Steamships Now Serving Salmon Industry Again

SEATTLE, May l2 (H0With ag- reements being reached during the last week between employers and several of the labor unions representing workers in the can- ned salmon industry, transporta- tion service between Pu g e t Sound and Alaska is being re- stored to a frequency basis, an official of the Alaska Steamship Company said.
 During the prolonged labor ne- gotiations which were retarding preparations for the salmon can- ming season, the steamship com pany had been forced to cancel twelve sailings for Alaska, thus materially reducing the service to the Territory.
 On May Fourth, as a result of the partial settlement reached be tween operators and the unions involved, vanguard of nearly 700 fishermen, mechanics and can nery boat tendermen as well as large cargoes of supplies left Seat tie. Since that date service to the territory by ships operated by the Alaska line has averaged nearly a sailing day, with IA departures scheduled between May fourth and twentieth.
 "The heavy trafficn orthWard at this season of the year, again em phasizes the importance of the salmon cannery traffic to the transportation systems serving Alaska and it's residents" the spokesman for the steamship com pany said. "A large portion of the operating revenues of the steamship companies In the AL aska trade are derived from the movement of supplies and help north to the canneries and the fall movement of the canned sal mon out of Alaska for disMibu- tion to the markets of the world.
 The needs of the salmon in dustry for frequent sailings and for ships of sufficient size to han dle the movement are not only responsible for the excellent steam service Alaska is accustom ed to during the late spring, summer and early fall, but the revenues realized during this peak period make possible the continued operation of our steam CTS serving Alaska residents dur

JIHN MURPHY, OLDTIMER, ON WAY OUTSIDE
Fairbanks NeWS-Miner)

John C. Murphy, for over 40 years a resident of Alaska and a resident on Fish Creek for 35 years, has disposed of his min ing ground and is at present stay ing at the FairvieW Hotel in Fair banks preparatory to going out side, where he will make his flu ture home.
 That MT. Murphy has all the sterling qualities that go to make a real man is well known to his many friends, but few know that he is endowed with a charm of poetic expression carrying the melancholy sweetness of the IT, ish poets.
 The following poem, M y Farewell to Alaska could as well be entitled 'The Life of Sourdough," so truly does it DOT tray the hopes, the trials and the ambitions of this rapidly vanish ing band of pioneers.
 A SOurdough Farewell Farewell to dear Alaska, I bid
 you now adieu, For many pleasant day I spent,
 and I had hardships, too. But the trail is getting heavy,
 with rheumatics in my bones But then you know that time and
 tide will wear the hardest
 stones.
 l gave to you my youth and
 prime and manhood's wan
 ing years,
 And now I'm going to leave you
 after more than forty years. I've prospected your mountains,
 your valleys & your streams, And Where'er l go, I'll always
 know I'll always see you in
 my dreams. l tracked for you the mountain
 sides and slept within the
 brake,
 Dame Fortune was against me
 and 1 ne'er could make a
 stake,
 But hopes eternal from the heart,
 l made a last appeal, And Providence proved kind to
 me and Fortune turned the
 wheel.
 The gift isn't much, I will allow,
 but further I don't crave, For you can't take it with you to
 the void beyond the grave. Some people they have riches
 great and others they have
 none,
 But money never made the man,
 nor wealth a happy home. The long, long -Wished-for dust
 has come, and the mist has
 cleared away, The oldtimers that I knew are
 gone and laid away, And where my journeys end will
 be, O that no pen can tell, As l heave sigh and bid good
 bye, old Fish Creek, fare you
 we'll.

COL. RUPERT, (0L0RFUL

 INDUSTRY, PASSES AWAY

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Col. Jacob Ruppert, II, owner of the New York Yankees, is dead. He had been in i'll health for many months and took a turn for the worse early last week and the last rites of the Catho- lie Church were administered.
 Col Ruppert was a bachelor and his fortune is estimated at between $70000,000 and $100,000,000.
 Beer, baseball and buildings for business, 'bangtails,' "bow-wows' and boats for diversions and bache- lorhood as a fixed policy alliterative- ly summarized Col. Jacob Ruppert. The first three of these seven 'BS'' brought him great wealth; the sec ond trio helped him spread it and the seventh gave him the self-im- posed prideful title of "the best housekeeper in New York"
 His brewery, inherited from his father, was one of the largest con- cerns of its kind in the world. His New York Yankees drew greater crowds than any other team in the American League. His real estate holdings, acquired chiefly through the 1929-36 depression years when prices were low, added millions to his fortune.
 He turned to the "bangtails" for diversion but his string of race horses won so many purses that it began to take on the aspects of a profitable business and he quit the turf. He collected St. Bernard dogs that cost 5000 year to feed. His succession of yachts was climaxed by the Yankee" a 437-ton twin screw, steel craft of luxurious ap- pointments.
 Four Terms in Congress
 At one stage of his career he served four successive terms in the National House of Representatives. At another he was interested in mill itary affairs, served in the national guard ana was a cOlOnei on Une staffs of two governors.
 But it was as owner of the New York Yankees, boss of Miller Hug gins, Babe" Ruth and Iron Man" Gehrig that Ruppert was most wide ly known.
 For more than a dozen years vari- ous owners of the club had tried vainly to produce winner before Ruppert and Col. T. L. Huston bought the outfit in 1915. The two colonels poured money into the team and paid Boston $125,00 for Ruth's contract, record price at that time. Their first pennant-win- ner was achieved in 1921. They had another in 1922. In 1923 Ruppert bought Illusions interest for a re- ported $1,500,000. That year the Yankees won the World Series from the New York Giants, who had de-
