Wrangel Narrows
To Be Deepened
Appropriation Of $l.0OO,OOO Rec.
commended for Important
Alaska Improvement.

The increased volume Of commerce
being done with Alaska necessitates
better routes for the vessels engaged
IN the traffic with the north and in
view Of this the secretary Of war has
sent to congress a project designed to
provide a 20-foot channel through
Wrangel Narrows. This narrow water
way, q miles long, with a present low
depth of but 10 feet, lies in the direct
route of commerce In southern Alaska
and larger vessels are compelled to
await favorable tide or 80 mile de-
tour. To blast out sufficient rock to
make 20-foot depth will resuire, in
the opinion Of the war department, the
expenditure Of $1,000, 200, but in view of
the great and growing commerce of
Alaska, the secretary and chief of en-
gineers say the expenditure is justified.
The original project was prepared by
Major Mills, of Seattle, whose estimate
was but $1,0O0,O0O. Colonel Heur, divis-
ion engineer, and the special engineer
board agreed, however, the work would
cost 100000 more, and this amount has
been asked for.

Political Boss
Goes to Jail.
Dreamer Of Hot Air Stripe Arrest.
ed at Seattle for Robbins
Apple Vender.

Seattle, Dec. 10.-Because w. Perrin
and G. H.Frith were hungry for apples
last night they spent the night in the
city Jail. They caught an old apple
vender down on King street and edged
him into an alley. Then while one man
held him the other stole. the apples.
/ The old man set up a mighty yell.
and while Perrin and Firth ran 80 hard
that they boited right into saloon be-
fore they could stop, couple Of patrol
men made good time from the opposite
direction.
i Mr.. Perrin was highly indignant that
he should be arrested. He kept up a
running fire Of talk all the way to the
station and was Grating with both
hands when he was shoed through the
swinging doors He was not going to
submit to search at first, but changed
his mind about that later.
Where's Ed Cudihee,' he yelled, glar
Ing around the room.
Il want every man here to take no
tice that elected Ed Cudihee sheriff
and William Hickman Moore to the
senate and have the papers to prove
It. You bulls have no right to arrest
me-"
A strange silence settled down over
the Office when Perrin declared himself.
and the officers on duty looked at each
other significantly and thought II
might be little dangerous to lock up
the political boss of the county, but
there eemed to be no other way out Of
1t. 'as9
Firth advised his friend to take the
matter philosophically and hinted that
there would be a mighty upheaval In
the police department when Perrin got
his liberty and got the ears Of his
friends.
Perrin was touchy all the way,
through, and shook Off the hands Of
The Jailer as he was being led to the
receiving cell. The next time the jailer
grabbed him Perrin shook in vain to
get loose. Perrin kept up mighty
on the door Of his cell the
greater part Of the night, asking that
be sent forthwith to Sheriff
Cudihee and Senator Moore, neither of
whom, he declared. would suffer their
friend to remain In jail an instant.

speech to the Judge this morning. and

chains These made from the imita-

CHAPTER XII.

A fortnight had slipped away before
Eleanor had realized that time was
passing The days were so very much
alike, What delightful afternoons they
passed together, When the picture
stores and bookstores were no longer
new. they visited the markets and
the hospitals and the school houses
and the public places
where Eleanor had never been and
which she had longed to see. And
while they peregrinated thus, she
never wearied OF her unele's discourse.

places and seen many strange things

the coffee prepared by MIR. Struthers in
his laboratory. and Notwithstanding
this beverage 1t invariably happened
that Uncle Phineas fell asleep before
the singing was at an end.
Over and over again Eleanor was on
the point OF broaehing to her uncle
the question Of her future. but some

Aunt Emma. he would suggest that
she paint on china or give lessons In
whist In order TO satisfy her warnings

definite occupation was growing daily.

out in response to the card with
