Getting Up Koyukuk River

For the first 300 miles the Koyulkuk is a somewhat sluggish stream and easily navigated. Boats can row this distance. The river is more like a big canal. Then the river begins to up- lift and the water flows more swiftly, and the last 200 miles to Bettles is like going to the mill race of the un- der world. Bettles is the head of navigation, and consists of the North ern Commercial Company's store and q few houses. It is 60 miles from there to Coldfoot, near the mines, and it costs as much to freight over that distance as 1t does to get goods to Bettles. In the summer time barge drawn by horse is used, under favor able conditions, when the water is low enough.

Dora Reaches Seward

Steamer Dora reached Seward from the westward Sunday afternoon. On board her were Deputy Marshal Bowers who is bringing o. l.. Grimes. the Afognak school teacher, who was bound over by the Kodiak commis- sioner, Dr. Silverman, on the charge of rape, and three native witnesses.
 Reports from Kodiak state that public opinion there is almost wholly with Grimes and harsh comments are made on the commissioner and deputy marshal for arresting the man. The rape story is looked on there az a dream.

ZiM MOORE TO BE
 CAPTAIN OF BERTHA

Capt. Zim Moore, for several years master of the steamer Dora, running to Unalaska, and one of the best known and most popular steamship masters in North Pacific waters, has resigned from the Dora to become master of the Bertha, of the Alaska Coast Company. He wired his resig- nation from Seward yesterday to the Alaska Steamship Company at Seat tie. He will make one more trip westward on the Dora to give the company time to fill his place.
 The offer of the Bertha to Captain Moore was left with Mrs. Moore at Seward while her husband was gone.

WATER RISING IN
 KEYSTONE CANYON

Water is stopping over the ice in Keystone canyon and within few days the winter trail will be one of the things that were. The ice will soon be so rotten as to be dangerous and the water already makes deep wading in several places. The trail is giving way by the melting and set ting of snow, and it is so broken with chuckholesithat travel is'getting fierce on the horses. The sleds will have to take to the hill in few days and will soon be out of business.
 The road to the canyon is getting in a bad way and Lowe river may be- gin running almost any time. Soft weather is reported all the way in interior and the trail is softening in consequence.

MISSED HIS CALLING

Francis J. lieney plainly missed his calling when he failed to go on the stage. He is crazy for the limclight and has other instincts of an actor. He is very rotten heavy at the bar and in politics. but he might do bet ter in l0-2O-30 cent mclOdrama.
 The suspicion is becoming wide spread that lIcncy, the strutting re- former, is fourtlush aggregation of false prctcnscs. He has been posing as prize prosecutor but he has hard ly eyer been able to make cOnvic- ton stick in an appellate court and he has hoOdoOcd his own side in every political campaign he ever buttcd into
 Hency has had small pattern of greatness thrust upon him by tin whistle newspaper writers, who make a speciality of boosting anything they imagine to be popular. He has been fad, like popular songs and Teddy bears, and when the wind of prctonsc escapes from the puncturcd air bag he will flattcn out like any other toy balloon.

STRANGE ADVENTURES
 OF CAPT. MlKKLESEN

It would be pity to spoil this news story from Hearst's Chicago Ameri- can with any comments further than to mention that Capt. Mikklesen sailed from Valdez on the steamer Northwestern the day he was alleged to have been in Victoria:
 Victoria, B. C., March 28-Captain Einur Mikklesen, the Danish explorer today declared his intention of con- tinuing his quest for a new continen t in the Beaufort sea. He ia undaunted by the long series of misfortunes that havn befallen him.
 Twice shipwrecked since his depart ure from this port on the schooner Duchess of Bedford, Captain Mikkel- sen was landed at Valdez on the Alas ka coast, together with forty-six oth- CT unlucky south-bound travellers and reached Seattle on the steamship Sar- atoga.
 The passengers and crew lashed themselves to the rigging and happily were rescued after sixteen hours ex- posture by the little coaster Elsie, which conveyed them to Victoria.

YUCATAN ARRIVES
 WITH BIG LOAD

Steamer Yucatan reached port from Seattle Tuesday afterss noon, bringing thirty-fve first-class passengers and twenty-two second class passengers, 200 tons of coal and S7 tons of freight. Capt. John A. O'Brien is once more her master.
 The Yucatan had several prominent passengers aboard, including E. c. Hawkins Chief engineer, and M. J. Heney, contractor. of the Copper River & Northwestern railroad, and J. R. Van Cleve, formerly master mechanic of the Alaska Central at Seward, who goes now to the Gug- genheim company. These three went to Cordova. Henry Deyo, well-known in Valdez as an engineer of the Guggenheim syndicate, stops in Valdez. Frank Watson superin- tendent of the Matanuska coal com pany, was a passenger for Seward.

