KILLED H|n5[Lf: RESIDENT OF ELLAMAR IS
 FOUND .Head [ntiTe|y Shattered Supposed To Have Committed Sui eide. Inquest Will Be At
 E11amar.

Wednesday afternoon the body of an old man named Bowman was found in shed adjoining the home of Pete Stenmetz, at Ellamar.
 Bowmon, who has been resi- dent of Alaska for a number of years was a quiet, inoffensive man, of whom little is known.
 The boys who own the house left Ellamar sometime ago to attend to mining property, and the old man took up quarters in their place. He had no regular occupation and would come and go at will, there fore his absence was little noted till a week or ten days had passed, and inquiry began to be made as to his whereabouts, which finally resulted in search of the building. After going through all the rooms they went into the woodshed, and there found the body on the floor, with a shot gun alongside. His head was badly shattered and il Is supposed that he committed suicide.
 Eeauthorities being there to take charge, the discoverers locked the premises and immediately repaired to Valdez, and put the case in the hands of Commissioner Lyons, who left here this morning to view the rema ns and hold an inquest.

Fire at E1lamar.
commenced

Flames were seen issuing from the building known as Little's sa- loon, at Ellamar, on Monday af- ternoon last, by Kramer and John- son, who were about to land on the beach opposite the building. They immediately gave the alarm, and Billy Ripstein, who heard the call, spread the alarm, and, leaving his own saloon, he, with the help of others and few buckets of water, soon put out the flames. which were caused by a defective stove pipe. Some of the occupants of the house were asleep, and the rest were ab- sent, so that nothing was known of the fire until discovered as above stated.

Narrow Escape.

Nine men left Liscum Tuesday afternoon in a small boat to go aboard the Lilly, and as they were alongside the steamer the boats collided with force enough to up- set the small one and the entire party were thrown into the water. The boat immediately sank and as only a few of the party could swim it looked very serious for a time. Stewart ScOw of the hospi- tai corps was going down the third time when he was luckily caught and pulled out. The others were all rescued, with no injuries further than a good ducking.

Geological Surveys.

The work of the geological sur vey for Alaska this year will be in the neighbOrhood of those parts where actual mining operation are now going on. Arthur J. Collier and assistants will study part ol the Seward Peninsula, while D. C. Witherspoon will make a topo, graphic survey of the northeastern part of the peninsula. J. T. Ger dine will go over the ground from Forty Mile west to the Panama. L. NJ. Prindle will have for his share the Forty Mile and Birch creek country, and also the vicinity oi Fairbanks.

To Help the Natives.

Rev. G. s. Clevenger and wife arrived on the Nome City Saturday evening, and will remain here until
 they can cross the summit. They will make an exploration trip into the interior to ascertain what can be done for the Copper River In- dians. They will make their head quarters at Copper Center and try to rearh the different tribes and learn their condition. The orphans will be sent to Wood Island, where an Indian orphanaee has been
 established for some years. The purpose is 10 formulate some
 plan whereby these Indians may
 be brought to self support. Rev. Clevenger will also visit the differ ent mining camps and hold services.

Accused of Manslaughter.

The Bertha brought in Alex. R. Ryan in custody of w. N. Dawson, special deputy marshal from Kenai. The charge against him is attempt ed manslaughter.
 c. w. Gompertz, agent of the P. P. X N. Co.,, twas loading some poles used in fishing onto one of the com pany boats at Kenai, when Ryan appeared on the shore and took three shots at Gompertz with a 3O- 30 rife. It appears that all the fishermen had their poles piled in the same place, and Ryan claimed that Gompertz was removing his pile.
 Ryan was told to quit shooting and if he could prove the owner ship of the poles he would be paid for them. He replied that he had the upper hand of them, and shot again at the boat. The engineer, seeing :that trouble could not be avoided, backed the boat out and pulled down to Seldovia, where they met the new commissioner, Hildreth, who returned with them to Kenai, and put Ryan under ar rest. He was bound over to ap- pear before the Valdez grand jury, under $5, ,OOO bonds.
 w. N. Dawson was sworn in to bring the prisoner to Valdez.

AROUND T0Wh
SPECIAL ELECTION MONDAY.
 A FIRE.
.befoTe The Chamber
Railroad People In Seattle. Sur vey Parties. Local
 Items.

After arriving in Seattle A. B. Hes and James Fish, Jr.. appeared before the chamber of commerce of that city, and unfolded the plans as formulated here, to build rail- road from Valdez to the Yukon. The proposition was favorably re- ceived by the chamber and speci- al meeting was called to consider the matter. When the latter meet ing was held our two representa- tives were present, and the plans were given more in detail.
 While the chamber would not adopt the resolution which was pre- sented urging the citizens of Seat tie to subscribe for $l5O,OO of the stock, they heartily endorsed the building of road from Valdez. From late reports we learn that over $lOO,OOO worth of stock has been subscribed for in Seattle.
 After placing affairs in proper condition in Seattle. Mir. Hes im- nediatcly went the East, where he expects to hurry matters along, and return here at an early date.
 In the meantime affairs are shap- ing themselves we'll at this end of the line. The ties and stringers are being cut and will be landed in town in short time, and then be spread over the line, so that it can truly be said that the building of the Valdez, Copper River X Tana. ma railroad will soon be actually commenced.

Wants To Move To Suburbs.

Itappears that the local inspector of customs in report to the chief of this division has suggested the removal of his office from its present site on Mckinley st. owing to its proximity to liquor saloons, though there are many reputable men who, of their own volition have chosen that locality and in fact the same building as conven- tent and suitable place to do business. However if the office is to be moved it should be a suitable office within easy reach of either of the wharves and within the cor pOrate limits of the Town of Valdez.
 There are many good offices to be had along Mckinley st. or Key stone Ave. that would suit we'll for the purpose and within easy reach of any seafaring man who might have business to transact with the office, though we never heard of a seafaring man who objected to going in the neighborhood of a liquor place.
 On Tuesday a petition was cir culated asking that the office re- main in Valdez and not be removed to the suburbs.
 If you have any old garbage, tin cans. broken glass, dead fish or any thing of that kind that may be in your way in the back yard, just dump it out on the public street where it will be looked upon as an ornament. The bNoken bottles won't mjure the horses feet bit, and the refuse in the tin cans will help to make business good for the doctors. and force us to build our hospital sooner than We expected.

We Fear No Rivals.

When We look over the columns of some of the papers of the District it is rather gratifying to notice their occasional statements about other towns that are springing up along the coast as possible rivals to Val dez." Valdez fears no rival either as a railroad terminal or as a point of entry into the interior. We have an open harbor all the year round, and as site from which to run d railroad we are POO miles nearer to the Copper river than any other point so far discovered.

No English Boats.

News comes from Eagle that Judge Wckersham has decided that boats built in British territory will not be allowed to traffic in any way on the Yukon or Panama rivers-for they cannot enter Amer ican waters All freight and pas sengers leaving Dawson for the new diggings, upon reaching the American line, must be transferred to American boats.

The Nome City and Bertha on going west from here last week had on board some old friends; those that we meet twice each year as they go to and from western points. Among them was J. T. Cornforth, who was on his way to Coal bay, to open up some oil properties. On the same boat was $. w. Wible, bound for Sunrise. He brought with him additional supplies and machinery, and expects to do placer mining on a large scale at points on Turnagain Arm.
