ON THE SKAGUAY TRAIL
ROAD TO LAKE BENNETT is NEAR
LY COMPLETED
Edward Cummings Reports to Twin
City People the Progress of the
Improvement-Ger Whose
Outfits Were Burned Reach St.
Paul-PrOcessfon Keeps Up.

Among the callers at the Northern
Pacific general offices yesterday was
EDWARD Cummings, of Seattle who
mas just returned from Skaguay,
where work is being almost completed
on the wagon road on the Skaguay
Bracket, of Minneapolis. The road,
which spans the distance from the
town of Skaguay to Lake Bennett
distance of forty-four miles, will be
actually completed by March 1, and is
being used already.
Most of the road is in good condition
there yet remaining bridge to be put
in. There are 100 people a day using
1t. The maximum grade is something
like per cent, and Mr.. Cummings
says an ordinary horse can easily draw
on wheels or runners 1900 pounds.
After reporting to st. Paul and Min
neapolis people interested in the road,
Mr.. Cummings started for the East
last night.
The steamer Townsend, which sails
from Seattle, Feb. %, will carry to
Alaska quartette of men who, with
their dogs, passed through here yester-
day and took passage on the Great
Northern train for the coast The men
are Harry Clark, Harry Mel. George
Gflkeson and Charles Hunt and they
have dog apiece, Mr.. Hunts dog, a
cross between Indian and shepherd,
having already done service in Alaska.
The men hail from Warensburg, Mo-,
and will go to the Copper river.
Asked as to the value of dogs in a
search for golG in that country. Mr.
Hunt, the leader of the party, said that
they hoped to find that the dogs, ex-
cept in hardest weather, would easily
live on small quantity of fish each
day, and would therefore not eat their
heads off.
Paul F. Mohr, an Eastern promoter,
was in st. Paul yesterday for a short
time and left on the Northern Pacific
train for the coast. He will proceed as
far as Skaguay for the purpose of
looking the ground over with view
of reporting as to the feasibility of
building a railroad in the American
section of Alaska. 1t is said he has
ample financial backing for the enter
prise.

MEANT TO KILL THEM ALL
There is no question that Willard meant
to kill the entire party and he was pre-
vented from doing so by the action OF
Deputy Lamers in graphing with him
Had Willard succeeded in killing Lamers.
he could easily have disposed OF Senator
Fulton and Constable Miller as they
came out Of the cottage.
Willard was probably prompted to the
act when he learned that Mr.. Fulton had
identified the shells found In the Lewis
ton dwelling. This was convincing edl-
dence against him, and he doubtless be.
lleved that the indignant people would
string him up for his crime Rather than
die at the hands Of mob. he made
desperate play for a chance to escape.
Willard had lived at Seaside for the
past eight years. Where he came from
no one seems to know, but 1t is the gem
eral belief Of people there. and has been
for years. that ne was fugitive from
justice. 1t is reported that he has shown
