JUNEAU, Alaska, Jan. 16— Aban
| donment oi' Chilkoot aBrracks at
i Haines as a military post has been
j recommended to the War department
by Maj. Gen. Charges G Morton,
; Commanding General of the Ninth
j Corps Area, San Francisco, accord
ing to telegraphic advices received
from municipal authorities at Haines
1 by Gov. Scott C. Bone. It is undei
I stood the proposed abandonment
1 would take place after Juune 30, next.
“The abandonment of Chilkoot Bar
' racks would in my opinion, be ill-ad
vised at iths time,” said Gov. Bone.
He added he had telegraphed Secre
tary Work, of the Interior depart
ment, to communicate this opinion to
Secretary Weeks, of the War depart
ment. The Lynn Canal post is con
sidered one of the best maintain by
the army in Alaska.
When advised of the proposed ac
tion, Allen Shattuck, President of the
Juneau Chamber of Commerce, said
the matter would be brought to the
! attention of the executive committee
! with the recommendation that th*
| local Chamber protest against such an
| abandonment. Haines, it is under
! stood, has already made a strong
| protest and Skagway will probably
! take similar action.
Only two regular post are now
| maintained by the Army in the Ter
I ritory. One of these is at Anchor
! age and the other at Haines. Aban
j doned posts with building represent
j ing many thousands of ' " ;^vest
1 ed are located at Eagle, Tanana, ,St.
: Michael, Nome, and in Valdez Bay.
! Three of these St. Michael, Ft Gib
bon at Tanana, and Fort Lisctim at
Valdez, were closed down last year.

MORE ABOUT SCHOONER
(Continued from Page 1)
about Arctic lore to fill a nummber oi }
volumes but the same as most doers, j
are not much on the talk.
On the Teddy Bear, Bernard has
been farther north than some polar
expeditions, but, of course, he and
Arctic sea rovers of the unknown
wild places, were not paged by the
press the same as are explorers and j
near-explorers. Bernard was lost for |
two years on the Siberian side north
of East Cape, and given up, for dead.
In 1908 he reached above 71 degrees
latitude, following the ice. It was i
open season and water still shoved;
ahead, but he finally decided that he!
had not lost anything in the Arctic i
barrens and turned around.
Arctic explorers have penetrated ■
close to the pole on every side, save!
north ot Alaska and Siberia, and
outside of Wrangell island, near the
Siberian coast, no other land has
been discovered and whether there
is another large continent or other
islands in this great unknown
stretch is merely a matter of specu
lation. Captain Bernard and Captain
Allen think it very likely there is
landing owing to the trend of the Arc
tic currents and the wild fowl that
continue their flights northward in
that direction.
The Donaldson, on her way from
Nome experienced some rough weath
er. She ran into the 90-mile-an-nour
gale which put the Japanese freighter
on the rocks and was forced to seek
| shelter behind Kanak Island in Con-!
troller Bay. The wind blew off the]
! sidelights and members of the crew
| had to crawl on the deck to keep from
j being blown off.
The Donaldson formerly was in the
service of the war department, on the
j short run between Fort Liscum and
] Valdez. She is 72 feet over all and
powered by a 65 horse power Acme
. engine.
I Mrs. Allen who has accompanied
her husband in the Arctic, says that
she enjoys the life On one occasion
! the men on board, captured two
young polar bear, one of which is
! now in Point Detiance Park, Tacoma.
She tried to pet the cubs and was
bitten in the arm for her trouble. She
decided that it was impossible to
make friends of Polar Bear.
The Donaldson will be repaired at
Seattle and then will go back north
in the spring when navigation opens
and lake up her old mail route.—Al
aska Weekly.
