CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
PARTY HITS STORMY
WEATHER WESTWARD
WEATHER BITTER COLD AND
SNOW LOW DOWN ON
RANGES
A cable wa3 received this morning
from Dutch Harbor from the Cham
ber of Commerce excursion party say
ing everyone on bo^rd was well and
enjoying the trip immensely.
A big dinner and dance was given
them on board the cutter Haida last
evening, to which the entire party was
invited.
The Haida had just towed the dis
abled ship West Oena in port where
she will be held for repairs. The Niger
is leaving port at 11:00 A. M. for
Aleutian Island points .
Mail was received on the Victoria
Wednesday tellin gof the Chamber of
Commerce excursion to the westward
as follows:
False Pass, Sunday, 8. a. m.
We arrived at False Pass last even
ning after a good trip this far. Had
a heavy blow across the straits and
Urbach disapproved of the fallacy of
a paper across his chest. Mrs. Ur
bach is a good sailor as is Miss Rit
chie.
| While in Kodiak we found fifteen
• workmen building four Standard Oil
tanks ,about twelve feet in diameter.
Kark Armstrong shipped a cow and
a calf from Kodiak to Kanatak, which
helped to relieve the stillness of our
trip. We stopped at Uganik on our
way west and there found “Pistol
Pete,” Mrs. Stanton, and Harry Horn
and wife. Mr. Horn, it will be remem
bered, was former wireless on the
steamer Starr. All were well-fixed
and comfortable.
At Kanatak we saw Bob McIntosh,
Tom Dodd, Gabe Santos, Derrick Lane
Evans, Reed and others. All were very
optimistic over the outlook for oil„
It was raining heavily in Kanatak and
there was much mud about the town.
The party went ashore in small boats,
and “J. P.” got his feet wet. At Uyak
j "Te found several old timers and had !
a good visit.
After leaving Kanatak we sailed for
Sand Point, and struck a very heavy
gale off Wide Bay. The blow lasted
throughout the day and well into the
night. The party was miserable and
seasick. At Sand Point Andy Gros
vold and wife entertained the party
with the best they had in stock, which
is real good stuff, if you know Andy.
Here we found Art. Mellick and wife,
and daughter. Mr. Mellick is a son
in-law of Andy and was former mate
on the old Dora.
At Unga we saw Judge Driffield,
Deputy Snook and Miss Stella Fuller,
the “Storm Queen.” Unga was very
quiet. The old Apollo mine, from
which five millfons were taken out, is
dosed and there is nothing doing much
in the fishing line.
We reached False Pass at day
break ,and shortly after landing the
Vie arrived giving us a chance to send
mail back. We are having a good trip
and enjoying it very much. WTe will
reach Unalaska tomorrow.
The Westward is certainly a hard
country, and it takes Alaskans of the
Pioneer stock to flourish out here.
It has been very cold for the past two
days, and the further west we get,
the colder it gets. The snow is low
down on the mountains, and from ap
pearances, winter is not far away.
The letter goes on to say that Mr.
Orlander is in the best of health and
getting younger every day, and that
Hannon thinks he is back on a ship
again. We surely would like to have
seen John in the days when he wore
a blue middie and bell-bottom trous
ers. Concluding the party says, “We
will be back, when we get there.”
GETS IN TOUCH WITH
M’MILLAN PARTY IN ARCTIC
WHITFIELD, Mass., July 21—Per
cey Noble, of this city, early Sunday
got in touch with the MacMillan Arc
tic expedition by wireless. Actual
two-way transmission took place and

all aboard the Bowdoin were all well.
Noble said the Bowdoin transmission

VALDEZ YOUTH IS BADLY
INJURED BY EXPLOSION
Trefton, Gromoff, a native boy of
about thirteen years of age, suffered
a serious injury last Friday when a
dynamite cap exploded in his left
hand tearing away a major part of the
hand and inflicting a deep wound in
his abdomen, says the Valdez Miner.
He was immediately rushed to the
hospital, where Dr. Buckley found the
member so badly torn that it was nec
essary to amputate the thumb at the
second joint, the first finger a short
distance below the third joint and the
second finger at the third joint, leav
ing only the third and little finger
and a part of the palm of his hand. A
wound was also found in the abdomen,
probably an inch or more in deplii,
from which several pieces of clothing
was^extracted, but no part of the met

COMMITTEE FOR
“DEFENSE TEST” IS
NAMED BY GOVERNOR
ROBERTSON HEADS TERRITOR
IAL COMMITTEE TO ARRANGE
FOR OBSERVATION
(Juneau Empire)
To make arrangements for Alaska’s
partid^ation in the national “Defense
Test*” Governor Scott C. Bone has ap
pointed, at the request of Major Gen.
eral C. G. Morton, Commander of the
Ninth Army Corps Area, a Central
Mobilization Committee composed of
R. E. Robertson, Chairman, Mayor I.
Goldstein, Juneau, Mayor M. J. Mul
vihill, Skagway, Mayor Karl Bjorn
stad, Haines, Mayor L. V. Ray, Sew
ard and Mayor M. J. onroy. Anchor
age. “Defense Test,” has been des
ignated by the Secretary of War for
September 12, next, and is expected to
be a national mobilization demonstra
tion which will serve as an occasion
for the assemblies and ceremonies in
volving public manifestations of loyal
ty and patriotism.
Recently Governor Bone was asked
by General Morton to appoint a cen
tral committee to formulate plans for
such a general mobiligation which will
include all units of the Army, State
Guards, constabularies, reservists, civ
ic and war veteran societies, etc. thru
out the entire country. The secretary
of War has asked that the civil au
thorities take hold of the suggestion
and work out plans which will make it
a sucess.
The underlying motive of the mob
ilization, it is said, is to test the na
tion’s military defense policy as estab
lshed in 1920 which calls for a small
standing army and a large number of
organized reserves and Federally rec
ognized National Guards. The mobi
lization will be carried out, without
expense to the Federal government,
exactly as if the country were assemb
ling its forces to repel invasion.
September 12 was decided upon for
the mobilization in honor of the real
first American offensive on the Allied
front in France, being the sixth anni
versary of the battle of St. Mihiel. It
is hoped that every town, city, mili
tary post or camp and other commun
ity in the entire country will aid in
making the occasion a success.
Alaska has no state guards or or
ganized army reserves of any kind
and, as pointed out by Gov. Bone to
Gen. Morton, this makes it a some
what difficult plan. He has suggested
that it will be possibly confined to the
Anchorage Barracks and Chilkoot
Barracks with co-incidental of the day
in Territorial schools. The members of
the committee appointed for Anchor
age wiii co-ooeiate with Maj. Byrom
for a suitable observance of the day
there.
Three new discoveries of high grade
free milling ore have been made in
the Hirst-Chichagof mine near Juneau
during the past two weeks, which will
put that property in the front ranks
of gold producers in Alaska. The dis
coveries were made in the middle of
July, and some of the ledges uncover
ed run over $95 a ton.
