HEAVY LOSS INCURRED
WHEN BOAT CAPS1ZEE
(Fairbanks News-Miner.)
Mrs. Mayme Wroten, of Flat, whe
has been undergoing treatment in St
Joseph’s Hospital, suffered a ver;
heavy financis-l loss in.a boat acciden
on the Kuskokwim river, while et
route to Fairbanks. Mrs. Wroten wa:
traveling as a passenger on the Ben
nett-Rodebaugh Waco plane, pilotei
* by A. A. Bennett, when, on account o
darkness, it became necessary to maki
i a landing across the river from thi
Telida roadhouse. A canoe, belonging
to one of the natives, was requisi
tinned to take Mrs. Wroten, Pilot Ben
i- ne.tt, John Lund and .George King, th<
other .passengers, across the river
The ice was running very heavily, an<
- when .about lop' yards from the short
the boat-collided with an ice. cake am
t capsized.. The occupants, of. the boa
r managed to get on. the cake of ice, an<
though the strenuous efforts of Mr
Bennett and Mr.„ King, were finall;
brought, to shore.helow the point fron
< which they had started. All the bag
gage in the boat <was lost, includinj
Mrs. Wroten's suite-age, containing
j jewelry, money and a fur coat, of ;
"c total value of over-S4,()00. Every ef
fort was made to recover the baggage
- but without avail. .After remainini
in the cold and darkness for nearly at
hour the sufferers were.taken acros.
t the nver by Indians from the opposit
; shore, arriving, at the- roadhouse in at
almost exhausted condition. In th
c absence of other clothing it was neces
. sary to use caribou and moose hide
until the clothing of the party couh
be dried out. A later, search by th
Indians resulted in the finding of thi
, boat, with Mr. King’s rifle and ax, bu
. party were lost. The recent comple
: all the other personal effects, of tin
■ tion of the new landing field at Telidi
' will make such accidents impossible
in the future.

Just Before the Senatorial Rattle in
Seattle.
SEATTLE, Oct.‘31.—Indications .are
that the Senatorial race Tuesday in
this normally Strong Republican state
will be close between Jones and Bul
litt. For the first time in his long po
litical career Senator Jones is having
’ ! to exert himself. He appeared last
night and made several speeches in
’; Seattle and King county, which con
tain nearly one-fourth of the voters of
the State, asking for their support on
I the ground that the result in the
State of Washington would probably
decide the complexion of the next
United States Senate.
’ The betting indicates a Bullitt vic
tory. Jones began the campaign with
2 to 1 in his favor. The odds are now
even, with more Bullitt than Jones
money in sight.
