WICKED SHIP'S MAIL
TO CO IT DID AUCTION i
SALE, SEATTLE, APRIL, I!
Auction sales probably will get un
Icr way about April 1 at the Seattle
postoM'iee on tlie mail salvaged from
' the steamship Northwestern after its
wieck on December 11 on the way to j
Alaska. J
This will be the last chance for
r.mthwest citizens whose Christmas
gilts, mailed to friends and relatives
in ti e northland, were lost in the!
steamship's flooded hold. If they!
can h'cn’ify their articles'at the sale,
they c: n have them, according to C.
M. PerkiHs, postmaster.
Durdreds oi packages which had
bit of address still legible, either i
the sender or receiver, have been |
forwarded or sent hack but the re- J
mrinder, after ’expensive weeks of
drying out the salt water, sorting,
listing a|id packing, still fills one !
big room of the postoffice.
It makes 123 huge cartons, each
'aeked solidly with goods. A survey
1v the Seattle Star showed the ex
-nt of the salvage problem.
The Northwestern’s mail cargo
stalled 1800 sacks, a week’s accumu
ition in Seattle of mail for A1 as tea,
he largest mail ever sent Noith
<Tost of the sacks were received in
•pile of the wreck and storm, the
flooding of the ship and the rocking
>f the boats that hoisted out (he
/reek’s cargo. It cost Uncle Sam,
owever, £2000 in rent and labor t.
dry and sort the salvage; cost $250 in
labor time to sort, pack and list it;
and it will take 10 men three days to
sell it, under the law.
• The salt water literally wiped out
?very bit of ink on the wrappers; only i
lie pencil addresses were left. It dis-!
integrated most of the wrappers. It |j
jte apart the blade of a non-rusting j
;teel si«ak knife; rusted every pack-!
w
ige that contained a bit of iron; dis-j
ntegrated those that contained such I
groceries as soda.
And yet the big cartons are piled j
’ull with thousands of carefully work
id towels, cases, handkerchiefs, blan
tets and clothing of every description,
up to dresses, suits and even heavy j
ioats. Much of it had been ordered!
by Alaskans from northwest stores,
I
but the bulk was gifts from the gener- j
ous northwest to its friends in the j
north.
Indications w-ere that it would take
a day to go thru the lists in search
of an item that might give a clue to
any one of the missing packages, and
a week or more to sort thru the car
tons, after which they would have to
be repacked. Postmaster Perkins
called it the largest lot ot wrecked
mail matter in the northwest’s history
Forty head of reindeer were in
troduced on the Pribilof Islands in
1911 by the government. While the
islands afford a splendid habitat for
reindeer, their relatively small size
precludes the support of large herds.
Two abatement cases at Cordova
were dropped the past week at the
term of court now In session. These
were against the Pastime Pool Hall,
and the other, Mae Jones.
