COLD AND WIND BREAK 5O- YEAR OCT.
 RECORD IN S.E. ALSKABY ' DEGREES

The coldest October in fifty years is the verdict of meteorologist R. c. Mize, of the Juneau office of the U. S. Weather Bureau, where the thermometer registered 13 above zero last Sunday. Observations by Lee Bunnell, local Cooperative Ob- server, indicate that Wrangell is a slightly warmer place than the capitol city. Eighteen above was the lowest registration here.
 The fifty-year minimum was broken in southeast Alaska last Sat urday when the thermometer drop ped below 20. To add to the discom- fort, strong northerly winds swoop- ed down out of the interior, by way of the Taku and Stikine rivers. Lit tie damage was done by the wind in Wrangell, where it registered 25 miles per hour for a short time, but in Juneau the famous "Tarku" breeze registered a velocity of 37 miles per hour for a five-minute period, blowing pedestrians - off their feet, breaking plate glass win dows and tearing chimneys down.

Com. Friedrich Coming
 Alaska f or OaIV. Army

Wrangell will soon have the priv. ilege of greeting an international visitor in the person of Commission CT Bruno Friedrich of The Salva- tion Army, who will deliver a lee ture ill Redmen's Hall, Friday, No yember 8, at eight o'clock. The theme of the lecture will be Aspects of Salvation Army Activities in Many Lands."
 The Commissioner is a world traveller having seen Salvation Army service in Hungary, Austria, Czecho- slavakia, Germany, United States, India, Canada and New Zealand. Mrs. Friedrich passed away during the term of the Commissioner's last command in Germany. He has now retired with relatives in Canada, and is a Canadian by birth.
 This is not the Commissioner S first visit to Alaska, as he was one of a party which accompanied Com mander Eyangeline Booth on her visit to Skagway and the Yukon District during the days of the gold rush of '98.
 There is no one with greater authority to speak on the subject chosen by Commissioner Friedrich for his Wrangell lecture as he has seen every phase of Salvation Army work in so many countries.
 In connection with the WrangelI lecture, Mrs. LeRoy F. Jackson has a special program of sacred music, in which students of the Wrangell Institute will take part. Mrs. E. R. Sharnbroich will sing a solo. Mayor Thomas Dalgity will be chairman for this occasion.
 The Commissioner will address the Chamber of Commerce at meeting which is being arranged for Friday noon. Arrangements have also been made for him to visit the Wrangell Institute and speak to the students.
 Another expected interesting fea- ture of the visit of Commissioner Friedrich is the presence of a large of Native Salvationists from the Ketchikan District enroute 10 attend the Native Congress which is being held at Petersburg on No ~ember 4th, 5th, and 9th. It is possible that suffient bandsmen
 Il gather to make it possible to ave a Native band for the lecture.

hunters to return to their homes Several paries hunting on the Sti- kline flats were unable to move for several days, likewise unable to hunt, as the birds deserted their us- ual haunts at the beginning of the cold spell.
 Interior Frigid
 Although no records were broken in the interior of Alaska, the wea- ther was unusually cold for this time of year. Fort Yukon and Eagle registered 22 below last Sunday: previoas lows of October are 30 and 28.
 Indians Predict Open Winter
 Weather-wise Natives of Wran- gel predict mild winter. Just how they arrive at this conclusion is a mystery known only to themselves, but as they have been watching wea- ther longer than the Whites, their prognostications may prove to be correct.
 The Rev. A. p. Kashevaroff of Juneau who was official weather ob- server at Sitka in 1883, refuses to prophecy for 1893, although he as- serts that the new record. being sev- en degrees colder than October of 1883, might lead to anything.

