The Chitina leader., 1911-11-04

For the first time since its early days-1 -1S94-5-6-7-Circle City is be- ginning to feel the effects of modern ism. A stranger coming to the town now would think that precinct the deadest hole in creation. He would, however, soon become convinced of his huge mistake were he to go to the diggings. ! True, in the town not man is to be seen on the streets. even the na- tives are now away fishing, but on the creeks all is activity for the first time in ten years the gold output will increase from the usual average of between S250,000 and S300,0OO to from s350 900 to $400,O0O. Clar- ence Barry, on Eagle creek, Jenson and Harrington, in Mastadin creek, the Mastodon Hydraulic company, and P. J. Anderson. on the same creek, and Berry & Lamb on Mam- moth are all working full blast and getting clean-ups away above. all sanguine expectations.

which came from the United States. The owners of them would like to move to Fairbanks to operate, but are stopped by the customs regula tions. MT. Willis believes that in asmuch as the machinery was manu- factured in the United States. there is no very good reason why the dred- ges should not be allowed to operate at Fairbanks.
 These with a number of matters of less. importance which will prob ably keep the collector busy for a couple of months. When his busi- ness at the capital is concluded, he will leave for Oregon, where he will spend his annual vacation of a month.

a dead weight as they carried. Act ing upon this theory, many followed in the tracks of the now doubtless terrified fugitives, while several par ties devoted their energies to finding the caches which it was presumed the thieves had provided for beforehand.
 But the whole nefarious robber scheme was bungled from the start; such schemes generally are. Instead of unearthing the loot from carefully planned hiding places, the pokes were found just where the wood-be imita- tors of Jesse James had dropped them in their flight.
 The first poke, containing $16,0OO in dust, was found by Steve fate, who cooks for Friend & James. This nice nice little sum was dropped by one of the party when he had got but 100 yards from the scene of the IIS iSAiSu oPSii his partner to save the other big poke but his partner failed him, as such partners generally do in times of stress-and the second poke, also containing $16,000 worth of gold, was found by Ed Magnuson about a mile up Cottonwood, toward the summit of the bald hill. Half a mile more, just over the hill, in draw which runs down into Otter creek the third poke, containing 150 oun- ces, was brought to light by Harry McWhorter, the Flat creek claim owner.
 Before making their getaway the bandits divested themselves of dis guises, placed the same in the re, mains of the strongbox. These are now in the hands of the authorities One of the masks was new. It was made from a breakfast food carton The other mask is old and may have seen service in previous holdups, or in fancy dress bah

R. J. Barry has just returned from Fairbanks. where everybody is boost ing for the automobile or summer trail from Chitina to that place. In discussing the matter before the Fairbanks Commercial Club MT. Bar ry presented some good logical ar guments in favor or the improvement of roads. Among other things he said:
 "In this fight for improved trans portation facilities, we must impress upon the government that Alaska generally is in favor Of improved roads. that Alaska generally believes that improved road facilities ana cheaper transportation are gong lo be1n the development of this terrl- tory. To that end we must unite our efforts. and there should not De the slightest dlIllculIy III ee''S

In Saturday nights mail Harry G. Steel, editor of the Daily Alaskan, received his commission as postmas- ter at Cordova. It was issued on October and is effective at once, although MT. Steel will not assume his new duties until Wednesday, it being the first of the month.
 Nothing definite has been decided as to where the postoffice will be moved, but it is almost certain that new location will be secured. When Inspectors Smith and Cookson were here about six weeks ago they re- ceived several bids from property owners who are desirous of having the postoffice in their buildings. but the department has not taken final action in the matter. As soon as the location is settled modern and at tractive office fixtures will be or dered and every effort made to give the public good service.

