COLD STORAGE
BUYING FISH
The San Juan Fisheries and Cold
Storage opened for business here this
week and are now buying halibut in
any quantity offered. The price paid
for fish is six and three cents, which
is within three cents of the price
paid at Ketchikan and southern ports.
Owing to a large supply of frozen fish
on hand at the beginning of the sea
son, the price has been lower this
year than for many years, but it is ex
pected to stiffen within the next few
weeks.
Many improvements have been made
by the local company and halibut in
nearly any quantity can now be cared
for. Manager Jensen has the machin
ery of the big plant overhauled and
in good shape, and ice is being made
daily.
FAMOUS SPY GOES
INTO HIDING PLACE
Friends Begin Thoro Search
for Dr. Karl Graves
STARTED FOR ST. LOUIS
Detective, After Saying He had Learn
ed of Plot to Overthrow German
Republic, Left New York Late
Last August.
BROOKLYN. N. Y., Apr. 11.—Once
called the “greatest spy of the cen
tury," Dr. Karl Graves has disappear
ed. Last August 29 he left his room
ing house, in Brooklyn, N. Y., on a trip
to St. Louis, Mo. He has not been
seen since. Now his friends are
searching for him. Private detectives
and the police, and even the Depart
ment of Justice, it is said, hajre been
enlisted in the man hunt.
Discovered German Plot.
Information about Dr. Graves’ disap
pearance is given reluctantly, but it
i
has been learned that while he still
was in New York he obtained infor -
mation that the royalist party in Ger

tended to disrupt the republic and
put the monarchy back into existence.
Dr. Graves is said to have receiv
ed a letter from a group of German
royalist sympathizers in St. Louis.
Then, so the story goes, he decided to
go to St. Louis to find out more about
the plot, if possible.
Vanished At Station.
Dr. Graves has been traced as far
as a railway station in New York
City. There the trail ends.
Before his departure for St. Louis
he is said to have given friends docu
ments which they were to keep se
cret in case something happened to
him. These documents are under
stood to predict that President Ebert,
of Germany, who died recently, was
to be poisoned by a group of his foes.
Ed Yogi and C. Kern were passen

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through,
which they passed, so also is THE ALASKA RAILROAD each
day accomplishing much towards the building of an empire.
In place of the old, tremendously expensive and inconve
nient methods of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
road that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage
and Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the
Chickaloon and Chatanika branches, is at your service. For
further information write