CaSSiar Hunters Held
 Telegraph Creek By Ice

The gasboat Mary J., Captain William Strong of Tulsequah, ar rived in Wrangell last night from an unsuccessful effort to reach Telegraph Creek to meet L. H. Smith and his secretary, Miss Joyce, who have been hunting in the Cassiar.
 Accompanied by P. L. Bishop and Miss L. Robbins, Capt. Strong left Juneau on October 19 bound for telegraph Creek. Miss Robbins, who is the sister of George Robbins, man. ager of Capt Strongs store in Telegraph Creek, intended to remain in the Cassiar all winter.
 While in the vicinity of Port Houghton, the party encountered terrific Taku winds and wer com pelled to seek shelter at one of the fox ranches, where they remained four days until the storm spent itself.
 Proceeding thence to the mouth of the Stikine, via Dry Straits, the Mary J. ahcended the river as far as Andrews Creek where they found the river frozen from bank to bank. A four-foot wall of mush ice was encountered, Capt. Strong says, and the river above Andrews appeared to be frozen as far as they could see. There was much snow along the banks and the trees were sheathed with several inches of ice.
 River May Open
 Capt. Strong believes that slight rise in the Iskut and other tributaries of the lower Stikine might move the ice at Andrews, but as it is uncertain what the conditions are above the Iskut, he has telegraphed Smith. warning him os the hazards of trying to come down in a small boat
 Word was received here some time ago that Walter Simpson would come down in a small boat as far as Jack Fowler's with the ballot box for the Provincial election. Due to the recent cold snap, however, it is thought that Simpson has given up the trip.
 Capt Strong is anxious to return to his headquarters at Tulsequah to ascertain whether any damage has been done by the Taku winds He is especially concerned about his airplane hangar which he fears might have been wrecked
 Nav Use Dog Teams
 Tn the event that the Stikine re- mains frozen, the Smith party will be brought out later by dog teams. probably via the B. c. telegraph trail, Shesley and Inklin rivers and the Taku to Tulsequah.
 Smith, who is a son of the late l.. c. Smith, typewriter manufactur- CT. owns the Twin Glacier camp on the Tulsequah river and makes the camp his year-round head quarters

theory that the right conclusion generally is automatic after the problem has been fully explored,
 His Influence Widespread
 The financial power of the elder f Morgan was legendary, but it is probably true, in the opinion of many observers, that the influence of the present house spreads even further.
 Morgan's today may not be as completely dominant in the finan- cial field as was Morgan's yester- day, because the intricate and i'm lmense growth of the country and the coming of the Federal Reserve system necessarily have made the influence of individuals much less, even in times of stress.
 According to friends of Morgan, he would not attempt to exercise dominating influence, even if it were possible. He believed in the Federal Reserve system when it was founded some 20 years ago, and ne not only worked to bring the organization about, but also exerted his personal influence to get banks to join the system
 The same friends say that
 Morgan today believes the
 banking system should be even
 mere strongly centralized un-
 der the government.
 Morgan's strength lies not alone in Morgan. He has many active partners. Thomas Lamont general ly is considered as one to whom many important decisions are re- ferred. Also compar a lively well known are Russell Leffingwell and s. Parker Gilbert, one-time agent general of separations directly in charge of the payment of the hum dreds of millions by Germany to the Allies
 Other partners are as important within the firm and are as well known in the financial district, but to the general public they are known only as names, and only a few of the names are known. Here are the partners:
 Arthur M. Anderson, Francis D. Bartow, Thomas Cochran, Harry P. Davison, Charles D. Dickey, S. Par ker Gilbert, Edward HopkinSon, jr, Thomas Stilwell Lamont, Thomas ". Lamont, Russell c. Leffingwell, Horatio G. Lloyd, Henry Sturgls Morgan, J. Pierpont Morgan, Jun jus Spencer Morgan, jr., Thomas Nswhall, George Whitney, Harold Stanley, Charles Steele and Edward T. Stotesbury.

NEW YORK, May 25.-Morgan makes no speeches. He gives no for maj interviews, He belongs to many clubs, but seldom goes to any of them. He comes to his bank at about 10 o'clock and leaves about 5 And he goes homa. Sundays he goes to the Protestant Episcopal church He yachts, plays golf and squash.
 Newspaper men do not write per .sonality stories about Morgan be- cause the details of his private life are as private as the business of his bank. He is one of the very few important figures in American fi- nancial life who have avoided the so-caled personality sketch, al- though a few have been attempted on hearsay evidence.
 Tall and We'll Built
 He is a tall man, strongly built. His grey hair surmounts a wide, high forehead. Piercing blue eyes lie below bushy eyebrows. He smiles quiz c fly under well-clipped grey mustache.
 Blue eyes seem to run in the fam fly. His fathers eyes were blue, and so are those of his son, Junius Morgan, next in line. Junius Mor- gan is well over six feet. He is wide-shouldered, built on a strong framework. Deep smile-and-laugh wrinkles mark his face
 His Biography Unwritten
 Biographies of Morgan, the elder, founder of the house, dwell on his personal magnetism. There are, as yet, no biographies of the present head of the house, and no one will say much about his personal influ- ence or his activities in the firm.
 It goes along Wall Street that
 his decisions are available when
 needed; that his way is easier
 than was his fathers; that the
 partners of the firm have near
 ly absolute authority in their
 own spheres; that decisions are
 reached through conference of
 the many financial minds in
 the firm.
 Every morning the partners meet with Morgan to discuss the prob- lems of the day. The partners gen. erally lunch together in their own dining room. The keynote of the firms inner operations, as described by friend, is cooperation on the