 We have got to win the fight for better roads before you can expect to arrive at anything like the re- suit desired in your campaign for an eight-day run to Seattle. The idea is one that appeals to business men on the outside, presenting-as it does-the transportation problem in a different light to the man in the states who does not understand To- cal conditions. To talk on an eight day run from the big centers of busi- ness to any other point In the states would be quite reasonable, And when they begin to understand outside that this Alaska transpor- tation business is so imperfect, OF account of the want of good roads. there is no doubt but that there will be considerable activity in ouI behalf.

great deal more than if we don't fly quite so high. At the present time there is no inducement for anyone to go into business between here and the coast, outside of the road houses. The trail between here and Chitina is an excellent start for a commercial highway and it would not take much money to turn this military road into a good permanent
 highway. This main trail from here to the coast should not be the sum and end of government ac- tivity in this particular work. That main trail should be made trunk line, and a series of trails should run from settlements like Fairbanks to the mining properties in the dis trict. As a new camp is opened up some 4 facilities should be made i'm mediately to enable people to get lnJO Iu6 ueW CdHp III du SColohiiSai manner, and even though one new camp may be short lived, the number of cases where this work would be of immense benefit would entirely counteract any such small loss.
 ''The time has arrived when we must get down to some com bined method of work, for we cannot work too closely together. Our efforts should be directed so as to helr one another's local activities, and the business men in Cordova can be relied upon to come to the assistance of the people of Fairbanks without any hesitation. But the matter o1 the mail in Fairbanks is entirely a local matter. There is very lit

 As soon as the news reached Flat posses started out to SCOUT the hills. The men off shift were appraised ot what had occurred and joined in the hunt Within half an hour of the holdup hundreds of men were in the hills looking for the fugitives.
 Simultaneously with the informa, tion regarding the holdup being phoned to Flat, Commissioner Stan ton and Deputy Marshal Shepard oi Iditarod were informed. The deputy marshal lost no time in getting to the scene, and Commissioner Stanton worked energetically, as result oi which many armed men left Iditaroe within few minutes after the news of the holdup was received there Messrs. Friend & James offered re- ward of $5,000 for the capture of the |
 bandits, and dodgers to that effect were quickly circulated. Excitement in town and on the creeks reached fever heat.
 With so many practiced mushers on their track it was evident that despite the start which they had, the robbers would have to cache some oi their swag. They could make little headway over the tundra with such

from the willows aforesand sprang
 two men armed to the teeth and on
 robbery bent. One of the men wore
 tan parkey and the other an india
 rubber coat. Both had masks-one
 an old one, the other a new; and
 each had a handkerchief over the
 lower portion of his face. They were not particularly impressive, these
 men. by all accounts, nor were they particularly brave. On the other h. they were trembling with agi- t md it really looked to the in- terested spectators as though one of the guns might go off-by accident.
 So when an order was shouted to stop the car the command was Obeyed for there is no fool so dangerous as a fool with a gun. Out of the car the men of the party were tumbled and ordered to stand, with their hands up, and their backs to the roD-
 bers, in approved bandit fashon. Ev-
 en at this stage the robbers were
 more afraid than those they were about to rob, and to reassure them selves they fired shots over the heads of their victims. This brought forth remonstrance from George
 Friend, and the miscreants devoted themselves to the plunder. The strongbox was lifted from the car
 and with the aid of heavy maui
 was soon broken open. In the box
 the thieves found three pokes-two large and one small-and also $182
 in cash. This they abstracted. The travellers were then ordered back to

Obituary.

Grace Mabel. daughter of G. II. and
S. E. Scott, was born February l4th,
1891, in Lincoln county, Wash. She
died July Both, 1911. Her life was sur
rendered to Christ in the act of Christ
ian baptism, while residing at Central
ia, Wash, when IL years old. She
first united with the Baptits Church,
but later placed her membership with

Wash.
About a year ago she came with her
family to Bingen, Wash. where she re-
sided until the time of her fatal ILL
ness. She leaves her mother, one
brother and two sisters to mourn her
departure.
"Where thou art gone?
Adieus and farewells are sounds un-
known.
MAY we but meet thee on that peace
full shore,
The parting sound shall pass our lips
no more.
After short service in the Metho
dist church the body was laid to res

YAKIMANS FIGHT
RED SPIDER PEST

Declaring that horticultural lnspec-

the rancher in time TO prevent damage
from the red spider. County Commits
sioner NJ. L. Olson, who is also a ranch.
er and president of the Yakima Valley
fruit Growers association, is sending
out another warning 10 the valley urg-
ing immediate action in all parts sffec'
ted by the pest, says dispatch TO the
Spokane Spokesman Review.
The simple remedy suggesed by In.
spector Huntley. namely, the use OF
plenty of water, is not sufficient, aecor
ding to Olson. A spray is needed. Dry
sulphur is found to be effective in some
cases, but a wet mixture Olson ha:
found more effective. DIR. j. 5. kloeb
