and many of them also carry spars and
spread areas of canvas which suggest
yachting rather than practical pursuits.
Moreover, their captains pay homage to
speed, and in their goings and comings vie
with each other in effort to get every frac-
ton of knot per hour out of their flying
craft. These hardy sailors have been
known to carry on" during moments OF
ambition to achieve certain desired ends,
in a way that would make the hearts of
the most daring yachtsmen thrill with
pride.
The fishing fleet is now the only field In
which the improvements wrought by effort

other emergencies. and many of the smaller
craft, even the big shore boats of the SEM
ers. are provided with gasoline engines.
Power boats have supplanted the sailing
boats of the lake fishing fleets but they
have not thus far aroused such popularity
among the fishermen Of the ocean, who
have resolutely chung to their feet schoon-
ers. and who seem to believe that sailing
vessels are more trustworthy for the haz-
ardous fishing of the various banks. There

OF fishermen who operate sailing craft Is

WORK ACTIVE
 ON KAHILTNA RIVER
Il. p. Gallagher Writes That Water Has Receded and lien Are Busy
 on All Creeks.

Active work on the Kahiltna river is reported in letter to the Gateway from II. P. Gallagher who is conduct ing a store and roadhouse on the river about a mile above it's confluence with the Yentna. He writes that the water has gone down rapidly since the mid dle of July. He says:
 High water occurred July l3 this year. The Yentna at this point is now five feet lower than high water mark and still falling. The Kahiltna river is at the lowest water mark so far this season. The weather has been warm with frequent rains in the last few days. There are two parties working the bars of the Kahiltna, between here and Peters creek and making a good showing.
 "A. R. Ryan of Kenai came down the Kahiltna on the 18th. He is quite enthusiastic over what he has seen on the creeks. NIr. Ryan says the boys are 5usuy sluicing and the prospects look bright for a generous output of the yellow metal this season.
 "The steamer Caswell made her sixth trip up the Yentna on the 23rd. She landed the N. E. Davis outfit at this point. With the outfit are six men and a Keystone steam churn drill. Already the drill is in operation. it Is the purpose to drill every thousand feet. commencing at the mouth of the Kahllna and extending four miles along the right limit of that stream, returning along the left limit. repeat- ing the same operation. This .3m mile, of placer ground was located a year ago."

EASIER WORK
 ON RAILROAD
Continued from page D

make road-bcd on that part of the line it will be necessary to haul gravel and it is doubtful whether the work can be finished before the gravel beds freeze and snow covers the whole re- zion. If the work can be pushed for ward so as to finish the grade to about mile 62 before ice and snow come to stay construction can proceed all win ter with as many men as the contrac- tor k able to secure OF wishes to work. From 62 to Campbell Point, on mile lO5. the grade will be nearly all on gravelly side-hills with frequent rock cuts where work can be carried on aI- most as easily in winter as in summer.
 In the swamp land along the lower Placer river are occasional lagoons which have to be crossed by piles. All these piles are driven. Some of the viaducts are several hundred feet long. Piles for bridges across the streams from Portage glacier and other creeks are also driven, 50 that nothing remains of the bridge work but decking ror the track.
 Beyond East Portage on mile 65, which is crossed by 9o0-foot yjaduct, the line runs through a level stretch like a prairie, where four miles of dirt grade are ready for the rails. Be- yJnd e is rrcsue G6OO feet long, be- tween high and low tide. Then the line follows the hills just above high tide nearly all the way 10 Campbell Point. Much grading there is already done and the remaining task is not so difficult as is generally supposed.
 The work along Twnagain Arm from mile GS to lO5 will be very sim liar to that along Kcnai and Trail lakes. To make the grade the sloping hills will be cut away, following the winding shore line. In places head land projects it's rocky height to low tide or beyond and costly rock cut will have to be made, but these cuts will scarcely exceed one or two to the mile and will usually be short.
 Mir. Laberee stated today that POO more men had been wired for by Mir | Welch to be sent by the first boat sailing from Seattle if they could be obtained.

s. W. Wall, one of the best known newspaper men of the northwest, came to Seward on the Santa Clara to look around. He is making a tour of the southern coast. Nlr. Wall went into the Klondike in 1897 and was editor of the Dawson News for several years. From there he went to Tacoma to be- come city editor of the Ledger, and then to Washington, D.

MURDER ON
 VALDEZ LINE
Foreman John Bailey Deliberately Shoots and Kills Bob
 Mcintosh.

John Bailey, foreman for Col Swan itz, shot and mortalIy wounded Bob Mcintosh, a sub-forcman, with a 3Ox3O Winchester on Col Swanitz' railroad grade, at Low river, sixteen miles from Valdez, August 9, and is now in jail at Valdez awaiting trial under an indictment in the U. $. district court charging him with murder in the first degree. The fatal shot was fired at a distance of only few feet and pene- rated the victims neck, death resul- ting in a few minutes.
 Bailey had been drunk the night be- fore the murder but was sober when he fired the shot, an act which from the account brought to Seward by w. F. BouSchor, a travelling man, appears to have been deliberate. Associates on the railroad say it was due to jeal- ousy of Mcintosh on Bailey's part. The latter was regarded as incom- petent by the men, with whom McIn- tosh was popular, and it is supposed that Bailey hated his subordinate be- cause he feared the latter might get his place.
 The evening the killing took place Bailey went into the commiSsary and ordered the "bull cook, !" or nunky, to give him revolver. He also con- pelled the nunky to give him some cartridges under a threat to assault him. Then Bailey saw the Winches- ter in a canvas sack and proceeded to cut off the sack and walk away with the Winchester. Just outside he met Tfmekeeper Shattuck, whom he also disliked. He demanded of the time keeper:
 "Shattuck, do you value your life"
 Shattuck was paralyzed with aston ishment and made no answer. Bailey continued:
 If you do get to hell out of here as quick as God will let you"
 Shattuck turned and entered the house. went on through and started to run out of the other end. At the same time Bailey walked around on the out side. The hunky saw him and ran after Shattuck, pulling him back in- doors as Bailey appeared around the corner of the house. Bailey then went to another building, where Mcintosh was and called the latter out. As Mcintosh stepped out of the door Bailey fired and the ball cut through the victims neck, inaicting a fatal wound.
 A young man named Ford grabbed Bailey from behind, threw him to the ground and disarmcd him. He was taken 10 Valdez and placed in jail and the grand jury indicted him as soon as the coroner's inquest over Mcintosh was held. Bailey is 37 years old and has a l5-year old boy in the states.
