AN INTERESTING LETTER.
From Elmer Markley, Of Cairo, Stark
County, Who Is Now On His Way
TO the Alaskan Gold Fields.

Dutch Harbor, Alaska, June 13.-on
May 20 we left the White Star dock at
Seattle at 2:40p p. m, on the Hayden
Brown, and were anchored to q buoy.
Left there on the Goth at 5:45 p. IN. On
May 2S we reached the Pacific ocean and
winds and June the observations
showed we were 500 miles west of Cape
Flattery and 80 miles north. June had
very strong wind, sailing 10 miles per
hour. Observations showed that on
June we we're half way between Cape
Flattery and Dutch Harbor. June 8,
good wind but very f0ggy indications
that we will soon be In sight Of land.
June 8, observations showed we were 100
miles from the pass into Dutch Harbor,
and we saw the first land at p. m. and
bade Pacific waters goodby. The morn
ing Of June IL found BeriDg sea very
wild and we could not make landing.
The scenery is very beautiful; high
mountains on both sides with no timber
on them, but covered with snow and
moss. We also passed real volcano.
Our ship was anchored on the night Of
June IL.
am enjoying my trip extremely well
and only wish for you all to be with me
to behold the works Of nature. June 10
we raised anchor and sailed into the
harbor, and anchored again about one
mile from the dock. The anchors weigh
nearly three tons. The scenery is the
grandest I ever saw. The stream is only
few miles wide and is divided by a
mountain, causing two harbors; to the
right, Dutch Harbor to the left Unalaska
harbor. Two Aleutiaps or natives rowed
up to the ship, their boat being about
two feet wide and I judge nearly 30 feet
long and pointed at both ends, covered
with skins of animals with only two holes
to sit in; they go very fast. June 13 at 8
o. m. we were rowed to the dock by the
ships lifeboat and stepped on Alaskan
ground for the first time.
The town has about as many houses as
Middlebranch and Oval City combined,
and are mostly small frame houses about
16 by IS feet and 10 feet high, with few
sod houses also. They have CATTLE hogs,
sheep and chickens, but no horses. There
are some reindeer here, placed by the
government, and dare not be molested.
The soil is from 8 to feet deep on the
side and top Of the hills, and as black
as Ohio muck, but l think 1t contains a
little more sand. The climate seems to
be very moderate. The ooldest weather
last year was 10, 10 and IA degrees above
zero. There is plenty Of rain and they
will raise some few potatoes, but they are
like Ohio muck potatoes. am still
carrying Stark county time and the
difference is hours and 80 minutes.
There were passengers on board our
ship 66 years old and bound for the gold
fields, and from all countriss, Australia,
South America, Europe and Africa, and
| nearly every state In the Union. The
weather now reminds me of about th.
first of March.
There were three different kinds Of
birds following us all the way from
Seattle. First, e very large one, ther
the size of dove, then some the size of 0
bluebird, but the deep water birds will
not come close to land. also saw severa,
large whales. ELMER MARKLEY,

Train-Train Crew Detained
Him-well Known
Character Killed.
Coroner McQuate was called to Mas
sillon Sunday to investigate two deaths
that occurred there as the result Of walk
ing on railroad tracks.
Fred Tbontz, an unmarried man aged
40 years, who resided near Youngstown
Hill, had started for home In an intoxioa-
ted condition. When near home he was
run down by Ft. Wayne train and in
stantly killed The trainmen of the
second section Of freight train No. dis
covered the mangled remains. A brother
in-law Of the dead man was arrested by
the train crew and was taken to Mas
sillon and turned over to the police and
locked up. The trainmen thought the
prisoner had acted suspiciously but no
charge was filed against him. Coroner
McQuate today Investigated that phase Of
the unfortunate accident with the result
that the prisoner was discharged from
custody. 1t was shown that the prisoner
had quarreled with third man who was
In the party and that Thontz walked away
from the pair who were fighting and
stepped directly in the way Of the passing
train. The prisoner had no connection
with the death.
While investigating the Thontz case
word reached the coroner that the re-
mains Of man had been found near
Millport on the Q. L. s. W. railway. An
Investigation showed that man named
Steven Williams, residing at Coxey's
stone quarry, had been ground to pieces
by G. L. g. W. train. The remains
were scattered along the track for several
hundred feet and were found by the crew
Of extra freight No. 9. Williams was
quite character, having sailed the seas
for many years. During one of his
cruises he was accompanied by Jesse
Coxey, son Of Gen. j. S. Coxey. He
had also served number of years In the
o. 8. regular army. Williams was an
unmarried man, aged 45 years.

For Better Teachers.


State Superintendent Stryk says
that he intends to send out circular
letter in the near future to the school
boards of every city and school district
in the state urging them to hire no
teacher who is not close student and
q constant reader of good literature
ssKansas, like all other states is over
run with lot of incompetent teach
ers," said he, land propose to do all
I can to remedy the evil here. Of
course there will be big howl go up
among the teachers, but the bit bird
is the only one that dutters. The bet,
ter class of teachers will endorse the
idea. A teacher must read good lit
erature to keep up with the times.
He cannot make q good, efficient
teacher by simply studying the text
books from which the lessons are
taught. His knowledge must be exc
tended. IF the poor teachers are
weeded out, the better class of teachers
will command higher salaries and
he people will get better results from
