department of the Alaska Engineer

to get away from the everlasting
knocking against the acts of the com
mission is said to have caused his res
ignation.

GOODS TO BE SOLD
FOR FREIGHT CHARGES
ANCHORAGE, (By Mail)—Various
sorts of articles, ranging from a hatch
et to a burglar-poof safe and from a
mop stick to a complete set of house
i furnishings, will 'be sold in the imme
diate future at public auction on the
dock at Anchorage to obtain the un
paid freight and storage charges on
them. The sale, which is an annual
event', will be conducted by T. L. Mur- j
phy, receiving and forwarding agent j
of the Alaskan Engineering Commie-!
sion, which owns and operates the j
dock.
There are eighty "lots” of mercliau-|
dise advertised for this year’s auc- j
A "lot” consists of goods covered by
a single manifest or bill of lading,
and may contain one article or a hun
dred. "Lots" in the nature of trunks,
suitcases, carpenters’ tool chests, can
vas sacks of personal effects and other
classes of closed containers are not
described with any further particu
lars in the advertised list; but things
packed in crates, like stoves, bed
steads and show cases, are made the
subject of detailed information.
Some of the “lots” are of consider- j
able value—for instance, an ISOO-j
pcund safe; a large shipment of house-i
hold effects; two carpenters’ tool'
chests; a large plate glass show case; j
a plow and a wagon box with four
wheels, one pair shafts, one seat and
set of harness.
What is inside the closed containers
such as tool chests, suit cases and can
■•as sacks, is a mystery that will be
solved only on examination by pur
chasers, after the auction. At the
time of the sale “lots” .may be viewed j
and hefted, but none can be opened. '
Most of the valuable “lots’ ’ are |
marked with the names of consignors ;
and consignees. Acceptance of such j
goeds, for some reason or other, was j
-efused on arrival by the original pur-j
chasers, and after the merchandise
’’nd been held on the dock for several
months the vendors in the States evi
dently concluded forfeiture would be
cheaper than payment of storage fees
an freight charges both ways. All j
except a very few of the suit cases and
canvas sacks of personal effects arc
devoid of the names of the owners.
In the opinion of the dock officials,
these articles were left behind by out
going steamship passengers. The
suit cases and sacks probably were ;
sent to the dock to be checked or call
ed for at time of steamship departures.
The owners of the property, who prob
ably spent too much time In saying
good bye to friends, had to abandon it
to catch their steamships.
The auction sales always havfe been
very .well-attended, and usually the
bidding has been quite spirited. This
year’s sale promises as well in both
respects.
