HAPPENINGS AT CH|T|NA

The properties on O'Brien Creek are looking very encouraging. One outfit has done some exploration al- ready, and the results are very pleas ing to the owners. If the lead holds up to what can now be expected there will be a mill on it this sum- mer.
 Harry Chamberlain lest yesterday for two months visit outside.
 T. c. Macaulay, who has worked for several years in the employ of the railway company, and who has more recently been working at Ken necott, passed through Chitina on his way to San Diego, Cal, where he as- pires to become a birdman. MT. Ma caulay leaves a host of friends and admirers.

 Mir Gilman, the considerate and business-like manager for s. Blum & Co.,, says that firm has had a sur prisingly good patronage during the past winter and almost double the amount they had expected last fall Large volumes of business with reas- sonable competition allows business to be done on comparatively small margin, which will mean much to this town.
 Fred M. Schaupp, the local hard ware man, intends to have the city water works in operation soon. With this warm weather there is nothing to prevent its operation unless it is the exorbitant license required for supplying water for sale. At pres ent the water is being carried by hand from the we'll dug by the rail- way company.

Coal Claimants Prefer Taft

it possible to accomplish at this ses- sion, has returned to the coast. The one important proposition that is still hanging in the balance is an ap- propriation of s125,0OO to be used in the construction of roads and trails before he leaves. Senator Wilson has refrained from becoming engaged in any controversial propo- sition and in this manner has helped 10 secure much legislation of minor character.
 Albert Fink, formerl yof Nome, has been around Washington for the past two weeks endeavoring to se- cure before the supreme court 6 settlement of a case involving the Bon Voyage claim at Nome. The slow methodical manner in which the wheels of justice grind is getting on Fink's nerves, and when last seen the northern attorney was just two jumps ahead of fit.

KENNECOTT NOTES

T. c. Macaulay, material clark for the Kenecott Mines Company, left on Fridays train for Cordova en route to San Diego, Cal, where he intends studying aerial navigation. Mac will be very much missed here, as he was extremely popular with all. Kenne- colt wishes him every success in his new chosen profession.
 We had a call few days ago from Messrs. Birch and Esterly. They are resuming active operations on their mining properties in the Nizina coun- try.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Harry White, former mayor Of Seattle and one of the "Bering River coal bar ons," having consummated the pur- chase of 7O,000 acres of arabic land from the Santa Fe Railroad Compa- ny, left this city few days ago for his new home on the desert. To- gether with others who are interest ed in the coal lands of Alaska, White will endeavor to secure delegates to the Republican national convention for President Taft. It isn't that these coal claimants love MT. Taft, but rather that they love Col. Roose- welt and Clifford Pinchot very much less. In this case many of them feel that they are entitled to the land which they staked and located under the law as it had been construed up that time. They feel that this ad- ministration has given them what Roosevelt calls square deal-that is to say, a deal that is any conceivable shape but square. However, being between the devil and the deep sea, they are choosing what they consid- CT the least of many evils.
 
 Senator John L. Wilson, having gained everything that he considers

VALDEZ ENW0US CORDOVA'S
 $|00,000 FEDERAL BUILDING

Valdez is sore and it's residents can no longer restrain their bitter ness at the enterprise shown by Cor dovans in the attempt to advance the interests of this town. Under the caption of Would Take Cable and Federal Offices" the Prospector of Wednesday publishes the following story, which contains many inaccu- racies and some truths:
 Having little to commend itself to its own inhabitants or the public at large, the town of Cordova is con- tinually reaching out for the things possessed by more prosperous con- munities, depending largely on the big vested interests to feather the local nest at the expense of other communities. The latest move of Cordova is to take away not only our cable station, but the headquar- ters of the department of justice for the Third judicial division stationed here.
 Through the aid of the Guggen- helm influences they have had bill introduced in congress appropriat- ing $10O,000 for the construction of federal building in the tide flat

PREFERS JAIL

MT. Leroy L. Middlecamp, of El- lamar, Alaska, and Miss Helen
 Brown, of Seattle, were married re- gently at St. Marks rectory, by the Rev. Ernest Vincent Shayler. After a wedding trip east they will return to Alaska, making their home at El- lamar, where the groom is superin- tendent of the mine that has been in operation there for some years past.

city in which it is expected to house the cable office, custom house, court and other officials of the depart ment of justice.
 ''To this end the department iR Washington has communicated with the marshaPs office here to inform them how much floor space each de- partment would require. No doubt this information is being sought with a view of determining the extent and sort of building required to meet the demands of all the officers now as- signed to this division. It is pro- posed to erect the proposed building on the hillside adjoining the Wind- sor hotel on Second avenue. It is up to Valdez to see that Cordova gets no more than she is justly entitled to and that won't include the cable office or the headquarters of the Third judicial division.
 Special Agent Atwell, of the In- terior Department, who has been ex- amining coal lands in the Beriag field, is in Cordova reporting to the department of justice on the location of proposed federal building. for which Congress is to be asked to make an appropriation"

The colonization project of the Du-
iuth, South Shore & Atlantic railroad.
as announced by w. w. Walker. vice
president and general manager of the
system, as being among the projects
contemplated by the railroad. will be
really more than what the term APP
plies i'm that it will really be a big

OF being able to carry it TO a success

In discussing the colonization or ed
ucational movement, Mr.. Walker holds
to the belief that "A great deal more
good can be accomplished by educat-
ing the farmers already tilling the soil
i'm the upper peninsula, as to the ad-
vsntages which the district holds out
for them, rather than to attempt to
bring i'm outsiders and have them open
farms.
u would much rather see" said Mr..
Walker, one farmer cultivating 40, so
or 100 acres of land than to see half
a dozen occupying n great deal more
and getting no good results out of 1t.
There are "A great many products
which can be raised on upper peninsu-
Ia farms To which the farmers at pres
ent pay very little or no attention. III
we can demonstrate to them that they
can vastly improve their earning pow
or by cultivating certain products. we
will be not only rendering them great
assistance, but at the same time VIII
be providing future for our system,
as a Zig farming community must
needs have proper transportation IA
cilities for handling it's products"
