No tiace of the body of Vic Guim

week on lower Kenai, has been found
although parties for days have been
conducting a ihoiough search ircm

estry dt'paitment. returned fioni low
or Ktnai lust nijjht un<l saul Cmit

body of Guimbuid but without success.
Vic Guimbard, being a French Can
adian. was el an excitable nature, v.a*
afraid of water, noi being able to
swim.
it is believed that Guimbard lost
his lit** in the river or lake b\ e.tnoi
attempting to reach shore liotn bis
launch or from falling o!t his i; .
into deep water.
Guimba»d, one day last week, was
to go down the river and transport a
party of men and women from Lower
Kenai to Mile 23. The party heard
Guimbard start his launch and began
to get ready to board the craft when
he reached them. After a lew pulf
puffs the noise of his gasoline engine
ceased and the next known of the mis
0. S. Butler, traveling auditor for
the Admiral Line left on the North

Lieut. D. H. Hartman and wife,

sing man is when his launch was
found below the first rapids. The
launch was headed down stream with
the bow line in the water. Guimbard s
launch had no clutch and he generally
pushed the launch into the river and
then started his engine. Guimbard evi
dently pushed his launch off from his
tending and then started his engine.
The i ngim* stopped, as ihe party wait
ing to be transported claim. Guimbard
perhaps seized his bow line and at
tempted to jump ashore intending to
haul the launch to land.
Guimbard might have been drown
ed in this attempt. Or, Guimbard '
m.giifc have slipped off the launch into
the water and drowned. The Kow line
being in the water indicates however
that Guimbard might have attempted i
to jump as ho i e and haul the boat up
on the beach until the engine could he |
'
fixed.
it was believed that the body would |
be found in tie* big eddy between the j
first and second rapids, but perhaps j
it slipped through and may be found
lower down on the Russian river or
even in Cook Inlet.

— Cleveland, Ohio Oct., 9—
' IJpfore the largest crowd that was t v
or packed into the Cleveland ball p:i k
the Cleveland Indians administered to
the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers the sev
erest walloping that they have yet re
ceived in one-of the World’s senes
games. Covelcskio with O’Neil receiv
ing his varied assortment of shoots
and spit ball slants allowed the Brook
lyn sluggers only live scattered hits,
while on the other hand the Indian
braves pounded the offerings of Mar
tiuard and three other Dodger pitch- j
<«rs to all corners of the lot. Twelve
safe bingles were gathered during the
nine innings by the Cleveland players
who were oat for revenge. Two errors
were made by Cleveland and one by
Brooklyn. The standing of the two
Cubs is even today, both of them hav
ing annexed two games. The betting
on Cleveland is still strong and from
present indications the Indians will
tack the World’s Pennant flag along
side ( f the League pennant. Most of
the Cleveland players were at one time
connected with the Pacific coast lea
gue. Score Brooklyn One. Cleve
land Three.

TO GET COAL

The Bering river coal fields may
iiive the entire transportation situ
ation in Alaska, according to advices
reaching Seattle. Both the Alaska
Steamship company boats and Copper
iCivcr & NoBrthwestem railroad may
be burning coal from these fields
before midsummer next. Already the
Cordova market is promised 50 tons
of coal every 24 hours, and this may
■ be increased sufficiently to take care
of the railroad and steamship wants,

officials announced some weeks ago
chat revenues providing for oyer a
million dollars in additional costs of
fuel oil for 1921 would have to , l#be
provided for.
Falcon Joslin returned from the
Katalla coal fields during the week.
He reported his company was now
constructing four miles of planked
road to get coal to Bering lake
from which point it can be barged
at high tide to Cordova. This cpal,
will take care of domestic consumpt

extend a branch road 28 Utiles to load
coai from the mine bunkers. This
would allow the railroad to place
loading bunkers at Cordova, which
port would become the fueling point
for ail western Alaska steamers.
Falcon Joslin says it is slow work
combating department red tape in
developing coal leases in Alaska but
his associates have not let obstacles
stand in the way of eventually mak
ing Bering river coal fields produc
tive.
Regarding the oil situation at Ka
talla, Mr. Joslin is optimistic. He
says the greatest obstacle „ to toe
opening of oil pools.. is the present
