Notes From The Westward.

The crew of the Dora describe their last trip as one continuous ovation. She Is the only ship making regular trips to points west of Kodiak, and the people along the route have grown to consider her as part of each individual community.
 They had considered her lost and mourned he- crew as dead. As she suddenly steamed into port after port ,lse people gave every evidence of the sincerest feelings of joy at her return from the dead.
 Everyone was happy and con gratulations were showered on ev- eryone.
 Mr $. Baxter. of Spencer, Hib- bard & Co., Seattle, made the round trip on fur buying expe- dition.
 Mrs. Strom, of Apollo left on the last boat on her way to her old home in East Oakland. Cal. H. Moses, of Spokane, who was i one of the passengers on the Dora's long trip last winter, was again a passenger on the last trip. He re- mained in Unalaska for the pur- i pose of buying furs, and expects to return on the next boat.
 l.. L Bales, the well known Alas ka pioneer. who is now gathering material for museums. private col 1 ieetions, etc., went west on the last trip of the Dora. On the return trip ne was put off, with an ex- perienced hunter, at Stepovak bay, opposite Sand Point. His object is to secure for mounting several specimens of a huge kind of bear that inhabits that region. Espec- ially will he endeavor to obtain photographs oft he living animals
 Promising quartz properties have recently been located on Popoff island, near Sand Point.
 Rev. Father Alexine, who for 15 years has been missionary, three years at Unalaska and 12 at Bel koisky, is now on his way to Ju- neau to take up the work there. The genial old gentleman will be greatly missed by all who came in contact with him, as he is a gentle man of the old school, beloved by Russian, Native and American alike.

water into a barrel with a small
outlet. If the stream entering is
larger than the escape there will be
an overflow. There are two ways
to stop it-either make the outlet
larger or stop the stream coming in.
We have tried to make the outlet
larger, but the consignees of the
freight will not take their goods off
of the cars. Now we are going to
make the stream coming in smaller.
This congestion must come to an
end. The interests of the city de-
mand it and the consignees will be
forced to- take their freight If there
is any way to do it,"
Must Get Empty Cars.
The problem of getting empty cars
for the outgoing freight has induced
the officials of the different freight
lines to take immediate steps. For
all the shipments that are now going
east the roads of the Pacific coast
must furnish the cars. All the
available cars of the eastern roads
are busy with the crops. The de-
mand just at present is at its great
est, and the Southern Pacific Is in
crying need for empty cars for the
eastern shipments. The cars con-
tanning lumber alone waiting to be
unloaded in the city amount to over
1000.
The Southern Pacific and, the
other roads have used every appeal
to get the consignees to unload their
freight. and there is no result.
Measures will now be taken that will
affect the entire city. The cars
must be unloaded or no more cars
will be sent to San Francisco.

city at once but on no account to
send loaded cars. The fruit season
is in full swing and other commodi-
ties from all parts of the state to be
sent east and there are no cars.
They are all tied up loaded with
freight, waiting to get into the city
and be unloaded. The consignee of
the freight refuse to receive 1t and
there does not seem to be any ap-
parent solution of the problem. The
railroad officials. led by julius
Kruttschnitt and E. E. Calvin, are
devoting all their time. to the situa-
tion and are using all the means in
their power to get the cars now idle
unloaded and in commission. I'm
less there is action on the part OF
the consignees the entire commercial
life of the city will be in grave peril
There will neither be shipments out
nor shipments in; lumber meant for
the city will go east supplies for
the new buildings will not be sent;
California fruit will not go east,
for there will be no empty cars at
the disposal of the road.
The situation has been becoming
aggravated ever since the fire. I'm
mediatey after the fire there was
jam of freight in the yards and the
officials of the roads thought that
in a few weeks the consignees or
the freight would be ready to take
it, and charged no demurEage. In
stead of unloading the cars waiting
full of freight, the merchants of the
city ordered more carloads OF freight
from the east, and this in turn arriv-
ed to add to the confusion. The
grew so great that 1t was
decided a few weeks ago TO charge
a demurrage of 81 a day on each
car that came into the city prior to
June 18th. This had no effect and
the lam only increased as the weeks
went by until now there is the situ-
alton of the greatest peril, which
threatens to result in the isolation OF
San Francisco commercially from the
rest of the country. J
Decrease in Lumber Supply.
One of the effects that will be felt
the most in the decrease in the lum-
ber supply. 1t is most essential Tor
the prosperity and upbuilding OF the
city that there is maintained
