 It was through this murderous crew of traders that the civilized world learned of the Aleutian Islands. and the adjacent mainland. Russia was to owe her American colony to the initiation and enterprise of private individuals, for the Court of St Petersburg paid little heed to its American possessions for more than half a century after Bering's last voyage. But two attempts at official investigations were made, both more or less abortive. In 1767 Lieutenant out to explore the American coast, and though his results were meager and his statements unreliable. there seems no reason to doubt that he landed on the southern coast of Sew ard Peninsula. About the same time Captain krenitzin reached the Alas ka Peninsula on a similar mission.
 When the Spanish and English first appeared on this coast Russia had no permanent settlement in Alaska Bering's expedition had dis covered new continent; yet though a third of a century had passed dur ing which private enterprise had developed a lucrative fur trade in the adjacent islands. no effective at tempt had been made to extend his discoveries or to exploit the resour- ces of the main continent The trad ing voyages had approximately es- tablished the relative location and contiguration of the Aleutian Isl ands and Kodiak Krenitzen has as economically determined a few posi- tions in the eastern part of the chain and along the southern coast of the Alaska Peninsula. These, to- gether with Bering's discovery, and less definite knowledge of the mainland lying adjacent to Boring Strait, comprised Russa's investiga- tions in North America previous to the advent of other nations.

Fools for Luck.

When Knute Strand, the man who recently got crazy drunk, knocked down a woman, assaulted a dog with an axe, kicked in a few doors and was fined $50 and costs for assault and battery-when Knute came out of the trance that followed his eX- ploits he missed a purse containing $2O gold piece and concluded that he had been touched" His coat was also missing and he was anx- ious to find out where it was. Spec ial Deputy Tom Howell instituted a search along the track of Knute's S late cyclone and found the coat in plowed lot back of Second street. The garment had been cheWed into an unserviceable condition by bunch of pups that Knute had overlooked in his excitement, but the purse and the double eagle were safe in one of the pockets. With this money ac counted for, knute computed the to- tai cash expenditure involved in the jamboree at between four and five dollars So, as a matter of fact, he cannot complain of not getting a pretty good run for his money.-Tan ana Leader.

DAWSON MAN 0N
 THE |D|TAR0D

The Iditarod country is cursed with the power of attorney process of stalking. So much of the country has been staked by that means that the prospector going there now can not find ground within 100 miles of the camp open within loo miles of the camp open is the news brought by Charles P. Do Ian, sourdough Klondike operator, now one of the proprietors of the King Edward hotel, who was the first klondiker to start down the river for the camp this season, and the first to get back after thorough inspection of the new place.
 As an illustration of the abuse of the power of attorney privilege in the Iditarod country" says MT. Do Ian, T may say that one man who went into the country last season has staked 150 miles of creeks. Others have staked miles after miles. Win such conditions existing, the real miner who now goes has no opportu- nity to do a thing unless he accepts lay. The lays usually are given on the terms of 75 per cent. to the lay man. and 25 to the claim owner. In other words the man who has been allowed under the law to go and gOb- ble the whole country gets 25 per cent reward for his nerve and hog gishness. That is, he will get it if anyone will go to work for him un- der the conditions.
 Thus far only 80 men are doing actual mining in the whole camp. The output is not more than $20O,0O for the season. The creek has nine to ten miles of pay. The camp is an open cut proposition. The ground | is s to IS feet deep. The laymen who are there have little grub. Most of l the 1,500 men who remained through the winter are broke, and it is no place to get work. It looks as though the government may have to take out good many, and just as was leaving Gen. Maus, of the Unit ed States army had entered the camp and 1t was reported that he was wir- ing to the coast recommending that companies be not allowed to sell | | ;nIy fDv tn unless the purchasers have supplies or cash to keep them year. After the camp shrinks to what it justifies there will be supplies enough on hand, counting only what is now there, to last five years.
 "Of the five thousand people the country is said to now have, most are idle Those who are not pre- pared to accept lays on doubtful propositions or to strike out on long tramps into virgin country had better get out. The upper Kuskokwim has been prospected and gold found or the bars for years, but it is not known any big deposits of placer exist in that section. The large crowd now in the camp is engaged chiefly in keeping in out of the rain On our way down the rain was SC constant that we gave up our launch to take a steamer.
 The people at Iditarod City are not inclined to allow the man claim ing the townsite under trading lease to hold the place. They have jumped the ground. While was there

CHANCE TO FIGHT

Nalladares Defies President of
Honduras and Is Ready
for Battle.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Back Oh
his own island and entrencbed behind a
battery of machine guns, General Jose
Nalladares, the eccentric commandant
of Amapala, the Pacific port of Hondu-
ras, has openly deGed President Dav-
aho to put him out of his Job. The
United States gunboat Princeton. which
has been in Amapala about throe weeks
to protect United States interests, has
been ordered there until relieved.
Both the state and navy departments
have dispatches from Honduras, tell
ing of Valladares queer performances,
Minister McCreery in Tegucigalpa tele.
graphed last night that Valladares had
left the capital in company with Gen
lgnated by the president as successor.
Valledares told the president he would
turn the island over TO Carias. after
which he would return to the capital.
Arriving in Amapala, however. Val
ladares evidently changed his mind, for
lie at once issued a manifesto, which
be sent to the president, saying that the
president was weak and unworthy and
dominated by foreigners and that he
considered it his duty to resume com
mand of Amapala. He promptly sent
Carais back to the mainland III a launch
and announced that he would make
trouble if any foreigners interfered.
Commander Hayes of the Princeton
cabled the navy department. today, Just
after he had received orders TO go to
Panama for coal, that Valladares had
returned and assumed charge of ANA
pala. He said that the Princeton should
remain there at present.
Acting Secretary of the Navy Win
throp AT once ordered the Princeton to
stay. The Yorktown probably will be
sent from Ranamato to relieve her.
Naladares had been governor OF ANA
pala since 1907 when Davila became
president. Early last month Valadares
made threats against foreign residents in
the place-therc are only ffteen-and
at the request of President Davila the
United States sent the gunboat Prince
ton to Amapala.
When the Princeton arrived Valadares
reluctantly received Commander Hayes
and assured him that he had had no
trouble with foreign residents other than
a controversy over some goods passing
through the customs house. He depart
ed soon afterward for Tegucigalpa, leay-
ing one of his own men In command.
He announced that ne was going to the
capital TO consult with the French and
German ministers.
Amapala has 1900 inhabitants. includ
ing $50 well armed soldiers. who are
said to be loyal TO Valadares. The lat
ter hates foreigners. but UP TO the pres
ent time he has done nothing more seri
GUS than TO threa ten them.
