CONFLICTING STATEMENTS MADE
Train Crew and Operator Booth Differ as
to the Light Shown.

Investigation by the Pere Mar
quette officials into the cause Of the
wreck has brought out some conflict
ing statements. Operator Z. NJ. Booth,
at McCord's, states most emphatically
that he displayed the red light and
set the board against the approaching
train. The lamp was burning bright
ly two minutes before the train APP
peared in view
Engineer Waterman. his fireman.
and Conductor Neil all state that the
signal lamp was burning, but that in
stead of red light it displayed white
light. Engineer Waterman says that
If there had been no light displayed on
the order board he would have stopped,
but he saw white light, and suppos-
ing the track was clear passed with
out stopping. At McCord's there were
three switch lights and the light on
the order board. The switch lights
were all white. The trainmen do not
think they could have been mistaken
think they could have mistaken a
switch light for the signal light.
When the order board was examined
1t was turned with thered lamp against
the west-bound train. The officials In
vestigating the wreck are inclined to
believe the statement made By the op-
orator at McCord's. They think the
train crew, il the snow and darkness,
mistook . switch-light for the safe

A British View.

The Review of Reviews. of Lon don, d leading exponent of British opinion, recently summarized the Alaska Commission and probable result. From the following it can be seen that another American diplomatic victory is apparent, and that England, if not Canada, has scarce any hope of ever establish ing the Alaskan boundary different from the American contentious:
 "Mr. Secretary Root, MT. Lodge and Mir. Turner have been noni- mated as the American members of the mixed commission of six which will examine into and report upon the vexed question of the Alaskan frontier. Our government, with characteristic inaccuracy, described this commission m the kings speech as an arbitral tribune. It is nothing of the kind. There is not even pretence on the Ameri- can side that the commission will approach the question with an open mind. It is frankly asserted in many quarters that the senate would never have accepted tie treaty if there had been any doubt as to the determination of each and all of the American commissioners to support the American contention through thick and thin. No pro- vision is made for the decision of the question by an umpire in case the British commissioners are equally resolute in upholding the claims of Canada, Unless, there fore, one of the British commis- siOners goes over to the American side the net result of the investiga- tion will be report of hopeless disagreement"

From Chittistone.

Geo. McNeer and C. Golden, re- turned Monday from the Nizina. Golden left here recently for q quick trip to the head of the Nizina. He made some locations at the scene of the new strike, and crossed Scolai pass to the head waters of White river. Nothing definite seems to be known as to the richness of the new discovery on Chittistonc and Scolai creek. al- though many claims have been staked.
 McNeer and Golden remained in town until this morning. when they started on the return trip. The snow trail is about gone and they expect to pack back. They will probably take the government trail to Erncstine and follow the cutoff across tbc mountains to Taral, from which place they will take the Hanagita valley trail up 'he Chitt!na. In all probability these will be the last to leave for Nizina untif the horse trail is open.

SCHOOL BOARD VERSUS THE COUNCIL. ARE
 STILL URdG(oRtTo|of(ouDd| Says The City Attorney. Another Franchise Asked
 For.

The council met at the City Hall Monday evening. The only new business of importance was the introduction of an ordinance grant, ing to the Olsen brothers the right to build and maintain boat house and landing stage on the beach at the lower end of Broadway. This Is to be floating boat landing and Il boat renting business will be run in connection with it. The franchise calls for the completion of the landing by July 4th.
 The report of the City Attorney regarding the powers and duties of the Council and School Board in relation to the school fund was read and discussed at length. The City Attorney takes the stand that the School Board cannot incur any indebtedness beyond the amount set aside for school pur- poses, in accordance with the bve- laws of the Council, which provides that the School Board must pre- sent quarterly estimate oi their expenses to the Council, which approprlates this amount from the funds.
 The new law amends the Alaska code somewhat in respect to school funds, but section 2Ol of this new law provides that the Council shall have the power to provide for fire protection, water supply, lights. wharfage, maintenance of public schools, etc., so that it would seem that the council still have the supervision of school affairs.
 A committee was appointed to investigate the general condition of the finances of the town and report at the next meeting.
 The ordinance creating the office of police judge was not completed in time to be presented this meeting but will be introduced next Mon day.

 It is thought that large areas will be located this year in this section, and large influx of miners and oil men is expected.

From Shushitna.

H. A. Monroe returned to town last Sunday, bringing Is dogs with him. Last February, he, in com pany with Dick Windmuller, went over the glacier and across klutena lake to St. Ann's river; up that river and across to the headwaters of the Shushitna. At Tazlina lake they took an Indian guide. On the way they met others bound for tine same place. Arriving at the Upper Shushitna the party kept four dogs to haul further up the river, while Monroe returned with Is dogs.
 Chris. Hanson, who spent last year in that locality, brought in the report last fall of a rich strike, hence the rush. Chris. is not with the party at present, but expects to join them later on. The native guide with the party claims that the head of the Shushitna is not more than 30 miles from the Panama.

