PIONEER NAVIGATOR
GOES TO HIS REST
Captain .Taint's Carrol, one of
Ili«» hest known pionerrs and nav
igafors, died recently in Seattle,
ills death removes one of llie
most. picturesque characters of
Alaska's oai'ly days.
Capl.. Carrol was of Irish par
nil age and ho was nearly 70 years
• The passing of Capt. "Jim
my" Carrol brings to mind recol
loci ions of early-day Alaskan life,
when he as commander of the
llrsf, hoals lo run north in the
"eighties" weaned his way into
I lie hearts of all whom lie met.
Capt. Carrol had a free-easy,
matter-of-fact way of adapting
himself to any circumstances, no
matter what, and his death will
cause a shock to a wide circle of
friends.
(.'apt. Carrol first came to
Alaska as njaster of the I*. C.
steamer Idaho. Me was comman
dci of tho Ancon, for years on
(he Cottasre (lily and then the
Qucon. Ilis last command was
the cruising steamer Spokane, lie
retired front service live years
ago, when he was given the po
sition as port captain at Seattle
for the Pacific Coast Steamship
company.
Capt. Carrol first gained fame
when he went fo Washington as
a delegate from the llrst territor
ial non-partisan convention, to
seek legislation for Alaska. When
congress turned him down Carrol
told the housra committee on ter
ritories that he. could raise $15,
000,000, double the amount that
Alaska cost the government, if
the government would sell the
country. This action Carrol knew
would he unconstitutional, but it
made congress sit up and take
notice, and out of it grew a per
sonal investigation of this coun
try by a junketing committee of
congressmen. Capt. Carrol had
an inimitable personality. lie
was a man that made many
friend*, and knew how to retain
jrood friendship.
Following the abandonment of
the Sitka coaling station Ihe gov
ernment intends t»> establish
powerful fortifications on Kiskka
island, «»ne of the larger islands
of the llat island jrroup, western
Aleutians. The island has «'ui ex
cellent harbor.

Blend Flour Best I

certain uses; but the housewife finds it hard to work.
C|J A straight soft wheat flour also has its good qualities.

working every day with flour, has learned that a judicious
mixture of hard and soft wheats, gives best results.
