- CAP! WARNER
TROUBLE OYER
SALVINGBOOZE
^ Boy, page Mr. Prominent Nome
Citizen, who made the first trip on
the Victoria to Nome, as a represen
tative of the federal government is in
the lobby.
There is a sad tale floating about
the Seattle waterfront that retailing
of British Columbia 'booze at $25 a
quart to passengers abroad the first
trip of the Victoria is being rigidly
investigated. The master of the Vic
toria, Captain Warner, is no longer
in charge of the big liner, and the
cdinpany will not disclose why. Nu
merous members of the Victoria
crew were interviewed by federal
hawkshaws before the liner sailed.
^|V11 simmer down to the rumor that
on the first trip of the Victoria she
hove to and took a sling load of beer
and Scotch whiskey from a small
craft which had put out from the
British shore. It is claimed a for
mer Nome saloon man secured the
booze at Victoria and landed it aboard
the Victoria. Was the Victoria out
side the three-mile limit and was there
a conspiracy to evade the law of the
United States? This question will be
completely answered when several
passengers on the first trip of the Vic
toria return to Seattle in the fall. Oh,
boy! but it is going to be a painful
Interview for a number of Nomeites
who sailed on the first trip.
Along tne wateriront tne wftoie
affair has been causing a great deal
of laughter. In the gool old days
the spring sailing of the Victoria
was some scene. This year Jafet
Lindeberg carried a bouquet of
flowers. Ira Orton was gingerly es
corting a box of bonbons. Mayor Loe
man had a copy of the War Cry. But
did these and other dignitaries pro
perly protect against salvage of the
floating bar. Could they exercise any
authority when, rather than run down
the small craft in British Columbia
waters, its cargo was salvaged, and
when aboard discovered to be booze?
Did these dignitaries assist in destroy
ing the devilish cargo taken from the
perils of the sea?
The Victoria on the first trip this
year carried the cream of Seward
peninsula north. Her passenger list
contained the names of her most
prominent citizenship. Strange as
^ it may seem there has not been a
single complaint from the North re
garding salvage of a wrecked booze
boat in British Columbia waters. It
is believed in Seattle that when
these prominent citizens learn what
really happened they will be not
only amazed but indignant. Although
nearly ever first-trippers have been
prominent in the work of putting
the territory dry, we doubt not but
what they would, in the interest of
v keeping Alaska dry, take a small
bit of the “spirit what cheers.”
In the meantime, Captain Warner
is like a policeman without a star
^ and will not navigate the ocean for
some three months, according to in
spection officials.

There’s big profits in raising poultry for egg production under the
wonderfully successful Alderwood Manor system.
Just beyond the borders of the great seaport city of Seattle, the Puget
Mill Company, since 1853 prominent in the industrial development of
the State of Washington, has founded a great poultry community, known
as Alderwood Manor.
In the center of the 18,000 acres of ideally adapted logged-off land, this com
pany has built at a cost of $200,000.00 a most remarkable Demonstration Farm and
Poultry College, where community settlers have the unusual privilege of a free ed
ucation in poultry raising, home gardening, fruit and berry culture. It is through
this free educational system that the Puget Mill Company is already rewarded in
seeing hundreds of inexperienced men and women achieve rapid success in raising
poultry for egg production.
In the brief span of three years thousands of 5-acre farms have been sold to city folks who
have tired of the uncertainties of payroll existence. More than 350 homes and poultry plants
have been built to date and hundreds more planned and ready for the builder.
Alderwood Manor presents a most uunusual opportunity to those who realize the insecur
ity of city life and who wish to engage in business for themselves.
„ v lur^nnr hoth insDirinsr and fascinating. How men and women who had the courage to
