D————— ' _THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, DEC. 1, 1936. RELIEF FUND LIST CLOSED: ~ SUMRAISED Sufficient Donated to Meet Emergency, Commit- tee Announces The committee appointed to col- lect funds for the slide relief an- nounces that they have closed the subscription lists. It has been esti- mated that, when all amounts sub- scribed have been received, there will be sufficient to meet the emer- gency, H. L. Faulkner, Chairman of the committee, said today The response to the appeal for funds was so general and so gen- erous that the committee announc- ed that its labors were greatly less- ened In addition to the very substan- ' tial and, in fact, almost unpre- cedented local subscriptions, several thousand dollars have been received from salmon canning companies, oil companies, transportation com- panies, wholesale mercantile houses, and other companies in Seattle, Portland and San Francisco which are doing business in Alaska, ac- cording to the committee. “It is impossible to do more to- day than to express the sincere thanks of the committee in behalf of the City, generally, to all sub- scribers,” the committee spokesman said. A It is estimated that there are at least 1,000 subscribers. The lists are being tabulated, and all original lists, together with a copy, will be on file in the City Hall, and copies will be given out for pub- lication when completed. Members of the Relief Commit- tee are H. L. Faulkner, R. E. Rob- ertson, Allen Shattuck and John W. Jones. CREWS AGAIN AT WORK ON SLIDE; DANGERLESSENS Cessation of Rain Raises Hope that No Further Avalances Will Result With the cessation of rain, after November had set an unprecedent- ed mark of 25.87 inches, work was resumed this morning on clearing away the debris at the scene of the recent slide on Lower Franklin Street.” Mayor I. Goldstein esti- mated it would take the remainder of the week to complete the work. A crew of about 20 were on the Jjob this morning. While the danger of slides was not entirely passed, it was believed, authorities said, that if no further rain was experienced before a freeze-up it was probable no major slide would result, although several small earth movements occurred on the mountain side during the night, and officials and emergency or- ganizations were standing ready to answer a sudden summons from the area. - .

Both he and Miss Freeburn were lost for 20 hours in dark stormy weather aboard her speed boat. Mrs. Freeburn had left Chichagof n her speed boat at 9 o'clock Mon- day morning for Hirst-Chichagof to bring back two sacks of cement for some work at the mine. She was due back at Chichagof at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. When she did not return on schedule, a telephone to Hirst disclosed that she had left there. During the afternoon and evening eight boats searched for her without filiding any trace. Stormy weather added to the family’s an- xiety. It was about 10 o'clock the next morning before she was picked ug by Paul Sorenson, superintendent ot the Hirst-Chichagof, aboard the Council D. Then, after a night in the open in a storm sea, Mrs. Freeburn asked interest as a cat-whisker srystal charge of the store’s meat depart- radio set in the old days. .A price ment, has succeeded H. R.

Without power, her boat drift- ed far off its course, until she was able to anchor and await rescue. Twice during the stormy nighg, res- cue boats were within 250 feet of her, Mrs. Freeburn said. She fired her rifle, but was not heard. She was worried, because she had no oars aboard the boat, was afraid the anchor line might break and the waves drive her against the rocks off which she was anchored. However, she had taken up the floor boards of the speedboat, to use for oars, should the emergency arise. “Next: time, we'll send rockets nd emergency provisions along with mother, then we won't worry about her. She's so resourceful that she can always take care of herself, this time,” said Miss “She promised to stay home with her knitting while we are in town. But she won't do it,” I'm afraid. Both Mrs. Freeburn and her daughter have had good hunting at Chichagof this winter, and each shot their quota of deer. Miss Freeburn, who finished her junior year at the University of Washington in June, will return next year to graduate. She is en- Joying her winter in Chichagof and this is the first time she has been to town since last June. Mrs. Rust, widow of Arthur Rust, former President of the Chichagof mine, expects to come to Alaska aboard the yacht Electra next sum- mer, the Freeburns said. It will be the third trip of. the Electra to Al- aska, Juncau forthe next wesks (¢ I guess.

The velocity at 11 o'clock on that night reached 60 miles an hour. The major damage resulting was the complete demol- ishing of a lumber shed belonging ‘o H. G.
