bedding was wrapped around him.
About a dozen traps and a land otter
skin were found ia the boat. Sivert
son had taken the compass, barometer,
magneto and a hunting knife out of
Gail’s craft and put them in the cabin
of his own boat for protection against
the weather. Gail left Gordova about
Decejnber 1 for Eshamy bay, and had
not since been heard from. He was a
German, about 37 years of age, and
had been in this country since 1911.
Sivertson was formerly a codfisher
rnan at Unga. He went to Cordova in
1U20 to fish, and . had resided in that
vicinity for the past five years. He
was a Norwegian, but a naturalized
citizen of the United States. lie was
about 45 years of age.
That this will be a good tourist
year is without question, according to
Noel W. Smith, general manager of
the Alaska Railroad, who recently re
turned from a trip to the Outside.
Bookings at the present time, said
Mr. Smith, are greater that they were
last year, and the only handicap to
be experienced in this line is the lack
of accommodations of the steamship
companies for handling the large par
ties seeking transportation to the
Territory. In spite, of these limita
tions the travel to the country will be
very heavy during the tourist season,
said Mr. Smith.
Tom Mattnews, eccentric oldtimer
of Cordova, who died there several
weeks ago as the result of burns re
ceived in .his cabin, .made sure that
none of his savings will go to enrich
the treasury of the Territory. He left
a will containing the proviso, leaving
all of his money to James Dineen,
local grocer, “unless legal heirs ap
pear within .six months after the will
is probated.”
Until a .month before he died Mat
thews kept his money in the Bank of
Seward, under the name of Charles
Johnson .No. JZ, asserting that to be
his legal name. -He told his lawyer
he wished to .repudiate a will made in
San .Francisco two years ago, under
the name of William Kaler, alleging
duress.
The oldtimer "is said to have-a son
living. The will and Dineen’s petition
to be named executor were filed.
Jfeit Step in Aviation.
William was thirsty for knowledge,
and interesting facts shone like jewels
in "his brain.
“I read today,” he said to Michael,
“of the wonderful progress made in
aviation. Men can now'do anything—
absolutely anything—abirti can do.”
But Michael was tired of wonders;
lie was more matter of fact.
“Is that Ko?”'iie answered. “Well,
when you see an airman fast asleep,
hanging on to a branch of a tree with
one foot, I’ll come and have a look.”—
