| tion of Mrs. F. P. Strong, gave an
informal program which was very
pleasing.
People are somewhat exercised
over what will be done with the money
made by the ladies. 1t is hard to tell.
The Woman's club has never had any
money before. They have always
been on the verge of financial ruin be-
cause they have used their money for
something good. Among these things
put into statuary for the schools ::
twenty dollars sent to the food suffer-
ers last spring. Besides the money
they sent great boxes of bedding and
clothing except what they happened
to have on. The club helped to pay
the doctor bill of woman who had
only her own days work with which
to support herself and two children:
gave a thanksgiving remembrance of
s.. 90 to II widow who was needy: a
Christmas gift of money to another
widow: kept a circulating library in
Kinsley for three years, and brought
two very fine entertainments to Kins-
ley this year. There are other smaller
things. Probably they will keep the
money in the bank, or what is left
after paying heavy expenses, just to
see what it feels like to have dollar
ahead, and then spend it for some
thing to help Kinsley. Every one who
has bought Ii season ticket has had
the largest amount of entertainment
and opportunity of obtaining knowl-
edge ever given in Kinsles for 80
cents. While great man. people
have by loans, labor, premiums and
kindly assistance in many ways con-
trIbuted toward the success and pleas
ure of the arts and crafts exhibit, the
president of the Woman's club, Mrs. J.
F. Wire, has done more than any one
else. The plans and responsibilities
were upon capable and willing shoul-
ders and all who worked with her ap-
preciate her unfailing courtesy and
consideration.

C. R. cORBUsIER MAKES THE
 TRIP
h ThiTty=[i}ht Days
Considers It Quickest, Cheapest, and Best Route From
 Interior.

James w. Dodson and c. R. Cor buster arrived in Valdez on Sun day last, after to-day trip from Fairbanks over the mail route.
 Dodson left Fairbanks on the first of April in answer to call from the Seward managers, who require his services as guide from Seward to Rampant.
 MT. Corbusier, who has for sever al years been in the employ of the N. c. Co. managing the mail and wood branch of their business along the Yukon was at St. Michael's when he received instructions to get to Seattle as soon as possible. He lost no time in getting his su- perb team of seven huskies togeth- er and struck out for Fairbanks. a distance of about 650 miles. He reached there on April Sth, and hearing of the departure of Dodson he left there on the 9th, determin- ed to catch him, which he did on the Delta river. They then travel ed in 10 Valdez together, making q continuous trip for Corbusier about HOO miles, which he accomplished in 3S days.
 Mir. Corbusier is man of vast experience in travelling through Alaska, and in speaking of the route from Valdez to Fairbanks he finds it difficult to fully express himself in its praise as a short, quick and inexpensive way to reach any of the American Yukon points. He did not meet with hitch in the whole route and he is positive in stating that a trail run parallel "itu tHe ouihdlid, Dut dNoitiIilg US many bends, will shorten the route by several days.
 As previously stated there was urgent need for the presence of Mir. Corbusier in Seattle at the earliest possible date. Had he gone on to Dawson and thence to White Horse it would have taken him a month longer to reach his destination, and if he had waited at St. Michael's for a boat he would not reach Seat tie in less than two and a half months later than he will by hay ing come via Valdez route.

Explanatory.

Mir. Miller, the Agent for the A. P. N. Co.,, states that the steamship James Dollar will on the next trip resume her itinerary, and after reaching Valdez will go to Seward and return here before proceeding to Seattle.
 He explains that the reason for the boat varying from this sched- ule, on this last trip, was the desire to make ap time lost caused by her being compelled to go into the dry dock on her last arrival at Seattle.

More About Breakup
Letter Giving Details Of Break.
 up On The Chittyna.

CHITTYNA RIVER, April 15.-The Chittyna river went out on April 14th, and caught a number of peo. pie. Fish, Bence, Ikes, Murray and Dennison are camped at Me Carty's cabin. The Hazelett out fit are about three miles below on opposite side of the river. Part of the Fish outfit are at the mouth of the Chittyna; part of the Hazelett outfit is at the Fish camp.
 The river went out about 5 p.m., and it was hard work to save the Fish cache. The Fish crowd saved most of Hazelett's supplies. The water rose ten feet in about ten minutes. They worked for nearly an hour in water waist deep. The Siwash did good work in saving saving goods. Men, women and kids were in the water carrying stuff high and dry.
 We are unable 10 learn what started the breakup, and cannot tell how many are-stuck above us. Magnusun and Dgarf left on the 12tb. Scott brothers here on the 9th; Bonanza outfit on the 3rd Frazer X Delaney lost their entire outfit about a mile below. A Swede and Dutch boy opposite lost part of their outfit. Some of Hazelet,'s outfit lost and part ruined by wat. CT. We picked up to-day about three ton that had been thrown ul in the ice jam, but most of that was ruined by water.

VALDEZ, ALASKA. THURSDAY. APRIL 2s. 1904.
Sunrise Tales.
Want Mail Service Improved.
 Coal Lands.

Commissioner Hildreth arrived here on April Sth from Seward, after quite hard trip as the weather here for the past two weeks has been rainy, making travel slow and tedious. The judge was five days making the trip. He brought about forty pounds of mail, which was pleasant surprise as it was not expected that any more mail would he received until navigation opened. The overland mail service closed in March, which leaves Sun rise and Hope without mail for the period of about six weeks. While appreciating the extremely good mail service of this winter and the untiring efforts of Mr. Anton Eide. the mail carrier, to arrive on time. we still have a grievance. The mail contract should be extended so that the towns of Sunrise, Hope and Knick would not be obliged to be without mail service for six weeks. A strong effort will be made to have this defect remedied, and if possible, to have bi-monthly service next winter. A twice-a- month schedule could easily be es- tablished without great deal of expense to the government, as boats touch at Seward, which is the dis tributing point for this section, two and three times a month during the winter.
 There has been quite little travel through here this winter; several parties being on their way to the Shushitna river, to the new ly discovered coal fields.
 These coal fields are of large ex- tent and practically inexhaustible, and from the analysis of the Uni versity of Michigan ranks second to Pennsylvania coal. This is a grand thing for Alaska, and if cap ital will take hold and develop these mines it will advance the country to no little degree.
 Commissioner Hildreth leaves Sunrise on the 18th for Seward, where he expects to remain per manently. As there has been only one criminal case from the inime- diate vicinity since the judge took his seat at this place over one year ago, and that case minor offense. He is naturally desirous of being located in somewhat more boom- ing town and not in a law abiding place like Sunrise. The duties of justice of the peace are not very pressing here, but it is expected that there will be some demand for a commissioner at Seward, as a new town is always more or less in somewhat of turbulent state.
 It is reported that Mir. E. Petel- len, agent of A. c. Co.,, at Hope, has been appointed deputy record CT by Judge Hildreth, for this sec tion, as it is expected that the re- cording office will be removed to Seward by request of commissioner Hildreth. THE TATTLER.
