PORTLAND, Nov, 4, (/P)—The
Merchants Exchange radio re
ceived a message that the SS!
California was alongside the'
freighter Seiyo Maru, in distress1
southwest of the Aleutian Is- i
lands.
» our puDiicity nas now readi
ed the cumulative stage,” said
Mr. Bragaw, just before sailing
on the SS Yukon Saturday. “We
have had over 110 hunting par
ties up here and practically all
of them went away satisfied.
They have been our greatest am
bassadors and have spread such
rood news of the hunting we
can furnish that the name of
Alaska Guides is becoming known ,
all over the United States and
largely in Europe. We are gett
ing hundreds of inquiries from
prospective hunters, but many
of them want to see a represen
tative of the company. I will
try and talk to as many as
possible, and I confidently be
lieve we will be booked up to our
capacity for next season.”
The company now has GO head j
of horses wintering near Eklut
na.With horses, saddle and camp
equipment, they have $25,000 in- j
vested. Of the 45 men employ
ed, 26 live in and around Sew- i
ard. The Alaska Guides is onej
company that brings new mon
ey into the Territory and keeps ;
it here, Mr. Bragaw said. During j
the last two season’s they have!
done about $85,000 worth of bus-j
iness.
In addition to the various sec
tions they have heretofore hunt
ed such as the Chickaloon, Broad
Pass, Rainy Pass, Kenai Penisu
la, Alaska Peninsula, Cook Inlet,
they started operations on the
White River from McCarthy this
past season and will have par
ties in there next season. Harry
Boyden, guide who will be in
charge on White River, has just
been over to Anchorage for con
ference and returned to Cordova
on the Yukon. In addition, the
company plans to run pack
trains in to the Valley of Ten

Commander Hall and his brother
of jeers had been invited by Presi

Chamber of Commerce to attend
today’s luncheon, but press of bus- :

acceptance.
Referring to the press dispatches
which indicated that the Tuscaror
had been assigned to duty at Jun

that was a mistake because the
Tuscarora is not fitted for duty in
these waters. The original dispatch
to the effect that the Cutter Tala
poosa would come to the Juneau
station was correct, he said.

HIT OF HARD TIMES
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4, (/P)-The
United States will be among the
first of the nations to resume the
onward march of progress and its j
recovery will be in a large measure ;
due to the leadership of President
Hoover, Secretary of the Treasury
Andrew Mellon declared in an ad- i
dress here.
He contended that the present
period of depression is due pri
marily to world over-production of
certain commodities, especially raw
materials, with speculation in the
stocks as a lesser factor in the si
tuation. He declared President Hoo
ker was well qualified to deal with
the situation insofar as it affects
the United States. “I am confident j
,hat he will lead,” he said.
