MEN PERSIST IN GOING TO:
ANCHORAGE
Although Lieut. Mears, commission
er in charge of construction on the
government railroad, has warned per
sons looking for work not to go to
Anchorage, many men from Cordova
and other adjacent twns are prepar-j
ing to take the next boat for the west.
It Is said by men returning from |
Anchorage that the town already is ^
overrun by workmen of all kinds, and
that unless one already has promise
of employment it Is unwise for a tnan
to go there.
The same condition, it is said, pre
vails at Seward, and the advice given
by all is that if a man has a job now
anywhere in the north, he will be wise
to hang on to it and not figure on get
ting work with the railroad commis
sion.

ISAILING VESSEL IS
I (
| SERVICE
j Called Into the northern route by
* j the great cargo movement that has
' set In from Seattle to Alaska, the 1
j two-mast schooner Halcyon, once the
! private yacht of John D. Spreckles,
' the San Francisco millionaire, and
! later notorious all over the Pacific as
' a smuggler, has sailed for Anchorage,
1 Cook Inlet, with 150 tons of cargo,
says the Seattle Times of April 14.
She was equipped recently with a 180
’ horse- power Dook engine, callable of
developing a speed of seven miles an
hour, so that she will not have to rely
| on her sails altogether.
The Halcyon Is the first sailing
I vessel to enter the Southwestern Al
aska trade out of Seattle since the
’ advent of the steamship in that route.
She is now owned by Norwegian resi-1
dents of Seattle, but has been chart
ered by J. P. Kudd, a well known ship
ping man. Her cargo consists princi
pally of wallpaper and plaster for
houses to be built In Anchorage.
Built especially for Spreckles. the
Halcyon passed here first years as a
! yacht in San Francisco bay, and ad
jacent waters. After Spreckles sold
her she changed ownership a number
of times and then fell into the hands
of an opium smuggling ring, carrying
the forbidden product from China to .
the Hawaiian islands. It is estimated
that she smuggled opium to the value
of $1,000,800 into the Islands during
her illegal career. Government ves
sels chased her all over the mid
pacific. but she always managed to
scape. She was purchased by Seat
tie residents last autumn and brought
to Seattle from San Francisco.
