JOHN WINK|E, 48 YEARS IN
 ALASKA, DIES
Beloved Citizen of Juneau Gives Estate to
 Charity

AS he lived, always with a thought toward his fellow men, so did John Winkie die. Death came to the 67-year- -old beloved citi- zen of Juneau in St. Ann's Hos pital at 7;45 o'clock this morning. Cancer was the cause of death.
 But even in death, John Winkie will serve some of his friends, per- haps less fortunate than himself Always able to stand alone and to make his own way, Winkie left a Sizeable estate. And the contents of his last will, made public today by Howard D. Stabler, executor, in- dicate that charity will receive the bulk of the estate.
 For John Winkie left a peculiar will. Peculiar in the sense only that few people write similar be- quests.
 Leaves Requests
 To his two fraternal organiza- tions, the lodges of the Juneau B. P. o. Elks and the Odd Fellows, Winkie left a large portion of his worldly goods, amounting to sev- eral thousands of dollars. This bequest is to be used solely, accord ing to the will, for members of those organizations or families of members who are in need and dis tress.
 To the Salvation Army, Juneau chapter, .Winkie gave his personal clothing, effects and grips.
 To Mrs. Catharine Zynda, life long friend of Wrinkles, the pioneer gave a $500 cash bequest.
 John Winkie had lived in Ju- neau and vicinity almost half century, coming here in 1886 as cook. The story of how he hap pened to become a cook, which business he followed, is typical of the man.
 Behrends' Tribute
 
 B. M Behrends, president of the B. M. Behrends Bank and one of Wrinkles first friends in Juneau, recalled, this morning, how winkie came north.
 T knew him in California" said Behrends. That was in 1884. One day he happened into our store and heard a friend of mine ask me if knew where a good cook might be found.
 After my friend had left, Win kie, who had strong ambition to become farmer and, in fact, mad purchased some land for that pur- pose, stayed awhile and then sud- denly said:
 CT think I'd make a good cook! My mother taught me how to make biscuits. I'm going to take that job!'
 And he did"
 The next time Behrends saw Winkie was at party here in Ju- neau in 1887. Neither man knew that the other had come to Alas ka.

Bristol Bay canneries start opera tions June 25 and lasts only 30 days. Supplies and crews must be at canneries at least month in ad- vance to prepare plants, boats, fish, ing gear, etc, In other words, all cannery supplies for Bristol Bay should now be on way.
 If canneries do not operate our revenues will be cut to point where many public institutions will have to close and many natives and whites become public charges on Territory this winter. Of greater significance, however, is fact that Alaska salmon represents both a national and international food supply of vital importance, the cur tailment of which affects the life of the people. Almost equally criti- cal is our gold mining industry in Interior Alaska, employing several thousand men, which industry is also seasonal, and will be seriously curtailed if machinery and supplies are not received very soon. We. therefore, urgently request you. to present these facts to Mediation Beard with view to reaching some agreement for immediate release of supply ships for Alaska, particular ly Southwestern Alaska"
 Association Wires President
 The Governor today received the following wire from H. B. Friele, President of the Association of Pa cific Fisheries:
 We appreciate your efforts to relieve serious situation in Alaska industries caused by strike here and to keep you advised we are sending following wire to President Roosevelt, Secretary Roper, Secre- tary Ickes. Governor Martin, Asst Secy. McGrady, Mediator, in San Francisco. Association of Pacific Fisheries and Northwest Salmon Gamers Association, representing over 90 percent annual production Of canned salmon in Alaska, re- spectfully direct your attention tc the serious effects of longshore- mems strike on our industry which outfits primarily at Seattle and other northwest ports.
 Alaska has no transportation service aside from vessels and there by differs from localities in the Continental United States. Strike prevents departure of vessels to Alaska carrying mail, perishable foods, cannery supplies and work CTS with result cannery operations are being restricted at time when usual preparations for canning sal mon are being made.

ENGINEER DECLARES CHICHAGOF ISLAND
 INTERIOR PROMISING

A4 A4lA
 "Chichagof Island is a most promising field for prospectors as the greater part of the prospect ing which has been done on the island has been confined to the coastal portion with the interior still practically untouched de- clared G. G. Oien, engineer in charge of the Alaska Assay and Engineering office, after trip of examination to that island and other prospects in this vicinity.
 MT. Oien returned here Monday evening from a 17-day trip on his boat the Tolo, on which he covered $50 miles and examined 9 mining properties in Glacier Bay. Dun- das Bay and on Chichagof Island While on Chichagof Island, MT Oien visited and went through the mills of both the Chichagof and Hirst -Chichagof Mines.

