One vessel has crossed life's ocean,
And anchored safe in the bay.
A chair Of our hearth is empty,
And voice in our home is still,
And we think of our Dissent loved one
And place we can never fill.

To the heaven bright and blue;
And to think of our precious loved one
Who is there beyond our view"

COUNCILMEN.

In the winter of 1S9I-9S about 5000 people landed where Valdez now stands and started to pene- trate country entirely unknown and unsxplored, stretching away to the Yukon, about 500 miles dis tant. In travessiAg the country there was absolutely nothing to guide them, not even sn Indian trail. The trials, struggles and hardships of that trip will live long in the memory of those who took part. A two years supply of food had to be taken in on hand sleds, and many succumbed in the strug- gle and left the country. The first year proved a failure except in ex- perience but the few hardy ones staid msnfully with it, exploring and prospecting new sections. Fi- nally mineral in vast bodies and of great richness was discovered, now in one place and again in another, until today mineral is known to exist in widely scattered sections all over the great Copper river val ley. The men who made the dis coveries are not to be envied. They struggled hard to find the ground and they are still struggling to keepit. They must comply with the law which demands that cer- tain amount of work shall be done on the property each year. Being still dependent on the sled and pack horse for transporting outfits to their property, they are unable to take in the necessary tools and machinery for developing the pros poets, and have to be content with merely doing the assessment work, whereas with proper transportation facilities so that the cost of moving supplies would not be so great, they could develop their claims and make a showing such that capital would be eager to take hold of them. We have here a vast coun- try containing over 590,O0O square miles; the coast section of which has each year turned into the na- tional treasury handsome returns for it's original outlay, which is practically the only outlay that has so far been made. All the de- velopment of the country that has been attempted thus far has been by the prospector with private cap ital. and it amounts to many thou sand dollars. In fact they have become poor in the attempt to open up this vast domain and cannot be blamed if now after a six years struggle they turn to the national government, the real beneficiary, {, and ask that assistance be given in the way of wagon yvads. They have asked for roads aud for no- thing else and we believe that they are modest in their demands, and we sincerely hope they will be granted. A trunk road beginning at Valdez and leading across couD- try to Eagle would insure grand future for Alaska. Mining towns would spring up at many points and farms would rapidly be in op- eration to supply the wants of the people-the agricultural station at Copper Center has clearly demon strated the feasibility of farming in the Copper river valley. There can be no reasonable excuse for any one objecting to the building of wagon road through the center of xlsska. Though the Alaska Gen. tral people undertook to knock it they were not justified in so doing. If their railroad should ever be- come a fact it will not enter into the same territory that we are so anxious to open.

]. REED CROWELL DEAD
Reports Are That His Death Was
Due To Alcoholism.

Colorado Springs April l9-Special
]. Reed Crowell, one of the most
prominent criminal lawyers of the
west died at st. Francis hospital at
three O'Clock yesterday. His death.
it is said, was due to alcoholism.
Editors note-Crowell was we'll
known in this city where he has ap-
peared in a number OF criminal cases.
He was man of almost taking per-
sonality, but almost totally without a
moral lever in his make up. Dissa-
pat ion undoubtedly caused his de ath.
He was without credit among the
members of the bar of this state and
disbarment proceedings We're pending
against him. He could have been,
had he so wilied, one of the leaders
in his profession in the west.

Bonds Voted.

The bonds for the building of the
proposed ditch by the Grand Valley
Irrigation district, were voted yester-
day, the vote cast being twenty-five
for and four against The four votes
against were cast in Fruita.
All that remains now before the
work ON this great enterprise can be
set under way is the selling of the
bonds and the board of directors have
every reason to believe that they can
place the bonds very shortly.
With the building of this ditch.
there will be placed uiader irrigation
a great body of the most productive
land in Colorado, capable of support
ing a great number of people and it is
the most important undertaking that
has 5een proposed in this valley in
years.
The board of directors are negotia-
ting with a number of eastern invest
ors and it looks ask il the bonds will
be placed shortly.
The land which will be irrigated
under the High Line canal is just as
productive and just as rich as any
other body of land in the Grand val
ley. 1t will raj SO just as fine fruit,
when cultivated and the area which is
comprehended within the boundary
lines of the district will in the very
near future comprehend some of the
most valuable lands of the valley.
1t is to be hoped that the bonds
will soon be placed and work begun
on this great undertaking.

"There is nothing new under the
sum- but had that ancient philoso-

of Grand Junction last evening dur
ing the hours of to 10 he would have
been convinced that there was some-
thing new in this city-The Family
Theatre was opened to the public last
night and it took we'll. Judging from
the immense audiences at the three
performances. The singing and spec-
ialty acts were we'll received and the
moving pictures of the show were fine
although the management had some
officially in getting the focus just
right at the start.
The Family Theatre has been open
ed uu in the new Reed building be-
tween 3rd and 4th streets by ,en-
tleman from Leadville, who is famil-
lar with the business and he promises
to give the public first class entertain
ments during the entire year At con-
siderable expense the theater has been
fitted up in neat and tasty manner.
with a small stage in the rear and the
dressing room in the basement, which
has also been converted into hand
some room.
This is another new enterprise that
has come to the city to stay ard with
a liberal patronage good plays will be
given every week with two changes of
program. The Family Theatre is an
other step toward city airs and city
ways.
Three performances will be given
again this evening.
