ALASKAN DOCKS CROWDED
A SUPPORT of Entry Created to Ac-

ICES British Steamers to Land at
Dyea, North of juneau.

Tie gold fever has resulted In the crea-
tion Of Il sub port OF entry at Alaska TO
enable British vessels to transport passen-
gers to tine gold fields. This was brought
about by an application made to the Treas
ury Department for permission for Canadian
vessels 20 enter at Dyea, Alaska, and land
passengers and baggage there.
Dyea is about fifty miles north OF
Juneau, and it is desired TO save p8ssen-
gers the annoyance of disembarking at
Juneau and awaiting another steamer for
Dyea, the head of navigation on this soute
to the Yukon frontier. If this applica-
tion should be granted. it would be neccs-
saIy in all cases OF vessels clearing Tor Dyca
to give a sptcial permit To the deputy ut
Juneau in the case OF each vessel In
order to obviate this difficulty, the Secre-
tary of the Treasury has constituted Dyea Al
SUPPORT of entry in the District OF Alaska
This action is taken under the authority
of the act of March I6, 1895, which au-
thorizes the Secretary to establish sub
ports at such places in Alaskaa as he NAV
deem proper Some objection was made
by Repre- sentatives from the Pacific coast
70 the granting Of the application to per-
nit Canadian vessels to proceed to Dyea,
but on full consideration of the question it
was thought advisable by the Secretary to
exercise the right clearly given him by
statute 20 make Dyea a SUPPORT, thus re-
lievfng passengers from the annoyance of
disemearking at juneau and awaiting
other means Of Il iansportation to Dyea.
