failure of legislation Of the last year

ure recommended in the bill and

had been refused by the committee.

Order Filed in Seattle by Alaska Central for l5O on Each
 Outside Boat.
WORK PROGRESSING RAPIDLY
Tunnels Will Be Completed by Sep tember and Track Laid Through
 Them Soon After.

Every steamer sailing from Seattle for Seward hereafter will bring aS many railroad laborers as can be picked up there. Instructions have been given to the Alaska Central 's agents on the Sound to send l5O men if possible on each of the steamers (. the Northwestern Steamship Com pany, which from July is to seno four outside steamers a month to thi- port. The Oregon, due here tomor- row, has nearly loo men for the rail road.
 Work on the tunnels, trestles anJ grading from the end of the track to Placer valley is proceeding rapidly. A little track laying has been donn this week and the rails will be pushc. slowly ahead until they are laid clos. to the south portal of tunnel No. !, on mile 4g. early in August. The tmue. will be bored by September J and tn. track will be laid through lr 8 few days later. It is expected that 'h- trcstle, Of the loop will be complete. very soon after the first tunnel.

FREIGHT
 TRAFFIC GROWS
Mosquito Fleet Has Carried Mere Than 2O0O Tons so Far
 This Season.

Freight traffic on Cook inlet this season has exceeded all precedent. Capt. Blodgett, now in Seward with the steamer Toledo, says that the three boats of the mosquito fleet on the Inlet have carried more than 2O0O tons from Seldoyia to the upper ports since navigation opened early in April. This included the supplies for the Alaska Commercial Company's stores, Palmer and Herninga at Knik, Tyoonok, Susitna Station, and other supply points. Several hundred tons were taken up for the Crow Creek Mining Company, $. W. Wible and James Girdwood for their hydraulic opera tionS on Turnagain Arm.
 Capt Blodgett believes that the en- trance of the railroad to the region along the arms of the Inlet and the Susitna valley will greatly increase the steamer traffic on the Inlet and that the number of vessels engaged will soon be doubled and trebled. That the railroad will reach some points now accessible only by boat he comedies, but the influx of population which will follow the building of the railroad will enormously increase the freight traffic to the interior and much of it can be handled more cheap ly and advantageously by the Inlet and river boats than by the railroad.
 Hereafter freight can be transferred ar Seldovia much more easily than in the past, because of the erection of Herbert's wharf. This is nearly com plete and small steamers can land be- side it now. It will be 5000 feet long from the shore and will have T at the outer end where ocean steamers can dock. It has a warehouse POO feet long and Capt. Blodgett says it is first class dock in every respect. Heretofore freight from ocean steamers has been Hghtered to the beach.
 An interesting feature of this dock is that the piles have been driven by Siwash power. About fifteen natives pull up the hammer by means of long rope. They do not bring results quite as fast as a steam pile driver but the hammer drops with the same force and precision.

GET MULES OUT OF TUNNEL
Animals Used to Draw Cars in Big
 Bore StabIed There.

The mules which helped to bore tun- nel 3, on mile 53, of the railroad and were interned there for a short time after the boring was complete, have been released from their underground stable. They were used to draw the cars while boring was in progress, and for short time afterward were kept there because they could not be taken out. The path to the tunnel was operated on this week at the place where it was impossible to animals lacking prehensile clutch and the mules were led out. Two of them will be used in tunnel :.
 The path to the tunnel last winter was very steep and slippery and men had to hold a rope fastened to posts when they traversed it. To get the mules down the animals were thrown and their feet tied together and then they were slid down like dead weights, strong ropes being snubbed around posts to hold them.

KNOWS ABOUT ALASKA
Congressman Reynolds Tells the
 House of the Territory.

Congressman John M. Reynolds, formerly assistant secretary of the in- terior, in speech on Alaska recently made in the house gave few pointers to the down east members about the great northwest territory. After describing the vast natural resources of Alaska Mr. Reynolds said:
 'Thus far we have represented Alaska on her material side, with her wealth in gold, silver, coal and copper; in her forests of profitable timber; in the returns from her fur-bearing anil mals of sea and woods, and from her fisheries of salmon and whale, cod and halibut; and with her fertile valleys adapted to homes for millions of free men. But Alaska is more. She is the home of as energetic, courageous, honorable and liberty-loving band of pioneers as ever became the pillars of the state."
