Secretary Fisher announces that Mr. Ryan Has relinquished all His Rights
to the tract on Controller Bay, Another Prop Knocked
From Under The Muckrakers
Washington, Nov. 7.—Secretary
Fisher, of the interior Department
today publicly announced that Rich
ard S. Ryan, has formally relin
quished all his claim on the Can
yon Oreline terminal tract on Con
troller bay previously applied for.
Pople in Cordova and Katalla well
posted about Ryan’s project unhesi-1
tatingly declare that the foregoing ■
dispatch means that Ryan has re-!
linquished all rights to the tract of
land over which there has been so
much controversy.
It is believed that the “Canyon
Oreline” referred to is a misprint
name associated with Ryan on Con
troller bay, and that it was meant
for the Oriental Oil Co., under which
name Air. Ryan and his associates
have been operating.
“For some time,” stated a Kat
alla resident when called up on the
telephone, “it has been a well known
fact here that Mr. Ryan was dis
eouraged because of the work of
those who persisted in misreprer
senting conditions. We feel sure
that the dispatch means Mr. Ryan
seeing the futility of making head
way against the opposition that has
been aroused through the contro
versy, has decided to allow his
holuings to lapse.”

the states. She took excellent care
of her purse, in ordpr that the
light fingered gentry of Seattle
might not be tempted, only to lose

diamond ring and other jewelry.
The purse never left Mrs. Wallace

Alaskans, she left the wharf in Se

return ticket. While walking on
the deck, the steamer gave a sudden
lurch, slammed her against tho
side, and as she clutched for a sup
port, her purse went flying over
board.
