AKSEL HAKESTAD, BO’SN OF
C. A. THAYER, FACES
COMPETITION
Aksel Hakestad, bo’sn of the
three-master C. A. Thayer, had a
puzzled expression on his wea
ther-beaten face as he watched
his crew mates come over the
side and head for the fo’castle.
The Thayer, at Seattle, was ready
for sea. The tug was alongside.
Soon they would be heading for
northern waters for another long
battle with the elements.
But Hakestad was not thinking
of gales or mountainous waves
which might swallow up the
Thayer’s dories and dorwn her
fishermen, says the Seattle Times.
He was studying the 17 men of 1
brawn, veterans of the codfish
banks, and wrondering if he would
retain his crown as highliner of
the C. A. Thayer. The words of
J. E. Shields, president of the Pa
cific Coast Codfish Company, own
er of the schooner, raced through
his brain. Shields had said:
“They’re the finest fishermen
from Greenland to the Bering
Sea. All are old-timers on the
banks.”
Caught 25,000 Fish
Hakestad had a snug winter
ashore, for last season he caught
nearly 25,000 codfish during the
cruise of the Thayer. It meant
a fat purse, but more than that,
he was proclaimed the champion
fisherman of the stout^fttle three
master, the highliner the C.
A. Thayer, the finest schooner of
the Bering Sea codfish fleet.
Could there be a greater honor,

♦ The KOHLER Automatic
produces 110-volt current
The Kohler Automatic Power and Light Plant produces
standard 110-volt electricity, and therefore allow* you to
use the same standard electric light bulbs and appliances
used in cities. These appliances are available everywhere
and cost less than those of lower voltage.
Coupled with this advantage of the Kohler Automatic is
the feature of “no storage batteries.” This does away with
the trouble and expense of maintaining a large bank of
glass-cell storage batteries. The only battery used with
the Kohler Automatic is a small, automobile-type, for
starting the engine.
Thus the Kohler Automatic gives you all the advantages
of city electricity with the same convenience—simply
turn any button on the circuit and you have electricity
for power or light. Send for illustrated booklet. Come in
and see the plant in operation.

am
he thought, but the owners of
the Thayer immediately recognized
his prowess. They promoted him
to bo’sn, a position of authority
over the hardy crew of sailors who
man the Thayer. However, Hake
stad must defend his crown and
when the schooner reaches Bering
Sea he will put out in a dory day
after day in an effort to beat or
at least equal his record of 25,
000 codfish.
Among the 17 fishermen who
will make an effort to win the
title of highliner of the Thayer
are Ben Shanahan, 50 years a
fisherman, and John Markie, who,
as Shields expressed it, “has spent
49 years in a dory.” Neither of'
these men has missed a season j
since they started cruising to the;
banks.
Hook and Line Used
However, the tally-board will
tell. Every fish is counted as it |
is taken aboard the schooner j
from the dories but payment to!
the fishermen is not made until
the catch is landed in port. High
liners of the fleet have made
more than $1,500 during the sea
son, some of them averaging be
tween 400 and 500 fish a day.
Codfish are caught with hook and
line with one man n each dory. |
A line with two baited hooks is I
thrown over each side of the
dory.
Capt. John Grottle, veteran fish
ing vessel master, commands the
C. A. Thayer. Thomas Felstad
is mate. The schooner carries 36
men all told and has a capacity
for 600 tons of fish. She was
towed 15 miles off-Cape Flattery
last Thursday by the tug Sonoma,
spread her sails and headed for
the fishing banks.
If all goes well the Thayer will
be back in port early in Septem
ber. She has 18 power dories, is
equipped with electric lights and
ranks as the most modem vessel
ever sent to the banks. One .other
codfishing schooner, the Wawona,
of the Robinson Fisheries, is on
her way to the Bering Sea fish
ing grounds.#
HUNDREDS KILLED
III HI DUE
ERVIN Armenia, May 1. (/P)—1
Nearly 400 persons were killed and
2.000 injured in an earthquake in
Armenia Monday. Preliminary es- !
timates said the property damage
would probably reach $1,000,000;
20.000 peasants are homeless n
the Fafance district and are liv
ing in the open; there is a heavy
rianfall adding to the misery, and
food is scarce.
In the Gerusin district nine vil
lages were wiped out. Wire com
munications are down.
ANOTHER GOOD MINER
H. O. Jacobs, a member of the
well known family of miners, ar
rived on tl>e. SS Yukon, from Cal
ifornia, and will spend the sum
mer out on the Moose Pass prop
erty. Brother Charles came into
town to greet him and both will
remain at the local home for a
week before going to the Pass.