CAPT. MOORE BECOMES
 MASTER OF PORTLAND

Capt. Frank Moore will come up as master of the steamer Portland on this months trip of that vessel, hay ing resigned from the service of the Alaska Steamship Company.
 Capt. Moore was with the North western Steamship Company and it's predecessor, the Alaska Pacific Navi- gation Company so long that the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. He was on the little old Newport for several years and was then transferred to the Santa Ana. Two years ago he was transferred to the Saratoga and from that steamer to the Yucatan last summer. He has since been on the Yucatan. He is one of the most popular captains on the Southern Alaska run, and is re- garded as one of the most capable.

VALDEZ CAN STAND ALONE

Valdez may not get the Copper River & Northwestern railroad but if the terminus goes elsewhere Valdez will still be growing town. The mining resources so directly tributary to Valdez that q railroad from a rival port cannot take their proceeds away are sufficient to maintain q larger town than Valdez today.
 Within fifty miles of Valdez copper prospects are developing into mines which will soon have long payroll and all their business will be done with this town. An ore concentratOr here to reduce the product of these mines would pay out more in wages than q railroad terminus.
 For half decade railroad pro- motcrs have passed Valdez by with the exception of Il little mere tenta- tive work and in that time more than $5, ,000, 900 has been spent at Seward, Cordova and Katalla, yet Valdez to- day has larger population than all three of these towns exclusive of men employed in construction, proving that railroads are not their chief fac tor in the building of Alaska towns.
 Nevertheless q railroad will be built from Valdez. The best engin- eers and the best informed men agree that Valdez is the natural gateway to the Bonanza copper fields and other extensive mining districts in the same general region. The route from Valdez is much shorter and freer from enormous physical obstacles. When capital gets tired of burning money in futile experiments it will come back to Valdez and start right.

FAIRBANKS TRYING
 ID ANNEX SUS|TNA.

Valdez creek is .regarded in Fair banks as the coming camp of Alaska, writes E. A. Henderson to R. A. Fer guson of this city. He says:
 "In keeping with a promise made to you to report all the news I could get hold of from Valdez creekI would say that parties have come in here from there within the week and they report that Smith has struck dirt that goes $20 to the pan on the bench known as the Bay Horse." This looks good to me-"
 1.-The postmaster here has got a move on and has established a provisi- onal post office there named McKin- ley and has appointed a postmaster and has had bid for carrying the mail sent in and is trying to get the government to contract for a regular service from here. We will have a monthly mail at least for this summer The merchants here are out after the trade of that camp like a dog for q bone. (An Indians half-starved Si- was dog mean.) You will have to wake up in Valdez or they will cap ture that business"
 ''I hear it rumored that lot of Monahan's ground has been jumped this winter. The boys should form q strong organization and you should impress upon them that they must look after the question of discovery" and assessment work very close and they should have plenty of witnesses to every discovery and staking."
 ''There is lot of talk here about Valdez creek and number have gone in from here. If things turn out good this summer you will see q stampede of thousand people in there from here next fall or spring. We all have some good property in there and it will be big mistake to sell it except for fancy price. It is likely to be the best camp in Alaska and it is up to the Valdez boys to get some of the benefit of it."

COMPLETE CONTRACT
 FOR GOVERNMENT

Fish & Walsh have completed the contract to deliver 40 tons of supplies for the second government telegraph line from Valdez to Gulkana. The supplies were left at stated intervals along the trail as far as Paxton's roadhouse. Work on the erection of poles and stringing of the wire will soon begin.
 Mir. Fish came in Sunday and re- ports the trail from Keystone canyon on to the interior to be in excellent condition. He said it was shame the American automobile failed to give the trail trial, as it would have had excellent going from the summit on to Fairbanks.

The announcement of Judge liar lan's resignation of the district at torncyship will be received with re- grct in Valdez, where nearly every body is his friend and believes in his integrity and ability. It was known that Judge Harlan was tired of the worries of the place and that his health was much impaired, Before leaving here for Fairbanks he told his intimate friends that he would re- sign before the end of the summer. His illness at Fairbanks seems to have hurried his decision tO retire.

NEW YORK KNOWLEDGE

The Owl Drug Company of Valdez has received letter from New York house explaining that it cannot now return several fountain pens which were sent there to be repaired because the New York post office re- fuses to receive registered packages while navigation is closed in Alaska waters. The postal officials of that provincial town kindly explained to the business house that navigation would open June 1 and they would then accept registered packages for Valdez.
 This serves as reminder that a few years ago 50,000 school children were refused admission to the public schools of New York city because of lack of room. The school board of Tammanytown had failed to make provision for as many as the census ought to have shown were likely to attend. It is probable that the pres ent registry clerks in the New York post office were among those 50,000 young persons who were unable to break into the schools of that half civilized city decade ago. Or it may be that the geographies in use there were published before the annexation of Alaska.
 Upon one claim all the rest of the United States votes without dissent and that is that New York is the iay- est town in the country and the most dcnscly saturated with pucrilc Aclt-esIcem.
