eau Men Aboard.
Juneau. Oct. 27—The alarm whidl
spread over this city last Friday ev
ening when the report of the noa
arrlval of the Launch Favorite, at
Tenekee Springs was brought to
town by the motorboat Pacific, still
continues. '
The concern for the passengers of
the missing boat, which Included
Captain Bob Barclay, engineer Louis
Kalstene, and 12 others was height
ened when the Pacific, with Captain
Tibblta and Walter Elwell aboard,
departed for a search of the missing
boat, returned with no news as to
it* whereabouts
The Favorite left this city on
Monday morning, October 20th, but
up to noon todar, nothing has been
heard from her. The launch Union,
returned to this city two days ago
from a trip to Sitka, Gypsum and
Tenakee, and reports having run in
to one of the worst storms ever ex
perienced in her history. i
The arrival of the Georgia this
evening is awaited with much anx
iety, as she will be able to tell
whether or not the little boat with
her 14 passengers h.is reached land
In safety. !
Many well known Juneau men are
amoug the Favorite's passengers.
Among them aie John Markrud, of
the Arctic braber shop; Helmer
Carlson, of the Montana bar; Louis
Carson of the cold storage plant;
Paul Vincent and Ed J"ohnson, and
Rudolph Bluht of the Juneau Liq
uor company.
In telling of the alarm over the
non-arrival of ^he Favorite the Jun
eau Dispatch of last Saturday says:
Friends of t±e missing party are
building their hopes that everything
la yet all right with the launch on
the theory that the Favorite may
have broken down and is at safe
anchorage in seme cove, of which
there are many on the Tenakee run.
When the Favorite left here last i
Monday her sceering gear was not j
In the best, of coudition, but a break |
In this apparatus should not have
taken very long to repair.
The Favorite is a staunch, sea
worthy, sloop-tigged boat of 40 feet
In length. She carried plenty of
canvas. She also had a 12 horse
power engine that has never given
trouble.. She is owned by William
Dalton.
The Favorite was ballasted with 6
tons of cement which she carried in
her hold. Should she hit ice or a
rock with this ballast, say mariners
she would sink in less than five
minutes. I
Owing to the severity of the
storms that lashed Southeastern Al
aska waters e-.irly this week, the
Favorite undoubtedly encountered
heavy going shortly after she left
Juneau.
Last Tuesday is characterized by
men who came in on the Dolphin as
having been a fearful day on the w»<
ter, i
Several boat owners are talking
of going out searching this evening
if news of the Favorite's safety, and
that of her passengers, is not re
ceived by that time.
PART OF SWAG STOLEN FROM
GAXTVS STORE RECOVERED
Considerable excitement was man
ifest aboul tov u this morning when
it was rumored that the thieves who
broke into the Ganty store last
week had been arrested. Upon learn
ing the details, it is found that little
Miss Ermine Latham, while playing
house near her home discovered a
quantity of bacon and some canned
goods in a deserted shack. She im
mediately told her parents. Marsh
al Page and Mayor Ganty were at
once notified and a search of the
building revealed one slab of Prem
ium brand baco i and * Back of can
ned goods, evidently a portion of th
plunder secured by the thieves.
Working on the theory that this was
one of the bold robber's divvies, a
careful search ct a number of shack
in the immediate vicinity failed to
disclose the whereabouts of any
more of the stuff stolen, and the
burglars are therefore still at large.
REWAid) OFFERED.
A reward of fifty dollars ($50.)
will be paid for information leading
to the arrest aud conviction of the
person or persona who robbed the
store of P. H. Ganty on the night
of October 20, 1913.

ahead of other people, but to get
ahead of ourselves. To break our
own record, to outstrip our yester
days by todays, to bear our trial*
more beautifully than we ever
dreamed we could, to whip the
tempter aside as we never whipped
him before, to give as we never
have given, to do our work with
more forco and a finer finish than
evei—this is the true idea to get
ahead of ourselves.—MaJtbie Dav

MANY AT GOVERNOR'S
RECEPTION TO DISTIN
The reception given by Gov..J. F.
A. Strong and Mrs. Strong in honor
of Gen. W. L. Dlstin last Thursday
night, ws one of the'most successful
social affairs ever held in the hand
some official residence of Alaska's
chief executor. Despite the inclem
ent weather, the halls, drawing
room, library and dining room were
thronged with people who called to
pay their respects to the honor gues
and to Gov. and Mrs. Strong. It is
doubtful if the great mansion ever
held so many oeople at oue time as
were congregated under its roofs
between the hours of 9 and 11 o'
clock. Unlike most functions of the
kind there seemed a. disposition on
the part of the guests to linger just
a little longer in the enjoyment of
fellowship rather than hasten away
to other duties. Although it had
been announced that the reception
was to be very informal there were
many beautifully gowned I ladies
present.
The reception line was formed at
the farthest end of the ; drawing
room and as the throhg passed they
turned and entered the conservatory
where prominent society ladies pre
sided over the punch bowl. A \sevey
of beautiful young ladles served in
the spacious dining room. The pop
ular little den which is the Gover
nor's residential office served as
a smoking room and here the men
enjoyed .themselves at leisure. A
small room on the upper floor was
also utilized to care for the over
flow from the small office room.
Mrs. H. P. Crowther, accompanied
by Miss Kempthorne on the piano,
contributed two songs to the enjoy
ment'of the evening, and Miss Kemp
thorne gave two piano solos.
The reception for Gen. Distin was
the first .'general reception to be
held at the Governor's House since
it has been occupied by Gov. and
Mrs. Strong.—Juneau Empire. I

Nome, Alaska, Oct. 15—Miners
who have worked the beach sands
here for their gold thing it likely
that the storm that half destroyed
the city drove ashore gold bearing
sands that will more than pay for
the damage done. After each big
storm miners pan the new sand that
hag been cast up. The bottom of
th« sea in front of Nome is rich in
gold, but no method of .working it
has been found.
Captain Ballinger, of the United
States revenue cutter Bear, inform
ed the citizns' relief committee yes
terday he would advise his depart
ment at Washington that additional
assistance was urgently needed here
for sufferers from , the recent storm
and flood.

titute.
