RICH YOUTH GETS COLD FEET
Son of James B. Duke Starts for
 Panama But Goes Back

\ son of James B. Duke, the million airc manufacturer of Dukes cigarettes and other tobacco compositions, came up on the Oregon with an outfit in- tending to mush through to the Panama but when he reached Valdez and was told that the first thing he would have to do after starting up the gulch from the town would be 10 skate across a glacier he stuck to the boat and came on to Seward, where he sold 800 outfit or blankets and cold weather clothes for half cost at the first store. Then he went back on the same boat to get nearer to the old mans cigarette plant.
 Young Nlr. Duke gave no account of himself further than to say that his imagination had evidently led him as.ray when it melted him to plan an overland hike through Alaska while the snow was on He wanted no more of it and he sold to the Seward Com mercial Company, the first store he struck when he walked off the bridge from the dock, handsome black bear robe composed of six skins and big enough to cover whole family, eX. pensive blankets, shoes and clothing which he will not need when he gets back to the effete east and devotes himself to the destruction of his dads cigarettes. He did not go farther up the street to see if anybody else would offer more.
 The cautious youth is a young man of ordinary appearance. He was we'll dressed and probably looked more natural in his civilized clothes than he would in mushing outfit. If he is a remittance man he took away enough coin to last him, with careful economy after reaching Seattle, until the next monthly installment is due.
 Meanwhile Alaska will have to struggle along the best it can without assistance from the Duke family other than the advantage it can derive from the consumption of that particular brand of cigarettes.

Steamship Makes Lone Trip

The big steamship Indianapolis ar- rived in Seattle a few days ago after ending voyage of l7,SO5 miles from Chicago. by way of the Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence river, the Atlantic ocean around the Horn to the Pacific and to Puget Sound and to Seattle. She stopped at New York for repairs and from that city made the trip to Seattle in ffty-one days and fourhours, a record trip. She burned fifteen tons of coal day on the voyage. The Puget Sound Navigation Company will put her on the Seattle-Victoria run.

BlG CROWD ON OREGON
Steamship Brings l37 Passengers
 and l75 Tons of Freight

Steamship Oregon, Capt. O'Brien arrived in port yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock with forty-one first class and ninety-six stcerage passengers, and f75 tons of freight. She sailed again for Seattle this afternoon at I2:3O talk ing a small number of passengers, and as usual will load ore at Ellamar Her local cargo was about 200 tons for mercantile houses and about 2I5 tons of commissary supplies for the railroad company. She left Seattle at noon February l3, and reached Seward in six days and six hours. the best time she has ever made to this port.
 Purser Triggs states that nearly l5O passengers for the Panama came to Valdez on the Oregon, many of them with large outfits. From other sources it is learned that the rush 10 the Tana- no is something fierce and exceeds that of last year two or three times over. Men wishing to go over the trail from Valdez must start within the next month and for that reason bookings or Panama passengers on all steamers are made so far ahead that it is difficult for persons wishing to reach any other port than Valdez to find berth if they wait until near the sailing date.
 The passenger list of the Oregon was as follows; Tama Mcdonald, Tom Constance. Fred Pearson, T. G. Me Cartney, Mrs. M. J. Wilson, Daisy Edmond, E. Nordyke, Mrs. G. Jordan, A. P. Jordan, D. Morris, w. Blue, E. L. Plum, Lee Blakemore, N. P. Davis, ChaS Hokinson, R. F. Kelly, P. H. Buck, J. H. Lawrence, w. Moran, J. Williams, F. G. Nicholson, P. H. OldS, Mrs. P. L. Olds, w.

MINERS GOING 10
 YFNTNA DISTRICT
Constant Movement of PrOSpeC. tors for New Gold Fields
 With Large Outfits

pv0,rpctorS are going into the Neu,na district in steady stream, 50 quietly that not many people are aware of the fact. About loo have left Sew ard within the last ten days, all well supplied with outfits for 8 summers campaign They usually go in small squad, and two OF three days of each week sees 30 party mount the train for the end of the track, from which point they trek over the trail to the land of promise.
 One party of aboutthwy men started for the interior a few days ago with fourteen big sledS loaded with supplies. Smaller parties have been going for month and no doubt is entertained that next month will see big rush as it will be necessary Co reach the district before the end of March because the brcak-up is due by that time.
 After the streams begin to run it will probably be two months before travel can be resumed. In the sum mer the Shusheua and the Ncntna are easily uavigablc but in April and May they are rushing torrents most of the time and generally full of floating ice dangerous Go boats. Beside, that, the frequent floods from the mountains caused by unusual warm periods over flow che banks of the Yenna making travel pcrilous OF impossible.
 The situation is well understood by men intending to go in and many are preparing Co start just in time to be ,ur. Co beat the spring thaw. The Neuug has been well advertised on the outside and the usual stampede to thc newest camp is expected from all directions. Several men came in on the Oregon to go to the district and to other regions of the interior.

SMALL BOATS CAN
 CROSS COOK INLET
Although the Stream Carries Ice SkiIful NaWigatOrS Are Going
 Over Constantly

Boats have been crossing Turn again Arm. from Sunrise to Glacier ior the past five day, A little ice is running. but there ,, no trouble OF danger for experienced boatmen. It is hardly possible that the Arm will close up again this season, and in all probability Upper Cook Inlet will be open for navigation within 9 week"
 This information in a letter from Judge Goodell of Sunrise confirms the report received q few days ago that small boats were already crossing the Inlet. Paymaster Frank Youngs of the Alaska Central returned from trip over the line to Glacier creek last night and brings the same report He made the trip easily from Seward in six days, the first time in three months he has made it in less than ] thirteen days He started from Sew ard the morning of February r and was at the end of the track waiting for the train at noon yesterday.
 Similar information is brought by Fred Haefs, the Sunrise mail carrier, who started the morning of February r and returned last night. He re- ports the trail in excellent condition. Men going to the interior may now travel the Sunrise trail from Johnson creek and cross the inlet to the north side of the Arm at Glacier creek, taking the railroad trail from the lat ter point. The distance is about the same and both trails are good. The rough work begins at Glacier creek.
 It is thought that continuance of the mild weather which has prevailed since late in January may start the ! breakup of the ice in the ShuShema and Yentna sooner than those interes- ted wish. Usually the ice remains firm until late in March or early in | April and many proSpectors are plan ming to go through over the ice in March. In the past two weeks symp- toms of thaw have been visible all along the railroad line and the trail to Turnagain Arm. On the north side of the Arm, where little snow re- mained in low places, it has almost disappeared. At the tunnel camps it thawed steadily for week until yes terday when the temperature dropped below the freezing mark. The snow has settled very hard.
 As usual in the spring the tides of the inlet carry ice up and down, some of the cakes being quite large, but there is always plenty of space be-. tween, and a skilful boatman can avoid them without difficulty.
