 MEN AT WORK
Martin Welch Says His Company Will Employ Big Force on
 Turnagain Arm

Two thousand men will be employed an next summer upon the rock work on the north side of Tmnagain Arm for which r. Welch & Co, hold the contract This contract covers thirty miles and extends from mile 75 to mile IO5. Some preliminary work has been done upon it this winter and with the opening of navigation on Cook Inlet in the spring, which will enable the con uracting company 10 take in supplies in unlimited quantities, the work will start on a large scale.
 Martin Welch, who has charge of the work, returned to Seward on the santa Clara, after a short visit to Seattle Co consult with his associates. He went down on the Oregon just be- fore Christmas and was in Seattle ten days. He reports that he thinks there will be no difficulty about getting the 2O0O men wanted to rush the work all through the summer.
 I've have a large number of men who have been employed upon other contracts. and who can be released there to be placed upon the Turnagain Arm contract" said Mir. Welch this week. "I believe we canrun the force up to the number required very early in the spring. We do not want them there until we can get supplies to the ground through the inlet. It isutterly mprac,icauy, as anyone familiar with the situation can understand, to take ,uppIig, 10 Turuagain Arm except on inlet steamers. Just as soon aS inlet boat, begin running again We willruSh iu supplies and have the men follow. We will work along the entire distance covered by the contract until the job is done"

TO TRADE WITH
 ENTIRE COAST

Seattle, Jan. I7-Maj. John E. Bal laine in an interview published today says that the Alaska Central Railway will reach out for business to all coast cities; that it is not being built for the benefit of Seattle but for the region it will traverse, and that its outside trade will go where the company and Alas ka can reap the most advantage.
 This statement was made in refuta- tion of the charge which has been made in the newspapers of other cities, particularly Portland, that the Alaska Central and the town of Seward are the proteges of Seattle and all their business will be controlled by this city.

 RECORD VOYAGE

Seattle, Jan. lG-SteamShip Oregon arrived yesterday afternoon from the north, having made the run from Ella mar in four days and one hour. This is a record run from that port to Seat tie for any vessel. It was the third trip of the Oregon.
 The Oregon sailed from Seward Jan uary at l:3O a. m. She did not get away from Elamar until the afternoon of January II, owing to various delays, one of which was caused by striking sa reef. A careful examination of her was made by the ships officers before she understook to load ore but no wis ible damage had resulted aud she pro- ceeded on her way.

FayOrs Change in Assessment

Washington, D. C., Jan. lS-The House committe on public lands today voted 10 make a favorable report on the bill of Congressman Lacey to Sub- stitute an annual assessment of S25 for the SlOO annual assessment work upon each located mining claim in Alaska and to apply the fnnd derived from such assessments to the construc- tion of roads in the territory.
 This measure was favored in the memorial adopted by the recent Alaska convention in Seattle and as it is to be made applicable to Alaska alone it will probably pass, although some op- position from the territory has de- veloped.

FAXES UP CASE
 OF GOV. BRADY
President Urged to Name Success SOr and Dick Ryan Boosts
 for w I Perkins
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

Washington, D. C., Jan. l7-Tno President is now considering the case of Gov. Brady of Alaska. A general belief prevails here that Brady will be asked to resign if he is not summarily removed.
 This morning a committee composed of Senators Piles, Allison and Lodge, accompanied by Richard S. Ryan and Ex-Governor Swineford, two Of tho Alaska delegates elected by the Seattle convention, called on the President to discuss Alaskan affairs. Ryan is the moving spirit in agitating the guberna- torial matter. He asked that resident of Alaska be appointed tO succeed Brady and strongly recom- mended w. T. Perkins of Nome The President listened to the delegation al length but did not commit himself. Perkins is here and during the White House conference was ciosetcd with Secretary Shaw of the treasury depart ment.
 W. B. Hoggatt of Juneau is the only candidate for the governorship besides Perkins. He is strongly indorscd and is considered a formidable factor.
 Perkins May Become Governor
 Washington, D. C., Jan. l9 The Alaska delegation now in the city be- lieve that ". r. Perkins is likely Co land the governorship of the territory in case Brady vacates, and that iS thought to be probable.
 The main obstacle to Perkins success is that Secretary Hitchcock or the iu- lerior department is opposed To him. Hoggalt'S campaign is not being pushed vigorously. Perkins is here managiuF his own canvass.

 Secretary Taft is expected to join with Gen. Greedy in disapprOval of the project and the lease is not likely to be made. Much opposition to it has de- veloped from Alaska and from Seattle, which does great deal of business over the lines.

ALASKA FARMING RESOURCES
Secretary of Interior Reports on
 Results of Experiments

The agricultural resources of Alaska are gradually receiving recognition. In bis annual report Secretary Hitch cock of the interior department says:
 That agriculture can be success fully prosecuted has been clearly demonstrated, S5, 237 worth of agricul- tural implements having been shipped into Alaska during the last fiscal year. Wheat, barley, oats, potatoes, and hay have been harvested; strawberries, cauliHOwer, and other plants have been cultivated. There are four agri- cultural experiment. stations in the district; one at Sitka, given largely to the cultivation of nursery plants and their distribution; one at Kenai, on Cooks Inlet, testing the native and i'm ported grasses and dairy work, and one each at Copper Center and at Ram part, on the Yukon river, where grains are tested Dairying promises to be one of the chief industries, owing to the enormous wealth of grasses in southwestern Alaska. Mich cows have long been kept at most of the coast settlements, and they do very we'll while feeding on the green grasses. Many admirable sites for dairying colonies or settlements may be had on Kodiak island, or other islands, and on the mainland. The Finnish colony on the Kenai peninsula will engage itself in this industry"

