GRAND TRUNK VESSEL
GETS ORDERS TO QUIT j
The Department of Commerce in j
n recent ruling in the case of the J
Grand Trunk Pacific and the Alaska j
Steamship company has held that |
the motorboat Tillamook, which has i
been operating in waters oP' South- j
eastern Alaska as a feeder for the j
Grand Trunk, cannot engage in the j
American coastwise trade.
The Tillamook is an American
built boat, 119 feet in length, with
28 feet beam, and was launched at
North Bend. Oregon, in 1911. She
was purchased by the Grand Trunk
about three years ago, and sent to
Alaska to run between Prince Ru
pert and American ports in Alaska.
Capt. Edward Thornton, of Juneau,
has been her master. She has been
an important factor in Alaska trade,
running from Alaskan ports, can
neries, etc., and taking freight, most
ly fish, and passengers to Prince
Rupert for transportation east over
the Grand Trunk Pacific. The Til-'
lamook was recently at Juneau un
dergoing inspection.
A letter from the Department of <
Commerce to the collector of cus-:
toms at Seattle says:
“In the case of the Grand Trunk
Pacific and Alaska Steamship com-,
pany, it is understood that the
steamer Tillamook is operating be
tween your district and ports of
Alaska and in the foreign trade.
The company is capitalized for $50,
000, represented by 500 shares, of
which 495 shares are owned by the |
Grand Trunk Pacific Dock company, j
a domestic corporation, the majori- j
ty of which stock is alien owned.
“It is clear that under the pro-1
l
visions of sections 27 and 58 of the
Merchant Marine Act, 1920, this1
vessel cannot engage in the trade j
with Alaska. The question whether i
she can engage in the foreign trade j
need not be given consideration at j
the present time.”

IT was a scientific expedition composed of three'
white men and five Indians.
Thcv tramped clear across Labrador, five months of
that heart-breaking going through rough country
that simply means death to footwear.
One man wore Goodrich “Hi-Press” and the rest
wore--other makes.
Anti before the traverse was completed every sol
itary boot and shoe had worn out except Goodrich!
The chief of the party (who wore the Goodrich) sent
the shoes into us as proof. You should see fhem—
the corrugations on the sole are not all worn off.
There is no doubt of the superior wearing quality
of Goodrich Rubber Roots and Shoes. It has been
proven time and again.
Fishermen, laborers, hunters, miners all agjee that
the footwear with the Red Line Round the Top
stands supreme for comfort and all around service.

10 STILL PROTEST
As announced in the columns of
The News on Saturday, the steam-;
ship Victoria is enroute to Nome on j
the last voyagf of the season, having; '
sailed from Seattle on September I
23. And thereby hangs a tale.
. Several weeks ago, the Alaska ;
Steamship company announced that j
the last sailing of the Victoria from ,
Seattle would be on September 13, '
or just a month earlier than usual.
Immediately upon receipt of the1
news that their season of navigation '
was to be cut short a month, the i
citizens of Nome made violent pro- j
test through their chamber of com
merce. appealing to Governor Riggs
and to others of influence to aid in :
securing another sailing of the ’Vic
toria after September 13. The pro
test was based on the injury such u !
curtailment of service would work
on mining in the Nome district. It
was argued that the steamship com
pany could not reasonably claim
that the October sailing in previous
years had been a non-paying trip,
for. as a matter of fact, it has
always been the best paying trip of
the Victoria. The people of Nome
also assured the company that they
would attend to the lightering of
cargo in case the regular lighterage
company failed to function when
the steamship arrived. And they
threatened to withdraw all future
patronage from the company in case
of a refusal to send the Victoria
North for the October sailing.
Governor Riggs took the matter
up with Secretary Payne and the
officials of the Alaska Steamship
company. The company was at
tacked from all sides and with such
aggressive methods that it finally
capitulated. The Victoria is now
enroujp to Nome, and will leave
the Seward peninsula port on the
last trip south about the middle of
October, as has been the custom in
years gone by.
TRAPPER FOUND DEAD
BY SEARCHING PARTY
The body of Tom O’Brien was
found on September 2 at the head
waters of the Whiting river by the
William Strong searching party,
which had been despatched to find
the missing man. He had been dead
for some time and the indications
were that he had died of scurvy.
Official reports have not as yet been
received at the marshal’s office of
the details of the case.
O'Brien, a pioneer of the eighties
in the Interior, left a year ago last
spring to spend a year in the head
waters of the Whiting river, which
empties near Snettisham. He was
to run a trap line. He should have
been in town early in the spring for
provisions, and when he did not ar
rive, a searching party was sent
out under- the leadership of William
Strong, the Taku river man, with
the result as above stated.
ALASKA NEWSPAPERMAN
NOW LOCATED AT HILO
Charles A. Derry, formerly con
nected with the Cordova Times and
delegate to the recent Democratic
national convention at San Fran
cisco, is now employed by the Tri
bune at Hilo, Island of Hawaii. He
went to Honolulu from San Fran
cisco, and remained there for a time
before going to Hilo.
Mr. Derry is well known in Alas
ka. Before going to Cordova, he
was located at Iditarod, where he
was editor and manager of the Pio
neer for a year or more.
Pulpwood will be sold from the
Alaskan National Forests, with such
provisions for future supply as will
assurance the permanence of the
industry.
According to Government esti
mates, it is believed that a complete
exploration of the national forests
in Southern Alaska will show that
there is a quarter of a million
horsepower of undeveloped water
power possibilities.
