afternoon, Toivo Lahikainen, grade school boy, 10 years old, defeated Dr. w. w. Council, physician and surgeon aged 45, in a match game of golf TheS cards for the 18 holes were 53 and 55, respectively.
 Neither played as well as they frequently have on previous oc- casions. But little Toivo was keyed high enough to win. The doctor is fine sportsman: he tried hard. A large gallery enjoyed the closely contested competition.
 Professional Men Win
 In the game between the Pro- fessional Men and High School Boys, Doctor Counci, and young Lahikainen were members of the opposing teams. The Professional Men won. The scores follow:
 Professional Men-Doctor Counci 51, Dr. w. J. B. McAulliffe 52 and Lieut.. R. B. Oxreider 52, a tota of 1855.

SEARCHERS REACH NO
 DECISION ON FURTHER
 HUNT, RENAHAN PLANE

from the point where the plane fell.
 The possibility of asking the Ca- nadian Dominion Government to transfer funds posted for the search to Ketchikan to institute an inten- sivs search by small boats and thus bring the hunt to a definite and immediate end, was vetoed by Mrs. Renahan who did not see the wisdom of asking that Canadian funds be transferred to American territory.
 Mrs. Renahan has at last given up hope her husband will be found alive.
 You have demonstrated that Pat is gone" Mrs. Renahan said when she came to the Chronicles office.

Reports of the finding of two airplane landing wheels carried by Pilot Robin Renahan tell but one grim story to many of those who have followed closely from the start the heroic attempt to rescue Capt. E. J. A. Burke and his two com panions, an attempt that ended in the tragic disappearance of Rena- han, Sam Clerf and Frank Hatcher, according to recent Seattle Daily Times.
 Renahan Interview Recalled
 To representative of The Times the night before he left Seattle Renahan outlined in full his plans for the flight-and did not mention the possibility he would swing in- land at Prince Rupert.
 Seated in the office of the Alas ka-W Washington Airways, wearing a light tan leather jacket, a gayly colored muffler twisted about his neck and in brooches and puttees, Renahan talked freely of his hope of finding his friend, Paddy Burke, alive.
 Tn the rumble seat Of an auto mobile with the newspaper man, the conversation continued on the way to the Lake Union hangar.
 T think we've got a very good chance of finding Paddy" Pat Re- l. ahan said. His hair, seldom re- strained by hat, flew in the breeze as the car sped along.
 "This chap" and he pointed through the glass of the car to Clerf, sitting beside the driver knows the route Paddy probably took, because he flew over 1t with him a few weeks ago.
 we will follow up the coastline to Juneau, staying near the water as long as possible because our ship is on pontoons. Then we'll cut over the pass to Atlin and land on the lake there"
 The newspaper man showed him a telegram from Frank Dorbandt, then at Atlin hunting for Burke.
 Advise Renahan to come on wheels. Lakes all frozen. Pontoons no use," Dorbandt's message said.
 Take 8 Chance
 "Well I'll take a chance" Pat said after reading the telegram We can land on the ice with our pontoons if we have to. I've done it before, although it's ticklish busi- ness. But maybe we'd better take set of wheels with us and change at Atlin if we have to.
 I'm not going to take any un- necessary chances" Renahan replied in answer to question as to how fast he intended to push through to Atlin, "but in a case of this kind one is tempted to do things he never would think of doing or a passenger run. We'll get there just as quickly as we can. Those boys may be starving or freezing tc death right now.
 Why am I making the flight Well, knew Paddy pretty well anc well, If were down I know he

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Jan. 19.- Bad weather held Pilot Anscel Eek mann down here last Saturday. He planned flying Mrs. Robin Pat) Renahan back to Prince Rupert.
 A conference among the searchers of the Seattle Daily Times and Ketchikan Chronicle expedition, U. s. Gutter Cygan and Provincial Police, all of whom are now in Ketchikan, failed to may out any program for future search, although most all leaders are inclined to abandon the hunt, feeling any further wreckage will be found, maybe anywhere and discovery will be purely accidental. It is believed the wreckage of Pilot Renahan's plane has been carried far afield
