NEW BOAT FOR ALASKA.
Unique Plan of Party From St Paul
of Whaleback Type.

Tacoma, Wn., March 19.-The most
unique craft planned to navigate Alas
kan waters is that which a St Paul
party, now in Tacoma, is to build here
for the trip to the Copper river.
The St. Paul men intend to construct
a small whaleback and to run her to
the Copper river. The craft will be con-
structed in a local shipyard and will be
tons of freight. It is to be constructed
so that an accident, if one should occur,
will not sink the boat.
The whaleback will be 40 feet long,
have beam of nine feet six inches. and
when loaded with 81 tons of freight,
will draw four feet six inches. Only
the wheelhouse and skeleton deck will
show above the water.
1--WE will be ready to start in about
five weeks said S S. Silvis last night.
Our boat will not take longer than
that to build, and it is expected that we
will have it well under way by the time
that the rest of the party arrives. Some
of the plans may be changed during the
work of construction, but in the main
the boat will remain as we have plan
ned.
''The engines will be situated just aft
arnidships and the boiler will be amid
ships Hammocks will be swung in the
forward tween decks and there will be
both forward and aft holds. The pilot
house will be amidships on the hurri-
cane deck. There will probably be TAX
en- aboard about 80 tons of freight, in
cIuding a portable saw mill which it is
intended to use on Copper river Then,
too. besides our own freight we will also
take other supplies which may be sold
there"

KANSAS AT IT'S BEST.
Mr.. Edward Wilder Says He Never
Saw the Country Look So Well.

"I have passed through western Kan
sas at least once every year since be-
came identified with the Santa Fe,'
said Treasurer Edward Wilder today,
but I never saw that portion of the
state looking as well as it is at present.
I was surprised at the herds of cat
tie now quartered in the western cOun-
ties, and the land not used for pastur-
ing purposes is practically all in culti-
vation To all appearances the pros
poets for the year in the western part
of the state, and of course in the cen
tral and eastern portions, are excellent
for this year. I feel more thoroughly
satisfied with Kansas than ever before,
notwithstanding the fact that I saw
Arizona and southern California at their
best during the past two weeks
Mr. Wilder returned Friday after a
trip through Arizona, New Mexico and
southern California, where he took part
in the sales of Santa Fe lands.

HURST MAY GET ANSON.
The ST. Louis Manager Disagrees
About the Salary IS AL

st. Louis, March 19.-It is reported in
St Louis that Mana ger Tim Hurst OF
the browns is after Uncle Adrian"
Arson for first baseman of the St.
Louis team. It is said that AnsOn is
the man of whom Hurst has been talk
ing when he has remarked that he was
after a first baseman and if he got him
there would be big surprise in the
league as we'll as among the people in
St Louis and all others interested in
baseball. The report is that AnsOn has
told Hurst that he would cover the first
bag for the browns, but he is holding
out for a big salary, and it is a ques-
ton whether the management will
agree to the amount.
Hurst believes that AnsOn can still
play a swift game at first and that he
has lost none of his hitting abilities.
He also believes that Anson would
prove a big drawing card and that he
would lend a certain standing to the

Santa Fe VIII Sink an Artesian
Well at Kinsley.
Western Division Must Have
More Pure Water.
KANSAS AT ITS BEST
Says Treasurer Wilder After a
Western Trip.
Rock Island Using Lime Stone
Ballast Now.

The American Wen Boring company
will shortly commence work on con-
tract with the Santa Fe for the sinking
of an additional artesian well at Kins-
ley, Kan. The well will be several
hundred feet deep, and similar to the
well now at Kinsley which furnishes
much of the water used by the Santa
Fe engines on the western division.
The well water secured at an ordinary
depth in western Kansas is of an alkaH
nature, and very injurious to lOcOmo-
tive boilers. For this reason artesian
wells are a necessity in that part of the
state.

New York, March 19.-The report cir
culated that James C. Blaine is engag-
ed to be married to Miss Kuehne Bev-
eridge, the sculptress, is generally ac-
cepted as true.
Miss Beveridge is in Paris and
Mr.. Blaine is occupying her studio
on East Fifteenth street, which was a
stable until it was converted into an
artists domtcile. Mr.. Blaine is a son
of the late James G. Blaine. He was
married in 1856 to Miss Marie Nevins
by the Rev. Father Ducey. The we'd
ding, a clandestine one, created much
comment.
Miss NeVins was young and hand
some and lived with her parents at the
New York hotel. She had studied for
the stage with AIOdjeska, but she was
too delicate to become an actress.
The elder Blaine and his family were
not very warm in their greetings to
the young bride. She and her husband
went to Pittsburg, where he obtained a
