DESERTED THE HOSPITAL.
Boy With Injured Skull Does No,
Wait to Have Il Fixed.

Seattle.-Douglas McAdam, II
years of age, arrived in the city Sun
day night, having walked all the way
from Anacortes, where he deserted
the British ship Victor. A few hours
after his arrival he fell in fit on the
street and was taken to the Whyside
mission. There he recovered and in
half an hour made his escape and has
not been seen since.
According to the story Of the boy
told at the hospital, he ran away from
his home in New York and shipped on
a vessel bound for Liverpool. After
a short stay in that part of the world
he again shipped on a grain vessel
bound for Puget sound and arrived at
Anacortes on the Victor a week ago.
On the trip over the lad fell from
the rigging and his skull was injured.
The skull was trepanned, but the
pressure on the brain was not re-
lieved. It was for the purpose of
having this fixed, he said, that he
walked all the way to Seattle. What
strange notion took possession of him
to leave the hospital cannot be sur
missed, as he had been informed that
another operation would be per-
formed just as soon as he was able
, stand 1t.

KING BEATS PIERCE
By CLOSE SHAVE
On the Question Of the Annexation Of
a Part Of vashon Island
to Latter.

Seattle.-Tne voters of Maury is
land and the southern part of vasho1
! island have determined to remain
King county. The announcement ii
| the Tacoma papers and a local even
ing paper that large slice of King
| county would be annexed to Pierce as
| a result of last Saturdays election
now that the returns are all in. ap
pears to have been premature and
| unfounded in fact.
The election was ordered severa
weeks ag- by the commissioners OF
King county on petition signed by
three-fourths of the voting popula
ton of the localities. It was repre-
scented that the residents of the is
lands were almost a unit in their de
sire to have the territory transferred
to Pierce county for reasons of bus
mess and convenience, it being point
ed out that the district was naturally
tributary to Tacoma, and, from q
transportation standpoint practically
isolated from this city.
The election was held on Saturday
There were LOG votes cast. Those
favoring the transfer numbered fifty
six, while those which were cast in
favor of remaining part of King
county number fifty-one. It appears
that, no sooner had the canvass of the
vote been announced than the aivo-
Gates of annexation proclaimed they
had won the fight without taking the
precaution to inform themselves as to
the law.
H. A. Stanley, of Burton, on Vashon
island, one of the opponents of annex
nexation, came to this city and con-
suited County Attorney Scott regard
ing the law governing such elections,
and was promptly advised that it re-
quired three-fifths vote of the resi-
dents of any locality to transfer al
legiance to another county. Under
the circumstances the election proves
a victory for the King county adher-
ents
It is said that no election held in
recent years in the locality aroused
so much feeling. While it did not ap-
pear on the surface that either coun-
ty was interesting itself in the out
come, the most intense interest pre-
vailed and there was a sharp divis-
ion of popular sentiment.

Nothing Will Grow.
II met a number Of men who had
gone to Copper Center to farm They
had read Governor Brady's report on
the farming district Of Alaska. They
told me that they had taken in 1900
pounds of seed and they could not
grow anything. There is no use try
ing to grow anything in that soil l
do not believe there could be enough
grain and We. stables raised in all
Alaska to fee, dozen men. It is
all bosh to state that Alaska is a
farming country Or stock-raising
country. There is no timber in Alas
ka that is any good, y except in the
southeastern part. On the whole men
who can make a living On the outside
have no business to 60 to Alaska, for
it is the poorest country that l know
of today.
"The building of railroads in Alas
ka will be an expensive proposition. It
will cost not less than $4,000 mile

to Eagle. There is nothing to build
railroad for yet, except to reach the
copper deposits on White river, and
the line from Valdes to Eagle would
not go anywhere near these deposits.
If railroads were built it might develop
some better country, but without a
railroad it will take many years to
prospect Alaska, owing to the diff

officers that he was willing to plead
guilty to petit larceny, but in the light
of his recent escapaie he probably
considered that a plea of guilty to
burglary would let him OF with a

BLACK EYE
FOR ALASKA
Given by a Capitalist
Recently Returned.
1T IS No H.iCE FOR A POOR MAN
Thousands Now There Are in Dancer
Of Starvation During the
Coming Winter.
IT is No HaiCE FOR A P0HR MAN

