Progress Of Railroad

Ehe grading on the Alaska Home Railway has been completed out Broadway to tbe intersection of the old Valdez Yukon right of way. This
 morning Stevens moved his forces to points along the first ten mile section and is establishing camps. Contracts for ties have been let and deliveries will begin in couple of days. Shortage of saw mill legs will delay the trestle work to the wharf, but Ethical is expected in today with q large raft to fill this requirement.. The Ohio will be loaded with rail road material and will also bring sup plies for the local merchants.
 The chartering of the Ohio will en- able Reynolds to at once begin to full. fill his contracts with local shippers, Those who are in need of anything in hurry would do we'll to reserve space Forthwith as large cargo is already . engaged.
 The railroad offices in the church are now in shape for occupancy and the engineers and office force took
 possession today.
 In order to facilitate the trans action of business, Reynolds is planning to
 extend his Eastern financial arrange
 ments to embr ace Valdez and vicinity ! and will put up a concrete bank build ing immediately He will place his personal resources and credit at the ccnimaLd of tne rail-
 way and through loans and resales
 take care of the interests of local sub. scribers.
 Those who have subscribed for Alas
 ka Home Railway stock may remit on account to either Levy & O. or Valdez
 Bank Mercantile Co. Make checks and money orders to H. D. Reynolds. Trustee.
 There Is no likelihood of there being
 any shortage of building material as
 saw logs are contracted for and the ! mill will deliver rush orders promptly The Valdez Construction Co. will
 put Tn complete concrete plant and all the Reynolds buildings will be fire
 proof.

 upon and all must give way to the

Leland Bull, son of DIR. Bull of Grand

E. Bull of Surface Creek, died at the
home of his parents at 2:45 O'Clock
Monday morning. The lad had under
gone two operations and little hope was
entertained for his recovery. He was
eleven years old and an extraordinarily
bright boy. He was already an expert
violin player and gave promise of be-
coming master of this instrument.
DR.. Bull is known in Delta and his son
had been here with him several times.
The stricken family Is assured of the
sympathy of their Delta county &C.
quaintances in this severe loss.
A. M. and e. C. Maryott and o. L.
Aldrich, stopped in Delta from We'd
nesday until Monday, while enroute to
California, as guests of Mr.. John For
rest. They are from his former home,
Pender, Neb. and seek new location.
Mr.. Forrest gave them an excellent
opportunity to see this country. as he
is confident that by landing these fami-
lies it would result in bringing many
others from the same place. They were
apparently well pleased and will stop
to give the matter Of Investment fur
ther consideration when returning from
their California trip.

SEEK TREASURE or LATTE.
Its Hiding Place Has Been Pointed
Out in Dreams Of Ghosts.

Since the French privateer and
smuSgler Jean LATTE, sailed the high
seas and brought his treasures TO the
gulf coast and buried them now and
hen it happens that some sensation
arises as to their immediate where

Thirtyfour years ago the pirate of

rather roughly taking him by the col

he would show him where there were
gold and silver and diamonds buried.
The doctor in his dream followed his
midnight visitor and he directed him
TO certain place in the cottage, which
was then the Beazly home and occu-
pied by the family, and designated
the SPOT under which lies the much
alked-of wealth of the priyateer.
The doctor, having the same dream
repeated twice in the same night, be-
came vide awake after Lafitte's third
visit and much interested. the result
being that he did. and perhaps too
very shortly afterward begin digging
under the house in pursuit of the
treasure.
After getting to the depth of four
Or five feet he found nothing Of any

may be, might have been released
from this burden of secrecy, a burden
from which, seemingly, he wished to
be relieved, as another visit has been
made in the same house. and this time
IN dream LATTE appears in the pres
ence OF lady, urging her to get the
lost Jewels gold and silver.
After all these years Or. Beazly has
at last consented to have some one

A $4,000 DRESS SUIT.
Worn by One Of Our 6attIeshlrs and
Consists of Flags.

