LOST $4,000 A MONTH.

Colonel Alden j. Blethen candidly
admits, in announcing the suspension
of the Morning Times, that Seattle is
not large enough to support two morn
ing newspapers. Colonel Blethen con-
fesses loss of $4,000 a month for
eight months in his attempt to estab-
lish the Times as morning paper.
This heavy loss is all the more sig
nifcant from the fact, as Colonel
hlethen points out, that the Morning
Times was printed from the big and
we'll established plant of the Evening
Times and was, therefore, under no
charge for plant or rent. Mr.. Bleth-
en- 8 failure to establish second morn
ing paper in Seattle is also interesting
since he has made brilliant success
of the Evening Times. Mr.. Blethen,
who is one of the most experienced and
vigorous newspaper publishers in the
United States, acquired the Evening
Times IL years ago, when it was a
wrecked property, running under
heavy loss, and carried it through a
period of hard times by the closest and
most efficient management.
The truth is, the business of publish
ing morning newspapers has been re-
volutionized within the last l5 or 20
years. A quarter of century age
San Francisco had only four-page
morning paper. Now the people OF
Spokane. Portland, Seattle and Ia
coma demand and received from 12 tC
20 pages daily and from 40 to 20 pages
on Sunday morning. If they were
content with the old-tlme four-pag,
morning daily. there would be room
in all these cities for two or three
morning newspapers. As it is, every
attempt to establish two morning pa
pers of modern size has been ill-starreC
with failure, even in cities as large al
st. Paul aud Seattle.

CLOSE CALL FOR ROGERS

Frank Rogers, teamster, narrowly escaped incineration last Sunday night.
 He occupied a cabin in front of Smith X Burruss's barn. Some men passing about o'clock noticed smoke issuing from the cabin and rushed in and found Rogers in drunken stupor with his clothing afire and the cabin almost ready to burst into flame. The man was dragged out into the snow and the fire extinguished.
 Several tons of loose hay is stacked in the barnyard and had not the fire been discovered in time the cabin, the hay and the barn would have burned and Rogers with them.

Following the terrific gale of the night of Sunday, Jan. 13, a distinct shock of earth quake covering a large area was felt on the night of Mon day, the 14th.
 At Rampant the disturb ance was so slight that it's true nature was in doubt at the time; but at places not far distant the vibration was more marked, and in some instances caused considera- ble alarm.
 4 On Little Minook, Slate, at "72," and at other places on this side of the divide a noise resembling thunder said by some to be exactly like that coming from a dis tant snowslide---immediately preceded the shock.
 Across the divide the shock was quite as heavy as on this side, and some cabins are said to be left out of plumb.
 Mail Carrier Ed Bieder- man was at Fish Creek on the Yukon, and the shock was plainly felt there and a loud hissing noise was heard.

Ramparters to Go.

Louis Seyler is in from Little Minook and expects ,o go to the Chandlar pret ty soon. Jack Radigan may go with him.
 Several others will go before the snow melts fl the news from the diggings is favorable.
Yukon Valley news., 1907-01-23

A rumor that considerable damage was done at Panama was unfounded. The shock appears to have been heavier there than in this vicinity, but no further damage than wrenching of doors and walls occurred. At Bybee S place billiard cues fell from the racks.
 The news from St. Michael is indefinite. A tidal wave, probably caused by the wind, came in Sunday and was fol- lowed by the quake Monday. The wireless station was put out of commission and some of the wire line destroyed. Docks and other property are damaged. A report that the ''canal' at the back of the island had been filled with debris is unconfrmed.
 Joe Minard, the mail car rier between Rampant and Fort Hamlin, heard nothing of an earthquake.
 Telegraph communication was established with St. Mi chael today. The line to Fairbanks is still down be- tween Tolovana and Nenana.

Bob Schaber to Dr.. Carter.

Caro, Alaska, Jan. :, 1907. Dr. C. D. Carter, Rampant:
 Dear Sir: Well, old chap, am To- cated in the new town Got a good lot on Front street. Getting out logs and will soon be ready for biz. Have staked a couple of claims-one for you and one for myself. Things are not looking quite as bright as they might, but you know how it is with these new camps one day everything is booming and the next she goes up in a cloud of smoke. They are having good deal of trouble with water just now, and good many are getting bit discouraged; but think everything will come out o. K. Manual Guilarte, of Circle, is stopping with me tonight. He has just come down from Big creek, where he has bought some interests, and he thinks pretty well of what he has seen up there.
 After get what logs I need I will take good look over the camps and then will be more able to tell you what l think of the country. Thought best to get a couple of good lots and get in the logs while they are handy, as they will be cut pretty fast once the gang gets in. We'll, if the camp makes good we have good chance. Am putting in some good licks-up every morning and me to the tall trees, with the big ax hewing to the line, let the the chips fall, etc, etc.
 Curly Munroe is here from Dawson and is going to build.
 Jim Funcheon came in few days ago and went up on East Fork, where he has been before and found a prospect think l will put on the snowshoes and trail him up.
 l will write you good long letter when I have looked the camp over.
 am yours truly, etc,

 Dec l, l9O6 Jules Marion, Fort Yukon:
 Dear Sir: In compliance with your request, 1 now proceed to report you what 1 can on this part of the moral vineyard. Everything is staked from hell to breakfast and across to dinner. 1 got in on S7 below, where there are some fine hills of gravel and possible chance, where I have also located you. She may be rich as 1 have been up to discovery on Big creek. Water is driving most of the boys out up there, as we'll as below. A great many are trying to get down and some of them undoubtedly will, as number are trying on the benches and bends of the creek. am trying here for a half interest We are just finishing cabin and'will be more than glad to see you if you come out; but you can learn very little now. The Coldfoot people who are here are very skeptical of the camp. People are coming to this creek from other creeks and say Big creek is going to be producer if any of them is As near as I can learn three hundred odd dollars was taken out at the head of this creek, out of strip Is by 20 feet, which, if so, would make fair sniping. There are a number of good miners and prospectors here, and we are going to try and find it, and of course we hope to. Scarcity of wood is big draw back High winds and water are going to make the camp very slow to determine. ii you come up be sure and call. You can go up Big creek to most all of them. Judge Howard was here the other day from Coldfoot. He reports very few people recording Most of Squaw creek is open.
 This camp has better showing than Fairbanks had at this same stage of the game. We are in hopes that the mum Der of people who are in here prospect ing will find it even better than Cleary creek, but she is likely to be another Coldfoot camp, with few good spots
 There are men here digging now who have hecn here three, four and six years. but they minel-pruspccted all around the klondiks ii hear ot anything | believe in. or see or find anything, l'u let you know. Sincerely,

We also appreciate the work of our

giving us better bridges and better
roads. We admire the road built from
Little River bridge, near Goldsboro, to
the Pearson bridge. It is almost equal
to the streets OF your city, but we hope
the time is neal at hand when the con

expense Of building them.
The grove at the Myrtle Springs Sun
day evening was pretty well filled with
buggies. surveys, ETC., many of them
coming from the city. Among them
we noticed Mr.. and Mrs. w. Z. Yelver-

people and children. All seemed to en-

you want a good place to have a picnic
