two women had adjoining state rooms and Mrs Gibson said as she came out of her stateroom, Mrs. McCaul came from hers and passed on down the companion way. Mrs. Gibson said a waiter was near there cleaning some stairs and she asked him if they were just about in Jun eau He replied the vessel would be at the dock in about an hour and Mrs. Gibson said she looked at her watch then and noted it was just ten minutes until T o'clock The waiter, Charles Shallito, told the Chief he recalled the incident and verified Mrs. Gibson's statement.
 Mrs. Gibson is the former Eliza beth Chunn of England and came here on the Northland to become the bride of Hamilton Gibson of this city
 Chief Ralston said that if Mrs. McCaul fell overheard either from slipping on the frosty deck or from fainting spell to which it is said she was subject, he believed there was a good chance of finding the body in the vicinity of Marmion Island as a check with the ships log and officers definitely determined that the Northland was just abreast of that point at the time the missing woman was last seen by Mrs. Gibson.

Mrs. T. J. McCaul, well known Juneau woman missing from the Northland when it arrived here at o'clock last Tuesday morning, was last seen an hour and ten minutes before the vessel docked here. At that time the Northland was abreast of Marion Island.
 This Information was obtained by authorities today from Mrs. Eliza beth Gibson of Juneau. who came north on the same ship and ate at the same table with Mrs. McCaul. Police Chief Dan Ralston said Mrs. Gibson reported to him that she met Mrs McCaul coming out of her stateroom at 6:50 that morning. The

who took the survivors to Lituya from the wreck after being dropped there by Shell Simmons in a daring landing last Monday; and Vic Man vile Anthony Thomas and Howard Hayes. taken out from Juneau on the patrol boat Morris and transfer red to the Haida at Yakutat, later to be put ashore in Lituya Bay to meet the marching men.
 Falls Exhausted
 LudWigson, apparently eXerting tremendous effort in keeping feeble seamen's feet moving and bodies warm, fell exhausted last night at a cabin only five miles from Lituya, Coast Guardsmen from the Haida went to him and aided him in this morning in getting him to Lituya Bay.
 The Haida radioed the Customs House here that she had left her anchorage for Juneau shortly after o'clock this afternoon, expecting to arrive here at o'clock in the morning.
 The Navy planes, originally plan ming to land their loads at Port Althorp for the Cyane, were forced to continue on to Sitka because of unfavorable weather. The Cyane will proceed there to pick up her officers and men, and possibly bring the seven survivors aboard the planes to Juneau.
 Cyane Here Last Night
 The cutter Cyane, It. John Rountree in command, docked at the Standard Oil Dock in Juneau last night after a twelve hour mercy trip from Lituya Bay. bringing En- sign Ralph Dean and Seaman Quentin Van Gordon in for hoSpi- talization
 Remaining in port only a short time, the Cyane sailed for Port Althorp to rendezvous with two Navy bombers from the Sitka Naval Airbase, planning last night to fly the Patterson survivors from Litu- va to the Cyane
 Dr. L. P. Dawes, attending Dean and Van Gordon. said both were doing well" today. Dean is to have his appendicitis operation after Christmas, while Van Cor don will remain under medical at tention for an abcess. Both are in St. Ann's Hospital.
 Also coming in on the Cyane last night was Capt. Tom Sandvik, veteran Juneau halibut skipper, now of the Norland, who acted as pilot for the Coast Guard with Capt. Tom Smith, another waterfront veteran, in the dangerous shadows and reef-studded waters of the Gulf shore where rescue operations were carried on.
 i Historic Vessel
 Today, snow was falling on the broken hulk that was once the proud 604-ton Patterson, built in 1882 in Brooklyn New York. An i'll luck" vessel, she has, neverthe- less, a colorful history behind her, a history that today is being buried in the ever-shifting sands of the l exposed Gulf of Alaska coast, while the eighteen men who were her crew when she reached her last resting place, were giving up thanks to the seafaring mans God above that rescue came when it did. This afternoon, in the Customs office, Mir s. Whittier who has borne the brunt, in Juneau, of the rescue plans, heaved back in his : chair, loaded his pipe, took several : puffs and then declared the worst is over-now to take care of the : survivors and get them south.

eighteen per cent of the building ma
terialS bill, and prices in this group were
tWenty-one per cent less than in 1926.
Brick is also major factor in house
costs, and study shows that brick prices
were more than nine per cent less this
spring than they were twelve years ago.
Other items less in cost than in 1926
were cements, sand, tile, glass, COM
position roofing and paint. The items
in marked contrast with 1926 were white
glazed wall tile, which was fifty-two per
cent less; sinks, which were forty-four
per cent less; window glass, which was
thirty per cent less; asphalt shingles,
which were thirty-two per cent less, and
insulating board which was twenty
four per cent less.
These substantial savings on building
materials are in addition to the fact
that infinitely more value is given in a
modern house than in the one built
twelve years ago. Revolution in design
has allowed the utilization of every
available inch of space for living,
whereas formerly a goodly area went
to waste. The new design is intended
to save time and labor; modern kit
chens are compact and complete;
plumbing is superior and automatic
heating has eliminated labor and dirt.
Aside from the actual construction
advantages of the home and the cost of
the materials which go into it, the sur
NF
finance with single, long-term mort
cages with amortization features, have
considerably reduced the cost of home
ownership and ightened the financial
lead on the homeowner.

Building material dealers, contractors,
carpenters, painters, home outfitterS,
plumbers, electrical dealers and others,
are putting the weight of their sales
forces behind this drive to revive build
ing in Ely.
During each of the next four weeks a
page ad, appearing in the Miner, en-
phasizing and illustrating the greater
values offered by homes built today will
be sponsored by the following dealers:
Lampert Lumber Co., Veranth's Fuel
and Building Materials, McMahan Lum-

Every building erected here, it is
pointed out, will offer jobs for Ely men
that will put money into local channels
of trade. Every business firm regard
less of whether it is directly connected
with the building industry will be bene-
fitted. The motto of the National
SaleSmen's Crusade is SALES Mean
Jobs In turn jobs mean income, not
only for the workers, but also income
for the community in which they re-
side.
One reason today's house offers more
home for the money than ever before is
that the price of building materials is
eight and one-half per cent below those
of 1926, according to government COM
modify figures. The year 1926 is selec-
ted for comparison in dealing with
prices and costs since the government
uses it as base period, and as being
the level which may be considered
normal"
In the typical aggregate of homes
built, lumber and millwork account fol
thirty-four per cent of the total build
ing materials used, analysis shows. In
the month of March, 1888, prices in the
lumber group were nine per cent less
than in 1926
Next in Importance in the list OF
materials used in a home is plumbing