CUSTOMS OFFICIALS GET GAY
Canadian Agents on White Pass
 Line Annoy Travellers

Travellers over the White Pass road complain frequently of petty annoy ances which they claim are imposed upon them at the international bound ary by Canadian customs officials, and it is asserted that this dissatisfaction is likely to lose the White Pass some business. The Skagway Alaskan says:
 "The complaints of people crossing the line from Alaska to Canada over the White Pass because of the petti- ness of the policy pursued by the Can adian customs officer at the summit are becoming numerous. Some peo- pie go so far as to say they will not go into the interior this way any more, but that they will go overland from Valdez or Seward or up the Yukon.
 "The Canadian customs officer at the Summit is named John Moot, but it is claimed in his behalf that he is P following the directions of his e for, Collector E. S. Busby.
 Yukon, who has told him, it
 collect duty upon absolutel. thing, no matter what it is, taken across the line.
 "This order has been construed Mir. Moot to include a sandwich lunc- a man might have in his overcoat pocket. One faithful, hard-working miner who has devoted six or seven years to the development of mine in Canada, was assessed for the tariff duty on a pair of shoes which he had on his feet which still gave some evidence of being new"

ATTACK
 ON WECKERSHAM
Senator Nelson Does Not Want Alaska Judge to Appear
 Before Committee
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.


 Washington, D. C., Jan. l9-Senator Nelson of Minnesota is leading bitter war against the confirmation of Judge Wickersham of Alaska for another term. He objected to calling Judge WickerSham to appear in person be- fore the subcommittee which has charge of the case. This action has aroused some feeling among other members of the Senate.
 The subcommittee of the Senate judiciary committee, appointed to in- vestigate the Wickersham case, met this morning to take up the subject. Senator Nelson is chairman of the sub committee and Senators Carter and Pettus are the other two members. Pettus is opposed to Wickersham.
 Today at the opening session Nelson presented charts which had been draft ed to show that WickerSham owns a lot in Fairbanks upon which saloons are located which have open gambling in their rooms.
 Nelson was formerly friendly 10 Wickersham but he claims that Wick ersham opposed the division of the Third judicial district after having recommended it. This Judge Wicker sham denies, saying that what he did was to state in answer to question before the House judiciary committee that one judge could try all the cases but the district should be divided be- cause of it's vast territorial extent.
 Confirmation Thought Probable
 WashinGton, D. C., Jan. l5-The Senate committee on judiciary will ask the attorney-general to allow Judge Wickersham O Alaska to come to the capital to appear before the sub-com- mittee appointed to investigate the charges against him. The request will undoubtedly be granted,
 The general belief is that Judge Wickersham will be confirmed for another term after severe quizzing. The opposition to him is not considered formidable enough to defeat his con iirmation unless some of the charges are made to stick.

JELLIFER
STOPPED SMOKING.
BY KENNETH HARRIS.

Jellifer was not in SO many words
given his choice between the wee
little whimpering love and the green
god Nick O'Teen," because the girl
wsan't that sort of a girl. h would
have let him smoke himself black in
the face and her love would not have
whimpered-not just then, at any rate
though the odor of the weed was a
deadly offense to her delicate nostrlls.
No, there was never a word said about
conditions, but she was a truthful
young woman withal, and when she
was asked about it she admitted that
it was disagreeable to her. But If you
sit a little way off and on the other
side of me where it won't blow INTO
my face / shan't mind it in the least,
she added.
But Jellifer was not the man to ac-
cent any sacrifice like that at the
hands of the he loved. He was
disappointed, certainly, for he was a
slave to the habit, and in his imagin-
ings OF the domestic life to be his
pipes had figured to a certain extent.
The home atmosphere of his dreams
was always a little bit hazy. 1t was
a beautiful collection of pipes, that OF
Jellifer's, too, but he hardly hesitated
He called in his particular friends and
within a week every stumpy clay, we'll
Drowned meerschaum, amber-tipped
brier, long-stemmed Saxony porcelain
and blackened corncob was distribut-
ed. The tobacco jar he kept as a
relic.
Shut right up. A man knows what
that means. A woman doesn't and it's
quite likely that Jellifer's girl didn't.
That made it all the harder, too. Still,
she seemed appreciative and the young
man felt repaid. In course of time
thew were married and if Jellifer
missed anything he most assuredly
didn't show it. If Mrs. Jellifer had
any fault to find with her husband she
certainly took nobody into her conf
dence. Talk about your turtle doves!
It was predicted that within a year
Jellifer would be furnishing a den
where he could sit by himself and
smoke to his hearts content. Such
things have happened, of course, and
the smoking has gradually extended
SO that eventually the lady would
have to fix up a little room of her own
where she could sit and not have to
breathe a lot of stale tobacco smoke
But nothing of the sort happened in
this instance. A nursery started, but
no den.
OF course Jellifer became a bore ant
a braggart. He would tell all the ole
crowd what idiots they were, running
their constitutions and muddling theil
intellects by their persistence in the
unclean vice of smoking. He would
glory in his own improved health tc
an extent that was absolutely sicken-
ing and boast Of the ease with which
he burst the letters of habit.
There was no compulsion about It
