DREDGE is PROVING
A SUCCESS AT KENAI

Charles G. Hubbard, of the Kenai
Dredging Company, arrived in town
last night from the Kenai river, with

Grating his face. The reason is this
the Rotchford dredge that was in
stalled last summer is working and
working right. 1t is not only dig

but it is saving the gold and it is
handling the heavy wash and han
ding it in way that, while it was
hoped for, it was not really expect
ed. The dredge has been in charge
of Mr.. Rockford, the inventor, who
at all times has had the utmost faith
in the ultimate success of the dredge
as soon as it could be adjusted and
tuned up to meet the conditions ex-
listing on the Kenai river. The faith

dredge could float, it began to dig,
and now handles 500-pound boulders
with ease. The drege that is now
being used will have a capacity of
from 500 to 700 cubic yards of gravel
per day and this with only 12-horse-
power. Mr.. Hubbard states that they
are now working in much richer
values than heretofore, and that he
expected to be taking out good money
from now on. He brought up some
very interesting pictures with him
showing the character of the wash,
the dredge and failing stacker in &C
ton, and many other interesting
views from about the property

The Cordova Fish Company is now

The Cordova Fish Company is now
planning to go into the halibut bust
ness this winter. Arrangements
have already been made with the
Alaska Steamship Company for the
use of part of the ocean dock, and
very satisfactory freight rates are
offered. Manager Barry is anxious
to hear from such fishermen as want
to try winter fishing. The men now
fishing for the local company will
naturally get the preference, but it
is expected that employment will be
found for a great many more. While
there is some doubt as to the exact
location of the halibut banks in Cor
dova Bay, there is certainty thai
there is at least one bank close to
town and little prospecting will
soon develop the best places If the
local company can make success
of this new venture and provide win
ter work for fishermen there is no
doubt of Cordova's future as a fish
ing center.

PASSAGE OF SMITH BILL
WOULD OPEN COAL FIELDS

1t is believed by those interested
in the development of Alaska that if
the Smith amendment to the naval
appropriation bill, granting the navy
department an appropriation of
100000 with which to mine coal in
Alaska for its own use, is accepted
by the House noteworthy step will
have been taken toward solving both
the coal and the railroad question in
the northern territory. Indeed, ii

the Pacific coast in SO many material

ment ownership arguments, etc.,
which have so enveloped the Alaska
question, that it's possibilities are
more or less startling.
1t is not intended, of course, that
the navy department should furnish
its own means of transportation from
the Matanuska fields out of this APP
preparation, but must be taken in
connection with the statement of the
secretary of the interior that Alaska
railroad promoters have assured him
that if the government will assure
them a certain amount of coal or
other traffic a railroad will be built
to the Matanuska fields with private
capital. This, of course, is a COM
plete departure from the proposed
aforementioned railroad-a de-
parture which many will welcome.

BILE value to the shipowners of the

surplus bottoms thrown upon the
market when the vessels carrying
coal from the Atlantic to the Pacific
for the use of the navy have dis
charged their cargoes.
The coast shipowners have i'm
plored the navy department for many
years to put an end to this practice
but without avail.
Representative Humphrey, in an
effort to curb the practice, has
sought year after year to prevent the
navy department from sending coal
to the Pacific in this manner, and
succeeded one year in having the
mouse legislate against it, but the
amendment was stricken out in the
Senate through the efforts OF the in
terested shipowners and the Eastern
coal companies. The Smith amend

the others mentioned, and a strong
effort will be made to secure it's
adoption by the House conferees.

SUMMIT NOT YET REACHED
PARKER PARTY RETURNS

Professor Parker, the leader of the
eastern mountain climbing party,
had at the time Ole Hjelvig LETT the
Kantishna diggings, failed to reach
the top of Mount Mckinley.
Parker and his men made de-
termined attempt to work their way
up on the south side, but were turn
ed back by the obstacles which all
agree make that route utterly out
of the question. He reached an ele-
walton of 10000 feet, beyond which
progress was impossible, due to verti-
cal cliffs. He then worked along
through the mountains presumably
by way of McPhee's Pass, and came
through with his men to Eureka in
the Kantishna.
Food supplies had run short and
all the party were hungry for some
thing that the civilized appetites
crave, rather tnan the Sclentlnc 1000
prepared after lengthy study. 1t was
on April 20 that Parker blew into
the Kantishna. He wasted no time,
and upon getting more provisions
from the miners, he returned to the
old Lloyd tent on the Mckinley riv-
er. 1t was the intention of the par
ty to make another attempt to reach
the top, starting from the base of
the mountain in the middle of July
With the open condition of the gla-
ciers to combat, during this season
of the year, the Kantishna men are
doubtful of the probable success of
this final attempt =.

a Warrant in Friends Home

LONDON, Aug 21-It has just
the elusive suffragette leader who has

some delightful jokes on the police, one
of them worthy of such a notable
strateglst. 4
Miss Pankhurst is now enjoying her
self at Dieppe, where she Is out of the
jurisdiction of the English courts, but
before she escaped to France she was
for some time safely ensconsed in a
royal palace where she was immune
from arrest. This was Hampton Court
Palace, built by Cardinal WoIsey, AL
though the palace is King George
property, it is never used as a royal
residence, but is divided into suites of
apartments which are granted by the
King to persons of noble birth, mostly
ladies with limited means.
With one of these, who Is an ardent
suffra gist, Miss Pankhurst took shell
ter when the warrant was issued. The
police eventually traced her, but were
powerless, for. although the old feudal
law making anyone in a royal palace
immune from arrest has been abol-
ished, no one is ever arrested under
such conditions except on a charge of
the greatest gravity. Christabel lay

COMP ROM|SE ON
LIGHT CONTRACT
Macon Council Will Let Present
Agreement Stand Until
Next July.

MACON, GA, Aug, 21.-The contro-
versy as To whether the city council
should repudiate its present light con-
tract with the Macon Railway & Light
Company and give w. j. Massee's
company a chance to bid on new con-
tract was settled by council last night
when it ratified a mutual understand
ing between the two corporations and
provided that the present contract
shall extend until July /, 1913, and that
bids shall then be opened
Coincidentally comes the announce
ment that the Georgia Railway &
Power Company, of Atlanta, will be a
bidder at that time.
Three weeks ago council refused to
give Mr.. Massee a chance. A week
later it reversed itself and repudiated
the contract with the Macon Railway
& Light Company and advertised for
bids on a new five-year contract. Last
night council rescinded that action and
called for other bids for contract be-
ginning next July
BY agreeing to a compromise of this
nature. Mr.. Massee induced Mavor
John T. Moore not to veto councils
action in asking for new bids. The
mayor takes the position that the
present five-year contract, though il
legal, because the charter provides
that council can not make a contract
for more than one year, is a moral
agreement and will be respected by
him for that reason. The contract
was made when Mr.. Massee was pres
ident of the Macon Railway & Light
