GAY YOUNG MAN
WANTED BY POLICE
Edward P. Morton, Former Real
dent of Kenai is a Fugitive
From Justice
Edward P. Morion, a former
resident of Kenai, Cook Inlet, is a
fugitive from justice, sought by
the police of several cities for al
leged infractions of the law. A
picture and detailed description of
this good looking young man has
been received at Kenai with a re
quest for his apprehension should
he return to his former stamping
grounds.
How Morton betrayed the trust
of business associates at Kenai
is pretty generally known here
abouts. While in Seattle spend
ing his ill-gotten gains he won
th«> heart and hand of a society
belle of that city, only to desert
her the day after his marriage.
Morion was next hoard from as
secretary of a country club at Los
Angeles. According to persons!
interested in keeping track of him,
he got away with considerable «»f
I lie funds of that aggregation,
lleeing to Canada.
With his aptitude for making
friends and gaining tin* confidence
of the people generally, Morton ■

THE LAST TRIP
OF THE BERTHA
Little Old 8teamer Makes Last
Trip and Will be Converted
Into a Freighter
The steamer Bertha, now
south-bound, on her last I rip to
Aiaska as a passenger vessel,
lulled 10 caM in at Valdez on h«;t
way f"om Seward, as the Samp
son came by the same day, taking
passengers and mail and leav
ing nothing for the little Bertha.
■For the same reason the Bertha
will pass up Cordova. She went
in at Landlock bay to load copper
in to Landlock bay to load copper
The Bertha is the last of the
Mohicans-the appendix of the
h'imblv! fleet which brought the
pioneers of southern Alaska and
the adjacent interior to the north
in the lale nineties. The Dora
still runs from Seward westward,
but she was not a part of the old
Seattle fleet except for a short
time. The Nome City, Excelsior,
Santa Ana, Santa Clara, Portland,
Wolcoll ami CSolden <Jale have
preceded the llerlha into the
freighter class or the honeyard.
The San I a Clara was n<>! strictly
in the pioneer class. She came
a little later, first ;is the James
Dollar, and. being bigger an.I
better equipped than the earlier
boats, was considered a prize
winner.
Tin; Brrllia has I lonjrest on
the run. She carricrl mil the
scriptural rule that the first .shall
he last. If the wasn't the first,
she was so near it that hardly
anybody can remember any oth
er boat that heal her to it. Hardly
anybody who has made several
trips between Seattle and Prince
William sound has failed to make
at least one trip on the Bertha.
She is slow but she is safe. She
is one of the very few vessels on
the Valdez run that never had a
serious mishap, and she has car
ried an army of people from
stranded and wrecked hoals, hip
and little.
The future of the Bertha is
uncertain, except that she will
be made a freighter similar to the
Santa Ana, with open hatches fore
and aft. The Alaska Coast com
pany will .keep her ami sail her
up and down Die coasi In South
eastern Alaska.
The Rerlha is a wooden vessel
of les> than 1.000 tons and will
he very useful as a small freight
SIR. SAMPSON
DEPARTS SOUTH
Steaim r Sampson arrived in
port from .'In- weslwnrd vester-l-iy
eveii»ng <»:30 and sailed for
Seattle et H o'clock. She wen I oul
v. ifSi n i msenger list «»f about, lift,
innst of whom were from Seward
and the interior hack «»f Seward.j
She brought a few from Cook In
let. The vessel also carried 1,-j
win eases of salmon, taken on at
Seldovia and Port Oraliam. She]
did not go west of I lie inlet on this
trip.
Sailing from Seattle August 15,
the Sampson will take the Her
llia's run to Cook Inlet and Ko
diak. On (he trip«*ailing from
Seattle September 5 she will go
to Cook Inlet, and probably up as
far as Ship creek, on Knik Arm,
bnt will go to Kodiak, as the mail
contract of the Alaska Coast com
pany calls for only one trip a
month to Kodiak. Sailing Septem
ber 27, she will go both to the
Inlet and to Kodiak. In October
she will sail on the Tlertlia's date,
the 20th.
