more than a scare on the part of the
preacher and his wife, as the analysis
of the baking powder, milk and salt,
said to have been poisoned, showed no
poison whatsoever, according to the

The officials are puzzled over the

subscriptions to the stock of the Fort

today by Arthur II. Devers of thi
Chamber of Commerce Alaska trade

Klelschner,-Mayer & Co $1000

.Mr. Alnsworth's subscription was
counted when it was promised a few
days ago. The other 13000 added to
' the last Sunday report of $28,100
'makes a, total of $31,100. The com
mittee on Alaska trade Is working: ag
gressively, both in increasing: the num
ber of subscriptions and in perfecting
the organization of the company.
The fundamental element of the. plan
for organization Is that it shall be a
Community enterprise with many sub

We went aboard the AlkL She lias
accommodations for 140 passengers
and takes from 1000 to 1200 tons of
freight and has all the business she
can handle. After we had gone from
bridge to engine room, Mr. Strong
laughingly said, "It seems odd to
think that Ketchikan, a town of 2200
people, can finance a steamship line
and make good money at it, when
Portland, a city of 250,000 or moro
people, are doubtful of their ability
to finance a steamship line. Not only
that, we bought our boats outright
and you are only leasing yours. It
might be well for some of your Port
land capitalists to tome up to Ketch
ikan and learn how to . operate a
steamship line. It might be they could
secure the necessary financial back
ing here if you can't get it in Port
land." . Man Stack to Xt.
During the afternoon Mr. Strong in
troduced me to his partner, J. C. Bar
ber, another young man whose only
capital was his brains his energy and
Mj staying ability when he came te
Ketchikan 10 years ago. Accompanied
by Mr. Barber and Mr. Strong, I went
through their new five story concrete
storage warehouse.
"The building itself cost $30,000,"
said Mr. Barber. "The insulation, the
cork floors and the machinery co.et
$35,000. This is one of the three first
buildings in Alaska."
We went up on the elevator to the
fifth floor, where lg tons of Ice is

by an automatic cradle to the storage
room on the fourth floor. As needed