Few realize the number of flags car
ried by warship nor the cost of all
the gay bunting which flutters from
mast to mast at holiday time, In adj
dition to feet communication. neces-
sary during maneuvers In home water,
says Army and Navy Life, the ship
must be equipped with an extensive
array OF flags on board for various
forms of ceremonial and official occa-
sions.
This dress suit outfit of bunting con-
sists of $50 different flags the materi-
al and making of which cost just
81 500. Each ship Is entitled to new
flag equipment every three years,
though owing to their constant use

of signals i'm about year
A great deal more time and labor
is required TO finish certain of these
flags than is generally supposed. The
presidents flag equires the longest
time of any to make, as it takes one
woman nearly a whole month to com
plete it, The life-sized eagle with out
stretched wings and other emblems
are all handsewed and involve the
most patient work
The most difficult to make are the
foreign flags. This is especially true
of the South and Central American
ones.
half dozen specially skilled hand
device sewers are continually kept on
these flags. Every battleship carries
IS foreign flags, % feet by 13 wide.
The most expensive ensign TO make Is
The German, which, owing to the deli
cate scrollwork of the large imperial
agile and royal crown necessitating
delicate. slow and careful sewing,
costs $3.50
The dragon flag of China consists OF
200 separate pieces. Twelve to IA
lays are ordinarily consumed in fin
ishing this flag, which costs $5l.i5.
The flag of Siam with the huge
white elephant costs $3S. The Mexi-
can with its center design of large
eagle holding serpent on its bill,
costs $50. 80. The cheapest foreign flag
made is the Moorish, which costs $21.

WHITE FOR MOURNING.

Widows Weeds, Etc.

Black mourning has had its day.
We are henceforth CONNIE les reines
blanches of the early Renaissance, to
wear white mourning. This is not so
much reversion as further imita-
ton of the victorious Japanese. A
black hat, feathers and gloves, with a
white dress, are to pass for lie dernier

well to be entirely in white, or per-
haps better; unbroken Wilderness is
SO blank, SO insipid as to be almost
penitential. The widow of royal line
400 years ago was in white from top
to toe. La Marguerite des Margue-
rites, who had lost her husband at the
battle of Payia, went to Madrid to Wis
it her captive brother habited in white
-wimple, riding habit and all in
white, in sign OF widowhood Black
mourning came in from Florence with
Catherine de Medici. Violet mourning
for the head of the state went out
with the revolution. M. Felix Faure
thought the black hat that replaced
II more suitable for the croque-mort,
and wished for reversion to regal
violet. For the dresses of ladies' not
in mourning there will be next winter
only violet, and of la nuance Mon

The Sections Orders.

The late Bishop Seymour of Illinois
was remarkable for the power and
beauty of his sermons. A Springfield
man said to him the other day:
AT the eastern celebration in one
of our churches Bishop Seymour and
a half-dozen other divines were pres
ent.
"One of these divines, a stern, state
ly old fellow with white hair. told
Bishop Seymour in my hearing that
whenever any one went to sleep in his
church the sexton had orders to wake
the man up.
Bishop Seymour smiled.
Wouldn't it be better he said,
when any one goes to sleep under
your preaching for the sexton to have
orders to come and wake you up?'"

UNNERVED THREE DOGS.
Lightning in Baltimore Plays Franks
and Scares CANNES.

Doing nothing more than scare
three dogs into state of unstrung
nerves and then, after striking a tree
and scaling the rust off an iron graf
ing, a bolt of lightning passed over
the heads of the animals within foot
or two and stunned a man in a house
short distance away.
The lightning struck a locust tree
i'm the yard Of Adolph Kuehn, York
road and Chestnut Hill avenue, while
the thunderstorm was at its height.
Three dogs belonging TO Mr. Kuehn-
Great Dane pup, fox terrier, and
another dog-had all made for the
kennel and were huddled inside keep
ing dry, when the bolt struck.
The bark of the tree was blazed off
for nearly two feet and the dog ken
mel was filed with splinters. The
lightning then glanced off to fence
around the kennel made of wire win
dow grating, and playing around the
iron frame. scaled off the thick rust
that had accumulated
Then il shot off. and. almost spent in
strength, flashed through an open win
dow of the home of James Crosby. on
Chestnut Hin avenue, adjoining the
Kuehn place. Mr. Crosby was near
the window, and the bolt either struck
him or passed so close TO him that he
was stunned for several minutes.
He quickly recovered. though. and
after finding himself the victim of the
lightnings freak proceeded to forget
about it, The dogs, however. had lost
every bit OF nerve they ever possessed,
and crouched together in the kennel
until the thunder and lightning had
ceased.
Then they made a dash for the
house, and all day, with the fright of
their experience still clinging to them,
stayed close to their human friends
