Stone Wall to Be Extended

AS soon as the new pier at the
suspension bridge is built, it is likely
thar the B. and o. will extend the
stone wall, perhaps all the way TO the
mouth of Coal run. The company
owns land enough to contain two
tracks III the rear of the depot when
it is leveled up and this is the main
reason for desiring the pier TO be
built further out. Though the tracks
may not be placed there for several
years yet it is thought by many that
the wall will be built soon. The dis
lance to be covered by the wall is
from 700 to 500 feet

Death Claims AFFAIR Young Victim

y - q
Miss Bertha Agnes Eliason, aged IS
years, three months and thirteen days,
eldest daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. W.
Eliason, of the Fifth ward. died yes
terday afternoon at 2:1O O'Clock. While
her death was not unexpected, it
brought with it an unusual degree OF
sadness because of the high regard in
which she was held by all who knew
her She had been in delicate health
for several years, but her condition
had been alarming since last January
About ten years ago she had a severe
spell Of sickness and it was hardly
thought she would survive, but she got
better and a part of the time since
had enjoyed fair health. For the last
few weeks three physicians had been
in constant attendance upon her, but
all their efforts could not throw off
the ravases of her dreadful malady.
The doctors do not exactly agree as
to the nature of her disease, but 1T is
the general opinion that the cause OF
her death was tuberculosis of the
stomach and bowels. She suffered q
great deal, but when death came she
passed away calmly and peacefully,
surrounded by all the members of the
family, who had been present for the
last week, knowing the end could not
be far off.
Miss Bertha's life was benediction
to all who knew her. She had a most
sweet and amiable disposition, and no
one knew her but to love her. She
was gentle, loving and kind. She al
ways greeted you with a smile, and
you felt when in her presence that
she possessed spirit of rare sweet
ness. She was an affectionate sister
and an obedient and considerate
whose place cannot be filed
in the home where she was so pa
tiently cared for. Owing to her deli
cate health, the members of her fam
lily always showed her unusual marks
Of kindness and consideration.
Miss Eliason made profession of
religion about five years ago and lived
in accordance with the VOWS she made.
She was recently baptized and be-
came a member of the Central Chris
ton Church She leaves a father and
mother, two sisters, Misses Amy and
Addie. and three brothers, George.
Walter and Frank. to mourn their
loss Her remains will be laid
at rest tomorrow afternoon.
The funeral services will take place
at the home at 3 O'Clock. conducted by

 Cinema, town of 1000 population at the head of navigation on the Tanana river, Alaska, asks the Seattle Chamber of Commerce to support it's petition to the Treasury Department to make it port of entry and detail a customs officer there. Cinema is said to be in the grasp of two commercial com panies, the charge for flour being S25 per 100 pounds, and other commodities in like proportion.

 Development work on the Western Fuel Company's new shaft and wharves at Departure Bay, the nature of which has been largely experimental, passed that state when after seven months of drilling through hard rock fine seven foot seam of coal was reached under Nanaimo Harbor. The slope has been driven completely under the channel and the coal was reached on the out skirts of Protection Island, 900 feet from shore. Wharves and large modern bunkers are under construction. When the shaft is completed it will undoubt- edly be the most expensively and in- genuiously arranged for shipping in the world. From the time the car leaves the bottom of the mine until the coal is either dumped into the bunkers or the hold of the steamer, there will be no necessity for locomotives or hand power, the arrangement being entirely automatic.

Another big strike has been made on new creek about four miles from Cinema, called Cripple creek. It is about midway between Cinema and Fairbanks and has been passed over by most everybody travelling between these two points. Recently some pros pectors put down holes on what is now discovery. They got good pay, but kept the matter quiet, but others pros pected their dumps and found things so satisfactory they started a stampede. Since then the discoverers have allowed men to pan in their holes, and reports coming from there are to the effect that ground averages 15 to the pan.-Daw- son Sun.

A co. operative general store is in course of construction in the ranch which will be operated by natives. All the usual groceries, clothes, shoes and general supplies found in Alaskan stores will be sold. It is not assured, however, that the venture will be success. The Indians in the ranch represent dozens of different tribes. Jealousy exists be- tween these tribes and it is expected that this will prove the downfall of the enterprise if it's early efforts are at all successful. The building is good sized one, built by the Indians and is as modern as any of the structures in this section. The proprietors will pay cash for their goods and sales will be made on the same basis.
