Considering the mud and threaten
ing condition Of the weather the crowd
on the 4th was Unexpectedly large.
e
The glorious 18th came and went and
is gone. IN obody killed in our burg but
several badly scared and numerous
fingers burnt.
The complete good humor with
which the crowd on the 4th splashed
around in the mud was quite notice
able. Everyone seemed to be jolly
and seeking enjoyment IN his own
way.
The tireboys' celebration was quite
success. Nothing was omitted from
the program that was promised ex-
cept the balloon ascension and that
could not be helped on account of the
rain. The committee made up for the
shortage as mnch as they could by
sending up numerous small balloons at
night.
If Tom Oleson seemed a little surly
for a few days this week he must be
excused. His wife went over into
Sweden to spend the fourth and left
Tom at home to take care of the bab-
les. The floods came and Mrs. Oleson
could not get home for two or three
days and poor Tom had to play mother
all that time.
Did you notice the Singer sewing
machine in the fourth of July parade?
The old Singer is always to the front.
How about that display made by
Dr.. Fay in the parade on the fourth?
Charley Parsons held the ribbons and
looked very much like an Engl sh
Lord out for an airing.
10 Sewell in his parade turnout on
the fourth seemed TO anticipate the
high water as he had his boat already
equipped and manned.
-
If we could have had Aguinaldo and
his Filipino bands here on the night
of the fourth we are inclined to the
belief that they would have sur
rendered unconditionly. They surely
never heard such din of cannonading
and explosions as the boys gave that
night.

THE FAR NORTHLAND|
Porcupine Creek Still Continues to
Draw the Goldseekers-
Along the Coast.

Colonel Frank Gyrgla, special agent
of the land department, has returned
to juneau from an extensive trip into
the Porcupine creek country. He in
vestigated reports that the Dalton
Trail Company had appropriated to it's
own use the old India trail up the
Chilcat river, and found them to be
unfounded in fact He had a pow-wow
with quite number of the leading
men of the Chilcat tribe.
Colonel Grygla took gold pan and
thrashed out nearly handful of mug
gets and coarse gold on Discovery and
other claims on Porcupine creek, and
If seeing is believing, he thinks there
are oodles of the golden fleece where
the samples he carries were washed
from the native earth.
The town of Haines Mission is hav-
ing a steady, solid growth. A sign Of
keep off the grass" could not thrive
there. Lot-jumping is the principal
pastime and it is going on all over
town. There are some people at
Haines who would jump a cook stove
and run off with it, provided it wasn't
too hot. Porcupine City has the ad-
vantage of level site at the mouth of
one of the best bearing creeks in
the district, and the outlook is that it
will become quite camp. 1t is grow
ing. Travel between Haines and Por-
cupine is steady and on the increase.
The trail on the snow is hard and in
fine condition. A large number OF
prospectors are stopping either tempor-
arily or permanently at Walkerville.
on Salmon.
Colonel Grygla's party counted about
80 men on the trail to Porcupine in
nine hours. The Dalton trail will be
in good condition for summer travel.
Jack Dalton's teams are taking in
large quantities Of supplies over the
snow trail.
The "diggings" already located in
the Chilcat and Klohrena river country
are ground for confidence, and the fu-
ture of that section of Alaska, and its
growing towns may be considered
bright.

qualnted with its rapids and whirl
pools. but they were OLD boatmen, and
expressed no doubt of their ability to
take care of themselves. The river for
three or four miles above its junction
with the South Umpqua is succession

especially at this time of year, is both

fell back in disorder on discovering
that the line was still intact.

Chicago, April 5.-Before his two
small children, Joseph Brown. a pack
ing-house employe, was stabbed to
death today by his wife. The murder
was the outcome of family quarrel.

butcher-knife that was lying on the
table. When Brown made a move
toward the knife, Mrs. Brown snatched
it herself Brown raised his foot and
kicked her, but in falling she lunged
forward with the knife, striking him
fairly in the stomach. Maddened with
fury and pain the two battled forward

striking, and the wife plunging the
knife into her husband, until at the
fifth blow he fell backward dead.
Brown was stabbed FIVE times, once un-
der the chin, twice in the stomach,

Lifesaving Service.

Considerable interest has been mani.
tested in Oregon and Washington as
regards the future operations Of the
lifesaving service, says a Washington
dispatch. Many residents of both
states, learning that a new lighthouse
district on the North Pacific was con-
templatod, have written to the treas
ury department. seeking appointments
under the new district. AS a matter
OF fact, such a district is as yet merely
a matter of conjecture, having been
suggested several times and recon-
mended to congress- If new district
rs created, it is the opinion OF the
lighthouse board that it will be by
provision of the next sundiy civil bill,
which, at the earliest cannot pass be-
fore June or July, 1900.

GOMEZ IN A NEW ROLE.
His Head Swelled by His Success, He
Turns Agitator.

n AkiJaUOEs
Havana, April S.-The Cuban mill
tary assembly being dead, General
Gomez will take up his programme of
solidifying the Cuban people into a
party that shall without ceasing, urge
the United States to withdraw from
the island. His purpose is to make
the people seem to have but one emo
tion, one desire-the thought of indie.
pendence and absolute separation from
the United States.
General Gomez considers the disso-
luton of the assembly as his personal
achievement, aided by the military ad-
ministration here and countenanced at
Washington. He believes that he
emerged from the controversy with the
assembly stronger than ever with the
better classes. His theory is that the
Cubans, who before thought him mere
ly an adroit guerrilla chief, are now
prepared to regard him as a political
leader, and that few days more prob
ably will see him in name general-in-
,hief Of the army.
