lug recent years. Officials of the
Alaska Steamship company offered
the steamer Dora, long on the Seward
Unalaska run, and a vessel in which
some well-known navigators have had
some thrilling experiences. They
were willing to place the steamer in
the new survey service at $37.50 a
day.
The power schooner King & Wlnge,
which played an important part in the
rescue of the survivors of the Vilh
jalmur Stefansson Arctic exploration
expedition, was offered at $38 per day.
The vessels required by the govern
ment in the survey work contemplat
ed, will include one large steamer to
serve primarily as living quarters for
the surveying corps, and two small
vessels for towing the wire drag.
The large vessel must provide ac
commodations for six officers and
twelve men, and have a cruising speed 1
of not less than five knots, The
smaller vessels must be equipped with
engines of 20-horse power or more
and should be flush deck. A galley
and quarters will not be required a
board the smaller vessels. The craft
must be delivered at Ketchikan or Ju
neau about May 1.
The government furnishes all neces
sary fuel, lubricating oil, cylinder oil
and waste for the engines. The own
er is to furnish all repairs and take
all risks ordinarily covered by in
surance.
All hands are to be paid by the
government, but the owner can rec
ommend a coxswain and engineer for
each vessel. The pay of the men
Will be $75 a month and board.
The work to be done by the small
vessels consists primarily in towing
a wire drag through the water at a
speed of one mile per hour. Great
caution 1s exercised when operating
in dangerous localities, and in the
eight years that the wire drag Work
has been done a boat has never been
damaged by grounding.

LITERALLY BLOWN
TO HIS DEATH
Oliver Baker, who met his death
near Yost's roadhouse, on the Chitina
Fairbanks trail, March 31, really was
“blown" to death. The Delta river

the few miles intervening 1s nothing
but a great glacier, with sometimes
snow on it and sometimes not. On
this occasion a 60-mile wind took it
off, leaving glare ice in many places.

were with him and who found the
body, slipped and fell, perhaps while
