DYEA A SUPPORT.
Made So for the Accommodation of People
En- Route to KIondIke.

Made So for the Accommodation of People
En- Route to KfondIke.
WASHINGTON, July 24-In view of
the present rush of travel to the Klon-
dixie gold fields Secretary Gage has es-
tablished a SUPPORT of entry at Dyea,
Alaska. The action was taken as the
result of an application to the treasury
department by Canada for permission
for Canadian vessels to enter at Dyea,
Alaska, and land passengers and
baggage there. Dyea is about fifty
miles north of Juneau, and it was de
sired to save passengers the annoyance
of disembarking at Juneau and await
ing another steamer for Dyea, the head
of navigation on the route to the Yu
kon frontier.
The granting of the application
would have made it necessary in ali
cases of vessels clearing for Dyea to
give special permit to the denuty at
Juneau, in the case of each vessel. In
order to obviate this directly the sec.
rotary of the treasury constituted
Dyea a SUPPORT of entry. This action
was taken under authority of the act
of March l6, 1896, which authorizes the
secretary to establish supports at
such places in Alaska as he may deem
proper.
Some objection was made by rep
resentatives from the Pacific coast to
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 by statute to make Dyes
a SUPPORT, thus relieving passengers
from the annoyance of disembarking
at Juneau and awaiting other means
of transportation to Dyea-

A THIRD BRIDGE
To be Erected Over the Mississippi River
at Sc. Louis.

at ST. Louis
ST.. LOUIS, July 24.-Within the next
80 days a commission of government
engineers will arrive in the city to To-
cate the third bridge over the Missis-
sippi river between St. Louis and
East. st. Louis This commission
was provided for in the char
ter granting the company the
right to build the bridge under the
three-quarter mile limit. Everything
has been arranged for their coming,
and as soon as they get through with
their work the company will proceed
with the work of letting the contract
for the construction of the bridge.
It will be the duty of the commission
to take testimony, make estimates and
measurements, and finally fix the To-
cation of the bridge. Under the ex-
listing law it will be impossible for the
new company to select a site within
three-quarters of mile of either of the
old bridges.
1t is thought that the site will be
near the foot of either Mulianphy or
Florida streets, but until the commits
sion makes its report it will be lmpos-
sible for the company to proceed.
