APPEAL or
 ALASKANS > Congress Asked to Pass Donation Act.
SPECIAL COMMITTEE
Appointed to Urge Its Passage This Winter...Wlat It
 Provides.

Former City Attorney Volney T. Hosgatt has prepared a bill to make donations to settlers of public lands in the District of A laska, and a committee composed of Capt. J. J. Healy, Roberl Blei and A. J. McNear, of Valdez, was appointed to urge the passage of the bill in congress. In an interview last fall in the New York Commercial, Capt. Healy said:
 The bill is drawn carefully and ir agreement as far as possible with the settled policy of the government in the disposition of the public lands. There is not q section or feature which is m ,precedented or new. It embodie al the good traits of the Oregan donation act of 1850, which built up that grca territory, now divided into the state. of Oregon. Washington and Idaho, and which included, as well, the greater part of Montana and Wyoming. Thai act saved all of our territory on our northern boundary to .he very source Of the Missouri river.
 History is repeating itself in Alaska. ,Prior to the strike on the Klondike river one of the tributaries of the great Yukon river, no one disputed lhe fac. that that river flowed through Ameri- can Alaska from source to mouth. but as soon as the Klondike was known to be rich in gold the Canadians forged ahead and claimed as far as the ground proved to bc valuable. That will con- ytinue so long as the government deal parsmonioGsly with the great domains in Alaska. If congress will pass wise and liberal land laws that will offer in- ducements 10 the American farmer to migrate to Alaska there will be no future dispute over the true American boundary line.
 ''rhis bill only asks congress to be as liberal with Alaska as it was with Ore gon. It provides for non-interference with the mineral lands, and applies only to land essentially non-mneral and more valuable for agricultural pur- poses. The commissioner of the Gen eral IHnd Office, Binger Herman, will we have no doubt, favor our claims He is an Oregon man, and he know. the effect of the donation act of lS5O."

 T@HE noise of this moving sea of
 ice is different from all other
 noises; noise is not the right
 name for it, neither is it a roar; in fact cannot find a name that aptly describes it. About the sixth day of my stay at Cape Smythe, the gale registered 95 miles an hour, and the ice pack was speeding at least six miles an hour. The route from the stranded vessel to the refuge station, along the coast, was impossible except on the tundra. Part of the distance is is table land from twelve to sixteen feet above the sea level, and on this table land the ice was piled from 20 to 40 feet high. Near the vessel it began piling up about half mile seaward, and continued coming until it reached within 50 feet of the derelict. Then it recoiled back on itself, as it were, and rccedel seaward. The wind veered to the west the last day of the gale. The pressure was on the eastern shore while the wind remained in the south with a little casting. The ice just reached the refuge station. One more start and we would have had no house over our heads," said Capt. Borden, the keeper. It pushed the coal sacks against the building. At the vessel we used d line and found some of the highest points. to which the ice had been piled. from 20 to 60 feet high. The ice would stop some minutes as if to gst,.er more strength and force, only

 The total number of domesticate reindeer i'll Alaska had reached j,643 on the first of last November. Herds are distributed among G0Owners. among whom are Al native Eskimos. The sixty herds are located at the fol- lowing places: Point Barrow, kotzebue, Cape Prince of Wales. St. Lawrence island Port Clarence, Golofnin. Unala- klik. Nuato and kuskokwim.
 The fate Of Mcintyre and Abbey, tIo .,tlin mail contractors. is bout sealeO. The search party found cap of one of them frozen in the ice of Taku. H. 0. Olsen, well known Skagway man, is thought to be lost in At!n lake.
 Rev. c. 5. Clevenger, of Skagway, says that the Copper river is fast be- coming depopulated of natives. Hard ship, hunger and sickness have taken off more than half of the Indians with in the past five years.
 A Skagway dispatch says: All the Alaska people are pleased generally at President Roosevelt's remarks on Alaska contained in his messages.
 The Douglas Island News of Dec. 6, says that if congress does nothing for Alaska this session that paper will come out for a strong territorial form of government next year. So far it has been rabidly the other way. The Ju- neau Dispatch and the Douglas News will thus be on the same side.
 Captain John tealy was expected any day in Seattle in company with several wealthy Fasteners to proceed to Valdez. where he will start big company to furnish supplies to the Cop per River X Eagle railroad. He will also prospect gold and copper proper ties.

A Big Demand for Build
 ing Material.

In a letter received by Mrs. George Beale from her husband at Naldes, un- der date of Nov. s, Mr. Beale states that the Newsboy arrived from Nome the day previous. A rush is expected in the spring. There is big demand for building material but lumber is scarce, and the carpenters are idle on that account only. Mr. Beale says there is a great deal of game in that vicinity, ducks and ptarmigan being plentiful. Capt. Geiger, he said, was also in Naldes.
