SAMUEL BAIN HAS
DISAPPEARED; NOT
SEEN SINCE JAN. 1
Some anxiety is felt In Juneau f t
th - whereabouts and safety of Sam
uel Rain, 23 years of age, who has
not been seen or heard from since
the morning of January 1. Rain
was in Thane the morning of Jan-!
nary 1 and telephoned in from there,
to friends. Since that time he has
not been heard from, lie did not:
sleep in his room at the Bergman!
Hotel tho night of January 1 and i
has not been there since. His
clothing and personal effects are!
all at tho hotel, as ha left them
when he waa there last.
The steamer Spokane was at
Thane, southbound, the morning of
January 1. and it is thought he may
have left on the steamship. Efforts
are now being made by the authori
ty's to got in touch with the steam
ship officials in the Southern Al
aska towns and at Seattle, in an
effort to trace him. Chief of Police
T. E. P. Keegan said today. The
authorities are also attempting to
get in touch with his parents in
Carney’s Point, N'. .1., to advise them
of Iris disappearance from Juneau.
Chief Keegan said he did not sus
pect foul play and believes Bain left
on the Spokane, probably without
contemplation until the sailing time
of the hoat. and not flunking to ad
vise his friends in Juneau. He Is,
not at Spec! River or Jualin, Chief;
Keegan said.
Bain has made his home in Juneau
the past three years. Ho was em
ployed by the Alaska Junau Com
pany for some time until December
27 last, lie was a likable chap, mod
erate in habits, and so far as known,
had no enemies.

ALASKA MUSEUM
MUST HAVE AID,
SAYS GOVERNOR
Tells Association Territory
Should Provide Money
for Institution.
Tho responsibility of the Terri
torial government for tho safekeep
ing, maintenance and expansion of
the Alaska Museum and Historical
Library was emphasized in a short
talk made by Gov. Scott C. Bone
at tho annual meeting of the Al
aska Historical Association and also
In the annual report made to the As
sociation by Rev. A. 1*. Vashevaroff,
secretary. Governor Bono stressed
the need of intereating the Territor
ial Legislature in the institution to
the end that adequate provision be
made for it.
Karl Thelle was elected vice presi
dent, succeeding Dr. D. S. Neuman,
resigned; Secretary Kashcvaroff and
Treasurer John R ck were re-elected
to their respective offices. Two new
members, Arthur G. Shoup and
Blsliqi) J Crimont w re elected to
tho Board of Managers, succeeding
€. D. Garfield, resigned, and It. .1,
Sommers, whose term has expired.
Governor Makes Talk
Although the attendance was not
as large as had been expected, en
thusiasm was displayed by the mem
bers of the Association regarding the
past work accomplished by it and in
tho growth of the Alaska Museum
inc ■ it was opened by the organiza
tion some two years ago.
Governor Bone, in a brief talk, re
viewed the activities of the Associa
tion. He declared it is the duty of
all Alaskans to display an active in
terest In the success of the Library
and Museum. The responsibility for
saving the institution for the Terri
tory. he said, rests with the local
Legislature.
Report of Secretary
While the membership roll of tho
Association is larger than last year,
many of those carried thereon are
in arrears and. on Ihe basis of the,
actual number whose dues are up-to
date, the number of members in good
standing is 25 per cent smaller than,
nt the same period last year, accord
ing to tho report of Secretary Kashe■|
viroff. Juneau, with 105 members
in good standing, leads the list,
which contains only 236 names.
During the past year the Assocla :
tion issued a descriptive booklel
which found ready sale to tourists
and others who visited the Museum.,
Through the-booklet, said the secre-,
tary Ihe Association and Museum
have gained wide publicity through-,
out the country and many requests;
for copies have been received from [
various institutions.
The Association, through the see I
rotary, also Turnished information!
and data to various schools for use
in connection with their work, sub *
Jects covered in whole or in part
being Alaskan Indians, reindeer in-]
dustrv, history of Sitka, history of j
Wrangell, early Alaskan explorer?,1
governors of Alaska and others. Lee- |
tures were given in both the local:
and Douglas High Schools. No ex-1
tensive detailed research work wasj
attempted owing to the pressure of J
other duties of the secretary The1
campaign to keep alive interest in
the Museum and Library was active
ly prosecuted.
Finances Not Extensive
im , i derived from membership]
(dues, said the report, are not sufti-!
j.-lent to withstand the drains on .he]
Ifreisui.v. The Territorial Aluse ,m i
|; -i I Library Fund, from which ihel
■Cuiulor's salary was paid, ha? been
exhausted and its sources are so lim-'
jliud that it cannot be relied an for]
material aid in the future. 1 tie f.-1
| l.encial report showed a balance of]
Jftni2.14 in the treasury, which, * is|
•‘■uin, is sufficient to run the institu-j
t:cn until some provision is made!
by the Territory for its upkeep.
"The Museum has attracted almost
the complete Quota of passengers
arriving at Juneau from the States
during the three summer months,”;
continued the report. Night arrival
of many steamers, it was contended,
prevents I many desiring to do so
from visiting it. A total of 2,697 j
persons registered a* the Museum;
during the season, which, however, i
doc? nc r“present the total number!
of visitors as m iny did not register.
Needs of Institution
Tin? moat important need of the!
Library and Museum, said the report,!
"is a -ife place for housing and
protection of the priceless volumes
in the Library and no less priceless
specimens in the Museum. I wish
to impress upon the honorable mem
bers of this Association and the gen
eral public of the Territory of Al
aska, that this incomparable Library
and Museum is greatly Jeopardized
as it is now housed. The danger
from loss by fire Is great. This los3
would be so great a magnitude, not
only of the intrinsic value of the
books and specimens, but from the
fact that wero these priceless ar
ticles lost, the Territory would never
be able to replace them." Space for
both Library and Museum, it con
•innes, is very inadequate. I>ack of
funds not only impairs upkeep and
maintenance, but prevents the acqui-j
sition of new books and specimens.
Additions of ethnological speci
mens from Southeastern Alaska are1
urged ns being of prime Importance i
to complete the representation.
