It's infancy he entered the iron busi-
ness, and the infant grew into the gi-

Juneau will be the home port for anoth- CT line of steamers to the westward. The announcement has been made that the Pacific Coast steamship Company VIII place the Ramonia on the Juneau west ward run. to be followed by several moro steamers should business warrant it. The Ramonia is a wooden ship, built at san Francisco. and has an average long dls- tancc speed of ten knots.
 Tho westward steamers will be operated from supt. Roblnson's office.
 There is little doubt but what the ven- ture will prove to be solution or a scheme for prosperous and satisfactory steamship connection with the westward. The Pacific Coast Company do not desire any mall contract. and it is generally conceded that the present contract which Is being filled by the steamer Discovery. will go to them.
 Tho Discovery Is being operated by the Simpson Logging Company, who consld- CT that they have been buncoed in the contract. and who openly express their disgust at the taking of the contract.
 Traffic Manager Woodwork. of the Pa cihc Coast Company, recently returned from san Francisco. at which point it Is stated. he arranged for the placing Of the westward steamer and it k positive ly announced that he recommended the new line.

MUCH WORK IS DONE
Canadian Government Has Been Inn
 provinF tho Yukon River

\ report of what work the Canadian government has accomplished towards aiding navigation on the Yukon. has just been received by the Alaskan.
 The report slys in substance:
 For Che past two years thc government bad Mir. J. C. Tachc in Che Yukon as supcriutcud,nt of Public Works there. lic has been assisted by Mir. M O. Mer- rfcr. C. E.. and although much yet re- mains Co Doc done. considerable amount of work has been accomplished, as will nc seen by thc following summary which. however. deals only with the Upper Yu- kon river:
 ON THE YUKON.
 At Five Fingers. about Goe0 cubic wards of rock were blasted out. which resulted in the fan of the rapids being reduced from 7-foot fall Co one or two feet. This has enabled one or two of tho most powerful river steamers Go stem the rapid without the aid of cables or shore lines.
 At 3o-Mllc. li6 boulders, averaging over tons each. have been removed. and at Rink Rapids. five large boulders were blasted ont Of the navigoblc channel and oight or ten more between Lake Marsh and Cariboo.
 Al the head of Lake La Barge. three wing-dams have been commenced. with a view of strengthening and shortening the channel one dam is iOO feet long, one 2.iO0 feet and the third i.9O feet aIl being ten feet wide. They are. built of brush stones and sand. Sec ,lvcd ln their position by piles driven In hc bed at j-foot intervals owing Co the .ollmc of water. the work was rendered both dangerous and slow in places. and .hc Superintendent and several of the men had narrow escapes from drowning luring the progress of the work. The piles 'riNcn wen, secured on the lake shor,, md many were go feet long and 2o Inches lt the butt. \ 2.ioo-lb. hammer was used to drive the piles. and a io-inch suction entrifugol pump was used in raising Inc sand from the bed of the channel and placing lt on the brush androcks. The 1ump steam winch and hammer were an obtained from the Vancouver Engineer Ing Works.
