V MISSING MAN AFTER
TWENTY TWO YEARS
Alter more than twenty years oi
unfruitful inquiry by his relatives in
Nova Scotia the fate of Hector
McLean has at least been learned.
Mcl^ean. then a young man, left his
home in Nova Scotia in lSi*7, mi*
mediately on receipt of the news o1
the discovery of goiu m the Klon
dike. He wrote a letter to his |
people in the east from Juneau
eaily in August of that yeai and
that was the last they ever heard
of him.
For the past twenty years the
Royal Northwest Mounted, now the
Royal Canadian Police, through then
Y’ukon headquarters at Dawson,
haw been striving to learn some
thing of Hector McLean, but with
out result until the present time.

paper business in the Yukon und now
Chief of tiie Alaska Bureau of Pub
licity in Juneau, received a letter
from the commandant of the Koyul
C. M. P. at Dawson telling him
that, while further inquiry for Mc
Lean was probably useless, yet the
i missing man's relatives in the east
were persistent in their efforts to
locate him or to secure accurate m
drmation as to his death. Wholly
by accident, Mr. White learned that
E. K. Grigwire . for many years a
resident of Skagway and Whitehorse
but now of Wrangell, had been a
member of a party that met with
disaster while onroute from Juneau
to Skagway in the fall of '1)7. Tak
ng a chance that Grigwire might
mow something of Mcliean, Mr.
White wrote him in behalf of the
Canadian police a few days ago. An
inswer to the letter was receive*!
cesteitiay, and said:
‘‘Hector McLean was drowned in
Lynn Canal August 23, 181*7. Eight
men, of whom the writer was one,
left Juneau for Skagway in a Col
umbia river fishing boat. On the
23rd. of August and when we were
:ot far from the upper end of Doitg
as Island we were overtaken by a
storm. Our boat was swamped and

McLean, were drowned. The rest

DRUNKEN HOGS
CITED AS EVIDENCE
OF MOONSHINING
PORTLAND, Ore., April 17— Mrs.
Nettie Connett’s hogs ziz-zaggcd
aimlessly and squealed super-excit
edly as they left their food trough
in Mrs. Connett’s corral at Bull
Run, Oregon, according to the tes
timony given at Mrs. Connett's
trial on a moonshing charge, by
A. W. Brewer, in the Federal Court
today. Brewer said he had been
“the hired man” on Mrs. Connett's
place for some time and that one of
his duties wu» to feed the hogs.
Mash which Mrs. Connott set out
regularly for the purpose was what
he fed them, he said. And the
porcine siz-zagging and squealing
always ensued.

—
(GALVESTON, Texas, April 17—
Angling lo. invitations to dine abo.'ti•!
foreign-owncd and manned vessels en
tering port here is once more the pop
ular pastime of certain Galvestonians,
i
following a decision received by Co
lector of the Port Fred C. Pabst from
the effect that enough “wet” golds
he left unsealed for use of officers
and crews of foreign ships while ;n
side the three- mile limit. The ruling
it is taken, also supplies the guest
aboard ships in the harbor.
Ships under foreign charter nearh
all carry the red wine of Spain nn.l
Italy for rationing out to officers am!
men. Under a previous ruling of the
treasury department this stock of
ship's wine was placed under lock and
key while the vessel remained insit!'
the three-mile limit. Representations
by foreign governments, however,
caused a reversal of the decision. It
was pointed out that shipping agents
would b<* unable to get crews for ves
sels coming to the United States ii
such a course were persisted in. The
wine, it was said, was considered
part of the food allowance.
Helen Arddle has arrived and she
is making her headquarters at the
