WASHINGTON, D. C., Mar. 6—
Harry S_ New. whose term as U. S.
senator expired with the adjourn
ment of the Sixty-seventh Congress,
stepped into his new job yesterday
as head of the postoffice department
and is now busily engaged in get
ting on to the ropes.
Pete Schmidt oldtime resident of
Nenana returned to town today
from a vacation trip to the States,
where he enjoyed several months
Slapping with the flappers of the
the Spirit City It’s fine for a va
cation, he says, but he is glad to
get back to Nenana. He did not find
the Outside as prosperous as it had
been pictured to him and declares
that Alaskans are much better off
than the average residents of the
cities visited by him. He saw many
idle men in Seattle and was many
times approached for the price of
a meal.
Mrs. J. B. Mathews arrived from
Fairbanks today enroute to her
home at Tanana.

COAL SUPPLY GIVES OUT
SHIP FURNISHINGS BURNED
_
Held in the storm which raged
along the coast recently until the
entire coal supply gave out, when
they were forced to burn all the
! loose wood available on the ship,
being able to just make Hoonah
without which port they would have
been hopelessly in distress, the crew
of the James Carruthers, Captain \V.
Parsons, big halibut fishing schooner
laugh it off and call it a day. The
Carruthers, of the Canadian Fish
and Cold Storage Company of
Prince Rupert, came in to Juneau
on the way to Prince Rupert with
a halibut catch of -10,000 pounds, to
take on a cargo of coal for the trip
south.
According to the men on the boat
the ship put in at Seward and took
on a supply of coal, which should
have lasted until it reached Prince
Rupert. Caught in the storm, the
boat was able to make only about
four miles an hour and when it
reached Cape Spencer the entire
coal supply had been used.
Carrying out. the orders of a cool
headed master who joked of their
plight, they said, the crew put to
, work at keeping the engine room
supplied with wood. Fish boxes, un
necessary fixtures, and every pos
' sible scrap was used. When the boat
put in at Hoonah every bit of wood
available had been used and had the
; trip been five or six hours longer
1 the ship would have been hopelessly
I in distress. Captain Parsons said.
i
! At Hoonah they secured five tons
i of coal from the cannery dock, for
1 the trip to Juneau. At this dock
| enough fuel was taken on to see
the Carruthers safely to Prince Ru
I pert and with a somewhat shaken
but undaunted crew the ship has
left for its own home port.

LUMBERMEN SAYS OUTLOOK
FOR NORTH IS VERY GOOD
Southeastern Alaska will have the
■ hipest timber business this year in
its history in the opinion of C. T
I' Gardner, member of the firm of
Sawyer, Reynolds & Co. of *uneau
Orders received by the company, he
| said, for logs for piling and for
j supplies for sawmills in the dis
! trict are unusually large.
Every sawmill in Southeastern
- Alaska can get all the orders they
! can take care of during the season
and are assured of the ‘biggest year
in their history. Foreign buyers are
looking for Alaskan tinker and sev
eral good contracts have been placed
with Alaskan mills, two of w'hich
i were secured by the Juneau Lumber
I Mills. An Australian schooner is
now in port at Ketchikan to load a
cargo for Australia. Under plans
I
now being perfected, steam freight
ers will load general cargoes at
Seattle for Australia and other
points and come to Alaska ports and
take on deck loads of lumber,
minimum requirements being 1,000.
I 000 board feet. The plan will be
J tried out during the coming season
| said Mr. Gardner. Shippers believe
j it will prove more successful than
! making shipments of lumber on sail
i ing schooners which was tried out
last season.
"The outlook generally for all in
dustries in Southeastern Alaska
lumber, fishing, mining, was never
brighter as far as my knowledge
goes, than it is for the immediate
future," said Mr. Gardner. The
company has three camps established
and is already getting out logs to
fill some of its contracts. It, and
every other logging concern, he said
will operate at capacity this year.
Mr. Gardner’s company has just
purchased 34,000 lineal feet of
spruce piling at Gambier Bay from
the Forest Service and 600,000
board feet at Red Bluff and Kelp
Bays. The latter purchase is to ap
ply on orders from the local mills.
Mr. Gardner was connected with
the Forest Service several years be
fore entering the Sawyer, Reynold
firm. He was connected with the
Tongass Forest staff first as Deputy
Supervisor and later as Superivisor
retiring from the latter office sev
eral months ago to enter private
business.
SKOF HOUSE OPEN
The Skof House, whicjh has been
closed during the later part of the
winter, is now open again, and the
rooms are for rent at moderate
prices.
