C. W. ASK & SONS
SOI GOSSIP FROM SEME
Seattle, P. I.. March 2U? Thomas
Calc, Alaakr. delegate to cocgress, will
not be a candidate to succeed himself,
according to a statement which he
made to James M. Shoup United States
marshal for the first division of Alaska,
recently in Washington D. C, Marshal
Shoup arrived in the city yesterday
from Washington, and will leave to
night for the north.
"Mr. Cale informed me jutt before I
left Washington," said Mr, Shoup,
"that he would not bo a candidate for
another term as Alaska delegate in
congress. He said he was tired of the
work and desired to return to Alaska
to look after his private affairs."
Mr, Shoup at one time seriously con
sidered it-signing bis position a United
States march >1, to become a candidate
for the delegateship, but dscided not
to make the rac* *hm Cale was in
dorsed as the candidate of the mining
interests.
Mr. Shoup speot several weeks at the
capital and stated that Alaska legu
leian is receiving very favorable con
sideration '
"The bill cruating the fourth judi
cial district of Alaska, providing for
the appointment of an addition il judge
and increasing the saiaries of the
judges and district attorneys, will be
passed by congrcss without any epi<
sition," said Mr. Shoup. ''There has
been do opposition to lh: measure, and
the Alaska men that are in Washington
working (or Its passage have received
positive assurance that it will ro
through.
"C. D. Murrane, who is an announc
ed candidate for the judgeship, is at the
capital. I understand that some other
applications have boen tuado for tho
appointment, but Mr. Murrane is the
ooly one seeking the p'acc who is in
Washington urging his claims person
ally."
The statement given out by Mr. Calo
that be will not be a candidate tc suc
ceed himself opens a fight for the posi
tion, with candidates frtm practically
every section of Alaska. John Corson
and Dick Ryan, both of Nome, ha\e
been sparring for a place in the dele
gateshlp race for some months, but Mr.
Cale had been given the assurance of
strong support (or a second term, and
neither of the two men would announce
bis candidacy while Mr. Ca'o was a
possible candidate for re-el?ctioo.
Judge Wickersham is talked of as a
candidate Irom the Fairbanks district,
although he has declined to make any
statement for himself, and former
Governor Swineford will prohably
be tho candidate from Southeastern
> Alaska.

But Fifteen Castaways on Disappointment Island Were Not Mol
lycoddles?Back to Nature In Earnest.
The steamer Mlowera recently arriv
ed at Victoria. R. C.. from Australia
bringing details regarding the tiudlug
of thf> castaways from the wrecked
barkentlnc Puudouald, who (or eight
Djoatbs struggled to exist on Disap
pointment island. 200 miles south of
New Zealand.
The Duudnnald. with a crow of twen
ty-Kcvou, was smashed ou the rocks off
the island on March 7 last, twelve tw
ins drowned and fifteen survivor*
found at Auckland Island, which they
reached in a rudely fashioned boat
eight months afterward <f>y the New
Zealand steamer llineoina.
The castaways lived on raw molly
Lawlcs and reals and built a tire and
kept It going for seven mouths until
May. Canvas from the ship was used
for covering.
Cto!d weather came upon them then
with snow and hail, and with their
hands only they dug holes In the
ground. al*>\o which huts were built
of sods and sticks. In these they lived
on mollyhawkn and seals. At first they
cooked food ou the fire, but later built
a mud oven and cooked their food 011 ]
a spit.
They ktif?r n government ftvt depot
was placed oil An klnud Island, live
miles away, and finally deckled to
build a boat. In July a s' range looking
boat was fashioned of crooked sticks
and canvas, clothing and blankets sav
ed from the ship also living used. A
snvall bone saved from a bird with a
I hole pierced In It was used as n nee
die, and some wire rrom the ship an
swered for thread. The boat started
July 31: but, falling to Hud the depot,
the men caine back Aug. 9. They used
four of six of the valuable matches
they possessed.
A second boat was built in Septem
lier and a third lu October, but these
were smashed. They then sent the
tlrst boat ahead and Anally reached the
Island.
After walklux through the brush
and scrub for fifteen miles the food de
pot was found. There was a good boat
then?, and, making sails from their
clothing, the lioat's crew weut back to
IMsappointuient island and brought the
others to Auckland Island. The Illneo
ina, passing with a scientific party,
saw their signals, siui a month aftet
they reached Auckland island rescued
them.
