LIBEL AGAINST
MAUD TO COME
UP AT JUNEAU
STANDARD OIL SUIT AGAINST
THE EXPLORER’S VESSEL IS
TRANSFERRED TO JUNEAU
A libel action against the Norwe
gian ship Maud, owned by the famous
explorer, Roald Amundsen, filed by
the Standard Oil Co., has been trans
ferred to Juneau from the Nome dis
trict court, papers being filed in the
office of the Clerk of Court, says the
Juneau Empire. A transfer was made
on motion for a change of venue made
by Lyons & Orton, attorneys for the
libelant.
Out of several similar actions start
ed against the ship following its re
turn to American waters after an ab
sence of more than three years in
Arctic and Russian waters, that of
the Standard Oil is said to be the first.
| It was commenced shortly after the
| vessel made port at Nome. It was li
beled there, released on penal bond
and proceeded to Seattle.
The suit of the Standard Oil is for
petroleum oils alleged to have been
furnished the vessel at Seattle in
June, 1922, amounting to $649.86, to
gether with 8 per cent interest since
that date. The complaint alleges the
Maude sailed from Nome on June 23,
1922, for Russian waters en route on
a voyage of exploration in the Arctic
cean regions. The vessel next en
tered an American port at Nome last
August.

Wreck of Jeanette Caused
Amundsen s Polar Flights
SEATTLE, Wn., Nov. 23. (^-.Arc
tic navigators returning here from
their summer incursion's into the
North by way of Bering Strait recall
that the wreck of the Jeanette orig
inated the inspiration for the latest
attempt of Captain Roald Amund
sen to float a vessel across, or near,
the North Pole.
Commanded by St. George Wash
ington de Long, U. S. N., the Jean
ette moved into the Arctic thru Ber
ing Strait in 1879, and after passing
Wrangell Island was locked in ice.
She crumpled and sank June 13, 1881,
after 22 months in the pack.
Part of her crew perished in strug
gling over the ice to the mouth of
the Lena River, in Siberia, and more
died in trying to find a human habi- i
tation. One of the survivors was
Chief Engineer George W. Melville, i
who later became an admiral.
Three years after the crumpling,!
casks from the Jeanette were found
on the coast of Greenland, giving ev
idence they had passed across the
Arctic ocean.
Amundsen’s first drifting exploit
was in the Gjoa to make the west
ward passage of the Arctic above
North America. He completed the
voyage in 1906. Next, in the Fram,
he went to the other end of the
earth, discovering the South Pole, j
December 16, 1911.
The explorer again started for the ■
North in 1922, this time in the Maud, j
propelled by crude oil and sails. While
away, he made two attempts to reach
the Pole by air. In the summer ol‘!
1923, a plane, which he had carried j
with him, "wrecked its landing gear
in trying to rise at Wainwright.
On May 21, 1925, Amundsen and i
five others hopped off in two planes j
ifrom the Spitsbergen Islands to fly
over the Pole. The six returned
June 18 in one of the planes, the
other having been wrecked 150 miles
from the pole.
Amundsen, now 53, is preparing to
reach the Pole in a dirigible.
ROAD COMMISSION
LOOKS FORWARD TO
ACTIVE YEAR, 1926
LAST CREW IN THE FIELD AT
WORK LOWER KENAI LAKE
—THRU IN 2 WEEKS
Another two weeks will see the
completion of the Alaska Road Com
mission road work in the region, '
near the lower end of Kenai lake,
come to a halt, announced Hawley
Sterling, supt. for this district, who
was a business visitor in Seward
over the week end. A crew of men
have been working constructing a
winter trail around the string of
lakes in the vicinity, a distance of
approximately eight miles. This
same crew, during the early part of
last summer, built the Nuka Bay
trail from the beach to the Alaska
Hills Mines property. Mr. Sterling
stated that with the exception of
three men still at work in the Mc
Kinley National Park, overhauling
tractors for hauling in next sum-'
mer’s equipment and supplies, the
crew working in this district is the
last one in the field.
This road around the lakes will
be used by the mail carriers ■who,
once a month make delivery thru
out the Kenai peninsula district, pri
or to the time the lakes freeze over.
When the lakes become solidly froz
en, the mail will be taken into the
country over the lakes, but before
that time, in the past, it has always
been quite a problem for the mail
contractor to circumvent the lakes.
Regarding the matter of new road
work for next season, Mr. Sterling
said this would be taken up during ■
the coming winter months, that at
the present time, there was nothing
for publication with the exception
that another active season is looked
forward to.
Chas. S. Mathison, Hope placer op
erator, departed for Seattle on the
Yukon, en route to Texas. Mr. Math
ison expects vto return North some
time in March.
F. J. Finn, owner of the Alaska
Cafe, departed for Los Angeles Sat
urday. Mr. Finn has closed his eat
ing house for the winter. He re
turns next March to open up.
