I KED TRACY DOES AN
ANCIENT MARINER STI NT
Got Hack to Anchorage This Morning
by Taking the Seward
Train.
I'rod Tracy and his five eampanions
were landed at Seward jesterdaj
morning after having been taken
aboard by the steamship Alameda at
Seldovia where they had put in with I
the launch in which they had tried to
reach Anchorage. When they left
the Farragut to go back to Anchorage
they found it inadvisable to buck the
ice so they turned around and steered
for Seldovia. As they were going
with the ice they found no difficulty
in reaching the place but were out in
the boat all night. When the Alameda
came outside Seward Fred insisted on
the ship bringing them right to the
dock as he had got all of the launch
stuff he wanted. The whole thing
ended as hundreds of other such at
tempts end in Alaskan waters.
Some horrible stories of F red’s
plight must have gone outside as Mr.
Baxter of the Alaska Steamship
Company wired Alex Mcl* maid to
spare no expense* or ’ **oubie to rescue
the gallant mariners.

❖ JUDGE TURNS DOWN *
❖ VALDEZ CITY COUNCIL *
❖ - *
VALDEZ, Nov. 29.—’The District
Court has decided that town councils
have no control over private wharves
and thus it reversed the decision of
the local municipal court in the case
of Valdez vs. the Valdez Dock Com
pany. The District court has also
ruled against the city council in as
sessing the property of the Valdez
Dock Company and declares that the
property is outside the town limits.
The court has also set aside the dis
criminatory assessment against the
holders of industrial stocks.