GREAT O|[ f|[[D HISTORY OF THE OIL LAND
 AT Oil Day On Cook |n|et
A Spring of Oil Iuboling From The Ground. Io5o-Foot
 Well.

ihc Stoi SoutnWcStern hiaSEa is showing up exceedingly we'll as a great oil belt. Its existence along this coast has been known for years. hut it is only now attracting the attention of the public.
 In 1896, Ed. Eddleman. of Kenai. while out hunting along what is now known as Oil bay, on the north side of Cook inlet. discov- cred spring of oil bubbling out of the ground. He staked the prop erty but never kept up the assess ment work, and finally let it drop. A. \. Doty and John W. Rowland. who were then in Seattle, hearing of the prospect, took hurried trip to see it staked Il large section and returning formed the Alaska Pe- troleum O., with capital of x1 ,OOO,CO0. This company char tered schooner. loaded hor wi:h provisions and machinery and started for Oil bay. The schooner ran into a severe storm and to save themselves the crew were forced to throw over most of their cargo. That was in 1898. and no. hing further could be done that year, but the following year Mir. August Bowser, who took charge of affairs, got together another outfit and took that to the ground in safety.
 Work was immediately begun. Seven miles of wagon road was built, houses, barns, bridges, etc., put up and a well started. The property then become involved in a law suit, a receiver was appointed and everything was put at stand still for that year. Nothing more was then attempted than to keep up the annual assessment work.
 Mir. BOwser, however, believing in the value of the property worked increasingly until he got it out of the receivers hands. Work was then begun in earnest and is now going on. One we'll has been started which is now down to depth of lO50 feet.
 While the property was in the receivers hands the stock dropped to nothing but is now rapidly ris- ing.
 As the first well is now rapidly nearing completion, preparations are being made to start another. The last Bertha took to their ground ten tons of provisions. a sawmill, engine and boiler for launch, and various other supplies.
 The Excelsior will have more provisions, a large supply of cas- ings and another driller, so that this seasons work will go on con- tinuously.
 The oil. which still continues to flow from the original spring, is of a very high grade lubricating oil, which can be and is used just as it comes from the ground.
 Mir. O. NJ. Dutton, heavy stock holder and one of the most untir- ing workers, came down on the Bertha recently to record some ad- ditional locations. The company now holds twenty-five quarter-sec- tions of the best land.
 On Dry bay, five miles northeast of the above mentioned property is another oil proposition taken up by the Alaska Oil Co., and operated by Brown and Kilburn. They have found similar oil and were last season sinking well when the point broke off the drill, and having no sralples on hand they

Surgeons Invention Gives warning
OF Danger 10 Patients.
Or. Gartner Of Vienna, professor Of
experimental pathology. has invented
an apparatus called a pulse control
Ter" intended to watch and register the
action of the heart and pulse while a
patient is under tie influence Of chloro-
form. cocaine or ether. says the New
York American and Journal The appa-
ratus consists Of a watchlike box, to be
attached to the patients forearm.
The box has a graduated dial and
hands, working according to the pulse
and blood pressure vibrations. which
are registered by an elastic spring in
the most precise manner imaginable.
The physician in attendance, or opera
tor respectively, is all the time kept in
formed Of the exact degree Of the I'M
conscious persons pulse and heart ac-
ton. The controller Furthermore shows
the action Of pulses which the physi-
clans finger cannot feel or find; it feels
the pulse Of every drop Of blood circu-
lating in the arm. The entire blood and
heart action is precisely and continu-
ously photographed on the dial
A number of medical authorities were
interviewed All OF them declared that
the pulse controller would do away
with the danger Of death in narcosis
as it is able to give most timely warn,
ing of approaching heart failure give
it so early and state conditions so accu-
rately that the attending doctors can
take preventive measures betimes. Or
Gartner himself said that he hoped pa
tients and physicians alike would be
benefited BY his invention
'eThe first may now submit TO opera
tons without the haunting fear Of 20
ing to sleep never to wake again. ht
said GAS to the doctors, they are rid
Of a great, absorbing care and can de
vote themselves more closely to theil
surgical work Remember, operations
sometimes last for hours 1t puts aT
awful additional strain on the superin
tending physician to watch the pulse
all the time Many operators have told
me that the constant watch tired theiI
brains more than the case itself"
Up to now one among every 1900
chloroformed or cocained people has
lost his life by heart failure, manual
control of the heart and pulse functions
and close observation Of the pupils OF
the eyes failing at times.

which have fully satisfied the DEPART
,nept that Washington state and part
of Oregon are capable Of producing all
of these bulbs that the flower beds and

Every year. The only difficulty now In
me way is one of freight rates, for the
Dutch Of Holland can still put their
flower bulbs down in New York at a

the same articles overland from the

The bulbs from Holland are service

nave Found Place where Tulips

The presidents cabinet at Q recent
meeting heard lively account from
the secretary Of agriculture MT WYE
SON. about the successful development
Of d new industry in the far northwest
says the Washington Post HIS ue-
partment has been expanding about
5000 annually for hyacinthsr narcis-
suses and tulips from Holland me
Dutch have been experts for genera
tons in growing those flowers ana II
is historic how the production Of tulips
once became such a craze 10 the niue
kingdom that certain choice kinds were
actually worth their weight in gold
The imports into the United States OF
bulbs of these three flowers, which
come packed in buekwheat hulls, are
understood 10 exceed S1,00000O annu-
ally
The department has been experiment
Inc for about I'VE years to find a eli
mate In the United States where the
bulbs for these beautiful blooms could
be produced quite as well as in Hol-
land and has at last succeeded. This
came about Ia unexpected fashion.
Some Dutch who went to northwest
washington to live undertook there to
raise the same choice flowers with
which they had beautifed their sur
roundings in Holland There, under
the beneicent breath of the Chinook
winds, hyacinths, narcissuses and tu-
lips fiourshed even better than in the
choicest spots Of Holland. There are
heavy rains winter and summer in that
section Of washington state, moisture
is constantly in the air, and the soil al
sea level is rich, all the climatic condi
tons closely resembling those in Hol
land.
But these Dutch immigrants wrote
back to Holland about the success they
were having with the flowers from
which at home a vast deal Of money
was being made, and it was from Hol
land that the reports reached the agri
cultural department That led to In
