SENATOR PILES ON ALASKA
Gives Washington Post Large Stock
 of Information.

Senator Piles of Washington, who is one of the most active Alaska promo ters in congress, recently backed Washington Post reporter into cor ner and filled him up with a column interview which told the readers of that paper more than most of them had dreamed of about the territory. Among other facts the senator gave the following:
 'There is nothing surprising in the fact that relatively few of our people even remotely begin to appreciate what a wonderland Alaska is. With out considering the question of gold production, which we all know has passed the hundred-million mark, most of Us give start of surprise when we are told that in summer Alaska is lit- orally land of flowers: that one por- ton, where even now wild grass grows seven feet high, is destined to be stock-raising region: that another section will grow wheat; that almost anywhere fruit and vegetables can be grown in amazing profusion, and that some of these days agricultural Alaska will support in comfort and happiness as many million people as now live in our Pacific coast states.
 Truth is, Alaska is the only re- maining portion of our once vast pub lie domain: it is the only section now left where a man can find a free home: it affords even a greater oppor- tunity than did the West of my boy hood for a poor man to go West and grow up with the country its fertile interior beckOns to the pioneer with ax and rifle, and the day is coming when those productive plains and val l leys will be settled by a hardy and prosperous set of people,"

EVENING
 CELEBRATION
Seward Gives Fitting Recognition of Return of the Nations
 Birthday.

Stewards indoor Fourth of July cele- bration Wednesday was pronounced success by the large crowd which filled NIoore's hall. This verdict applied alike to the musical and oratorical program and to the dance which fol- lowed and continued far into the fifth of the month. With rare good judg- ment the committee in charge made the program short. It occupied little more than an hour and every feature commanded attentive interest, its variety preventing its becoming a drag even for moment.
 Cecil II. Clegg delivered short ad- dress in which he glorihed the nation and Alaska, making glowing predic- tions of the future of the territory. He advocated municipal incorporation for Seward because it would double the school fund of the town under the pro- visions of the law governing the terri tory. He also urged that the anni- versary of the formal transfer of Alaska from Russia to the United States. which was made October lS, 1867. be celebrated annually in the territory. This moved Rev. T.. II. Pedersen to introduce a resolution to that effect which was adopted unani- r,,rsTy and enthusiastically, as fol- lows:
 Resolved: lst-That it is the sense of this meeting that October 18th, the day of the year when the formal trans fer of Alaska was made by Russia to the United States, be a legal holiday in Alaska.
 2ud-That the said holiday be ob- served by appropriate exercises where ever practicable.
 Fourth of July in Alaska seems to be much the same as the day elsewhere under the Stars and Stripes. Low temperature and leaden skies in Seward failed to check the patriotism, OF at least to diminish the holiday spirit of the residents, and everybody sought the customary Independence Day diversions
 Although frecrackers were not in ! evidence because the merchants failed to import any, in obedience to a gen. eraI request of the adult population, of which notice was not given to the small boys, still a sturdy effort was made in the morning by those persons whose patriotism is of the turbulent description, with anvils and giant caps to give a noisy greeting to the day.
 Flags and bunting on all stores and many residences attested that wherever ! American men and women are to be found the banner of the worlds great i est republic will Haunt on the country's natal day, but otherwise the streets were quiet because a majority of the population went out on the excursion train to the lakes.

Thaw Denies Insanity

New York, July 2-Harry Thaw in- sists that he is not insane and wants to base his defense for the killing of White upon the unwritten law that a man has right to slay the destroyer of his home. His attorney, EX-Gov. Black, refuses to permit any other de- fense than that of emotional insanity. The prosecution is trying to get Mrs. Thaw. otherwise known as Evelyn Nesbit. the actress, 10 testify against her husband, but she declares that she will stand upon her legal right to re- fuse to testify.

Rain Stops Forest Fire

Rain Sunday night stopped the forest fire along the Johnson creek trail which had been burning for several days. l.. G. Jackson telephoned in to the Gateway Monday that the fire had devastated probably two square miles, or nearly that, and con- sumed large quantity of valuable standing timber. This fire did not start from engine sparks as was at first supposed, but up the mountain side from a prospectors' camp fire, and burned down hill toward the railroad.

Seattle, July 2-The longshoremen's union of Puget Sound passed resolu- tion yesterday forbidding its members to work on ships which employ Japan csc and Chinese in place of union sail ors. The resolution is aimed at the Pacific Coast Steamship Company. h. dians are not tabooed.
 It is believed that the action of the Iongshoremen's union will have an i'm portant influence on the sailors strike as it will embarrasS the Pacific Coast Company considerably in the loading and discharging of cargoeS. The com- pany employees Orientals on several of it's vessels.

USE WEAPONS OF WAR
 TO SETTLE BUSINESS

Seldoyia, June 29-COrrespondence of the Gateway-A speedy settlement of the business affairs of the coal oil steamer Yentna was effected here by knife and gun play between Charles Corser and Robert Hawes the owners, who have been operating the boat on the upper Yentna river,
 The "pardners chased each other up and down the beach until they became tired without inllicting any permanent physical damage. Then they conducted negotiations on a more peaceable basis with the result that Corser bought out the interest of Hawes, and the latter will sail for Seattle on the Santa Ana.
