Perhaps with more self-control has

Navy Department Makes Requi' SitiOn for Fifty Tons
 for Experiment.
CHICKALOON WILL BE TRIED
Sample Will Be Taken out This Win ter and SIedted to Knik to Be
 Shipped Next Summer.

A cable message came yesterday di- recting the cruiser Buffalo to arrange for securing fifty tons of Matanuska coal to be sent to the Atlantic coast for test by the navy department as to its quality. This will be taken out from the Chickaloon river bed this this winter, sledded to Knik and car ried out by way of the inlet as early as navigation opens next spring.
 The Buffalo came here with instruc- tions to take out with her fifty tons of Matanuska coal for testing, the navy department having obtained the erron- eous idea that the coal was already ac- cessible. This was no doubt due to the somewhat extensive notice the Mata- nuska coal has received through the reports of Mr. Griffith and Prof Mar tin, the former a noted Pennsylvania expert, and the latter member of the government geological survey.
 The Photographic work of the Sur- vey for the coaling station is practical ly nn,plotad Snu,n u'n"lS on land no mains and Capt Pond says it is abso- utely necessary to have one or two sunny days to take certain observa- tions.

 one Miles Long.
WORK RECEIVES MUCH PRAISE
Distance Reduced Considerably, Streams Bridged and SwampS
 Covered With Corduroy.

Thirty-one miles of government trail, twelve feet wide, with substantial bridges across streams and corduroy through swamps now connect mile 34 of the Alaska Central with the town of Sunrise on Turnagain arm. Twenty three miles of this new road. From the forks of SiX-Mile to Sunrise, eight miles, a good trail already existed and the only work necessary was to widen it and make few repairs. The trail shortens the distance to Sunrise at least four miles.
 A trail six miles long was cut from Sunrise to Hope, shortening the dis tance between the two towns three miles. This is not as good road as the trail to the railroad but will make good sled road in the winter and pack trail at other seasons.
 A roadway was made from Seward to Bear river, six miles, which will give the homesteaderS a good road to town. It includes a long bridge across Res urrection river which cost $500, as weff as smaller bridges. The work of cutting the trail through the timber was done by the farmers at their own expense. The road is level and with little clearing of stumps and ironing out of rough spots will be first class highway.
 This is the extent of the work by the Alaska road commission in the vicinity

 Harper claims that he had nothing to do with the tea party. Earlier in the season he left some money with Kenny to keep for him while he went up the river with his brother, Al Har- per, on a prospecting expedition. He came down the river just as the trouble was starting and got his own money from Kenny, but denies any connection with the lynching. His brother came with him to Seward and they brought considerable gold dust.

YUCATAN HAS
 100000 TRIP

After making the record run of three aayS ana eighteen hours from Seattle to Katalla, loaded with freight, the steamer Yucatan bumped into so many obstacles that she was five days com ing the remainder of the way to Sew ard.
 The steamer lay at Katalla forty eight hours vainly awaiting the sub- sidence of wind and wave so that she could discharge 900 tons of freight. Then Capt Moore move along to Nal- dez and ran into a longshoremen'S 'S strike and the Valdez cargo had to be set ashore by the steamer crew. That would not have been difficult if the Katalla cargo had not been in the way. 1t required thirty-siX hours to shove that aside and get the Valdez cargo out past it..
 The Yucatan arrived in Seward at 4:3O D. m. Monday and sailed at , D. m. Tuesday. She brought twenty-three hrst-class passengers to Seward butas she did not make mp the number until she reached Latouche none of the hoodoo can be charged up to that. She brought for this port seventy-fve tons of freight, including nearly 10000 feet of bridge timber for the Alaska Central.
