ALASKANS TO
WITH SIBERIA
To enter extensively into the fur
trading business in Northeast Siberia
is the purpose of a strong corporation
known / as the Siberian Commercial
Company, recently organized in Se
attle, with head offices in the Securi
ties building, Second avenue and Stew
art street. The president of the com
pany is Louis C. Stringer, who is en
* ti^ed to be called an Alaska sour
dough, because he has lived in the
territory for the past eighteen years.
He was formerly a resident of Cor
dova and Chitina. T. E. Williams,
vice president, is another old-timer in
the Netherlands, having lived there for
twenty years, and is an experienced
trader. On the board of directors ap
pears the name of C. I.'Olson. Here
ia a real sourdough, but no Alaskan
would recognize him unless he were
called “Kelly” Olson, for that’s the
only name Alaskans know him by. Ol
sen has been in Alaska for the past
twenty-three years. Other officers
are well-known and responsible Se
attle men. The secretary-treasurer is
Frank W. Hanford and the other di
rectors are Judge C. H. Hanford, Ira
J. Diem and S. O. Backues*. The cap
ital stock of the company is $1,500,000.
The company plans to establish
three trading posts in Siberia this sea
son—one at St. Lawrence bay, Bering
sea; one at Kolushan bay, and the
other at Kolima bay, both on the Arc
tic coast. The chief supply base will
be at Nome, Alaska, where large ware
house facilities have been obtained,
and from whence the Siberian posts
will be supplied with trade goods, and
to which the posts will ship all furs
for transshipment to the States. A
boat will ply between Nome and the
trading posts throughout the open sea
son. “Kelly” Olsen, who will' be the
head trader for the company, will di
vide his time between the Kolushan
bay and the Kolima bay posts, while
Mr. Williams will be stationed at St.
Lawrence bay.
The company plans to send a large
vessel from Seattle to Siberia about
May 1, with building material for the
erection of the trading posts and ini
tial stocks for use in trading. It is
* estimated that this cargo will cost
$150,000.
The Siberian Commercial Company
also owns the steamer Gedney, which
it bought from the government, and
upon which $35,000 has been expended
in a general overhauling. The Gedney
will ply between Seattle and Hyder,
on Portland canal, and all’ intermedi
ate points. Captain J. E. Anderson,
a well-known navigator in Southeast
ern Alaska, will be in command. J.
R. Beegle & Co. will be the Ketchikan
agents. The Gedney will carry freight
only, as it is not equipped for passen
ger traffic. The company announces
that another boat will be put on this
run if the traffic warrants. E. A.
Swift of Seattle is in charge of the
traffic department.

SEATTLE, March 5 (by Associated
Pi-ess).—Attempts are to be made by
the United States army signal corps
to obtain another vessel to replace
the steamship Burnside, which has
served for years as the cable repair
ship of the army cable between Se
attle and Southwestern Alaska. The
Burnside, according to local records,
was once an old Spanish tramp steam
ship, and was the first prize captured
by the American forces during the
Spanish-American war. The Burn
side laid the cable to the Philippine
islands.
