Douglas Island news., 1904-03-16

It was announced at the office of the Alaska Pacific Navigation Company this morning that the steamship James Dollar would carry shipment of rail road material on her next trip to Val dez, says the Seattle Times. The vessel will have the first engine sent North for the Alaska Central Railroad, and several flat cars. A large number of laborers, who will be employed on the section gangs, will take passage on the vessel.
 It is surely time the postal depart ment demanded suitable vessel on the Juneau -Unalaska route. Each mail here is of much more relative value than where daily delivery is made and the loss of a mail, which is constant probability, would be heavy one. Let the Department specify in the adver- tisement for bids the minimum ton mage, power, speed, and crew of the vessel used, and make the forfeit for failure double the contract price, and we might get good service. Kodiak News Letter.
 The Newport failed to make her Western trip in Decemb Der, says the Ko- diak News Letter. She ran as far as Coal Harbor and sought shelter from heavy storm. She lost two anchors and chains and drifted on the beach, and it was thought she would remain there. After sixteen days there came strong of-shore wind with rising spring tide and she foated off. The Newport is wholly unfit for the run. The little power she formerly had was cut down by the inspectors so that her best speed is only six or seven knots.
 The Dawson Sun says that Arthur Victor Buel, of Puyallup, Washington, the heavyweight cartoonist of the Golden North, and Joseph Andrew Clark, of Brockville, Ontario, the heavyweight opposition politician of Yukon, are matched to go into the show business together on March 1st. They will go as far as they can. Joe and Buel will travel over the creeks on a lecture tour. Joe will do the spieling and Buel will do the illustrating. They should be able to put up very inter- esting entertainment, and their efforts will doubtless be rewarded with crowd ed houses wherever they appear.
 A dispatch to the Seattle P.-I. from Dawson says: Imbedded in the golden paystreak of an ancient channel, thirty eight feet below the surface of the ground, where the frost is practically permanent, the complete form of a mastodon was found today at Hillside, opposite No. below Amick's discovery, on Quartz creek. The flesh of the animal is somewhat decomposed, but the hair and skin remain intact. Owing to the frozen ground the work of ex- cavating the immense beast was very difficult. It was only by the use of steam thawing plants that it was brought to a successful conclusion. Three men, named Pierson, Swanson and Porter, are the owners of the mas. todon. They state that only one or two specimens have been discovered previous to today, and that in the mu- seums where they are kept valuation of s50,0o0 each has been put upon them. The tusks of the animal are intact, and are fast to the giant skull, giving the monster a hideous appear !ance.

other is to arouse public sentiment against the
corporation violating the law finally interpreted
by the Court of Appeals One or the other or these
means will probably be employed next week.
Luke O'Reilly, the lawyer, who brought the trans
fer suit against the Brooklyn Heights Railroad
which was decided in his favor by the Court OF
Appeals last week. declared yesterday his inten-
ton Of bringing legal action to determine the
validity of the abrogaton by the brooklyn Heights

believes that the lines of the latter still con-

BY the abrogatioD of the Nassau lease the Brook