Tacoma, Wash.-Henry Eratnober,
of Oakland, Cal, who is interested in
banks in Tacoma, and Helena, Mont,
and who is a heavy stakeholder in the
Tacoman smelter, the Treadwell
mines on Douglas Islands, and in 9TH
er mining properties in Alaska and
the Yukon territory, has just return
ed from a long tour through different
parts of the north, and the report
that he brings back is not encourag-
ing. He is very bitter in his denun-
citation of those who are making eff
forts to get people to go to Alaska
through false misrepresentation, and
he blames transportation companies
and the newspapers on the sound anu
in Alaska for the suffering that he
says is evident On every hand at the
present time. Mr.. Bratnober is "a
man whose word would never be ques-
toned by those who know him and
the statements that he makes will I'M
doubtedly prevent many people, from
spending their money to go to a coun-
try where, he says, they can hope for
no returns from the capital and time
invested. He said:
Il passed through the Tanana coun-
try on my way from Valdes to Eagle
and there found lot of prospecrors
who were suffering for the necessa-
ries of life. The party that met had
not had anything TO eat for II days
with the exception of huckleberries
Most of the men were provided with
money, but there were no provisions
there for them to buy. The party
had been in the country for some time
and had not found single color of
gold for their work. l had some pro
visins with my outut that had packed

estimation there is but one way to
get relief to the men and that is from

Whether he can DO enough to relieve

banks 1 believe they could get some
provisions there. But the distance
is 200 miles or 300 miles-too far for
the majority of the men to walk, in
their present emaciated condition,
and the river is dangerous. A num-
Der of prospectors have already been
drowned in trying to go down the
river on RATS.
Men Without Experience.
"a majority of the men who go in
to these traps are not experienced
prospectors and they make no pro
vision for getting out. When they
attempt to go out On RATS they build
them too cumbersome and it is i'm
possible to steer them. As result
the RATS either strike some rock in
the middle of the stream and are
torn to pieces, or else they run under
'sweepers' near the bank and the out
fits and the men are brushed off, The
outfits are always lost in cases of this
kind. Sometimes the men manage to
reach the shore and save their lives.
But it not infreQuently happens that
the men go to the bottom of the river
with the outfits.
How little the men that swarm
into the countries where gold is re-
ported know about taking care of
themselves the story told by H. w.
S. Behrens of New York, will illus
trate. Behrens was one of the prospec-
tors that met in the Tanana country.
He was discouraged and thought he
would get out by building raft and
floating down the Tanana river, a
glacial stream that flows with great
rapidity. He built his raft, and in
stead Of using willows, as an old pros
pector would have done, to bind the
logs together, he used every stitch of
clothing that he could spare. He had
gone but short distance down the
river, when he was caught by a
sweeper and brushed off the raft.
He managed to get to shore, and then
remembered that all the money he
had in the world was sewed in the
lining of vest that he had used TO
bind the logs of the raft together.
81 visited the Yukon country and it
is not as prosperous as it was when
l was last there two years ago. There
are many idle men in Dawson and
they are getting out of the country
just as fast as they can. There will
be little if anything doing at Dawson
this winter. The ground that will be
drifted is very scarce, and it does not
pay to drift poor ground.
There have been no new discover
les in Alaska or the Yukon this year.
A strong effort has been made to get
up stampede from White Horse to
the Alseck river. l met some pros
pectors at White Horse, whom
knew to be good reliable men. They
had just returned from the so-called
new diggings and they Informed me
that there was nothing there that

Death of Mrs. George W. Hunt.

Mrs. Sarah (Crawford) Hunt wife of
Rev. George W. Hunt, pastor Of the
Methodist church at Enosburg Falls,
died at her home last week Tuesday
afternoon, after an illness of four months.
She was born in Union, Conn, March 4,
IS43 She was twice married, her first
husband being Dwight Whittemore, who
died soon after the birth Of their only
son. After this she lived at the place of
her birth, Union, Conn, where on Jam
uary 8, 1876, she was married to Rev.
George w Hunt who was then located
in Connecticut. They lived in various
places in southern New England, where
Mr.. Hunt was pursuing his work in the
ministry, until tour years ago when they
came to st. Iohnsbury. In April, 1902,
they went to Enosburg Falls, where they
have since resided, Mr.. Hunt having just
entered upon his second years pastorate.
Mrs. Hunts condition first demanded
the attendance OF physician about three
months ago and she was taken to the
Massachusetts, Homeopathic Hospital,
Boston, where an operation was perform
ed, and it was supposed she had found re-
lief, but it was soon discovered that the
real cause of the trouble had not been
found, and she has since that time rapidly
failed. She leaves two sons, D. S. Whit
temore, Nd. D., of Brockton, Mass, and
George L. Hunt Of ST. Johnsbury, two
daughters, Mrs. W. H. Knowles of
Brockton, Mass, and Miss Ruth W.
Hunt of st. Johnsbury; and step
daughter, Mrs. E. Y. Mason of Delaware,
Ohio, daughter of Mr.. Hunt by former
marriage. Mrs. Hunt is also survived by
two brothers, Luther Crawford of Stat
fordville. Conn, and George Crawford of
Union, Conn.
The funeral was held at the church Fri
day afternoon, Rev. c. S. Nutter, of St.
Adams, presiding elder, officiating and
the ihterment was at the Missisquol
cemetery at Enosburg Falls. The Enos-
burg Standard says OF Mrs. Hunt:
During her years residence in Enos-
burg Falls, Mrs. Hunt had come to be
known among the circle of her acquaint-
ances as woman of noble Christian
character. The sympathy of the COM
munity goes out to the bereaved hus-
band in the loss he has sustained"