 Most of the prospecting on Chi chagof Island has been done ol the coast by boat, though indica tions are that the Interior offer just as good a field, and as tn snow went off the island this yea a full month earlier than usual travelling in the interior of tn island is not difficult he declared ! MT. Oien represented prospectiv buyers in most of his examination though in a few cases he examine properties for both the owners an those interested in purchasin them. He was accompanied by Cai Porap and William Paul, Jr. H said he was very pleased with tn trip, including the fine weather ex perienced, and brought back man samples of ore which he will as say.

some districts to only thirty days in whole year. Further delay due to strike means not only loss of op- erating season to packers but also loss of opportunity to many thou sands cannery employees. and also to Territory of Alaska itself; eighty per cent of it's tax revenue being obtained from fisheries industry there, depending mostly on volume of production.
 Therefore, we respectfully re- quest you use your best efforts to restore cannery and common car rier ships to regulate service to Alaska before further unemploy- ment, loss and uncertainty at this critical time in our industry and associated industries results"

 Strikers Issue Statement
 Officers of Seattle Local 3812, h. ternational Longshoremen's Asso- citation, issued the following state ment:
 4The International Longshore- mems Association and it's members are part of the American labor movement. This organization has been forced to call a strike as a means of last resort after all other means of adjusting existing labor differences between employer and employees along the waterfront have failed.
 Tn thus exercising it's constitu- tional right to strike, the l. l..

hour is hurting. Canning season is very short. Some districts close in July and all are through in August. Time in Territory important just now"
 Similar messages were sent to MT. McGrady. and to the Long shore Mediation Board.
 Supports Fishermen's Request
 Advised that the Alaska Fisher mems Union of San Francisco had petitioned MT. McGrady to inter vene in the Bristol Bay shipping situation, the Governor also wired him as follows:
 T request that you make every possible effort to settle existing longshoremen's strike at least With respect to loading of Bristol Bay cannery vessels now lying idle at Seattle and Bellingham, as their delay threatens to ruin 1884 fish, cries in Alaska. Inability to carry out usual operations in our salmon canning industry not only throws many hundreds of our citizens out of employment but a major pro- portion of our Territorial reve- nues is derived from this business and will necessitate sharp curtail- ment in all activities now carried on with Territorial funds which will injure schools, mothers pen sions, old age pensions, indigent re- lief, Pioneers Home, and, in fact, all Territorial functions.
 Please give serious considera- tion to requests made by Alaska Fishermen's union in order to avoid serious suffering throughout the Territory this coming winter. Also, specially and immediately important is loading of Alaska Steamship Company's Aleutian for Westward points. Cordova, Valdez, Seward, and other points along route have not had sailing from Seattle since May 13. Alaska Railroad and other interior Alaska are as, including Panama and Yukon river points and Alaska Peninsula and Aleu- tian Islands, depend upon arrivals at Seward and Cordova for regular supplies. Several thousand work ing men are idle because of delay in arrival of fisheries and other equipment and supplies. Beginning of road work and other public works held in abeyance waiting for equipment and supplies. One item, Alaska Road Commission has 68 trucks needed for road work now held at Seattle"
 Territorial Chamber Active | Continuing it's, efforts to assist in ending the situation, the Alas ka Territorial Chamber last night telegraphed Judge Reynolds as fol- lows:
 Representing thirteen member Chambers located throughout Alas ka, we wish to urge critical posi- tion of entire Territory, particular ly Southwestern Alaska, account Pacific Coast longshoremen's strike. Approximately eighteen thousand persons are annually employed in Alaska salmon canning industry alone and several thousand of these are permanent residents who ] depend upon summer employment in canneries for principal source of livelihood.

 Eighty per cent of our reve- nues for maintenance of schools, 1, Pioneers Home, pensions to aged, etc, comes from taxes on fisheries.

SAFETY VALVE

It is known generally that peti- tions seeking the custer of San- ders have been circulated around quietly for some time. Who started them or how many names were ob- tained no one seems to know or will hazard guess.
 It is known also that as far back as last October Sanders himself sounded out some of the commit teemen on the advisability of call- ing a session of the Committee. It is reliably reported that all except one advised him to sit tight. This one suggested that it might be a good thing to go ahead and call the committee together and Jet those who had grievances blow of steam"

APOLLOS AS TEACHER
1OA

Accuracy in Bible Teaching
was shown by Appollos as teach
er. Cd Apollos the man. His
name was the same as Apollonius
or Apollodorus, no other in the
Bible bearing the same name. He
was Jew and doubtless proud of
his heritage from the chosen peo-
pie. He was a native of Alex
andria the great city in North
Africa near the mouth Of the
Nile and at the time the chief
seat of the Greek-speaking Jews.
It was here that the Old Tesla
nent Scriptures were translated
into Greek and this was the YER
sion in common use a the time of
Christ. Apollos was eloquent and
he was highly educated. He was
fervent in spirit showing that he
was of the Jealous type. (2)
Apolos the learner. AS a Jew
he had been well trained in Old
Testament lore. As an AleXan-
drian he had CONG in contact
with the ripest learning Of the
day. Possibly he was a disciple
of the illustrious Philo. But
he had been "instruct-
ed in the way of the Lord" He
was the disciple of John the Bap-
fist. Indeed he may have seen
and heard the great forerunner.
Certainly he knew the great du-
ties Of repentance and of faith in
the coming Messiah. However
his knowledge was imperfect for
he seems not to nave known the
