Thirteen Come North
On AnderSOn'S Boat

A. B. Anderson returned Tuesday
from Seattle aboard his diesel boat
Mavis, which he took south in De-
cember for remodeling in a West
Seattle shipyard.
The changes made in the Mavis
through which the exhaust empties,
pilot house control, new winch,
power driven from the engine and
new lighting system.
Mr.. Anderson found after leav-
ing Seattle that he had miscounted
noses and instead of crew and
friends numbering twelve, there
were thirteen aboard. The discovery
was made too far out from Seattle
to do anything about it unless one
was thrown overheard and that idea
was not deemed feasible even
to those inclined to take a super
stitious view of the matter.
The thirteen aboard seemed a
lucky number for fine weather pre-
vailed all the way and the trip
was made to Ketchikan in 81 h
hours with the Mavis towing a So
foot naval hull which was brought
up for A. R. Brueger.
Coming north on the Mavis be-
sides the owner were Einar Otte-
sen, Ted Reed, Walter Tucker, Ho-
mer Acton, Bill Kaye, Bill Morse,
George Mills, o. w. Lindsey, Or
lando Lindsey, Ralph Lindsey and
Andy Vitilich.

Gold Imported
 To 1iaska, Claim Of Mehe,iin

Gold has actually been import cd to Alaska. in large quantities, for a period covering the last year. This astounding statement was made to friend by J. J. Meherin. An Empire reporter overhearing the conversation felt that such a fact merited a place in Ripley's Believe It Or Not" and demand ed proof. i@f
 MT. Meherin did furnish satis- factory proof, but asked that the Empire refrain from publishing it's facts. It seems that MT. Meherin, like most men, likes to keep some thing good, and now that it has leaked out, The Empire wants to put it in print.
 However, The Empire is honoring his request for silence only on condition that he will personally publish full account in proof of his amazing statement. He promis- es to clear the mystery within the next few days. All that can be said is that gold has to be more than mighty good" to warrant its being an import to Alaska.

WILL THERE BE WAR?

There appears difference of opinion in Washington, as else where, whether there will be any European war.
 The caution of official comment is extreme, and understandable. At this distance, probably no one can tell how much of the present sword-rattling is real, and how much is bluff.
 But the government is taking no chances. If war comes, it will be prepared-prepared to stay out.
