 "The unprecedented strength of the market on Red salmon Is caus- ing unrestricted preparations for a large pack in Western and Central Alaska. and the rapid recovery oi the pink salmon market with q splendid outlook for the new year has removed the lid in Southeast ern Alaska, so that the entire northern territory is preparing tc produce to capacity.

Loses Esteemed Citizen

Monday of this week, Wrangell lost a valuable citizen, when Capt. John Johnson left for a new scene of operations at Tree Point Light house, Alaska. Ever since the building of the Lincoln Rock light Capt. Johnson and his estimable wife have bee residents of the town, and desirable ones, too. They liked WranselI, and Wran- gall liked them, but the lure ot the old life at the lighthouses was too much Tor the captain to resist, and he is back in the government harness again. Tree Point light is located on the mainland, south east of Cape Fox, on DiNon's En- trance, in the neighhorhood of twenty miles from Port Simpson.

New York, Mar. 25.-Charles I.
Yerkes, the traction promoter OF Chr
cago and New York, when he died
about four years ago, believed ne left
his wife comfortably provided for. he
arranged she should have the interest
annually on about 100000 and the
mansion in Fifth avenue and sixty
eighth street, with its magnificent col
lection of paintings, rugs and bric-a'
brac for use during her life. MIS-.
Mary Adelaide YerkeS, the widow,
still is living amid a part of the
splendor in which her husband lett
her when he died. But the paintings
have been stripped from the art gal'
lery adjoining the mansion and from
the rooms Of the house itself.
Wagon after wagon has carried the
paintings from the house to Men
delssohn Hall, where they will be ex-
hibited beginning today. The furni'
ture In the house Is being repaired
and tagged for sale at public auction.
The almost priceless collection OF Az
rigs which Yerkes acquired at 'enor'
nous expense is carefully preserved
under lock and key, but many arr
gems which he picked and with which
he decorated his home are being tag
ged for sale. Even Mrs. Yerkes' own
boudoIr has been visited by agents OF
the receiver with tags and articles
marked for auction sale.
While this work is going on MIS-.
Yerkes is witness of 1t all. Daily LOT

She has watched agents of the receiV'

CARS ARE WRECKED
ON STEEP INCLINE
Kansas City's Ancient Cable Line
the Scene.
ELEVEN PERSONS INJURED
Car Filled With Girls and Women
Dashed Into DeraiIed Train Dur
ing the Morning
Rush.

Kansas City, Mar. 30.-Eleven per-
sons were injured and many others
had a narrow escape in collision be-
tween two cable cars on the fatetul
Twelfth street incline, which, in time
past, has been the scene OF numerous
accidents and loss of life.
A gripman, Byron R. Rocks, is blam'
ed for the accident. The car OF which
he was in charge dashed down the
incline and collided with the trailer
Of the preceding train which had lett
the tracks. The incline is equipped
with block signals and 1t is declared
that II the gripman had paid attention
to the signel he could have stopped MS
train and avoided the collision.
Both trains were crowded with pas
sengers on their way to the West
bottoms. When the forward train left
the tracks near the bottom OF the in
cline, most of the passengers alighted
and walked to the street.
Notwithstanding the block signal
the car following, in charge OF Grip
man Rocks, came on down the viaduct
at a good rate Of speed. When the
passengers saw the danger they
sprang to their feet and called to the
Eripman to stop the train. He frantical-
" released the grip and put on the
brakes. The brakes refused to work
With shrleks Of fear the passengers
on the grip car saw the train dash
down the incline toward the train at
the bottom.
They became panic stricken and sew
eral women attempted to leap from the
ears. Miss Nettie Hudson succeeded
and sprang from the speeding train to
The viaduct. She received no injuries
beyond cuts on her hands and. legs.
When the cable train struck the car
in front all of the passengers were
standing. They we're hurled from the
Ear as though shot from catapult'
Az quickly as possible ambulances
we're summoned and the injured sent
10 their homes.
This steep incline. always a menace
10 life at best, and the only direst line
10 the west bottoms and the stock
Yards for years has been neglected
until 1t is in a state Of dilapidation and
iecay. The cars operated over It are
y the oldest style, worn to the point
Of wreckaEe. and yet this line carries
thousands Of passengers daily down
IlhIs steep grade to work. How seri
GUS accidents have been aVsrted sc
long is q mystery.

Project,

The Senate Committee Favorably Re
ported the $1,vJ0,0oo Appropriation
for Missouri River I'm
provement.

Washington, Mar. 3O.-The senate
committee on commerce voted to re-
port favorably that section OF the river

appropriation Of 100000 for the Mis-
souri, river. The money is to be used
for improvements between Kansas
City and the mouth Of the river.
Inc matter had been cause OF anx-
iety to the Missouri senators because
of the opposition Of Senator Burton OF
Ohio. but when the item was reached
mere was very little discussion. Sen
ator Stone, who Is member OF the
committee. asked an expression OF the
committee as to whether 1t regarded
the appropriation as meaning that part
of the money could be used this sum-
mer TO keep the channel clear and aid
navigation as well as for permanent
betterments. The committee held that
to use part Of the money to clear the
channel and keep 1t clear would be a
proper use under the terms of the bill
Mai James B. Cavanaugh, one OF the
engineers in the war department, who
probably will have charge of the work,
said his advice would be to dredge and
pull snags this summer and keep the
channel clear.
Senator Burton expressed his objec'
lions to the appropriation briefly, but
the committee voted to let the section
stand exactly as it came from the
house.
