sixty mile gale with mountainous seas. At 5 a. m. the tug
cut her hawsers and the Japanese boat had both anchoi-s
down with the windlass smashed and huge seas piling
over her.
At 8:00 a. in. the Shinkona Maru S. 0. S.ed the tug
asking if it was possible to come to their assistance at
once. The tug replied “Impossible to come to your assist
ance now; we are lucky if we save our own ship.”
At 8:10 a. m. the Shinkona Mura’s cables parted and
the vessel struck heavily on the northeast point of Monta
gue island. The seas are washing clear over her and the
vessel will be a total loss with probable loss of life. She
sent out S. O. S. calls up to the time of striking.
At 8:12 the tug sent her a message in answer to her
S. 0. S. saying “We are powerless to help you.”

JL’NEAL, Nov. 28.—"The tact tha i
Alaska eoa! is at last reaching loca
markets,” said Governor Scott C. Bone
before leaving for Seward on the Ad
miral Watson, “is most gratifying to
me, as it must be to all Alaskans. It
has long been an anomaly that, with
large deposits of excellent coal in
many parts of the Territory, Alaskan
communities have been compelled to
use the imported product. It was my
hope that coal from the Matanuska
field would be put on the markets of
Southeastern Alaska last year. The;
delay evidently has been unavoidable
but now that native coal is available
it behooves the people to give it pref- <
erence. There is no doubt of its
quality.
“The possibility of coal production, :
not only in the Matanuska field, but i
elsewhere in the Territory, are real
and promising and the day should not
be far distant when Alaska coal shall
be exclusively handled and consumed <
throughout Alaska.
“Ten years ago at Dutch Harbor i!
witnessed the spectacle of a Norwe
gian vessel unloading Australian coal
for use by the American Navy. That
was an object lesson of short
sightedness on the part of the gov
ernment in locking up and leaving un-'
developed Alaska’s coal deposits and
shipping a foreign product across the
seas at heavy cost. It is reassuring
and a sign of the times that such
spectacles are of the best.

BROWN & HAWKINS’ CORP., SEWARD, ALASKA
CHICAGO, Nov. 28.—A two-fisted,
iery denunciation of the administra-l
ion’s foreign policies with a merciless
laying of Secretary Hughes’ repara
ions proposal, wrere the outstanding
features of the speech tonight by Hi
•am Johnson, before the Cook County
Eteal Estate Board, formally opening
lis campaign for the presidency.
Senator Johnson gave his approval
yf the Soldier bonus, demanded innne
liate tax reduction, aid for farmers,
ind the enactment of a child labor law
ind a minimum wage lawr as eonstitu
:ional amendments.
The Senator tore into Sec. Hughes’
atest effort to get the United States,
is he charged, “into the cockpit of;
Europe,” and deplored the lack of a
genuine American policy at Washing-1
ion.
“America has evils at home which:
should be corrected,” shouted the Sen-j
itor. “Until we show we are able to
seep our own house clean, why should
ye try to show our neighbor how to
jeep house. A participation into Eu
'opean affairs at this time would mean
yur entrance into another war. Letj
Europe lay down the swrord and take'
ip the sickle before she calls for help.
The money spent in armaments and
irmed invasions of territory would
enable them to purchase their own
necessities. I am bitterly opposed to
mixing into the European muddle at
my time, and much more so at the
present.”
In speaking of the soldier bonus
Senator Johnson deplored the lack of
;aith kept with the returning veteran,;
ivho found his job gone, himself out
yf step with the business world, and
th emoney appropriated for his care
md support, stolen by grafting offi
cials.
