SCHOONER IS
SUNK IN THE
ARCTIC OCEAN
FORT YUKON, Doc 3.—Hardships
of the Northeast passage through the
Arctic last summer compelled two dar
ling traders and explorers to give up
attempts to navigate it from the Pa
cific to the Atlantic, according to re
ports reaching here from Arctic ocean
points.
Joe Bernard, a Nome. Alaska, trader
and navigator, who has been spending
two years working eastward along the
passage, has turned back, says a re
port reaching here from Fort Nor
man. a Canadian outpost 500 miles i
up the Mackenzie river Bernard is I
aboard the schooner Teddy dear.
Another trader and explorer. Har- j
old Noice of Seattle, who was also j
trying to get to the eastward, had his j
plans blocked when his schooner, the
Challenge, went to the bottom at !
Pierce point, on the Arctic ocean,
about 400 miles east of Herschel .
island. Reports said no lives were
lost, it is thought the boat was
caught in the Ire and crushed

ALASKA PRIEST IS
INFLUENZA VICTIM
The Rev. Philip Howard Williams,
priest in charge of the mission at
Tanana under Bishop Rowe, who re
cently went out to engage in army
work, was stricken with Spanish in
fluenza and died in Baltimore.
To go to Alaska, the Rev. Mr.
Williams left a parish in Baltimore,
where every one from the rector whose
assistant lie was, down to the young
est child loved him. In two years,
after leaving the theological seminary,
‘"everything was done to spoil him."
j kindness was lavished upon him. and
his life was made easy and delightful
at every turn. From all this In- delib
! erately turn away and set his face to
t ward Alaska He positively rejoiced
: in self-denial. He felt it an honor to
be accounted worthy to suffer. And
j so it was with great happiness that,
having overcome all obstacles, he was
able at last in Julv, P.tlfi, to curry out
i
i his long cherished wish to come to
| Alaska. His letters made much of the
great interest of the country and the
work.

MAIL SERVICE CAUSING
ALASKANS MUCH WORRY
At a recent meeting of the Cordova
chamber of commerce it was again
proposed to take up the matter of the
mail service to Alaska and try, if
possible, to affect some arrangement
whereby the people of the North could
be given a service adequate to the
importance of Alaska.
All Alaskans are complaining bit
terly over the government’s inactivity
in forcing the steamships to carry the
mall expeditiously and properly. As
an indication of the manner in which
the steamships handle the mail mat
ter, the Victoria arrived in Valdez
at 7 o'clock Thursday evening with
nearly a month's mail on board. The
postoffice was thronged by anxious
people, but the mail never came up
until midnight. Fifteen minutes be
fore the cast-off whistle was blown the
obliging offcials bethought themselves
of the mail, and it was hoisted out of
the hold, the citizens and the post
master in the meantime standing about
waiting.
If the people of Alaska had the
backbone of a worm they could bring
these companies down on their knees
in a hurry. One way to do it is to
get territorial government and appoint
a commission to regulate and control
steamships and other public carriers.
There Is no excuse for the rotten
and reprehensible handling of the mail
by the steamship companies and a
howl should go up that would con
vince the government that Alaska is
entitled to more than buying Liberty
bonds and helping in war work. Val
