LAUNCH COLUMBIA
MAKES GOOD IP
Come* From Ketchikan Without Trou
ble—Caught in 8torm at Sea—
Owned by Cannery Company.
The now launch Columbia belong
ing to the Prince William Sound
Fishing company, reached Knikilik
last Saturday from Ketchikan. Captain
George Stoxnex brought the little
boat from Southeastern Alaska to
Prince William Sound without any
trouble. He was 14 days on the trip
and was forced to anchor in Icy
Straits for four days, as the storm at
sea was too much for his small boat.
While coming from Icy Straits to
Hinchinbrook the launch was in a
severe storm, but being a perfectly
sea worthy craft rode out the gale.
The Admiral Evans on this trip will
stop at Knikilik and discharge 500
empty barrels and 25 tons of salt, and
will load a shipment of 250 barrels of
herring, which are now ready for
shipment. The company will make
regular shipments all summer, and
when the herring start to spawn king
salmon will be mild cured and ship
ped. A big lighter owned by the com
pany will be towed to the Copper
river flats and anchored and i he fish
caught and cured.

PORTLAND CROOK
CUTS OWN THROAT
Albert Howard Implicated by Estes in
the Fleischer-Mayer Steal,
Commits Suicide.
PORTLAND, Ore., March 9.—Albert
Howard, the head salesman of the
Fleischer-Mayer wholesale dry goods
house, committed suicide today at the
police station by cutting his throat j
with a penknife. Howard had been
implicated by Harry Estes, the |
freight clerk, in the theft of $50,000
worth of linens from the concern.
The police say that Howard never
profited by the stealings and they are
endeavoring to fathom the hold that
Estes had over him.
Several second-hand dealers who
were arrested Saturday for receiving
stolen goods are still held by the po
lice. They have all confessed and are
assisting the police to recover part of
the loot.
Will leave Valdez about March 20tk
for Nelchina and Slate creek. Robert
McIntosh. tt
