The forest cruiser T.thn k;
for Behm Canal yesterday to
search for Win. C. Bruhn and
his companion believed to he
lost in the woods near Snail
Point. Word of their disap
pearanee was brought to town
bv Capt. A. W. Thomas who re
ported the matter to the Marsh
al's office. According to his
•dory, he noticed a small launch
at anchor near Snail point an i
failing to see any life on board
her on on shore nearby he
boarded the craft and found a
half finished letter addressed
to Bruhn's mother at Spirit
Lake, Iowa, and dated Jan. 17.
in which the writer stated
iie intended to go to Bell Island
the next day for supplies. Since
that time nothing has been
<een of Bruhn nor a companion
he i- --aid to have had with
him. and it i< feared that both
men ha I gone into the wood'
after venison on the 17 th
and met death there in som *
form- This theory is strength
ened by the fact that two skiff?
are on the shore near the
launch . both of them badly
smashed by the storms since
that time. Mail has been ac
cumulating in the local post
office for the past month for
Bruhn. The snow in the woods
is so dee that a
search of more than the shore
hue is useless at this time, so
the probabilities are that noth
ing will be found until the
spring thaw comes.

WINDING UP IDE DEBATE ON THE
RAILROAD DILL
Washington, Fob. (>—Reprc
sentative Mann finished the sei
debate on the Alaska Railroad
bill last night with a maslerh
adress. declaring that the op
ponents of the measure was
the same old crowd that had op
posed the Panama canal, and
the legislation for pure food
in this country. When those
two matters were np for leg
islation they raised the old cry
of ‘•soeialistic.».tendeney,” and
today they are saying the
same thing when it comes to
the question of whether the
United Slates shall or shall not
go to the relief of the pioneers
of the north ami construct a
railroad lo open up the country.
Prior to Mann's speech Bor
land had spoken in favor of Iho
hill, making a hitler attack on
the Morgan and Guggenheim
syndicates, w hom he said pre • j
forced lo kill the measure than
lo see il favor oilier interests
Ilian their'. Under Ihe five
minute rule which will a vail
hereafter. Congressmen Rainey
and Graham both spoke in
favor of the bill. j
