ARRIVES
 AND SAILS AGAIN

Steamer Excelsior, Capt. Hartman reached Seward Thursday afternoon at $50, ending the hardest trip any vessel has made between Se- attle and this port the present winter. She lacked but three hours of occupying sixteen days on the voyage, whereas the Santa Ana a month before on the same run came through in nine days.
 The Excelsior brought twenty-three frst-class and fourteen steerage pas sengers to Seward. She had only eighth-fye tons of freight cargo for this port. This she discharged in a few hours and sailed for the south ward at l2:3O Friday morning.
 After leaving Sitka the Excelsior rode seas the like of which are seldom seen in the North Pacific. She was tossed, almost helplessly, by wind and at times made no progress at all. She hoisted a sail and the gale wrenched it away. She occupied more than seven days on the trip from Sitka to Valdez, which is in the open ocean nearly all the way, although in fair weather she makes it in less than half the time. She had fourteen horses aboard for nc Alaska Central, and four of the,, d. off Yakutat.

CANDLE FISH BEGIN TO RUN
Shoals of Them Crowd the Streams and are Largely Caught

Streams and are LarSSly OauSnL
 Candle fish are beginning to run in the creeks in shoals and they can eaSi- Iy be captured by the barrel. A small seine will easily scoop up bushel or two at every dip and it is said that at times they are so thick that a spear can be stuck into the waterand several fish taken in just as neatly as fork can be run into a dish of pickles and several of the pickles impaled.
 Candle fish are 50 named because they are so oily that a wick can be drawn through dried one and the corpse will burn as candle. Except for their oiliuess the fish have a fine Aavoraud many people are very fond of them, but too many cannot be eaten at one sitting because of the excess of oil.
 These fish are peculiar to the Pacific coast. They also bear the nickname of "Hooligans." They are allied to the smelt family and multiply and swarm almost equal to herring. They are found a}l along the Pacific coast as far down as Oregon. In summer their habitat is in the sea but in the winter they run up the streams and in the spring spawn there.

A MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.
Whereabouts Of John Mfnigan.. n
Timber Cutter. since Monday Morn
ing. arc Shrouded In Mystery.

John nifligan, a timber cutter. IN
ployed on the Noble lands In East
Wilmington. mysteriously disappeared
last Monday morning and up 10 the
present time there has been no clue
rs 30 his whereabouts, or TO the cause
o. his disappearance. though search
has been instituted. and some of his
friends fear he has been the victim OF
foul play.
Mr.. MilLgan lived in the city. with
his family. nea Third and Dawson
and he started out from home. as was
usual with him, early in the morning
TO go out TO East Wilmington for the
days work. He had his dinner basket
with him He went through the down
town streets to transact some business
and started out 10 the Noble place. The
last time he was seen, IS far as Is
now known. was when near the pole
yard. which Is on the route generally
taken by~h;m . East Wilmington. II
is considered possible that he may have
fallen through the trestle over Smiths
creek. or that he began work ana Il
tree fell on him. killing him, or that
some fonI play has been dealt him.
The strongest grounds for the iattzr
belief are based on the fact that about
a year ago Mr., Milligan was attacked
by negroes. knocked on the head, rob
bed and left for dead. He recovered,
however. from that assault and it is
thought possible that the same as
sailangs have made another and likely
successful attempt to do away with the
man.
Mr.. Mulligan is about 30 years OF ag5
| and he has = wife and several children
Friends have sought to find on II
