VALDEZ TALKING
 OF JULY FOURTH

Fourth of July in Valdez is this year to be observed with loud and long continued acclaim. The day is as yet six weeks off but for all of that the merchants, professional men and city officials are discussing the pre- liminaries of the celebration.
 So far the plans exist only in a gen eral way but within short time meeting will be called at which com mittces will be appointed and the work of getting things under way will then be taken up in earnest. AS in former years, it is planned to have parade, athletic contests and all the other affairs of character appro- priate to an old time hurrah in honor of the Nations birth anniversary.
 The present intention is to have the celebration begin carly in the morn ing and to have it continue as long into the night as anyone cares to contribute to the gaiety of the ooca- sion. There will be things doing every minute and so diversified will the various features be that there will be something of interest for all kinds and conditions of humanity.

NO PUNISHMENT
 FOR LAND FRAUDS
Guggenheims Said to Be Guilty of Violating Law
 Seventy-tive Times.

Washington, May 21-Nothing more serious than the knowledge that the government believes them guilty is to be the punishment of those sus- pectcd of land frauds committed in Alaska. The interior department has announced that it has no inten- tion to prosecute although it has evi- dence that the frauds are numerous.
 Among those against whom evi- dence has been obtained is the Gug- genheim interest which, it is de- clared, is guilty of seventy-fve such frauds committed in connection with gaining possession of coal lands by the employment of persons to act as bonatida entrymen. It is said that the reason prosecution has been abandoned is because the president and Secretary Garfield believe that such pooling has become legalized by the new senate coal land bill.

CRUSADER GETS
 DEATH THREAT

Seattle, May 1G-Threats of death, unless he ceases to make complaints against gamblers and race track fol- lowers, have been received by City Attorney Randolph of Georgetown. The threats are made in letter re- ceived from Oakland, California.
 City Attorney Randolph has been very active in leading the fight against the race track element and has declared that he will strictly en- force the law against all forms of gambling, especially with regard to pool rooms and book making. Up to the time Randolph began his crusade, Georgetown had been a mecca for the gambling element, and has, dur ing the racing season. been the scene of saturnalia of vice.
 The threats made in the letter are not taken seriously by Randolph.

CLEVELAND IN
 STRIKERS GRIP
State Troops Are Called and Shooting and Dynamiting
 Cause Terror.

Cleveland, May 2O-Practically under martial law, Cleveland today is the scene of riotous outbreaks, dynamiting and many personal con- fiicts between street car strikers and the state militia. Last night at mid night the strikers shot motorman, two guarfs and a passenger on q Lakewood avenue car and then burned the car. A Clifton avenue car driven by an inexperienced man ran over and killed girl and in an instant it was surrounded by mob, and the attemp to lynch the motor man was only prevented by the ar rival of troops.
 During the midnight and early morning hours the strikers made concerted attacks on cars in all parts of the city. They demolished a Broadway car by the use of dyna- mite and Madison street car was also wrecked. Several persons were injured in the latter affair but none seriously.
 The street car company has refused the proffered aid of the state in an attempt to settle the strike by arbi- tration and has also refused to dis charge the nOn-union men it has em- ployed since the strikers walked out last Sunday. It was at first hoped that the strike would be settled with out violence and the first offer of troops was declined.
 Yesterday, however, the strikers became violent and after they made use of dynamite an emergency call was sent to the governor and the guardsmeR living in Cleveland were ordered out.

AUT0|STS ID TRY
 ALASKA JOURNEY
Representatives of Paris Paper Will Depart From
 Valdez Next January.

Seattle, May 2O-The journey from Valdez to East cape may yet be made by an automobile; in any event the attempt is to be made next win ter by Maurice Drieghe and Max Hopman, correspondents of the Le Journal, the Paris publication that sent all automobile independently to contest in the international race. These correspondents have decided to abandon their intention of follow ing the international racers and will return from here to Paris and in January will go to Valdez and start in over the trail.
 The correspondents are of the opinion that in abandoning the Alas ka part of the trip the international racers have abandoned the only hope of establishing any precedent, for they say that the rest of the journey contemplated has been traversed be- fore and that the contest has now resolved itself into race to deter mine which machine can make the distance in the best time. The trip through Alaska and the northeast part of Siberia would, according to the correspondents, have established something to the credit of both ma chimes and drivers, and it is this credit that they purpose gaining for themselves.
 Since the return from Alaska of the American machine, the correspon- dents of Le Journal have been mak- ing exhaustive inquiries as to the route from Valdez and they are con Vinced that the trip can be made.

Washington, May 18-Official Capi- toldom is astir concerning the rumor that the president has notified the Mikado that the Japanese govern ment is not keeping it's promise with regard to the restriction of coolie inn migration.

COAL LAND BILL
 |S SURE ID PASS Present Holders of Alaska Properties Will Be Able to Begin Mining.
NO PROVISION FOR LOCATION
Delegate Gale Says lo,ooo Men
 Will Be Put to Work If Mea- sure Becomes Law.

Washington, May 1S-There is every probability that the bill providing for the operation of Alaska coal lands will pass this session of congress. The bill has been reported favorably from both houses. The bill, while it does not permit of locations, and ap- plies only to coal land located prior to the time of withdrawal of coal lands from entry in 1907, will be of the greatest benefit to Alaska as it will make it possible at once to be- gin work on the properties now located.
 The bill provides for the consolida- tion of claims into tracts consisting of 2,560 acres, thus making it profitable to install the necessary machinery for mining on large scale, and un- doubtedly means that the present holders of properties will at once be- gin work.
 Delegate Gale, in an interview to- day, declares that the passage of the bill will mean the employment in Alaska of at least 1000 men, build ing railroads into the coal fields and mining.
 Unless the currency conference de- lays matters congress will adjourn Thursday and to that effect both houses are rushing through the long list of bills. The currency confer ence began at noon today.

The young couple were married as a prank about year ago, and later when tho girl wished to wed 1t developed that the first marriage might be legal as the man who pre- formed the ceremony had certain judicial powers. Despite the decision of tho court the family of the girl will not permit her marriage without the sanction of the church.

Washington, May 19-James Cross ley's chances for being appointed district attorney for the Third judicial district of Alaska are considered to be good despite the fact that Alas kans in Washington, and the terri torial delegate, Thomes Gale, have done all in their power to prevent the nomination of any one not a resident of the territory. The senate judiciary committee this morning ordered favorable report on Crossley's name and this, it is believed, presages that the opposition that at one time threat ened to prevent the confirmation of his nomination has been withdrawn by the senators.
 The Alaskans have not given up their fight, however, and circum- stances may yet develop to either de- lay the appointment or to at least prevent it's confirmation. It is be- licved that it is extremely improba- blc that an Alaskan will get the ap- pointment.

To give an idea of the saving II
means to rangers and stockmen, who
pack thousands of pounds of supplies
over this route in season, 1t is stat.
ed that the time of making the trip
with a pack horse is reduced from 10
to 12 hours to two or two and one
half hours. The labor and supplies
expended in cutting this 10 or 10
miles of trail through the dense
brush and timber cost $500. Those
acquainted with the trail say II is
money well spent
The cabin built at the Toll Gate
ranger station cost about $475. and
the cabin on the Umatilla cost about
5000.
Mr.. Schmitz says plans are already
laid for other cabins and trails to be
built as soon as the rainy season
opens, eliminating the danger of for
est fires.
