The ultimatum was delivered by Harry Lundeberg, secretary and treasurer of the Sailors Union of the Pacific which is in a bitter dispute | with the Maritime Commission over the hiring policy of the Government owned merchantmen. The ultimatum followed an an- |nouncement from Washington that | the Commission would withdraw the \shxp.s from the proposed Seattle- Orient service unless crews were sel- | ected under the Commission rules, \by noon Friday, which is the date | for the first sailing from Seattle. The Commission demands that the ;cxew; of the ships be hired from lists | of men registered with the United States Shipping Commission at Se- attle. The Sailors Union of the Pacific is adamant in demanding that the crews be hired through its union hiring halLs s HEILSCHER 1S NOW VISITING INTERIOR J. F. Hielscher, who brought the first load of hogs over the Chilkoot Pass into Dawson in '08, followed the stampede to Fairbanks in 1904, and later went to the Iditarod .in that rush, now returns to his eld stamping grounds after an absence of 26 years, says the Fairbanks News-Miner. Driving livestock into the various camps seemed to be very much in Mr. Hielscher's forte, as he was well known for his cattle driving expe- ditions over the Circle trail to Fair- | banks. A man couldn't come into the country in thos days without doing some mining. In the Fairbanks dis- trict the oldtimer was well known as the operator of number four on Chatham. “A lot of the boys in those days were a bit careless with their gold- dust at times, said Mr. Hielscher, “to me it seemed to hard to get, to throw away like some of them did.” Outside of my expenses, I sent just about all I made to the little woman, who waited for me in Se- attle. She knew what to do with it alright! She just built houses. Now we live fairly comfortable in Seattle and were able to make this trip back here due to our saving. She is here with me now to see the country responsible for our present comfort.” The oldtimer and his wife came to Fairbanks vit the Edgecumbe stage and will be in Fairbanks until June 18. .- A good time to prune, spring flowering shrubs is just after the beaten to death among the rocks, “taking minutes and sometipes hours to die.” | the rapids far abo eithe; American or Canadian falls, letting the current sweep them over.
