Wrack Survivor* Shut m By on Kstalla Island. Storm Cordova, Alaska Eighty-three per sons, comprising the passenger* and crew of the wreck«) «tcamship Port land. which was beached in the mouth of the Katalla river, arc *tranded on Katalla island. The storm which broke soon after the passenger* were landed from the wrecked vessel. I* raging with increaa«-d fury and all effort* tn go to the aid of the nunenel passen gers have proved unsuccessful. There are few ;>eople living on the islam! and the food supply is small. It is feared that if the passenger* and crew of the Portland are not taken off wain they will be forced to undergo great ha nia tups, owing to the failure of the food supply. The steamship Alameda tried for 12 hours to enter the storm» wept harbor, but waa finally compelled to give up the attempt and turn bai k. The tele phone line, the sole m- xns of commu nication with the island, is down, and the stranded passengers are entirely cut off from the outside world. PANAMA CANAL IN 1013, T«ft I« Told Work Will Be Ahead of Time. Finished Panama—The Panama canal will be -ompleted December 1, 1913. Thia in formation waa given to President Taft while he was in*|iecting the famous Gatun dam. The official date of the opening remains January I. 1915, Lieu tenant Colonel Goethals dreiring one year in which to train the canal tend er* and to get the machinery working •moothly. Ship*, meantime, will have the priv ilege of the canal, rtut at their own risk or delay. In addition it was announced by Col onel Goethals that the rejxirt that President Taft’s visit waa the forerun ner of a request for another $100,000,- 000 from congress, wa* unfounded. The canal will be completed in 1913, he said, within th«» $375.000,000 al ready authorized. The president was pleased at the outlook for early completion and con gratulated Colonel Goethals. He ex- pres»«*d amazement at the work accom plished since his visit in February, 1909. He displayed a knowledge of the technical detail* that surpristid the officials, his familiarity dating back to the time he wa* secretary of war, when he advocated a lock canal aa against a a«-a-level system. He was greatly surprised at the immensity of the dam, some idea of which can te gained from the fact that the train was urder way nearly three hours on the spur tracks overtunning the great fills. ’Perfect’ Man Collapses.
