BELIEVE DORY

Wrecked Boat Was Seen on Reef Near EIlamar Month
 Ago

It now seems certain that Louis Townsend has met his death in the waters of Valdez bay. He left here on January 25 to go across the bay to cut wood and has not been seen or heard from since.
 Before leaving he told Harry Whitley he would be back in a short time, as he was taking pro- visions for ten or twelve days only. It was thought he might have changed his mind and gone to Ellamar or some other camp, but his friends believe he would have sent backword.
 Capt. JhQBettles, of the June, recently came up from Ellamar and reports he could get no in- formation of Townsend's having been seen there. He reports hav- ing seen dory on the reef oppo- site Ellamar about a month ago, and it is believed to be the craft in which the missing man left Valdez.
 Capt. Stamcy, of tho Brighton, also came up from Ellamar re- gently and kept close to shore, but failed to see any sign Of a camp where Townsend might have found shelter had he reach cd shore.

 Profession

Col. J. P. Grant, whose name appears on the passenger list of the Northwestern, en route to Valdez, is mining engineer of worldwide reputation. He comes direct from London and is back ed by unlimited capital in Eng land and France. His visit to Valdez shows that the prospects or this district have been favor ably reported upon by some prominent engineer and has caus- ed investors of the old country to further investigate the possi- b'ities of the camp.
 Col. Grant and M. C. F.. Camp- bell, tho mining man who arriv- ed recently, are old friends and nave met in many distant parts Of the world. Although repre- -senting different interests they have been together in Africa and South America and Mir. Campbell IS delighted with the prospect of having his friend in Alaska. They crossed the ocean on the same steamer and planned to meet in Vancouver for the trip north, but MT. Campbell made trip to Por- cupine and they failed to connect through Col. Grants suffering a brief illness in New York.
 Col. Grant occupies a similar position among British mining men to that of John Hays Ham mond in America. There is scarcely mining camp of prom thence in any habitaDle part of the globe which has not been vis- ited by him and capital which he represents is Invested or withhe'd d according to his judgment.

In an interview with The Gazette
VIM. M. Smith, president of the

encouragingly toward a bumper
crop for this county during the COM
ing season.
Mr.. Smith says: 1.-THE fall rains

now boasts of one of the best drain
age systems in the northwest states.
Farm lands have been wonder
fully improved by thing for which
thousands Of dollars have been ex-
pended during the past two years.

Farmers are turning their lat
tention toward diversified farming
methods. Thousands of gacres will
be planted 20 corn this season.
Mr.. Smith says that land values
in the county and vicinity of Red
wood Falls have rapidly increased
during the past few years. A GER
tain farmer near this city refused
$3.50 an acre for his tract of land
recently.
The fact that many silos have been
erected in the county and many

that conditions in general are pros

Mr.. Rice, in relating the incident
which inspired the organization
called the Gideons, said. AT James,

cling man applied for lodging at
one of their local hotels. The es-
Establishment was crowded and the
travelingman accepted the clerks
offer to share a double room with a
fellow-traveling man. Upon being
shown to his room he found the oc-
cupant reading bible. Both were
Christians and during the ensuing
conversation the idea of having a
bible in the room of a hotel was
born. These men, Mr.. Nicholson
and Mr.. Hill. decided to hold a
meeting. They met with one other
man and these three formed the or
ganization.
Mr.. Rice says hundreds of letters
are received by the Gideons from
hotel guests all over the United
