OLD CORWIN TO
QUIT ALASKA RUN
(Juneau Empire.;
Forecasting her disappearance from
the Seattle Nome route to which she
has won world wide fame as the first
vessel to arrive at the Seward penin
sula gold mining camp at the begin -!
ing of 12 seasons, the steamship Cor
win today was acquired by the South
western Steamship Company, Limited,
of Los Angeles, from the Corwin
Company of Seattle, under a long time
charter for operation in the California
and Mexico trade. The Las Angeles
company also took an option on the
purchase of the noted vessel. It will
decide next April whether to close the
deal or not.
No other vessel holds such a place
in the affections of the miners at Nome
and adjacent camps. To them the
name of the Corwin signifies the re
sumption of the traffic with the out
side world. Ever since she entered the
Bering sea trade the Corwin has been
regarded by Nome and other camps
as the harbinger of summer, frequent
mall service und fresh fruits and veg
etables. For years she has been to
Nome us the first robin of the spring
Her name is engraved In Alaska's
history.
If the Los Angeles company exer
cises its option in May, the famous
steamship will probably never return
to Seattle The Southwestern Steam
ship Company, which is backed by the
wholesale dealers of Southern Califor
nia, Intends to use her as the pioneer
ship to develop new trcde relations
between Los Angeles and the west
coast of Mexico, operating to and
from Mazatlan and Quaymas.
The Corwin today has prepared for
the run down to San Pedro, the harbor
of Los Angeles, where she will be
delivered to her new operators. She
will leave Seattle after being dry
docked for cleaning and a thorough
overhauling and painting. Capt. R.
J. Healey, her old commander on many
voyages early In the season to Nome,
will take the vessel south.
Built for Cutt*r Service
Built for the United States revenue
cutter service the Corwin has a white
pine hull that Is almost Indestructible
The government sold her In tho early
Nome days and she has operated In
tho Bering sea trade ever since All
her rivlets are of coppor and her fast
enings- are of German sliver. The
Corwin has had more rough battles
with the Ice and has struck more rocks
than any other ship In the North
Pacific, according to shipping men. but
because of her great strength and her
solid construction she always escaped
serious damage.
After landing passengers, mall and
freight at Nome last summer when
she was the first vessel as usual to*
reach the big gold camp, the Corwin j
carried a walrus hunting oxpodltion
Into the Arctic. Shipping circles re
gard her as an Ideal carrier for the
new Mexican trade.

AN ANNOUNCEMENT
OF SPECIAL INTEREST
The announcement of an extra special
better than ever flbered rubber sole
and heel by the B. F. Goodrich Com
pany has brought shoe manufacturers
to their feet with a jump. For a long
time It has been known that the
experts of the world’s largest rubber
factory, who has developed the fa
mous Goodrich safety tread tires, the
Goodrich Sllvertown cord and "Hl
press” boots to such a high point of
perfection, have turned their energies
toward the development of something
new In the sole and heel line.
It Is entirely new, different from top
to bottom—a new design and com
position which has never been used
byor» They 'are light jas leather
and give more than double the ser
vice. Goodrich new flbered rubber
soles are slip, stub and water proof
They cling tight with every step—no
more slipping.
Some time ago a test was made with
the tread rubber which Goodrich ex
' pert9 have developed for the Goodrich
safety tread tire. A straight abrasion
test bettveen a piece of this stock and
a piece of carbonized steel of equal
thickness resulted In a victory for the
tread rubber. It Is actually tougher
than steel. Knowing that this Is true
shoe manufacturers believe that all
evils which may have attended the
use of rubber soles or heel* heretofore
will be eliminated and the assertion
I
by Goodrich expert# that this 1# true;
confirms# their opinion
The Ooodrlch Company Intimates'
that It wll push It# line of sole# and [
I heels for winter use as well os summer
wear. The fact that rubber Is Im
pervious to water and dampness Is
a strong talking point In Its favor and
It may well be that before many years
have passed Goodrich flbered rubber.
soles will be as popular for winter I
wear as they are now for use during!
the summer months.
The B. F. Ooodrlch Company an
nounced that the ealo of Its new sole
nnd heel will be confined exclusively
o shoe manufacturers.
MEETS A BLONDE
$100,000 GONE
r ' ' • -
A weird tale of robbery, amounting
to more than $100,000, last night was
reported to the detective bureau by
Thomas E. Marshall, a miner, who has
just "come out" of Nome, Alaska.
He arrived In Chicago on Friday
night, and went to the Majestic hotel |
On his way here, he says, he met a]
man who gave him a drink of whisky
from a bottle. He thinks he was
drugged.
After registering at the Majestic the
stranger lured him to a cabaret show
at 21 Quincy street, across from the
hotel. Here, he says, he met a "big
yellow haired" woman, who called him
"hun bun.”
Orders e Bottle.
He orderd a bottle of champagne
The woman and the man he met on
the train Joined him In drinking.
Hie recollection of what happened
after leaving the cabaret Is not clear
Ha remembers getting Into an auto
mobile. and when he woke up at 5
o’clock Saturday morning he was In
the hallway of the Garfield Park
sanitarium The clerk heard him
shouting “Thieves! Robbers!" On
looking out the clerk saw a big
limousine driving away
After being put to bed the hospital
notified the West Lake street police
of the man's presence there. Search
of his clothing disclosed $28.
On being discharged from the hos
pital yesterday, Marshall, whose mind
was still somewhat muddled, began
eearch for the hotel where he had left
his suitcase. He could not remember
the name of the hotel.
He wandered Into Orand’s saloon in
West Madison street, next to the hotel
Brevoort, and there met E. V. Eddy
a chauffeur. They had a drink to
gether.
Marshall told Eddy of his strange
experience, as he remembered the
tSfoMent. and asked his aid to loeate
the suitcase. Eddy decided that the
Majestic was the hotel. It was.
The Miner's 8tory.
This Is tho story he told the detec- j
tlves.
"My partner and I came out of
Alaska a few days ago and we sold j
our mine for $260,000. I got half. The
deal was made In Seattle. I went to!
a bank and got drafts for nearly all1
the mlney.
"One draft, as 1 now remember, was
for $21,800.
“I Just can't remember what I did
with the remainder of the $186,000"
